Wow.

Props for taking me up on that. Seriously. More people need to have this level of responsibility.

"AI is not a toy. It is a weapon,” said CEO Alex Karp. “It will be used to kill people.”

If it aims as well as Gemini retrieves facts, I’m not really worried tbh.

“just complies”

I mean… I get what you mean but also, isn’t that what they used as a defense in Nürnberg?

I think many would fight even in the face of certain death.

I think you’re wildly underestimating the power of apathy and conformism.

I hope you’re right, but I don’t believe you are.

Oh right yeah if you combine anti-abortion views like that with anti-science, yeah, I can definitely your point, yeah.

Well there’s religious nuts who oppose damn near everything, so I’m not surprised.

I’m just pointing out that they’re not traditionally against fertility treatments, although as some are anti-science (which is traditional for religious people), they are also coincidentally anti-IVF etc.

But like, their main point isn’t being against increasing fertility, it’s being against “unnatural science” or smth.

Monolingual people should be reminded that machine translation is still for rather basic conversation.

Until they manage to autogenerate even correct English subs on YouTube on English speaking videos, theres really not much trust I will have in it.

So yeah, cool function, definitely helpful, but machine translation isn’t dependable if you need to accurate with your language.

I have a few problems with this episode, but also it’s one of my favourites, because it’s trying to actually process the problems tech like that would have, languages is sometimes incredibly contextual.

For one AI is shit with idioms.

For things like the UN, you just must have an actual person — who’s proficient at a native-level — translating.

Society doesn’t only improve.

There’s advances and setbacks.

As a Finn I’m very worried about this complacency about authoritarianism. We Finns don’t have “In God We Trust” on our money, no, but it might as well say “In Bureaucracy We Trust”.

I genuinely respect those first amendment auditors. Like a third I see are prolly a bit too douchey, but that’s their right.

What’s the quote again?

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

Username checks out. Guy knows his space produce.

And correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it the religious right that’s anti fertility clinic?

No they’re anti-abortion and anti-birth management, not anti-fertility. Religious nuts are hypocrites and what part of the Bible talks about IVF? Prolly none.

It might genuinely just be a bitter angry person. I don’t even like to call it an ideology, they just complain they had no choice in whether they were brought to this world, ans and since the world sucks, they pretend like if somehow they could’ve chosen, they would’ve chosen not to even live, which makes no sense, as then they’d never have been a person with the capacity to think that. It’s paradoxical, is my point.

I wouldn’t be surprised that just general whackos like that do exist, but yeah, you’re right, it wouldn’t be out of line to false flag it to create even further infighting in the states.

To be honest it’s probably not even much of a challenge for some Russian disinfo agents to convince someone to firebomb shit like that. When people are denied healthcare and housing and the streets are flooded with opioids and guns, it doesn’t take much to find a person easy to manipulate.

So it might be both “real” and also politically puppeteered. That would make the most sense, honestly, but we need to remember that these sort of ultraviolent psychopaths aren’t really… thinking straight.

We’d like to make it make sense, but acts of violence rarely do.

What’s the benefit to the nation?

Why do you even jokingly use a framework in which you’re assuming the current US government does anything “for the nation” instead of themselves?

And also, they’re just gonna ward off attacks with, uhm… gilded smoothie machines and massaging chairs.

As always, the ancient Romans had that.

A nomenclator referred to a slave whose duty was to recall the names of persons his master met during a political campaign. Later, the scope was expanded to include names of people in any social context and also other socially important information about them.

Fuck yeh

Start standing at the entrance to male toilets in conservative meetups, demanding to see everyone’s (micro-) penis.

Looking at the picture this seems like another case of

Or pretend to be immigrants going home, get a thousand bucks, go on vacay, and come home since you’re a white American with several generations and definitely live there

Although if they fingerprint or smth idk that might be a bit inconvenient. But if they don’t and you as a full fledged American have a similar looking illegal friend, take his papers, go abroad, he seeems to no longer be in the US, then return with your 1k.

None of that will obviously work disregard everything don’t try fucking around the borders you’ll get send to the SA Gulags
