If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

I was talking to my mom this morning and she asked what was going on with the terrorist attack they stopped up here. I said “it’s probably another one of those things the fbi loves doing where they convince a teen to plan an attack then arrest him so they can boost their number,” and lol yep.

wrote a poem about dogs
screenshot of notepad:


dog talk

when you've had a dog for long enough
you begin to understand their language
my dog does not speak English, sadly 
but she does speak
bark

after 9 years, i recognize her 
bark
clearly and distinctly
among all the barking in my neighborhood

it is funny because i hear many other dogs
bark
from my neighbor's yards
but they all sound alike to me
for the most part

but my dog is different
and i can tell how she's feeling 
just by listening to her
bark

the most common is the excited
bark
of chasing a squirrel 
that escaped up a tree 

then there's the  
bark
when i'm teasing her with a treat 
and she simply would like me to give it 
to her and stop playing around 

it can be alarming when the
bark
changes halfway, going from excitement or playful
to urgency, fear   

you can hear the difference 
after enough time
and it is important to be able to recognize
when the
bark
goes from background noise
to something worth investigating 

this time, her
bark
was simply just alerting me
to a delivery driver with 
a package for me 

next time, though
surely next time her 
bark
will warn me of something
truly dangerous

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I say again, any "pause/pacing/contemplative silence where AI CEOs think about what they've done and promise to be very good boys from now on" that doesn't result in ACTUAL enforcement mechanisms to hold them Several-Hundred-Billion-Dollars accountable any time their product fucks up is nigh useless
Screenshot of posts from me:

Chris, they trained a system to hack & got scared when it hacked. This is on human beings not being able to logically think through what they've built & what they then trained & told it to do; they'll never "solve alignment," because they can't get what human values they're trying to "align" "Al" To.

Hold the HUMANS accountable for what their systems do. The humans' companies and individual humans themselves.

You can email his campaign at this address: info@JamesTalarico.com. Here's what I wrote.
Hello,

I am very disappointed to see that Mr Talarico has accepted bad-faith Republican framing on the issue of trans kids in sports. Trans kids are neither a threat to safety nor fairness, of course, but accepting the Republican framing on this issue will result in losing support from trans people and their friends, families and allies while not convincing a single Republican to vote for you. It’s a losing issue all around, and shows both bad moral and political judgement on the part of the candidate and his team. As an example, Andy Beshear has won statewide office in a red state without throwing trans people under the bus either rhetorically or in legislation - having vetoed many anti-trans bills and still winning reelection. 

I would really like to see Mr Talarico win, and have been deciding which candidates I will spend my political donation budget on this election season, and any candidate who helps Republicans strengthen their bad-faith, hateful messaging will not receive a single dollar from me or most of the people I know. I would highly encourage Mr Talarico and his campaign to actively counter that narrative by telling these creeps and their allies in the press to stop using vulnerable kids as a political football. If he wants to win, he will have to do so by showing he’s a man of values and character. These recent comments do not give me the impression that he is going to stand up for what’s right when push comes to shove. 

Respectfully,
093

I think a better reply would be "Why are you asking me about this nonsense issue when we are on the brink of being a nation with no allies and no functioning economy due to the ineptitude of the current president and the inaction of the presiding congress?"
