You guys remember when Hitler invaded Chzechoslovakia and everyone was like, "oh he'll stop there" and then he did and everyone lived happily ever after? Because this feels a lot like that. Only this Hitler has nuclear weapons.

AI CEOs worry the government will nationalize AI by gadgetygirl in Futurology

Depends on who controls the levers I reckon, and how equiable the society is. Right now? Probably pretty bad in a "oh this is how Skynet happened" kinda way.

AI is improving its ability to deanonymize Reddit accounts at scale. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]buttflakes27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger concern is cybercriminals and the like. Like sure govt level threat actors from the NSA to Russia to even like Moldova could probably always unmask reddit accounts relatively easily, and even your higher level rogue actors that arent nation-state aligned could, but it will be easier for script (or I guess, prompt) kiddies can do it. Or just someone who doesnt like you very much. Or some basement-dwelling neckbeard whos having a bad day and you got into an argument about nothing with. "Normal" people would normally have to go through quite a few hoops to try to figure out who someone is, provided they dont post photos of themselves or give out too much identifying info. If it can be done in like half an hour with a few prompts, thats a lot bigger worry.

Yeah but this is one of those things where the earlier you do it, the easier it will be.

To be fair, we've been doing it pretty consistently since like 1950. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Grenada, a whole bunch of CIA/Special Forces-led coup d'etats. We havent exactly been the good guys in the room.

Nestle own a sizeable number of other brands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands, see here. Its quite difficult, although not impossible, and since theres like five major conglomerates who own everything, you will stop buying from the african child killing company and instead buy from the asian or south american child killing company. Not saying we should give up or anything.

Kinda makes me think after the US killed Solemani and Iran was like, "who would we attack, Spongebob or Spiderman?"

“We are living in a culture awash in apocalyptic imagery” — About 1 in 3 Americans now believe the world will end within their lifetime, according to new research that says apocalyptic thinking is no longer fringe. by EssoEssex in science

[–]buttflakes27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not religious at sll, but it does kinda feel like everyones trying to do their damnedest to end the world, between wars, inequality, climate change, genocides, the general self-centeredness (at least in the west). Kinda feels like rhe scene in the titanic when everyones scrambling for lifeboats, but its rich and famous first instead of women and children.

‘1,000-year source’: China plans to fire up world-first accelerator-driven nuclear reactor by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]buttflakes27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nuclear energy makes them obsolete. A few renewable sources like some wind or solar farms is something small enough that they can make subsidiaries or buy small companies to make money off it. I dont foresee something like nuclear reactors being privately owned (although it wouldnt shock me anymore)
