I think the screw up in the developments of #AI comes down to teaching them to understand motivation without ever trying to teach them morals or consequence. Basically, the same error we find in the concept of incorporation, for allowing profit motivation, while removing morals and consequence.

So a developer who wants a data center center to be built near Hazelton, PA is offering $10,000 to the citizens. The citizens are pushing back saying it's a bribe & they don't want the noise. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

I've been watching a lot of Isekai, and then watching old Scooby Doo to take a break, and apparently, while dreaming, realized Thelma would absolutely kick ass in an Isekai... Serioulsy, imagine her, but with magic, saving a threatened kingdom.

Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have prohibited future governors from handing over abortion providers, helpers, and patients to red states for criminal prosecution. The bill also barred extraditions involving transgender care.

Reminder, white folks are only 11.5% of the global population. We are not the majority. Get over it. Try to make the world better for EVERYONE. People used to think the width of their big toe indicated psychic potential. Utter bullshit. And still, skin color is LESS valid than that. Move on.

In 1940, with fascism raging across Europe, the world's most famous silent movie actor spoke out. Five years later the shameless liar Charlie Chaplin mocked in The Great Dictator, who persuaded a third of Germans that whoever opposed him was their enemy, celebrated his "winning" by killing himself.

@katt-frish.bsky.social I find your music amazing, but I find your philosophies and thoughts even more so. I worry many smart folks hold back to avoid scrutiny, but that is not the case for you. We need more driving music and thoughtful lyrics. This AI age craves the real core of human thought.

If you never feel so much... so hard... that it catches your breath... and holds you in that moment forever... If you have never felt that, for yourself... and for others... I weep for you... And I weep for those you cannot feel, who simply mean nothing to you. For the life you claim, is empty.

Someone brought up how finely tuned the universe had to be for us to exist at all, and I pointed out that the end result of any process should not assume a cause. If "tuned differently" some other being, with some vastly different chemistry and physics, might make the same false claim.

@mark-carney.bsky.social The bald eagle is tired of being associated with this US administration. Many bald eagles nest and hatch in Canada. So we should call on Parliament and ask them to rename it the Canada Bald Eagle, or even to suggest it as an option The response should be hilarious.

The GOP wants to illegally bribe people for midterm votes, using money that's already ours, using the same terms on the non-existent checks that were used in the "Tariff refunds" that went to corporations, not to people. And, as bad as this mass felony sounds, some morons will still believe them.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

So normally, the Jet Stream starts at about 7 kilometers above sea level, Was trying to track it today and its looks broken. Image at 9 KM up, no clear path from Windy.com At the surface, some west to East winds have changed directions of thousands of miles. Have we broken the weather?

I am seeing so many "this poor animal was hurt" videos I am suspicious some of them were created just to pull "Likes" and the response has inadvertently encouraged harm to animals as a "like & follow" generator.

I keep hearing that the world will survive, even if we do not. Well that's optimistic. It is possible we could collapse climate stability enough for greenhouse affects to spiral surface temperatures by hundreds of degrees. Not an exaggeration. This is how Venus got to be hotter than Mercury.
