This is pretty much what everyone said immediately after Anthropic reached for the “too powerful for the public” excuse. Weve all seen this exact song and dance before. I suppose when you’ve just finished shoveling billions of dollars of speculative funding into a data center inferno its not acceptable to say that you rolled the dice and they came up snake eyes, but its still galling to be lied to so transparently.

Just like WINE!

Well stuff from TOS and TNG era productions is pretty sought after by collectors.

But if you check the site, its actually a bunch of big screen TVs that have gotten the most interest, with office furniture and weird looking rocks close behind.

Ive heard more convincing arguments for an economy based on monkey pictures.

Many breweries add DHMO directly to their product without disclosing it on the label.

Hes going to turn Iran into another Syria, declare victory, then fuck off and pretend it never happened. If it destabilizes Europe and the Middle East he wont care. In fact, Miller et al. are probably excited about the chance another refugee crisis will push Europe’s far right into power. Hes going to try the same thing in Cuba, except the consequences there will be unavoidable.

Yes, thats why they use those words every time they dont want to release something.

Its just such a strange way to phrase this. All sorts of classified and confidential information gets locked in safes, usually because nobody is working on it, not because of how secret it is. It sounds like this piece of information is embarrassing to Trump in some way, which is generally not surprising and would explain why nobody is working on it. Claiming “grave damage to national security” is just a generic way to say they dont want to release it.

That doesn’t sound very reassuring.

I think there were actually more bots here in the early days. Its comparatively easy to automate setting up all the accounts you want, and I think we were being used as a testing ground to calibrate behavior and coordination. It seems like the most obvious ones have moved on, or at least become less obvious. High quality chatbots arnt free, and were too credulous and too small in number and influence to be worth the effort.

I dont know. Maybe its not fixable. Maybe democracy as we know it cant withstand contact with social media and AI any more than absolute monarchy could survive the printing press. Maybe it will get better on its own, as kids growing up with AI start to spot it the way people today spot CGI.

Somehow I dont think a class is going to fix this.

They definitely saw Terminator, then started a letter writing campaign to DARPA to please build them an army of terminators.

My God. At least the US’s fascism sort of makes sense from an internally consistent perspective. Make it make sense!

Yes back then we didn’t have Facebooks and Mypages. We didn’t even have blogs really. If you wanted to post something on the internet you got yourself a Geocities account and made your own homepage using HTML. That usually just meant putting up dozens of animated gifs saying the page was under construction. If you wanted everyone to know you were a really edgy badass who didn’t play by the rules you’d have some laughing skulls and a gif of Diablo doing his attack animation. If you actually had something to say on your page you could use the <blink> html tag </blink> so that everyone would know just how important the message was, and also to give them eye cancer.

Its not a guarantee of flawless operation thats required, its a source of liability if something goes wrong. Someone has to be responsible if the latest update blows everything up.

Fight Forgainst Slaverteres.

He hasnt been CEO for decades, but he was on the board up until 2020 when MS’s current AI strategy was being developed and executed. His current big push is energy projects, all intended as AI power sources, along with actual AI companies.

Oh hello the 1980s called and they want their breaking news back.
