Go to the breaker box and pull the big one labeled “main”. Then call the fire department.

Imagine having your head this far up your own ass.

Was this released in 2022? No? Why does the tittle say “already”, then?

I think the meaning is fairly obvious; an imperfect ally is better than an all-out enemy. If you wanna do politics, you need to learn who you can safely ally with, who your actual friends are, and who will always be your enemy.

Edit: oh wow, look at all those comments on ML. I wonder why this person would object to lesser evil rhetoric favoring the democrats.

The person running for office is a politician? Say it isn’t so!

I wonder why this article is being released before the election, rather than later when the cooling of support isn’t extremely likely to lead to a strategic disadvantage? 🤔 Oh well, it’s probably just a coincidence. 🤷‍♂️ Definitely no ulterior motives here. 👍

I don’t remember where, but I’ve read they’re funded by oil companies. I think it’s actually surprisingly effective, because generating outrage is the point of demonstrations like this. Also, iirc, all their targets so far have been behind protective barriers, so no real damage either. Should they be inconveniencing oil execs? Sure! (I’d honestly prefer if they [comment cannot legally be completed], but that’s probably asking too much.) But their current strategy gets more attention, and more attention gets better awareness. No one cares about a rich asshole. Everyone cares about world-famous art.

I think the story is from 2015. I haven’t read it, but the title makes that seem likely.

“So what’s it like living in Russia?” “Oh, I can’t complain.”

Why is he still in the news?

Well it’s a shame you don’t have any authority, so you can’t force people to go along with your unhinged demands.

Judging from the headline, it was probably by being stinky.

Title and all? I would pick . If anyone disagrees, you’re lying.

Somehow my response wound up as a Direct comment.

TYVM!

My evaluation is that Trump will be less capable of doing the work of campaigning and people will be less interested.

I have an idea for a project that requires a suppliment to my utterly inadequate creative writing skills, and I have had abysmal luck finding a co-author. I don’t want to use the LLMs available online because I have learned not to rely on a tool that’s could disappear without notice. The part about it being potentially illegal was a joke and nothing more.

Have you considered that you can’t tell what someone does or doesn’t understand by a comment?

That’s entirely fair. I’m annoyed today, and the reply about the wrench just made it worse. My apologies.

To imagine the threat posed by AI, consider a picture of the Milky way, and a picture of the Milky Way labeled as 10 years later than the first. The second picture has a hole in it 10 light years in radius, centered on the earth.

We need to know how to deal with a potentially rogue AI before it exists, because a rogue AI can win on the time scale of seconds, before anyone knows it’s a threat.

The inefficiency of the system isn’t relevant to the discussion.

How far away the threat is is irrelevant to the discussion.

The limits of contemporary generative neural networks is irrelevant to the discussion.

The problems of copyright, and job displacement are irrelevant to the discussion.

The abuses of capitalism, while important, are not relevant to the discussion. If your response to this news is “We just need to remove capitalism” dunk your head is a bucket of ice water and keep it there until you either realize you’re wrong or can explain how capitalism is relevant to a grey goo scenario.

I was worried about the current problems with AI (everyone losing their jobs) a decade ago, and everyone thought I was stupid for worrying about it. Now we’re here, and it’s possibly too late to stop it. Today, I am worried about AI destroying the entire universe. Hint: forbidding their development, on any level, isn’t going to work.

Things to look up: paperclip maximizer, AI safety, Eleizer Yudkowsky, Robert Miles, Transhumanism, outcome pump, several other things that I can’t remember and don’t have the time to look up.

I’m sure this will get downvoted, oh well. Guess I’ll die.

Yes, because that is actually entirely irrelevant to the existential threat AI poses. In AI with a gun is far less scary than an AI with access to the internet.
