Yeah, right. Hope people won't believe that weird conspiracy theory about how the government can change weather and has had the technology for years.

What lies abundant. Seems like much of our media is just plain openly hostile to truth now. Our unaccountable leaders may have modeled and normalized this for us.

It's like this (or was before I left) in Capital One. So I think it's a universal big corporation type of thing. And beyond that its probably a bigger part of the trend of break down in dignity and morals.

Who knows. Probably when they are pushed some more. Most populations you'll find will tolerate more abuse than you think; isn't it easy to measure the abuse factor of a peoples' by just measuring and varying the things like f

People downvote you because they are gullible, naive, peace-loving hippies or wait I mean they hate the hippies, but also still hate any semblance of eye-for-an-eye or retribution or revenge. It's better that you bend over, take it, an

I'm waiting for the day people wake up from being gullible and naive, and realize all this data they are giving to the AI labs will be used to compete against them. You wouldn't operate in any startup having a public camera stream

they have that incentive until they do not. After you have given them enough data of all your best ideas, products, etc and they use the non-training data you opted to share with them, to create a competing product, then it was no ones faul

Makes me wonder though, how likely it is your field/industry/discipline/company/business is to be replaced by some small player who makes the risk, doesn't get caught or deterred early enough, and then either become

yeah. I mean, I think (as someone similar to you) the truth is not rewarded because we are in an age where deception as the norm is. Or maybe that's always how it was as humans, and we were simply too naive and gullible to notice befor

This reminds me of that game of telephone. Eventually, the message gets morphed and transformed into something different from what was originally said. Is this really what we want?

Yeah because isnt it just about money and relationships? They have relationships to those student's families and need the networks. They realize too that its more about the credentials and networks and money comes in if that support th

The training on "all open repositories" is the only training we heard about. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't beneath these greedy companies to train on other data, and respond "oops! we didn't that would h

The earth is a massive battery, and it loves to exchange electricity with us when we touch it. I think people forget this, and I guess since we have grown up with rubber shows and are of generations that wear shoes even at home, we disconne

We were both being satirical. Seems like people couldn't seem to attribute me the same generosity and benefit of the doubt as the OP. Funny and yet the starkness of the hostility onto my post and not his is real.

You sound like a useless-eater manager. Just the kind of roles we'll be happy to have in our future Utopia. The people will be happy to be led by such visionaries such as yourself.

Heard of the documentary, "Everything is a Rich Man's trick"? It's quite eye opening, and makes this similar conclusion with evidence pointing to the Rich Men through history. Highly recommend a watch.

So, basically, over the last century or more or so, we've learned: - our laws, the ones that supposedly keep society stable and safe, don't apply to particular groups of people - we can catch them, and maybe, just maybe, we will h

Agreed. I mean, to me, it seems that the management tier level of people like what you described, are the people funding and marketing AI to the world. They want to maintain their status and position in the world, while lowering the value o
