Haven't we? Our evolutionary experience with deception and manipulation via language is as old as language itself and even older than that when the vector isn't language. Even so, a sucker is born every day.

Easy, the problem was never writing code. The problem is and always has been finishing the job and shipping it and driving user adoption. AI has done nothing to help that part and so the rate of released and successfully marketed apps stays

Well, we did have a term for it until it got dragged and sensationalized in the media. I'd tell you that's a standard "psyop" that the propaganda arm of the government often uses against communities and subcultures that

There are going to be some incredible blow ups due to this. From the sound of it people think they're safe by running it with local models and keeping it on their own network but seem to have zero concept of a malicious text prompt fin

The way I've heard people describe it, they seem to be impressed by being able to treat it as an assistant that they can tell to do something and it just figures out how to do it and delivers the result back to them. My guess is it&#x2

I don't see how this is possible with the use of the state or not. I mean, I can throw out some ridiculous sci-fi ideas like geo-engineering and megaprojects that give every region the perfect balance of temperate seasons, agricultural

The analogy is pretty apt but you should keep in mind that a human is still doing work when driving a motor vehicle. The motor completely replaces the muscular effort needed to move from point A to point B but it requires the person to beco

Maybe you meant 1900s to 2000s but if you meant the year 1900 to the year 2000 then that century of difference saw a lot more innovation than just the "candle to lightbulb" change of 1800 to 1900. I'll interpret it as meaning
