They knew. They definitely knew. And they were probably like “Okay, this is super inapropriate, but on the other hand, when do I get this chance ever again?"

I think they mean to say the current classification is upheld, while the incoming one is still debated in court

Because it’s populist and people are stupid

The thing with new Gs is that they recognized and try to improve that situation. 5G for example includes low-frequency bands that allow to cover much more area with one tower, making it more feasible for less populated areas.

Evangelical in the sense of protestant christians or in the sense of that crazy cult that’s going on over in the Americas? Maybe it’s just the news giving me the wrong idea, but I really don’t recognise my religion just one ocean away.

I am a scepticist, but (or rather because) I grew up with a progressive church that allows and encourages critical thinking. Very tame stances overall, no overly aggressive rethoric, laughing and coloring you hair very much allowed. Then you cross the pond and hear fuming people talk about filthy infidels and holy wars like wth…

I think these people are not necessarily easy to manipulate, but indoctrinated to hell and back

There are ones you can refill, the disposable ones should just be banned altogether.

Lies are deliberate, hallucinations are mistakes. Talking about lying AIs implies that they have something akin to free will or an intrinsic motivation, which they simply do not have. They are an emotionless tool designed to give good answers. It is comparable to claiming the mechanism for generating speech in the human brain comes up with lies, which it obviously doesn’t, it just articulates them.

I’m not saying humans can’t hullacinate, I am saying it is not the same as lying and that AIs can’t lie.

I can’t tell if you are serious, but as someone with a master in CS and some basic experience in neuroscience, I want to clarify a two things:

• AIs can’t lie, because they neither know nor understand things
• AIs are not like us and you can’t make them like us yet, because we don’t even fully understand how we work

Because Brave is by default what Firefox is when you install Librewolf instead - and more. And you can refuse to see that and be wrong about it, I don’t care. I use Librewolf because I want to, I still think it’s not the better browser.

Which is going to work for a couple months until people realise you go there and are never heard of again… If they didn’t already hear this from deserted mercenaries

I think in Germany, ‘sozialliberal’ usually refers to being liberal in general, except for being pro social regulations / markets. So I guess it means everything and nothing 🤷

They had them fooled. I’m pretty sure it’s unalive ammo

I love how these fuckers have a Wikipedia article that’s like: “Yup. Their nickname sums it up. These are fucking motherfuckers that do nothing but look pretty. Do not touch them, do not keep them, they are just mean fuckers.” And they stress that ‘fucker’ part like 4 times.

I really can’t stand spiders except for jumping spiders. They have caused me to become a lot less hostile towards spiders in general

AI has the potential to make most work optional in the long run. Humans have the potential to not use this for a global, eternal vacation full of rich experiences and artistic expression, but a reason to let everyone die that is not needed anymore

Games and multiplayer have existed before any of this mess, so it is evidently not necessary. If a publisher thinks otherwise, they can’t continue to make multiplayer games. Sucks to be them I guess, I’m sure others will pick up the ball

Multiple approaches have been suggested - from local multiplayer (which can potentially be extended to the internet) over releasing server binaries or source code, to providing documentation that allows to recreate a server.

“80,000 Hours”, because not only does it teach you something about wealth, humanism and fulfilling careers, it also highlights imminent dangers that receive little (scientific/regulatory) attention and points out that everyone can do something without being rich or a genius.

Although I somewhat dislike their frequent measure of ‘impact’ in terms of money, the book puts quite a few things into perspective, and I can accept that you need to quantify things to do so. I particularly like that they encourage you to think about problems from different angles, and them pointing out that you can have a very real impact on the overall wellbeing of any living creature, pretty no matter what you do.

You can run R1 locally, it’s just fucking creepy, because it tries super hard to sound human

I love how it goes completely over Trump’s orange, balding head, that NATO leadership talks to him as if he was a child
