Creating proxy entities to protect oneself is only available to people who hold a lot of capital.

I don't do this stuff at the training level, I just [ask AIs to] make pictures and stories where horrible things happen to people I do not like. That said, given that everything that came out of ChatGPT is processed inputs from the rea

And in spite of all that, the whole country is coming out in their defense. Netanyahu must be a real bastard, I guess, if the courts you just described look better to the demos.

I'm embarrassed that there are people in the world who probably still think I like Dawkins. New Atheism was a hell of a drug.

Scoffing might be a better word. It's been ignorable by privileged people like us for a long time because the jobs being lost (and the people doing those jobs) were "unimportant". I will indeed laugh when the lawyer market co

Title is sarcastic to the idea that robots take jobs, while we have already automated the shit out of our production processes and any grownup has seen people lose their entire livelihood more than once. See who's still laughing in a c

I love when articles about stuff from music or vfx/animation show up here. Anyone who's ever recorded in a studio knows these things, and the weird relationship producers and engineers have with them. I always meant to pick up a s

Moved an hour out of my city, and now I work fully remote as a baseline rather than because of covid, so I have both worlds. What others said about rural being just as cynicism-inducing is very true, first off. If you're genuinely recl

I read about a limitation, and then within a week I read that the limitation has been vanquished. Who hit fast forward, and how did they do it?

Follow your example: someone did create something better at some point. Hence, someone will create something better at some point. Automating people away without taking care of them has been given a pass because so far, the people being aut

Nobody's invented an orchestrator yet. There will be a kAIbernetes invented by someone, which will analyze structures. It seems to me that not many people are really trying hard to project and extrapolate in a realistic way. This will

Not quite yet, friend. Wait till the lawyer market collapses, once they all turn coat the capitalists will have no more intellectual linemen. The quarterback will be sacked. I will not be surprised if we end up with an organization composed

That's the bit that OP and the writer, if they're different people, miss. Fat acceptance is basically a position that we fatties have been forced into. If every skinny person learned to mind their own business, it wouldn't ex

I have no solutions, I'm not even convinced that my statement really encapsulates the problem in a real way. Humans are very difficult. I'm reminded of that speech made by Hugo Weaving's character in The Matrix, about how the

The internet was not designed to deal with money, or security. The internet is designed strictly for information transfer from one place to another with extreme efficiency. At that, it still excels and is no mistake. The problem is all the

Do you have intrusive thoughts? I do. They used to come around and set off huge spirals of self-recrimination over the most pointless bullshit that everyone except me has forgotten about for decades. One day, after reading John Elder Robiso
