  yea, i wouldnt trust any computer that has had that shit installed. The core will likely be compromised and if there is going to be bigger cyberwar at some point, those computers could be used as bots. Though same can be potentially said about any anti-cheat with kernel level access. I probably shouldnt trust even my own computer since I have tarkov installed. I hope it doesnt go there, it would be such bother to actively consider that as a thing, but it should be kept in mind as possibility.

  maybe something akin to hungergames to keep masses under control

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh, that is quite interesting. If its actually doing things (that make sense) it hasnt been instructed to then it could be sign of real intelligence

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but it doesnt do it because it “fears” being shutdown. It does it because people dont know how to use it.

  If you give ai instruction to do something “no matter what” or tell it “nothing else matters” then it will damn try to fulfill what you told it to do no matter what and will try to find ways to do it. You need to be specific about what you want it to do or not do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  give ai instructions, be surprised when it follows them

  zero-k is also like that, less emphasis on the graphics though but more on the gameplay

  opposing world views fighting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if giving the information to the coporations competitor (as anonymously as possible of course) would do anything good? At least you would know if they are secretly in league if the competitor doesnt expose them.

  Also, i think anyone who is in position to do something like this should try to find more like minded people and continue as a group. Even then its dangerous but much less so than alone since there are more people to help. You wouldnt resist enemy occupation alone and expect to live long either.

  wouldnt it just drown with all the insane crap the crackpots spew anyway and become tainted by association with them? But yeah, you definitely shouldnt use your own name and should spread the leak all over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  likely only way this is going to change is if someone starts exploiting the kernel level anticheats and causes noticeable consequences for people who dont care they have it installed. In essence, its just (hopefully) difficult to use rootkit waiting to be used anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh, so that was what it was about. they sure were really quiet about not caring about it in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  its never too late to start resisting something. Though it is too late if no one cares to do anything about it, not even yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo, what your aunt is doing is okay as long as she doesnt start hoarding more and more houses and acts fairly. There is some value in not having to deal with problems that come with owning apartment but uncertainty of the world burns that value away easily. As landlord you have a duty to take care of your tenants and if you cant do that then you shouldnt be allowed to own property like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  doesnt have to be just one, have many. doesnt even have to be tons of people, just 2 trying to actively do things is something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If there is truely no way to avoid violence, then we should stop fucking around. If there is any organized effort going on regarding opposing facism, planet dying, billionaires taking everything its failing quite badly at conveying there is any hope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What i’m trying to do is suggest we should try to find alternatives to where we are eventually going, which is both sides attacking eachother for real.

  And while there is no moral equivalence, there is equivalence between our hate of fascism and their hate of our way of thinking. Do you really want to be the opposite side of same coin?

  Also, i dont see the need to be immidiately so offended and attack me verbally like that. You can point out the mistakes someone has made and offer your own corrections to them and discuss like civilized people. Was everything i said truely so offensive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a very liberal person and I have very liberal children, except for one. I'm pretty sure my Gen Z son has been taken in by fascist doctrine. What can I get him for Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We really need better terms than facist or nazi. People keep confusing the meaning of the words because its all we have for description of these type of people. There might be some overlap, but unless it 100% fits it just creates opportunities for people to be confused and issue to get muddied by pointless arguments and misunderstandings.

  For some time i have thought this type of thoughtset as “dark humanity”, but i’m not sure how fitting term it is and it feels kind of over dramatic. It just feels like humans are kind of split, with some in the middle too. Though i’m also worried that making such clear distinction would also make the separation more solid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  is that party in the pockets of oil companies or are they just insane?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  there are millions being poured into propaganda against using anything but fossil fuels, it all stems from there. But i wonder if its better this way or the alternative way where we would use more nuclear energy but since there would be so much money to be made, the rich would use their money to make all safety regulations null. I wish we could just get rid of the source problem.
