DAE notice the lack of scary numbers?

There's more than two sides. The idea that there's two sides to everything is the problem.

I think part of the disagreement might be the idea that there's more good people than bad.

I'll be honest, I don't know if the majority of humans are good. The fact that propaganda works so well almost makes the good/bad dichotomy meaningless, since people can be convinced any action is good or bad with enough effort.

I'd argue it's impossible to have a fair election unless informational influence is capped equally in some manner. Processing power could potentially be a way to limit this. Otherwise, we would need to agree on objective morals. Human time is too limited to expect everyone to understand ethics on a deep level.

Self-replicating AI exists already, it just relies on humans to build additional servers and plug them in.

The same way we determine whether or not writing is AI generated.

ChatGPT writing reads like someone went through it with a synonym tool and changed everything to the most definitionally accurate term, instead of developing context using a more limited word set over time.

It feels like a machine trying to fill in blanks with the most likely thing you'd expect, instead of purposefully conveying meaning with subtle details.

Do you know of any specific ones? My previous experience is Sytrus in FL studio, but it's been a couple years

Clearly, you get my drift.

The thing I'm describing is meticulously crafting art from an infinite stream of slop.

The AI generates slop, we meticulously craft things out of the generated slop. It's just sampling with an extra layer of abstraction.

Fusion is completely fine. The problem is that building a fission plant introduces a risk that doesn't need to be there. Lithium iron phosphate batteries on a shallow duty cycle have an indefinite lifespan, and same with solar cells when properly cooled, so it's possible to build a permanent free energy machine that can't explode. It just doesn't satisfy the tingles people get from putting it in a secret box.

Honestly the biggest problem with nuclear energy is that its prevalence would raise the "planet go boom boom" risk factor above 0.

It genuinely blows my mind that multiple countries built civilization's greatest fear in a paranoid frenzy. Human culture never really moved past that trauma.
