- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 1 week ago:
The AI company I work for recently rolled it out. It works. We are getting alerts when we block the view of a monitored object or an unfamiliar face is in a secure location. Many thousands of cameras are monitored with minimal human oversight.
- Comment on The fact that we have dreams is crazy. That we remember them is crazier. 1 week ago:
Additionaly, there is wide variance between individuals. Some folks can control dreams, making up the story as they go with deliberate decisions. I’ve had this several times. Also, some medications have significant effects on dreaming. Overall, the various states of consciousness and the functioning of memory are poorly understood.

One proposal suggests that the universe will entirely run down eventually. In many billions of years It will become a cold empty featureless vacuum.

Questions are a good thing and preferring to get answers from humans instead of machines is a good instinct. Less harshness and more humanity makes the fediverse a better place.

- Comment on If a real AGI owned a content creation business of any sort, it would crush human run studios by understanding the market, by insisting on human talent for all creative aspects of the content. 3 months ago:
This is a plot point in Neuromancer. The AI recruits the Rastafarians by playing a “righteous dub”.
- Comment on If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences 4 months ago:
FTL travel implies a mastery over spacetime itself. After that, a practical time machine is a matter of engineering details.

Something you may not know is the origin of the word fascist.
The fasci siciliani were peasants and farmers seeking basic rights and reforms before 1900. Fasci refered to the fact that a single straw is weak, but a bundle was strong.
The term was later ressurected in a nostalgic sense to make the new rising popularists look like men of the people.
