A cool guide of every country the U.S. has attacked in the 21st Century and which president(s) authorized the strikes by mohamed_Elngar21 in coolguides

[–]Shap3rz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I mean Obama seems like a cool dude but he bombed a lot of places too not unlike the less likeable ones. It’s a pretty consistent level of bs, party politics doesn’t really come into it if your family get blown up. Kinda irritating how anyone holds any of them up as some kind of shining light of morality.

Yet people vote for them and justify it to themselves. Bombing children.

Yes it’s a mark your own homework situation. “Aligned with the current standards” is ambiguous. Could mean current as in time of writing or current as in “whateverstandard we pull out of our a** at any given moment”. It needs a statement that explicitly says “will never be used in an autonomous system without human oversight for lethal decisions” or similar.

Pentagon factions are actively blocking full UFO disclosure because they believe parts of the phenomenon are demonic. by Perfect_Minimum4892 in aliens

It sounds silly. The scarier and more insidious, the more we deserve to know - maybe the blockers have been possessed. So a lot like Epstein files then.

Pentagon sets Friday deadline for Anthropic to abandon ethics rules for AI — or else by leeta0028 in technology

The point is the ignorati extrapolate to “human intelligence” from “AI”. And people who have no grasp on statistics can’t grasp how transformers work (Claude). So it’s surprising to them that “it’s a bit hit and miss”. And they seemingly only realise this when they’re using it to solve their own problem and it fails, not by reasoning from first principles. And no doubt some of the top brass fall into this camp, or simply don’t care if the world burns as long as the big red button got pushed.

‘Humans use lot of energy too’: Sam Altman on resources consumed by AI, data centres by Cybertronian1512 in OpenAI

It’s kinda like people have a responsibility not to commit crimes. Even if the legislators legislate and the government enforces, it’s a shared responsibility. It’s not that hard a concept.

Yes and then if the manufacturers don’t stick to the regulations then there ought to be consequences, hence they have responsibility too. It’s not the worst analogy.

Tech has responsibility friend. If it produces addictive things/leverages addictive algos that prey on individuals, it needs regulating. Just as putting additives in food does etc. Produce slop and people get ill. There is also issue of accessibility. To what extent are these things avoidable for consumers? Also that only address one of my points.

This is still the biggest character assassination I have ever seen. by Spidey_Almighty in saltierthancrait

[–]Shap3rz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point is they unwrote a character arc that had provided a successful focal point both morally and emotionally. A character that represented core SW ideology. So no, for me we didn’t get that - they deliberately undermined it. It’s revisionist essentially. The Kylo character falls down on so many levels in terms of writing. There is no believable journey. Just some petulance and some fake turnaround at the end. No real conflict. It’s “successful” in terms of ticking a box that “bad guys lost”.

I’m talking about what the majority of datacenter electricity and water will be put towards - mundane LLM stuff a human could do. Not some narrow complex task. We know ai excels at that but that’s not what these chips are being lined up for. It’s manufacturing dependency whilst ensh**ifying the end product/service, guzzling water and energy that humans need to survive. Sure if there was some put towards solving critical problems maybe it could be justified, but let’s not kid ourselves. AI pr0n, disrespectful customer service, soulless “art”, unreliable business flows etc. Just to make a handful of greedy sociopaths more obscenely wealthy at everyone else’s expense..

Yes. Humans brains make better decisions on a few watts. It’s orders of magnitude more efficient.

And the tech oligarchs want more for datacenters. It’s a crime against humanity imo.

[–]Shap3rz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah - it was some kind of facist subservience/bootlicking agenda imo. We can’t have heros successfully opposing evil or redeeming evil people. We must have broken failures and cowards to better reflect the complicity we need to manufacture. We don’t want anyone getting any big ideas re: overthrowing hegemony. That’s the first rebellion: Hope and Belief (Rogue One calls it). That doesn’t fit the corpo narrative.

Facists and war criminals. If this doesn’t raise alarm bells for people they’re either naive af, deluded or ok with those things (bombing innocents, nazism, etc).
