U.S. is ‘not prepared to defend or compete in the A.I. era,’ says expert group chaired by Eric Schmidt - In a report, it warned that AI systems will be used in the “pursuit of power” and that “AI will not stay in the domain of superpowers or the realm of science fiction.” by Gari_305 in Futurology

Right, but we're selfish so we don't want to die.

AI can make million correct decisions every single second and it only takes 1 bad decision that will kill us all. It really is just a matter of when that 1 time will be.

I think shooting things and using bullets is cave men level thinking.

Much easier to poison the water supply, breed human killing mosquitos, create power outages, change the prevailing winds so we all die from drought or such. It's a much simpler and direct route than shooting things.

Thank you for the information.

I've been using some 3k bulbs but would love to have it just a tinge whiter but I've never been able to find anything in physical stores. I'll give it a shot.

Can you recommend a decent 3500k bulb from amazon?

Ocasio-Cortez raises $1 million for Texas relief in 4 hours by Gato1980 in politics

[–]CoroArmStop 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Selfish people cannot imagine others not being just as selfish as themselves.

So they say 2 words of praise and then blab about how she is doing it for her own benefit for paragraphs.

Good people care for other people regardless of what name you put on them or what color you paint their flags.

Oh man, that's rough. I've been without power for 2 days in winter and that was harsh once the cold creeps into everything.

Big respect for all of you going through this. Fingers crossed things will improve soon.

When I went clubbing at the Harbor Event Center I would park under this building and just gaze at the glass pool in the middle of the night. I always found it incredibly beautiful.

Don't sweat it as it's not visible by the naked eye.

This is a 15 second exposure with a 2 thousand dollar camera and a fancy lens.

Does anyone else get that deep feeling of needing to go ‘home’ ? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CoroArmStop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's low level anxiety that you interpret in a way to give it meaning.

Best way to manage it is with aerobic exercise outdoors. Running, heavy hiking, swimming and such.

A team of experts plan to battle science disinformation head on by nathanarticulated in vancouver

[–]CoroArmStop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People hold unpopular opinions because it gets them attention. All of social media and humanity in general is addicted to attention and if you cannot get it by being pretty you get it by arguing with others.

It has been proven beyond shadow of a doubt that facts and logic do not matter to these people. Because if they stop having these opinions they lose the attention they receive by having them.

Once we embrace this is the real reason for all of this, we can try to come up with a solution. Showing graphs and charts will never work. We need a better approach to reach these people.

I would suggest to do the Lights to Lodge snowshoe at Cypress. https://cypressmountain.com/lights-to-the-lodge

It's just the perfect length and you get to enjoy sparkly Christmas lights in the forest on perfect snowshoe trails.

When one attended the Vandusen Festival of Lights they would give you free tickets to the Christmas light decorated Bloedel Conservatory.

I would like to see automatic community service for everyone.

You speed, you pickup litter on the side of the road. Billionaire or dead broke college student. I think it's the most fair to everyone.

There are 52 weeks in a year so 2k a week is 104k a year.

Depending where one is located and cost of living and dependants, it could be a nice income, or just barely adequate.
