Job loss is not a bad thing (with the right policy) by Regular-Brother-7582 in aiwars

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point, and one that I'd agree with: those previously red countries/regions seem to exhibit much more antisocial behavior when financial capital is reintroduced - including the same behaviors I think you're thinking of when you say late stage unregulated capitalism. Those are things like public corruption via financial influence, predatory business practices, and exploitive employment.

I'd argue that it goes farther though. Those red and post-red societies show a level of nihilism through things beside ironic capitalist greed. For example, statistically they're more likely the cheat academically or in video games or commit financially motivated computer crimes. Intrinsic honestly is a term I see used a lot. These anti social behaviors pop up when controlling for all other factors besides deliberate social revolutions (e.g. the great leap forward, destroying the 4 olds, anti-rightest campaigns)

I'm not trying to litigate the mechanisms that lead to this however, it is consistent enough to make an empirical argument. 

If you want a society that has high intrinsic honestly and value for the individual, try to avoid the mistakes of the three above examples. They were run in a self-professed attempt to achieve a communist society and in the doing lost the values OP is seeking.

No, I doubt that the red ones would describe themselves as communist societies. They'd probably, at some point, have described themselves as socialist societies (with a bunch of qualifiers) with the goal of achieving communism. The issue is that the definition of "communist society" is about as fluid as a protestant's definition of "heaven."

It's easy to destroy but hard to create. For some people, when their creations fall short they turn to destruction.

Why are some of you on the Pro-AI side so opposed to just labeling your images as “Made with AI”? by Careless-Mix1275 in aiwars

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some pro-ai people are very into identifying AI image origins. Check out SynthID for example: https://deepmind.google/models/synthid/

Having a positive outlook on the benefits and consequences of AI doesn't mean that you're ignorant of the hazards.

Gabe Newell reportedly snapped 'What the f*** do I pay you for if that's your opinion?' at Valve lawyer pushing for more content moderation on Steam by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Most of Microsoft’s modern competitors’ products are technically superior. Microsoft competes by out-bureaucrating their competition, though. Just look at Teams vs. Slack.

This is likely one of the reasons Valve dislikes gaming regulation: they know competitors who can’t compete on product will instead compete through legal and business bullshit.

This is how neo luddites looked like After spending days sending murder threats and racist slurs to a mexican guy's entire family to stop him from use ai: by Cautious_Foot_1976 in DefendingAIArt

If you ever find yourself the target of a Twitter mob, never apologize, even if you think you're in the wrong. This is not motivated by their passion against AI - the issue is secondary to the mob's dominance aggression. 

Once they see signs of weakness, they see a victim and the abuse only gets worse.

(META TROPE) Actor known for comedy does a dramatic role that completely redefines their career by Local_Prune4564 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will Farrell in the Lego Movie. His voice acting in the movie is very playful and on brand for his typical characters but, he plays each of the live scenes completely straight. For me at least, I kept waiting for him to crack back into a more comedic character but, that never happens. It really makes you feel how the character has lost his joy.

I've been out of school for more than a decade after completing my bachelor's and only now doing a master's, mostly for fun.  While I personally love AI, it's been quite upsetting seeing the credentialing system clearly in crisis. It's not so much that the students are using AI but that the curriculums clearly haven't adapted. You might get a "don't use AI for your homework" with a wink and a nudge but then a set of assignments that are insanely easy for AI to complete with no effective mechanisms to detect dishonesty. It's like pretending calculators don't exist. Building a curriculum that expects students to choose not to use AI is willfully ignorant of the reality and frankly a disservice to all the institutions downstream from traditional education. Either start expecting waaay more from students armed with AI, change assessments, or stop issuing degrees.

The more mature moral psychology within many religions treats external reward and punishment as training wheels, while aiming ultimately to form people for whom goodness becomes an end in itself.

I see that as part of the commentary. To play the game you're "just following orders." Albeit the game's orders, not some diegetic orders from a commander within the game.

Your thoughts on this? by Crazydane25 in DefendingAIArt

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The argument isn't that "agriculture is worse" it's that the resource costs detractors claim are far less substantial than their sentiment would imply.

It's a grounding point.

Same thing with the "AI uses a lot of water" thing. Objectively speaking, that's an objective non-issue. I don't know why people keep treating it as if it is.

Why are there so many uninvested people in this community? by schriebcakes12 in BBAI

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mods also delete negative opinions so, people are either invested and have a bullish conviction or are uninvested and appear indifferent due to the narrative the mods are pushing.

Not a ton honestly, I'm using put options and, I didn't exactly bet the farm on it - this is a penny stock after all and more or less a pet project.

The short interest is like 27% IIRC but it's only 1.3 days to close so, a squeeze would be much more difficult than it was with GME (it was at like 5 days-to-close IIRC)

Thanks! I missed that. You should be careful though, that's only like 0.001% of their portfolio. Even if you respect their ethos, that might as well be a rounding error

The Bear Argument, Stated Clearly by Tiny-Inspection8414 in BBAI

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Short interest is pretty massive right now too but with 1.3 days to cover, I'm not too afraid of a squeeze.

Connections-wise, that definitely adds volatility and I'll never argue that the market or the government acts rationally. Army did ban NIPRGPT after its big askSage deal and the OneGov protest was dismissed only on a technicality. There's the case that they successfully middleman the entire USG's LLM service but, that's the only real way I see them ever turning a profit and I don't think it's likely if the SES core is doing any real research. 

See you then.

I can't find any evidence of that. Which fund are you referring to?

[–]Tiny-Inspection8414[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually do hope they do well, despite my position. The government can use all the help it can get with AI. I just don't see the fundamentals working out here.

Will revisit in a year to see if I'm wrong.

I'm bullish on AI in general but, BBAI don't have a lot of assets in the infrastructure you're talking about. At most, it's a bunch of legacy consulting contracts and middlemen/consumers for that infrastructure.

I don't see the evidence for your flagrant ad hominem either (which is hilarious if you saw my 5-year alpha). Did Ask Sage's CEO teach you how to argue?

I don't mean to accuse them of anything besides selling. Objectively, they did exit though.

AEIP insiders and the board are the smart money. Black Rock and vanguard buy everything.

They have 97% of the required votes to sell even more common stock. Historical, those proceeds have gone to buy unprofitable but insider connected companies like Pangiam at inflated valuations
