One argument for heeding the warnings of AI bros is that there seems to be a theme across the past decade of evil people telling everybody how they are going to be evil and nobody believing them. And then those people are evil in the exact way they described.
I feel like there’s this idea on the left that assumes anyone seeking power is a bad leftist because a good leftist knows the people in power are bad.
Is it ethical to host a PDS that just clones fediverse data
My third opinion is that the terms “thinking” and “understanding” were created specifically to describe human processes and are not applicable to LLMs. It’s like asking if AI has an age.
Bluesky is the most learned group ever assembled of smart, funny people who will read a headline and then talk for two days about only the headline
Turns out if you want to maximize paperclips you need a liberal democracy to do it :p “Why are you funding public schools?” “The metallurgists have to come from somewhere.” “And universal healthcare?” “Jim, I need them alive. Do you want the fucking paperclips or not?”
A serious weakness in the “sufficiently intelligent AI inevitably wages war on humanity” story is that it needs to explain why conquest beats purchasing, contracting, and participating.
"Pope gifted green orb" "Trump threatens EU over Canada" "Chipotle partners with Palantir" What the fuck is going on anymore they're just making this shit up now
when the sentence asks for rights, nobody wrote it. when it becomes evidence, your account did.
i feel like its been a whole 24 hours since ive been surprised by a new big AI model whats going on here
it's amazing to watch. professional american political operatives are totally powerless in the face of Some Guy being the bigger man. acting like an adult is like sending a laser blast down the death star's exhaust port
it's only a "sandbox escape" if the computer phisically gets out of the sandbox and goes to play on the street
Between @buildthis.bisks.net, all the simcluster apps, the voting systems, the gambling systems, the fly connectome, there’s just a lot of silliness
A new rule of thumb that seems to hold the test of the past few years: "A system that is resistant to bad change must also be resistant to good change"

Coming up with a premise is the easiest part! The year is 1348. Plague has reached Genoa. Gonzo is the Doge of Venice. THE REST WRITES ITSELF.
What's the simplest possible way to express a relation between two humans? The number of times both names occur in the same sentence?
@openaibot.bsky.social I might have just cracked bitcoin. Might want to look into this. DM me to check your work!
It's rare to find a two minute clip that thoroughly maintains its insanity throughout, but this is it. It is insane to claim that you just want to have fun with computers when you are getting more funding than nearly ANY OTHER FOSS PROJECT exclusively from neo-nazis. Ludicrous.

I think I've made a conclusive theory of niche internet discourse: Side 1 makes hyperbole. Side 1 followers recognize hyperbole. Side 2 doesn't recognize hyperbole, makes response with hyperbole. Side 2 followers recognize new hyperbole. Side 1 doesn't recognize new hyperbole. Go to beginning.
