Well, as I get older, my body is breaking down. If it wasn’t for my shortage of memory, I would be even more miserable. So it must be intnetional. Oh… wait, not that memory…

You would think… but to the government, “emergency” is just a marketing phrase.

You really need to look up the word functional. And you probably need to learn what thier goals were. They didn’t have just one. They had a lot. And they achieved a very high percentage. As they did so, they kept adding goals. Some they achieved some they didn’t.
They also managed to kill between 11 and 17 million non-combatants. That is a huge and evil undertaking. Surely not everyone in their country agreed. So they had to overcome that. And there was significant resistance efforts in just about every place they invaded. They held many of those places for years… years. But somehow they weren’t functional? Do you have any actual logical arguments? Or just false sweeping statements with no evidence or even justification.

Fully stocked bar in thier personal office? That’s crazy. I wonder if they can claim workmans comp or something.

Well I did interview at Microsoft once a long time ago. They did ask some stupid questions… lol

This here is the point most people fail to grasp. The AI was taught by people. And people are wrong a lot of the time. So the AI is more like us than what we think it should be. Right down to it getting the right answer for all the wrong reasons. We should call it human AI. Lol.

Didn’t we already do this exact post like 2 or 3 weeks ago?

It would be idiotic to say “that a nazi government is cool and good”. Which is why I never said that. You are projecting what you want me to say so that you can argue about it. The only word I used was functional. It has no moral good or bad. It’s just a fact. Like something is the color green. My claim was that there is significant overlap in the tactics used by all functioning governments good or bad including the nazi government. So simply saying that the current US gov is using similar tactics isn’t much of a suprise, nor insult. We should focus on what they are trying to achieve with those tactics. That is where the true evil is. Same as the nazis. They used those tactics to kill people that didn’t look like them, among other evils. If you are done trying to put words in my mouth, you might see we are on the same side. I just dig deeper.

Well that is true. The democrats are genocidal fucks as well.

See that would be great. But it actually causes division between people who agree that the genocidal fucks should be dragged out int the street and … but don’t agree to jumping to conclusions or over generalizations.
The actual supporters of genecidal fucks aren’t here to be divisive against.

Sure, except no one got offended. Though I guess I didn’t read the most recent responses. So maybe someone did, but I kinda doubt it.

But then you are trusting that 3rd party vendor. Who approved them… MS probably.

Actually, the votes prove my point.

I’m not saying it’s divisive to say fuck nazis. But calling someone you know almost nothing about a nazi seems a bit extreme. Mostly because the level of willing misinterpretation on here is stupid high. I could say fuck trump, and somehow there will be people who will call me a trump supporter. It boggles the mind.

On the one hand, google is obviously evil, and it’s intentions here are undoubtedly evil as well. On the other, I do think some kind of verification of developers should exist. Just not in google hands. But who. There really isn’t anyway to create an organization that could be trusted to do this. And of course, the user should be able to chose to install apps from an unverified developer.

I read that quote in mom’s voice in my head. Kinda like “don’t swear honey, it makes you look uncivilized.” Then I wondered, is there a civilized way to call someone a nazi?

The real question is… is the poster trying to drive engagement, or division.

In fairness. When you sign up to work for a startup you have an idea what that means. AI startups are well known to be even worse. AI startups cost a lot more, so they have to move even faster before they run out of money. They also usually pay very well. And if the one you are at happens to make it really big, you might retire in your 20s.

And… if you have worked at an AI startup for any length of time, every big company is looking to hire you. So you can easily leave anytime.

So what I am saying is that these people made a choice. And they continue to make that choice everyday.

Source: I have worked at startups (recently got aquired so stuck at a big company until my payoff vests). I intentionally ruled out the AI start ups, and thier equivalent before them, because I don’t care to make it big. I want to work with top people who can do thier own jobs and with less overhead. But I have kids and hobbies that I don’t want to give up. So I made my choice. These people can too.

I think the focus on the shareholder perceptions is the core issue. It’s compounded by the short term interests of said shareholders.

I go with “I don’t have the energy for that”. People can’t argue with it, and it says that I already have a full list of more important energy expenditures that I don’t want to prioritize this thing above.
