The internet should have been nationalized under the purview of national postal services globally with private options through telecoms.

Maybe it’s not too late?

He has made China, Canada and Europe greater.

Elon’s gunna be so fuckin’ jealous when he sees this.

I do think the vast majority of users see things like copliot all over the OS, and then watch their PC run like shit, and assume it’s the new fandagled thing ruining their experience regardless of whether they care about AI or not.

*next CEO is an AI scapegoat

“we will see RPGs with NPCs you can actually chat with, which remain in-character, and respond to what you do”

True, I think that’s an actual advancement that will genuinely improve the experience. If we’re ever going to get something like a holodeck it will take a clever combination of current and theoretical techniques, and generative ai will likely be a very big part of that.

Which kind of illustrates the fundamental flaw right? Videogame companies have spent decades creating replayable DnD esc experiences that are far more memory efficient and cost effective. They already kind of do it the best way. AI can assist, and things like the machine learning behind the behaviors of the NPCs in Arc Raiders for example is very cool, but as you said, you need a custom program… which is what a video game is, so I guess my point is I don’t see the appeal in re-inventing it through sort of automated reverse engineering.

The gig was up for me when I tried to get it to play dungeon master in a game of DnD. It would start out great, but eventually it would forget what we were doing and instead of giving me choices it started just telling me the story of me playing dnd and it would stop giving me options. This would happen about 6 minutes into playing, or 3 or 4 “turns”, and that’s when I realized the incredible memory sync it is if it can’t reference instructions given moments ago. A newer model won’t fix that.

At the end of the day it’s complex predictive text that amounts to a Rorschach test.

lol whoops

As funny as these jokes are, people really aren’t catching what he’s up to:

Thiel sees Christianity as a threat to his goals and ambitions, so he’s trying to re-code it. His angle is that “Anti-Christianity” is being “anti-AI”; that’s his whole angel and it’s dumb af, but he’s trying to get ahead of the narrative that’s ripe for the picking of calling AI the next TOWER of BABEL or some sort of false god, which it is much closer to in actuality. Anti-AI sentiment (which I’m all for, from a completely secular pov) has the potential to merge with and fuel religious sentiment into the future, so he’s trying to get ahead of it, and naturally, he’s also trying to get Christianity’s resources on board with his agenda. Not to mention the threat of Jesus’ inherently socialist/anti-wealth message. Basically, he’s hyper aware that he and the rest of the ruling class are essentially the antithesis of Christ, so he’s trying to change people’s impression of Christianity… which is remarkably anti-Christ…

The thing is, the hallucinating, dehydrated, beached, caveman prisoner that wrote the book of revelations wasn’t pulling from nothing, he was just confusing his fever dream social commentary with divine insight… I guess…?

History rhymes, and it’s full of anti-christs.

The world is run by lucky morons.

X is for nazi pedos

I only have facebook still because my older relatives use it to communicate a lot, otherwise I’d never touch it again.

Big fat Canadian yawn

Can’t even find real women to spread their hate. Anyone who spreads this shit is too ugly inside and out, so they need this paranoid android.

Maybe this is what gets us to fighting in giant mechs? Gotta look on the bright side.

That Palantir psycho’s image just flashed before me.

Fuck Putin, and Trump. The middle powers need to do more to help Ukraine.

Fair

Are we sure “failed to stop it” is the correct framing?

There’s always the possibility that our brains filter out aspects of reality for the sake of our sanity, or for some other unknown reason, and that these drugs lift the filter, so to speak, which is also proven to be true to a degree, like how shrooms sort of break down established beliefs/definitions and understanding, and I suspect that phenomenon is probably being misconstrued or inaccurately extrapolated on to assume the filter is about seeing something extrinsic about reality and not just revealing the internal processes of our minds.

Okay, but again, the question remains: how much of that is power of suggestion and priming/expectation?
