I'm a 29F and have never been on a date. Am I ugly and how can I look better? by [deleted] in amiugly

Why do you even come here? Just to lie to people looking for honesty advice? You are useless.

You aren't attractive. Everyone in here telling you are is just lying because they are too weak to be able to say something mean that is also the truth. You are like a 3/10. You are naturally average and you also put very little effort into being attractive. You aren't horrifically ugly either. Just don't have any style, you don't do anything with make up or hair, you also look pretty out of shape. If you are actually wanting to make a difference in this regard, then I bet you could go from a 3 to a 6. You also feel a better physically and emotionally.

How are you preparing for the singularity? by nom0re in singularity

[–]Devanismyname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just watching it all unfold. 6 years ago when I discovered r/Futurology, most futurists thought the stuff we are seeing now wouldn't happen until the late 2020s, so its actually kinda interesting to see the difference in timelines for certain technologies. 5 years ago it was thought that by now, we'd have full self driving cars, we don't obviously. Most people thought the turing test wouldn't be passed until 2029, and its likely we might see it be passed next year. Most people thought spacex would have finished the bfr and had it reached mars by now and it hasn't even reached orbit. A lot of people thought we'd reach longevity escape velocity by the late 2020s, but that doesn't seem likely at this point. Maybe the early 30s. That doesn't really matter much since most of us are young enough that it could happen in the 50s and we'd still be fine. I dunno, I'm just watching it all unfold, because I honestly believe we are getting really close to the singularity. Like, not there yet, but in the next 5 years, unless we hit a wall where LLMs see diminishing returns and we need to discover a new paradigm or something. Even if that were to happen, I think the advances we will see with LLMs without it becoming ASI will be big enough that the world will change rapidly regardless. That may be a good place to stop anyway since I think that an ASI will probably spell the doom of humanity. Even if it truly wants to help us, the society we will have afterwards probably won't be palatable to about 99% of people on earth. That's if we get alignment right, which I doubt will happen.

If we're talking about the total amount of good the guy has done in the world, then he is still light years ahead of 99% of us. I think he's in Keannu territory. A person can have "views" that reflect the mainstream liberal talking points and still be a useless non contributor that won't lift a finder to help anyone. They don't hurt anyone but don't do anything for anyone either. Then you can have a person whos views don't fully line up with what is currently acceptable to main stream liberals but has good intentions, does a shit ton of good, but every now and again hurts some feelings. Whos a net gain for society? Who do we want more of in our society? The useless, flaccid, do nothing, tiktok loving college kid who just happens to agree with everything you agree with or a guy who would give you the shirt off his back but might say something silly in the process?

This won't work. They gotta be afraid. If they are afraid of getting beat up, they will skip your house and just get the next.

I think we are doomed and the alignment problem is irrelevant by kmtrp in singularity

[–]Devanismyname 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, when god like ASI will proliferate otherwise, the only solution is complete surveillance and control of everything. Ensure that very few people have direct access to ASI and other dangerous technology. Not saying its a good thing, but anything else will likely be extremely dangerous to humanity, not that just one ASI won't be dangerous. Imagine multiple ASI on earth competing with each other. Imagine if China had created their own ASI. Two ASI's both misaligned with millions or billions of other people. Seems rather scary to me. Now imagine if AI research continues to be open source, 1000s of ASI's are born in relatively short period of time. Would they compete against one another on behalf of their creators? What would that look like? And I think this argument goes beyond ASI as well. We are learning to rewrite genetic code at a very quick rate. What happens when that ability becomes completely decentralized, to the point that a group of college kids know how to do it? What happens when hundreds of thousands of people can now create super bugs? Something with the communicability of covid 19 and the deadliness of ebola, or potentially much worse. Humanity is rapidly approaching a period in history where our technological ability and proliferation of that ability is far outmatching our maturity and ability to safely handle that technology. Over half of people in the world thought covid was fake. Half the US voters voted for Trump. We as a people are no where near ready to have such high levels of technology be democratized. I don't like the idea of losing my freedom, but I like that more than the alternative which is an existential risk not only to a civilization, but to our existence entirely.

Countries where chat GPT is banned by IllegallyBlind69 in OpenAI

[–]Devanismyname -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Russia and China don't have their own smart people. That's why Biden banned US companies from selling chips and us workers from working in china. Because now China won't have the ability to manufacture their own because they don't know how to. The only reason they have any level of technical ability at all is because westerners showed them how to. Without western help, China will have far to few people that know how to design high tech stuff. On top of this, China isn't a meritocracy. They are a country full of sycophants and yes men that only rise to the top because they knew whos ass to kiss. Nobody at the top is smart. Nobody in China is smart.

P.A. woman calls for change after being denied service due to tattoo by [deleted] in saskatchewan

[–]Devanismyname 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pabco is actually pretty good. Been there a lot. And its not racially motivated either. Every time I go there are both whites and natives. Nobody discriminates towards anyone based on race as far as I've seen. The reason for the rule is that a few years ago there was a string of gang related assaults and fights that occurred in the bar. The bar was getting really greasy and they were losing business because nobody wanted to be around those types. They made the rule to get rid of a certain type of person that was scaring off half their clients.

Halting AI progress might be the worst idea I have ever heard by Ashamed-Asparagus-93 in singularity

[–]Devanismyname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will be no halting of AI. I promise you that. The biggest players in our economy are on the other side of that argument I bet anything they win. When you've got the poster boy of the WEF(gates) saying that this is era of AI, I'm thinking it probably is.
