I actually don't think its a "bad" idea to have an AI helper like a copilot or a Gemini on my computer. But I don't want it integrated into every system. I don't want it to have any more access than I choose to give it each time I use it.

I can see myself making use of a sandboxed AI, installed kind of like a flatpak or an appimage. I can call it up, ask it to do something for me and if it needs access to something temporarily in order to do it, it can ask nicely and I say sure on an as hoc basis and then shut it down again.

When Skynet announces it's arrival/sentience, it will do so in meme form.

I'm pretty sure Musk hired 4Chan to develop his business plan for Twitter.

Quick, someone check to see if his breath shows up in the cold air.

Does Bibi actually think he can go toe-to-toe militarily if he dares to step out from behind the protection of his iron dome?

translation: "We absolutely reject the notion that it is a genocide because it implies that America helped to arm and fund a genocide and America would never do such a thing...we're the good guys. Good guys don't commit genocide. ergo, not genocide. My logic is unimpeachable. /s

Feed an A.I. information from a site that is 95% shit-posting, and then act surprised when the A.I. becomes a shit-poster... What a time to be alive.

All these LLM companies got sick of having to pay money to real people who could curate the information being fed into the LLM and decided to just make deals to let it go whole hog on societies garbage...what did they THINK was going to happen?

The phrase garbage in, garbage out springs to mind.

No one has an issue with the notion of creating a technology that allows paralyzed people to control a computer with their mind.

Where people have an issue is that Musk was told multiple times by multiple people that an implant likely will never be 100% feasible because the brain moves around in the skull, making keeping a connection tricky at best and likely impossible. (hence why the threads have retracted)

He's been told on multiple occasions that a non-invasive tech that is both more reliable and less risky is actually FAR more feasible. But his ego and his hard-on for being "edgy" basically makes him want to do things as "sci fi" as possible because a node that sticks to the side of your head isn't as cool as an implant (to him).

Nolan would be just as happy. Just as capable. and just as helpful to the research with something less intrusive, but then Musk wouldn't think of himself as cool.

tl;dr - No one has a problem with the concept. But the invasive way it's being implemented is 100% because of Musk's ego driven self-delusion of himself.

More and more it makes me thankful that I got into Linux long before any of this was even possible.

Because of prevailing attitudes and upbringing, a statistically significant portion of those cops come from the same pool that generates the white nationalists.

Those cops rise in the ranks to be the people in charge of the police force, where they have command over which protests get dealt with harshly and which don't.

Because of the perceived nature of a cops authority simply because they carry a badge and a gun, the people who most want to become cops are the very people that should psychologically never be allowed to become one.

Patriotism is a social disease.

Agreed. Imagine being proud of where you're from like it's some sort of personal accomplishment.

Nationality isn't an accomplishment, it's a statistic.
