Ye. Fuck AI.

X to doubt.

The fact that every billionaire will gleefully kill you, me and everyone to make number go up would, if humans were even a little rational, be enough evidence for their immediate liquidation. Capitalism is providing the best evidence for it’s own destruction and yet people just don’t see it because they personally aren’t starving and freezing right now.

The thing I really always wanted is more microplastics and metals in my bloodstream.

So who is the CEO of lemmy and when will they step down?

Okay, granted. But if we are on the stupid side of the equation, why would we be able to make something smarter then us? One does not follow from the other.

I also disagree that we have made anything that is actually intelligent. A computer can do math billions of times faster then a human can, but doing math is not smarts. Without human intervention and human input, the computer would just idle and do nothing. That is not intelligence. At no point has code shown the ability to self-improve and grow and the current brand of shitAI is no different. They call what they do to it training, but it’s really just telling it how to weigh the reams of data it’s eating and without humans, it would not do even that.

Ravens and Octopi can solve quite complex puzzles. Are they intelligent? What is even the cutoff for intelligence? We don’t even have a good definition for what intelligence is that encompasses everything. People cite IQ, which is obviously bunk. People try to section it into several types of intelligence, social, logical and so on. If we don’t even know what the objective definition of intelligence is, I am not worried about us creating it from whole cloth.

There are limits to technology. Why would we assume infinite growth of technology, when nothing else we have is infinite? It’s not like the wheel is getting more round over time. We made it out of better materials, but it still has limits to it’s utility. All our computers are computing 1s and 0s and adding more of those per seocnd does not seem to do anything to make them smarter.

I would worry about ecological collapse a lot more then this that’s for sure. That’s something that current shitty non-smart AI can achieve if they keep making data centers and drinking ourwater.

Where? I don’t see it.

Do we know it’s coming? by what evidence? I don’t see it.

Far as I can tell, we are more likely to discover how to genetically uplift other life to intelligence then we are to making computers actually think.

I have thousands of hours in DF…and I really wish it wasn’t a buggy mess.

Marksdwarves not taking arrows? Follow this easy 20 step guide of obtuse mechanics that circumvent what’s probably several bugs?

You fixed them taking ammo? Great, good job! Are they using the training room you set up verifiably correctly? No? Well sucks.

There are so many instances of this. Exploding trees killing woodcutters if trees grow into one another. Items left perpetually on the floor that can never be moved again. Military squads never returning from expeditions, forever blocking their noble spots and sometimes making it impossible to refill any positions…endless problems.

A lot of it can be fixed with DFhack but not all of it can. I am happy they are doing fresh content for the game, but I also wish they would take, like, two years to fix all the known bugs that have been in the game for several years. And while the steam version has a better interface then what was there before, it’s hardly perfect. It’s mostly just a bit more user friendly while being obtuse in new and inventive ways.

Why am I writing all this? Honestly I don’t know. I just…the game is uniquely frustrating, but so cool when it does miraculously work.

Adding $30.64 on the bet and pretending it’s fair is bold.

Shoot whoever makes this app, by the way. I am sure this will become real in our lifetime.

So their positive tipping point example is using renewables. Next they will tell us that we need to use public transportation more, use bikes for our commutes and fly less! Wow!

This is the same message, slightly repackaged because our collective situation has worsened too much. I need these people to go in front of a microphone and say “The only way out is to abolish capitalism because that is what’s killing all of us”. Until then, this is all just substance-free.

Thank you for the information! <3

Hey history buffs: why did Einstein flee to the US when he believed this? Why not flee to the USSR?
