Good on them. Put those theories to the test! As long as they pay for it, I don’t care if it takes an orbital ride or a trip to find the great wall of ice. This is oddly truer science than one would expect.

If you are aware of any human-eating machines IRL, you should probably give some more specifics and let people know. :)

…and when machines read these summaries, we now have a new plot for AI apocalyse sci-fi.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 1 month ago:
Not even on the table whole inflationary spending is allowed. Maximum currency issuance first, then lets talk. Otherwise you just have a time bomb.

It took me a while, but I [over-]think I get it now… since the sheet is transparent, we can see that the ghost is not wearing a bra.

That watch stands out so much, it looks photoshopped, or like one of those in-media purchasables.

Wonder if a convenient wall mount would even be worth it, isn’t a golf ball sized pellet enough for a lifetime of consumer usage or something?

I’m sorry it troubles your mind so much that you had to make a post about it.
- Comment on pisspost 3 months ago:
This reminds me of my old phone. I downloaded a podcast on it that had a shock-opener and for some reason was always “the next thing” the sound/music player wanted to play. So many times, by accidental touch inputs or clicking the headphone button, or the like, my phone would randomly scream: "WHO DOESN’T LIKE TO PEE IN THE SINK!?!?!”
- Comment on As a non-techie, where/how can I find out if software is safe? 3 months ago:
Both practically and theoretically, it might be impossible. It basically comes down to trusting trust. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ7lOus1FzQ
- Comment on Why AI Can Push You to Make the Wrong Decision at Work 3 months ago:
To assume that a GPT is right is to assume everything on the internet is right, as from that it arose.
- Comment on Can i safely turn the power on on this open outlet? if not, how do i solve this? 3 months ago:
I assume that is the intended purpose of the wago connector over the hot line.
- Comment on Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence? 3 months ago:
I’m not talking about one-offs and the assessment noise floor, more like: “ChatGPT broke the Turing test” (as is claimed). It used to be something we tried to attain, and now we don’t even bother trying to make GPT seem human… we actually train them to say otherwise lest people forget. We figuratively pole-vaulted over the turing test and are now on the other side of it, as if it was a point on a timeline instead of an academic procedure.
- Comment on Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence? 3 months ago:
The natural general hype is not new… I even see it in 1970’s scifi. It’s like once something pierced the long-thought-impossible turing test, decades of hype pressure suddenly and freely flowed.
There is also an unnatural hype (that with one breakthrough will come another) and that the next one might yield a technocratic singularity to the first-mover: money, market dominance, and control.
Which brings the tertiary effect (closer to your question)… companies are so quickly and blindly eating so many billions of dollars of first-mover costs that the corporate copium wants to believe there will be a return (or at least cost defrayal)… so you get a bunch of shitty AI products, and pressure towards them.
