I could start my dream of opening a school for teaching the history of Warhammer 40k best/worst timeline

I highly recommend Ed Zitron's take on Anthropic. This anthropomorphizing of AI and portraying it as a thing with agency is completely inaccurate

A longish post which goes beyond the description of the heroic pause. This message is my takeaway
Screen shot from the post linked below. Text reads: 
So here's how I would urge you all to celebrate Stanislav Petrov Day this year. Remember the example of the man who disobeyed orders to ignore what the cutting-edge computer system was telling him to do, and saved untold millions of lives in the process. Whatever an Al is telling you, whether it's a warning of a national security threat or a business efficiency" recommendation or healthcare "cost-saving" or personal "communication tips," do not trust it unreservedly. Do not let yourself become a meat-puppet for unthinking software because it's easier in the short run. Do not take irreversible actions, especially actions putting life at risk, due to AI guidance.

Disobey, always, rather than do something barbarous.

Yes, and funny enough US intelligence literally said this was what the true threat of AI was: misinforming, misinformation, accelerating already existing threats rather than some doomsday mumbo jumbo hype from AI hucksters

That stone armor dwarf unit looks sick! I do feel that AoS really ranges in quality of designs and implementation... Some factions just have way more care and thought put into them than others

For decades, oil companies have funded universities’ research into climate change “solutions” that would not require the public to stop using oil and gas. Carbon capture is one of their favored ideas. One snag: It won’t fix the climate crisis.

As global leaders look to tech advances to solve climate change, one leading idea involves capturing carbon pollution from the air and burying it underground forever. While carbon capture may sound pr...

Kinda thinking we need to turn this around. Gamers need to get Valve to pressure payment processors. Steam is one of the largest digital platforms in the world. We need to fight back against the puritanical crusade by evangelical organizations www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/up...
pcgamer.com
Upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has been removed from Steam search and delisted in certain countries as Valve classifies it Adults Only: 'It's very bad news for us'
The label "immediately makes the game persona non grata in several important countries like Germany".

This guy is one of the dumbest motherfuckers that's slimed its way into the public discourse and 60 min is a joke for employing a moron who doesn't know shit from fuck. Anyone in the scene taking this "AI doomsday" crap seriously is a complete rube

Do you think that most of the people involved in AI probably are suffering from some level of AI psychosis or narcissism? (Believing doomsday is around the corner, massive job loss, etc.)

Just my opinion, but I feel like these people are too close to the issue to have an objective or reputable view of the subject. They've drunk the Kool aid and basically have their own low grade AI psychosis. They might not think they're "galaxy brained" promoting AI, but doomedism does the thing

I honestly didn't know about this stuff, I think talking about it and making it known is helpful. Over here in the Midwest, assholes like Kopf took like over a decade before their sins came to roost as they're finally encountering their commupance. You're playing the long game ❤️

I think it's because people are not well versed in history(myself included) my brother brings up Supreme Court chicanery that makes our modern issues pale in comparison, or much more harrowing moments in American democracy. Unfortunately the media reporting these users are also unaware of history

I'm not a professional photographer and my Google review photos are good enough to be occasionally featured by the restaurant. You really don't need to rely on AI when you can get humans to do your job for free lol

This is why the Times and much of modern journalism is a joke. They fail to mention that the actual process of attempting this is likely to go nowhere legally. The administration has a snowball's chance in hell of accomplishing this. This would be the purview of Congress.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Mm, I'd say it's addictive, not necessarily fun. Like Twitter/Bluesky/FB are rarely fun in any sense of the word. They're designed for engagement, sure. And billionaires are pretty dumb by and large so it's not surprising they get locked into the system

I know everyone’s afraid to hire Black women bc it might make a white man upset but I need some work. I have 5-figure medical debt, a cat that needs a vet appt 😿, a medically complex household, the usual bills that come with adulthood, and I’d love to get good skincare again 😩 HIRE ME.
