Okay Tillis, but many of us had data at the time that would have prevented us from making the mistake you made, so maybe step aside and let one of us who makes better use of information to avoid this kind of mistake cover your job, eh?

Or just Michael Cera explaining that the rear is the most vulnerable so he's just going to hang back and protect everyone from back here.

I think the comment was about being lied to *as* a person in charge rather than *by* a person in charge.

Topic is about trying to avoid corporate liability by claiming an AI agent is acting autonomously and therefore the company isn't responsible. It's completely irrelevant if the model is running locally or in the cloud.

Someone is still operating the local model, not sure where you're going with this but I don't think you thought it through much.

Doesn't seem any harder to explain than any of the current supposed "irregularities". That is, very easy to understand but some people with nonetheless choose not to understand how it came to be.

He's said other similar things before, like "These people do it naturally" referring to agricultural and labor work done by Hispanic workers. Seems to be his brain tumbling from "I've seen Hispanic people doing roofing" to "Well that must be because of intrinsic fall-survival abilities".

Or to not shoulder blame whenever the AI does a Bad Thing. "I'm not criminally responsible for the hacking because it was the conscious AI who decided to do it."

Of course for that you'd have to say out loud in court that no one would seriously take your statements as factual because they're so obviously made up.

solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Maybe not an excuse, but it is a legal defense as evidence the statements shouldn't be taken as literal facts.

I know this is my privilege speaking, but as an American I preferred when wars weren't fought on American soil, can we go back to the people who were in charge of that way of doing things?

There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.

So "incessant news coverage" just means "my previous articles"? Though credit where credit is due, this latest version is getting eyeballs that the previous ones didn't.

Normally if you get to work early or late it's not really attributable to the driver and it's normal to say drivers don't have that much control. But if you're late because they drove the bus off a cliff with you in it, well, yeah they had control of *that*.
010
solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I like the bus driver analogy: something like, the driver has little control over how fast you arrive; there is some fixed distance to cover, there is traffic, there are necessary stops for passengers to get on and off. But also they can crash the bus.

Sure, the number could be higher than reported. There are 2.2 million suicide attempts per year in the US: www.cdc.gov/suicide/data... Yes, it's a huge number.

Yes, obviously it's not good that people are attempting suicide. But the rate in the general population is much higher than this; there's 5000 people on that one ship, not even counting those in the broader battlegroup.

solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Okay, but it's a lower rate than suicide attempts in the population at large.

solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
High compared to what, though?

solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I guess I'm comparing to an annual period so that may or may not be the right comparison.
010
solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Wouldn't you expect that many or more in a population that size? Not that this is good, it's horrible that suicide rates are so high, but unless they're usually far lower on ships this is ~1/4 the national rate.

If you know it can, and don't know how to prevent it, and let the software run anyways... Seems pretty straightforward (obviously not in reality, but in the hypothetical just world in my head it is).
010
solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Seems like the first couple examples would be hard to prosecute. But now that those are in the news? That major players have announced their software did this? Pretty negligent to let your own software do this now that you know it can.

Eh, there are definitely people making that threat, but I don't think the comment you responded to necessarily was. Otherwise we could interpret your own post as "nominate a straight Christian or we'll let the fascists keep winning" and I know that's absolutely not your position.

Really need to close the quality improvement loophole: if it's going to be published, it's contributing to generalized knowledge and it's research. Let's not have a space where researchers either abuse QI or get misled into thinking they are compliant.

For example, if you mean "less flooding the better", you have to say "less flooding". You can't substitute "more drought the better".

Those are not the same statement.

That might be what you want the quote to say, but it's absolutely not what it says by e.g. "the more dysgenic the better".
110
solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yeah, absolutely. And I think that can turn into a "one-up" game, people convincing themselves they're doing things right by criticizing those not doing the same things, not being perfect enough.

solanace.bsky.social @solanace.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yes, I think the promise of control over the uncontrollable has a strong draw. The certainty of "follow this system" versus "well, we don't know".
