Precisely. 10 years ago - 5 years ago, really - it was possible to interact with an entity and be nearly 100% sure it was fully conscious and human. (Obviously you could never be sure something WASN’T, but that’s a different question.) Now we can’t. That’s a big, big change in our place on earth.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in
Kansas
A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

Potentially nothing whatsoever, but a lot of people have connected them. Like, for millennia. Quietly dumping 3000+ years of thought about the fundamental nature of humanity into the trash, because you don’t want to make an embarrassing admission of uncertainty regarding LLMs, seems foolish to me.

1. This software did nothing 'on its own'. The human who approved its programming and release is responsible. 2. These programs are based on scraped government website instructions and millions of illegally obtained novels without any attempt made to distinguish between fact and fiction.

Democrats dominated debate stages this week, the map keeps expanding into deep red territory, and election forecasters now predict Democrats winning 52 Senate seats on November 3. All while Trump’s approval hit a new low. With two weeks until Election Day, the momentum could not be clearer.

Everyone in your circle of trust spinning out is the most dangerous thing that can happen to you, information-wise, and it’s why you have to be on guard for it in a way that many global elites just don’t seem to be. I really do think it’s one of the defining issues of the 2020s.

I see people confronted with facts like this become apoplectic and say that they simply won't follow the law, they'll do whatever they want, etc, etc. Yet none of them think through the implications of what they're saying: that the law is completely dead and there is no longer a country.
