Yeah pretty dumb to talk about the future in the present tense imo

I can’t imagine having so little empathy that you can’t put yourself in the shoes of the creator of the IP. They didn’t even bother to tweak the characters. It’s not “inspired by” or riffing on a theme, it’s a straight ripoff being used to

They’re literally reusing IP from The Office. It’s clearly not parody, and they directly reference the show. It’s one thing for a joke project to do that. They are attempting to profit off someone else’s creative work. And not even in the r

The problem is talking about it like a foregone conclusion. You have already accepted he is going to run and are ready to convince the rest of America that he will be on the ballot. You are doing their job for them. The compromise is that c

You keep saying it and it’ll happen. Stop saying it. You give credence to the idea by speaking it into existence. Stop believing and repeating their bullshit and letting them win. If he tries, some states will keep him off the ballot and

American imperialism is well documented. We have military outposts all over the world. Puerto Rico is still in essence a colony. > When America collapses it will definitely lead to societal collapse. The racial tensions are kept under co

The simple answer is we need constitutional reform. Term limits on SCOTUS, codification of norms (eg releasing presidential candidate tax returns, not blocking appointee confirmations indefinitely to steal the position for the next admin),

Moving on from being a unipolar power does not necessitate societal collapse. The UK is still around and their empire fell a long time ago. > If you want to Speedrun the collapse, vote for trump. This nonsense needs to stop. You can’t vo

> Our current hypothesis, is that the models will reach (and have already arguably come very close) a level where problems like these can be resolved without any human intervention needed. Frankly I don’t think this is that relevant. Whe

I’ll say it: this sounds like it would be absolute hell for customer support. “Special” clients are already tough to manage with weird little workarounds and random business requirements. If you let them start making changes themselves, the

Right… by “There should be” I meant there should be federal legislation on these kinds of tools and actual enforcement. Flock’s not going to do anything that could hurt their bottom line without being forced to.

And schools must be great honeypots to find mass shooters too, huh. It’s not a honeypot if it’s real data
134.
by mcmcmc 2mo ago
There should really be platform bans for abuses like this. If Flock is aware it’s being abused against its own policies and the legal system they should be liable if they continue to let that person abuse the system, even if they get fired

Or, the hard to catch mistakes were always there, and now we focus on them instead of the obvious ones that have been eliminated.

They will always be wrong sometimes, but it’s becoming less wrong and wrong less often. Everyone will have their own opinion on “good enough”, but if you expect perfection you are bound for disappointment. No need for that when random chanc

If you’re talking about J6, they broke into Congress armed with guns and zip ties and killed a Capitol police officer. They had an effigy of the Vice President strung up on a gallows. A violent raid is not a protest. It’s domestic terrorism

How many from a direct link without a tracker? That’s usually how I use it for search, get the answer, find the sources and copy the link to a new tab

If how they’ve handled Gmail abuse is any indicator, they’re not likely to do anything. They’re still getting paid for the server time

I think a more effective way of enforcing the licensing would be adding a cyber insurance requirement to sell software or internet services commercially to some threshold of users. Insurers could give a prime rate to licensed developers an

I hope not. That will just encourage more lawfare and market consolidation instead of competition and innovation

Doesn’t even have to be a certain level of intelligence, just have those user inputs fed into the training data. We’ve already seen AI encouraging people in psychotic episodes to act out their delusions. There’s a good chance some of that m

Seems you’ve rustled some jimmies. I’ve always thought effective altruism was a nice way to rationalize insatiable greed.

The one AI customer support experience I’ve actually enjoyed was last winter in a cold snap when my pipes froze. Drove to a Walmart to find a space heater and of course they were sold out. Called my local Lowe’s, got an AI agent, asked if a
