  How do you win this race? By having the most capable unsustainable LLM? Not sure if I care…

  Not recommending anything, but; with all the guns Americans have, its pretty wild that such people is still here. Apparently, schools are an easier target…

  The Singularity Trap by Dennis E. Taylor (2018) The book defines a sci-fi universe where humanity must escape from an overwhelming AI entity. The solution, as demonstrated by the main character, is to be turned into a machine using nanomachines, yet somehow retain one’s humanity. When I raised the issue of this kind of story’s inherent paradox and flawed logic—where the solution to saving humanity from an AI entity seeking to destroy all natural biological life is to turn into machines—people responded that they still enjoyed the narrative. Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised if this idiot’s stament gathered widespread support.

  Why can’t we win the AI race and still not have a surveillance state? Those don’t seem like they have to be linked…

  It’s funny how many governments are getting surveillance wrong. Mass surveillance and aggregating the data with other social network databases is where the danger is at. Personal surveillance is right up there with recording authorities abusing their power and protecting your home. Ironically, the reverse is happening. The same governments where laws like GDPR criminalize personal surveillance also sign up for palantir’s services and mass surveillance systems as they allow companies to no longer give a shit on their websites about the GDPR and effectively allow them to collect all the personal data GDPR was supposed to protect. People shouldn’t be so keen to disseminate public videos onto social networks, but they should definitely be allowed to record and submit them to the authorities or to the courts if necessary.

  I hope he puts some camaras near his house. Then we’ll all know where he is at all times.
