Imagine being anyone anywhere whipped like an Amazon worker. Will the waitress have to piss in bottles? Bad for tips I think.

A reality distortion field that seperates a person from the real world? What could go wrong?

It’s about as dystopian as it gets.

How did you get the beans above the frank?

Frank and beans!

Arrrgh!

I respectfully disagree. They were built for power and control from the start. Monestisation just paid for it and helped adoption.

Dead people also have no claim on the present or future. You can own more, even when the pie is shrinking if you negate others claims.

Do you think anything is stopping them now? Why do you think these systems were built?

How is this different than FTP?

It’s the IT standard of care for backup.

3-2-1

3 copies, including the original

2 types of media

1 stored offsite

The first is to be used. The second is to restore the 1st in the event it is damaged. The third are to restore the first and second in case the building burns down.

working on legal options to allow EU companies to break existing gas supply contracts with Russia without facing penalties

I believe it is called Force Majeur; an act of war escape clause. When the Russian army started marching that was it.

Trump, his techbro and oiligarch backers etc.

Trump: To defeat jina, we must become jina.

While Air B&B has done irreperable harm to the housing market, I’m not 100% convinced it should be banned. I propose if a house operates as an enterprise, it be taxed according to commercial rates, not residential. It would go a long way to resolving the inequities.

It’s a largely hollow threat. The US doesn’t have the talent to absorb these businesses operations and they can’t import talent because not a lot educated talented people want to live in a fascist shithole where the local shooting range is your kids school, and you’ll get deported to a foreign prison.

America’s pull of global talent is now a push. Academics and MDs are fleeing a country that is self immolating.

I had a lot of fun talking to one about how we could fully electrify a hobby farm without batteries, by using a high voltage DC overhead wire on a cable pulley system. Everything from electrical engineering, to cable selection, sourcing vendors and costs.

Mistakes were made, but it was genuinely helpful at times. I was impressed at how far it has come.

I respect what you are saying, and agree our LLM are just superficial pseudo communication engines. Theories of intelligence differ, but I don’t think human intelligence, i.e. IQ of 100 is really all that far ahead of LLM. Just talk to your average person. We are easily wrong. We have bias and error. We repeat and amplify untruths and make mistakes.

It could be fewer breakthoughs than you think to get there. Not because the tech is so advanced, but because we are not that special.

Super-intelligence is just degrees better.

Like all technology, the development times get shorter and shorter. No one can predict the future and specific dates are meaningless, but it is plausible that, stumbles aside, AI achieves superintelligence in the very near future. My gut says sooner than later with 90% probability by 2040. <-remember I said dates are meaningless. ;)

The world is not ready for it. It will be more destructive than constructive. May god have mercy on us all. I hope I am wrong.

While Tesla is now and forever dead to me. I would love an EV without the surveilance, self steering, self braking etc…

I want an EV that only I control, not run by some fascists software updates. Autodrive isn’t something that frees you from the burden of driving, its control over where when and how you go anywhere. Its control marketed as convenience.

Give me the dumbest EV possible. It should also be cheaper to produce.

I believe in you!
