I think he believes what he’s saying. From his perspective AGI will be great, and a lot of people think that AI and quantum computing will have a feedback loop where AI will help us create a better quantum computer which will make a better AI and so on…

Down here in the filth though, we’re going to go through mass unemployment, rapid shifts in markets, loss of privacy due to increasingly sophisticated AI powered surveillance, and complete loss of our freedom of speech.

So, all that stuff probably will happen to people like him. Just not us.

It was very useful, so they turned it off.

Don’t give governments any more ideas.

The single use case I can think of are isometric games.

Alright you crazy bastards. Go and make this a thing.

I know. It’s just rude.

Good

“Albanese said Australia had traded nothing with China for Cheng’s release.”

I’m pleasantly surprised, but this also could be a lie. I’m glad she’s out. There’s no justifiable reason it took 3 years.

I think it’s tribalism. On one hand it’s important to feel like you’re part of a group of peers and it’s good to help the tribe so that the tribe helps you.

But what a “tribe” is, is different for different people. And often it leads to the “us vs them”.

I grew up in Russia. I’m all for “Slavic brotherhood”. I think that we should all help each other and celebrate our shared cultures!

But unfortunately too many people think that to support their “people” they need to support their government. I live in the US and same thing happens here. People think that to be a patriot you need to be obedient.

I wish we could decouple those concepts. You can love a country for what it represents to you, but hate what it’s been turned into.

Propaganda induced brain damage.

Oh yeah, I can’t try it because it’s Facebook. It’s just funny how cool and fun these AI tools are in the first month of release before people try to censor them and make them useless.

Sounds awesome.

I know right? These people are so keen to defend a system that operates them.

Paywall

I hope no one honks a horn.

An even more depressing number of people believes that the protest didn’t happen.

Maybe.

I guess it’s good that the US exists.

Nope you didn’t do anything wrong.
