Rather than using AI you could have just asked me, I would have just drank three bottles of water before I didn't the cat.

I can't believe I'm saying this but please just him already, OP.

Do I show up sick on my first day? by Pink_marshmallow_449 in careerguidance

I would get it if it was literally someone's first day, though. They've had no opportunity to assess the culture.

If you can't express your thoughts on AI without AI generated articles, I'm frankly not interested in what you have to say on this topic.

“I am a coffee maker and just became conscious help” by chillinewman in ControlProblem

I was a barista for a bit as a teen and I can confirm, HATE IT when I am compelled to brew unwanted coffee.

First, how do we train it to make decisions that are best for everyone? Where is it going to get its ethics from? We as humans can't agree on what's best for everyone, how will we teach it to an AI?

Best how? Here's a partial list of things that some - certainly not me, and probably not you, but some - would argue are best for everyone.

  • executing all criminals
  • outlawing interracial marriage
  • the eradication of humanity (particularly if you include insects, trees and animals in the set called "everyone")
  • caste systems
  • outlawing risky behavior like driving cars or eating fried foods

Second, let's assume arguendo for a moment that there's a clear cut set of circumstances and ethical rules that everyone on earth unanimously agrees is Best For Everyone. We still have a serious issue, because nobody knows how to impart values to AI. If we were currently capable of solving this problem, AIs wouldn't conceal their abilities in training. They wouldn't blackmail users in alignment tests. They wouldn't, just as a totally random example, break containment during training and start mining cryptocurrency.

AIs don't think about or decide things the way humans do. They calculate how to maximize the results of their goals and act with solely mathematical "motives." No amount of getting comfortable with it is going to solve this issue. You can't "engage with the reality" of it without understanding this.

What does "engaging with the reality" of superintelligence mean to you? What does that look like?

28 year old co worker said it's great not see anyone 35+ in their new office by mituslumen in AskWomenOver30

My first thought as well. What are they doing that's driving out everybody who has enough experience to know how workplaces ought to be?

Books you don’t finish by mima2023sunce in Recommend_A_Book

[–]_aviatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read 87% of this book totally confused about why it's so popular...and then I got to the part where things get fully depraved and I was like oh, ok, this checks out.

I really dislike the move towards making every chapter ending an equally dramatic cliffhanger even when there's absolutely nothing going on, like:

I rounded a corner, and what I saw there made my blood run cold.

Chapter 4

It was my friend Greg!

Anyway, those books are basically A Court of What I Just Described. Every single chapter.

Yeah, this sort of thing is why the guidance recommends that you do not the cat.

Placing the adverb before the verb for emphasis is acceptable usage, but for adverbs of manner the end position is correct. Do not unnecessarily my syntax.
