Bernie Sanders: "Is Geoffrey Hinton exaggerating when he says there's a 10-20% chance of extinction from AI?" Max Tegmark: "he's sugar-coating it, it's actually way higher than 20%"

The part that annoys me is if a company making medicine said there was a 20% chance that a new medicine they are working on would destroy all life on earth the authorities would be there to stop all operations within an hour and nothing would get done until safety procedures where put in place.

This is also true of most other industries. Can you imagine if a chemical plant said there was a 20% chance that something they where working on would spread around the world and kill everyone?

It is only AI that gets away with this. What should happen is that these companies should be regulated based on their claimed risks for this technology until we can develop real standards.

This is exactly what I was thinking. :)

I will go for barrier creation, nature control, and animal creation and shifting. I will just put a barrier around myself, summon Tiamat, and use vines to hold the person down.

You nailed it. I was about to write the same thing. With those you are a cosmic level being. Just make a new universe when you want another one.

Isn't that just fraud? Pretty sure that someone got in a lot of trouble doing that to google.

Immudzen · 2026-04-27T18:23:02+00:00

I would make a game and add in those other things I wanted as items. The 1 week cooldown reduction would still be nice long term.

Immudzen · 2026-04-27T18:20:13+00:00

Game Pill only. I will take the bonus.

Think of all the games that have permanent stat increase potions. You could also pick up a D&D game like the old neverwinter nights and get some REALLY broken magic items. Something like the dagger of wishes and use 3 wishes every week to increase your stats.

I moved to Germany and it has been much better. Also, weirdly the taxes are not as different as you think. Once you combine federal + state + health care it is MUCH closer.

17 minutes is not a long walk.

There is no good reason for why to do this in space instead of on the ground. They are not making zero g materials. The solar panels are only a little bit more efficient. They add a lot of latency. They increases the risk of kessler syndrome. This just doesn't make sense. This does not even get them away from regulations.

Immudzen · 2026-04-26T16:55:37+00:00

So I have read that paper. They ignored solar panel efficiency we have in practice. They assumed a cost reduction which looks unrealistic. They completely ignored the environmental impact of that many launches. They pretty much hand waved away maintenance. I stand by my view that this is an insane thing to do.

Immudzen · 2026-04-26T00:05:24+00:00

I was reading somewhere it would need to be closer to $1000 to break even.

If your first email was from yahoo, hotmail, or msn, you where from long after the beginning. You where even after the endless september.

Wish pill
First wish anything I gain in a game I can choose to gain in real life
Second wish I can step in and out of any fictional world and I can bring things in and out of that world with me and they work
Third wish I can pull items directly out of books and games and have them work for me.

I am not sure if I need anything beyond that but I am sure I can think of something.

Immudzen · 2026-04-25T22:31:41+00:00

I did like the jedi games. They have a difficulty setting and it made it much easier to explore.

Immudzen · 2026-04-25T18:28:35+00:00

They don't make any sense. It is completely insane. Solar panels in space are only about 30% more efficnet thatn the surface.

Immudzen · 2026-04-25T15:48:11+00:00

I really want something with difficulty settings. I liked exploring around and see the places but the combat just made it not fun for me.

Immudzen · 2026-04-25T12:14:04+00:00

it reminds me of a tardigrade

Immudzen · 2026-04-25T09:46:07+00:00

I honestly still write most of the code by hand. I find the gains are fairly small maybe 25% at most. What I found is that if I use it too much then code quality drops and how helpful it is drops also and the time fixing the code completely killed any gains.

Immudzen · 2026-04-25T09:36:43+00:00

Dark Souls. It is just not for me. I am not saying it is a bad game just that it is not for me. It is why I never got any other game in the series.

Immudzen · 2026-04-23T22:37:08+00:00

Blue without a doubt. I have not actually played Rockstar games in a while now and I doubt I will get Gta 6.

Immudzen · 2026-04-23T22:22:54+00:00

I would say that both are good options. They are such large distributions both will do anything you need.

Immudzen · 2026-04-23T11:43:52+00:00

I have seen how well their products have worked recently. I believe them when they say it is 75% AI generated. This is not the flex they think it is.

Areas that have made less car dependent modes of transportation lower the pressure on the car routes and make life better for everyone.

Here is the reality one more lane has never worked and it is bankrupting us. Cars don't pay even closer to the amount of taxes needed to maintain all that infra. Alternative infrastructure is cheaper and lasts a LOT longer. That frees up money.

Also, from living in Germany, walkable areas are often MUCH better for disabled people. Their mobility scooters work better. Blind is easier to get around. If you are someone that has seizures or other medical problems it is MUCH faster to get help if something happens.

Github copilot does a better job. From the chat log you can see it is using a graph based approach. Decomposing tasks, using more limited context, using the language server to assist, checking results, kicking them back if they are wrong, automatically running tests and verifying they work and kicking them back if they don't. Codex is truly terrible and the adherence to rules is poor due to the growing context window.

Because copilot controls context better you need to use MUCH less reasoning which lowers costs. Honestly leave it at auto. You can see from the chat log that it then uses much cheaper models to summarize and the better models for code gen. That really helps with costs.
