Two hundred years ago today, William Morgan was detained at this location, the former site of Danold’s Tavern in Batavia, NY, on a trumped-up theft charge. Freemasons were in the process of kidnapping Morgan as punishment for threatening to publish Masonic secrets. This scheme horribly backfired.

Just in case you ever have impostor syndrome, remember that in 2011, workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory brought six kilograms of plutonium together to take a picture to show their management. The amount was enough to start a chain nuclear reaction if they had been slightly closer.

im inclined to agree with the techlords that AI is dangerous. again, not because it's alive but because they're insisting on putting it in positions where it can hurt people, leaving aside the promised jobpocalypse they're promising us. chimp with gun

- sherlock holmes é um detetive - detetive particular - como assim - não é da polícia - mas ele tem relação com a polícia - participa de investigações - faz trabalho de polícia - sim - interfere em investigações - participa - sem ser exatamente policial - certo - miliciano - q - nada não

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

If you decide to work for a company like OpenAI to begin with, I think it shows that your capacity for moral reasoning and your ability to accurately assess the consequences of your actions should be met with extreme suspicion. Why would I listen to someone depraved and untrustworthy?

It is obvious to me that AI has immense destructive power, but I don't really think the people dismissing these concerns as 'marketing' are doing so because they are uninformed or as 'cope.' I think the AI industry's historical capacity for puffery is informing these takes.
