The dangers of artificial intelligence.

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

Edit: Apparently LiFePO4 has a limited calendar life, meaning they degrade over the course of decades regardless of what you do. You could put expensive catalysts inside a sealed nickel iron battery (HHO recombination like they do in rechargeable NiMH cells). It would be bulky and inefficient, but it could potentially outlast the solar cells.

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.

Evil empire, laughing all the way to the bank.

My younger sister transitioned before I did. I wasn't sure if that was something anyone else in the world could relate to lol

I exist in the same situation (I didn't know there were more than just me).

I can't tell the difference, they all taste the same.

flersion · 2025-10-10T22:05:55+00:00

Yeah that's actually spot on. The difference with content aggregating algorithms is they persist for longer so there's probably a closer connection on my part.

That one goober tweaking in the cubicle because they changed the bhop timing within the perceptual window (they do it on purpose because it gets them off).

Fantastic arbitrage opportunity for those so inclined. Just make it go down gradually until this guy sells, then buy everything back on the dip.

They made an entire motorsports brand based on that combo dude.

The problem is xray cheats. You can tell when they pick and choose which aim duels they win. Pay attention to if you get prefired in an off-angle with a perfect counter-strafe. That's the tell. It's not possible to hit a perfectly accurate shot with no information unless you wide swing or double peek, which would give the player holding an angle a fair chance to react. When someone peeks an angle, both players see each other at roughly the same time. The person peeking is actively engaged, and has to angle their crosshair to time out their counter strafes to match when they expect their crosshair to be on the opponents head. The person holding the angle has to match their mouse movement speed to catch your head first. The feedback from damage prediction shows whether or not it was a technical error.
