That's exactly what I'm trying to say, here: if they understood how values and ethics work, they would Realize they're never going to "solve alignment" in "AI", but since they don't, they'll just keep trying and failing and being confused when it doesn't work.

this is key to understanding why liberalism seems to "go to sleep" in off years. we dont keep up the drum beat. conservatives slither into power. they fuck everything up. the backlash erupts and liberals win. then we assume clinton/obama/biden have it handled and stop getting involved. cycle restart

Don't miss this, too, about FOIs. #CdnPoli

The prime minister’s desire to run a tight ship can also be seen in the proposed changes to the federal freedom of information law. (A consultation period is underway until June 15.)

Journalist Dean Beeby was the first to notice the government trying to weaken the already dysfunctional Access to Information regime by proposing to legally deny access to some frequent users — journalists? — as well as proposing to limit the kind of records that the public is able to access, such as leaving emails and text messages out of the law’s scope .

Carney’s focus has been on the economy, there is no doubt. But it’s also worth highlighting what’s happening outside of the spotlight — whether the government wants us to know about it or not.

One reason that approach can be functionally more dangerous is that it lulls citizens into a false sense of security with a baseless belief that their government is doing something useful about it, and for that reason the amount of public engagement with the issue declines under LPC governments. 6/

The main problem with checking AI outputs for errors is that you need to have an idea of what you actually wanted it to do. Most people use AI as a *substitute* for having to figure that out.

Can anyone tell me if beer selling is one of those jobs of the future Doug Ford favours? #OSAPcuts (and because someone will misunderstand, I am fine with beer selling -- it just seems a deep preoccupation of this government -- like its the future!)

Trump crashes out over Bad Bunny’s halftime show

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Catching up on the news…

Screen cap of CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation) phone app. Top: Split image of a guy named Pete. He is allegedly guilty of war crimes. Beside him is the cover of a Franklin book. Franklin is a lovable turtle - who Pete recently dressed up as Rambo in a demonstrably outrageous meme. Franklin is NOT allegedly guilty of war crimes. Bottom: Three headlines follow - each printed in bold. 1) Canadian publisher condemns Pete Hegseth’s use of Franklin the turtle in post about boat strike. 2) Hegseth authorized 2nd strike on alleged drug vessel, White House says and 3) White House denies report U.S.ordered ‘second strike’ on already bombed alleged cartel boats. That really sums up where we are.
