Guns don't kill people, at least tightly controlled guns. If they do, then the killer was whoever controls it. And not just corporations. Intelligence agencies, non-tech corporations, actors with enough money and so on. The not-so-tigh

What is small is the human brain. Everyone want to be in "the" place where everyone else (or at least, they want to connect with) is, all those silos promise that in a way or another. Federated solutions, using @domain or service,

Is not Asimov you should learn from, but Gôdel. He took a language with hard restrictions and created over it another language, a higher abstraction level, to overcome those restrictions.

For me the keyword there is "pivot", not AI. My current expertise will continue to be needed, and having better understanding on how AIs work and can be used probably will be able to do my current work better. Maybe even take a st

Sometimes substractive approaches work better than additive ones. It may not be about what else you can do, but what things that you are doing you may stop to do so to push a change. Less consumption, travel, driving and so on, done on scal

The new normal is that 1-in-1000 year extreme weather events seem to be happening every few years.

The single raindrop never feel responsible for the flood, but at least they don't have in front of them big players with buckets, hoses, pools, dams and so on getting luxury lives by adding huge amounts of water to the flood for decade

Some complementary reading could be My Philosophy on Alerting ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/199PqyG3UsyXlwieHaqbGiWVa... ) and https://how.complexsystems.fail/ In any case, not all signals

Not sure if it is a power grab or the other conclusions reached by that site, but whatever "ban" is instituted it won't be for internally run AIs by big/powerful enough companies, intelligence and other high profile gove

You can try with more down to Earth (or at least, closer to sea level) names, like Holy Cow.

The world as we know it can end multiple times, with different ways of knowing it. The physical world will remain in its place (unless a very improbable event happen), but things changed drastically around many singular events, several in o

I was thinking more in the line of hacking the systems they run in and deleting/corrupting everything, at the point of reaching the backups even. But rigging their base informations, or injecting "knowledge" that somewhat mes

I don't know how far AIs will or can get, but you should be scared of people and organizations first. OpenAI/Microsoft/Google/Facebook and other high visibility players may be putting controls, limits, filters, etc to th

What about isolation from the global oceans? If something goes wrong with mass scale seaweed farming how bad things can become?I don't know, producing toxins, being invasive and spreading spores to all the oceans, being affected by vir

Felt a bit underwhelming the example of communication between them, if it will be just that way. Wolfram Alpha is good, but doesn't hold a candle to how ChatGPT process and understand natural language. That ChatGPT send verbatim the en

Impact doesn't mean turning obsolete. History is full of new inventions and technologies that made easier to do some boring and repetitive part of a job, and democratized access to some part of that job for far more people, enhanced wh

I think it was a compromise between achievability and limiting damage what made it to be accepted decades ago. It was unrealistic to ask to not reach 1.5ºC back then, but the increase should be as low as possible to avoid reaching tipping p

The point wasn't not only hitting that limit, but not hitting it before some date (end of century originally). The planet will continue warming up as long as we have an excess of greenhouse gases, even if we reach some kind of cooked u

A decade ago, where I was working at, an administrator complained that one of his virtual machines had a slow IO, and to get more objective data, I told him that use the dd command to check the speed of the disk, he was supposed to be an ex

They can badly translate any of those or any books, put a big dosis of agenda and corrupt our good memories of them with the not subtle at all sponsored messages. But if we will have to lose something anyway, why not try to make it a bit mo

For fictional substances known to man, I would pick red matter (from Star Trek, a drop could turn a planet or star into a black hole) or Ice9 (from Cat's Cradle, a form of solid water that would turn all water in contact with it into I

It's not just like that. The process of creation (at least for some fields) has becoming formulaic, something is succeeding? then keep doing it, do some minimal variation or remix existing things. Put those existing pieces together, ch

It is not a photo, it is not a closed room. We are in a system, that have inputs and outputs. With more than GHG (not just CO2) than preindustrial times, the planet keeps more energy of what it receives to the sun. That affects the pretty c

There is no way to get out of this without carbon capture. We already have too much carbon in the atmosphere, even if we reach net zero. And a lot of that extra carbon in the system was buried before being pumped up as fossil fuel. Said so,
