If after 12 monty they actually comply then thats still a positive.
However i fear they may “fix” it with malicious compliance at 11 months and then the cycle repeats.
Instead what i think should happen is they should need to obtain “verified compliance” within a year. (Minus the time europe takes to check” and if the term expires the penalty goes up to eventually forced splitting up.

- Comment on Ex-OpenAI star Sutskever shoots for superintelligent AI with new company 1 week ago:
No need to clarify what you meant with the oligarchs theres barely any exaggeration there. Ghouls is quite accurate.
Considering the context of a worst case possible scenario (hostile takeover by an artificial superior) which honestly is indistinguishable from general end of the world doomerism prophecies but very alive in the circles of Sutskeva i believe safe ai consistent of the very low bar of
“humanity survives wile agi improves the standards of living worldwide” of course for this i am reading between the lines based on previously aquired information.
One could argue that If ASI is created the possibilities become very black and white:
-
ASI is indifferent about human beings and pursues its own goals, regardless of consequences for the human race. It could even find a way off the planet and just abandon us.
-
ASI is malaligned with humanity and we become but a. Resource, treating us no different then we have historically treated animals and plants.
-
ASI is aligned with humanity and it has the best intentions for our future.
For either scenario it would be impossible to calculate its intentions because by definition its more intelligent then all of us. Its possible that some things that we understand as moral may be immoral from a better informed perspective, and vice versa.
The scary thing is we wont be able to tell wether its malicious and pretending to be good. Or benevolent and trying to fix us. Would it respect consent if say a racist refuses therapy?
Of course we can just as likely hit a roadblock next week and the whole hype dies out for another 10 years.

TIL wasps kill spiders, (i looked it up). They are now my best friends. Wasps everywhere please. Genocide the spiders!!!
Wait then were gonna get mosquitoes……
I am starting to feel like maybe we should just let nature alone because it knows best… NAH, now that would be silly /s
- Comment on Wasps 1 week ago:
Maybe i am just naïve but cant we just breed a fuckton of bumble and other more friendly bees to release around neighborhoods so to suppress wasp populations around humans.
Do wasps carry a role that cant be done by a different pollinator?
I get that we should strive for maximum bio diversity but the wasps where i live will literally land and crawl over your face. I can just about hold my breath and handle that, my kid cannot.

The product isn’t total compute, Its reliable compute.
Still no excuse but pretty industry standard. The production costs for an iphone 6 where about a 100 bucks but sold for 8 times as much.
- Comment on Ex-OpenAI star Sutskever shoots for superintelligent AI with new company 1 week ago:
No i applaud a healthy dose of skepticism.
I am everything but in favor of idolizing silicon valley gurus and tech leaders but from Sutskeva i have seen enough to know he is one of the few to pay attention to
Artificial Super intelligence or ASI is the step beyond AGI (artificial general intelligence)
The later is equal or better in capacity to a real human being in almost all fields.
Artificial Super intelligence is defined (long before openai was a thing) as transcending human intelligence in every conceivable way. At which point its a fully independent entity that can no longer be controlled or shutdown.
- Comment on Ex-OpenAI star Sutskever shoots for superintelligent AI with new company 1 week ago:
Your entitled to that opinion, so are others. Sutsekeva may be an actual loony… or an absolute genius. Or both, that isn’t up to debate here.
I am just explaining what this about because if you think this is “just another money raiser” you obviously havent paid enough attention to who this guy is exactly.
- Comment on Ex-OpenAI star Sutskever shoots for superintelligent AI with new company 1 week ago:
Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.
This is the guy who turned against Sam for being to much about releasing product. I don’t think he plans on delivering product.
A safe Ai would be one that does not spell the end of Humanity or the planet. Ilya is famously obsessed with creating whats basically a benevolent AI god-mommy and deeply afraid for an uncontrollable, malicious Skynet.
- Comment on Ex-OpenAI star Sutskever shoots for superintelligent AI with new company 1 week ago:
There are very little people in the world that understand llms on such a deep technological level as Ilya.
I honestly don’t think there is much else in the world he is interested in doing other then work on aligning powerful ai.
Wether his almost anti commercial style end up accomplishing much i don’t know but his intention are literal and clear.

Just look at the kinda crap windows pulls today.
I thought i had disabled pretty much all the spyware, them on the microsoft online dashboard i found
- full machine specs
- A list off all applications installed
- edge search history
Btw, did you know that anything typed in start/search now counts as a search in edge? I wander whats behind that move.
In other words i understand much of the ai may function on a local level but it be fully integrated with cloud systems and you can safely assume a full record of your prompts and uses is stored on microsoft servers and delivered to bill gates for reading before bed.

I’ve heard stories of people 50-60 years ago drinking water from the river.
Mostly in documentaries about how these rivers got so polluted they are now chemical infested ecological hazards with little capacity to sustain life.
The pond in the back appears fine, but pollution is all around us. How can they truly be sure this water is safe? Not everyone can boil or filter on the spot wherever whenever.

- Comment on Students’ Leaf Blower Suppressor To Hit Retail 5 weeks ago:
So its 94% less sound because this seems sound calculated -12db in % with conventional formulas?
How would we describe perceived sound exactly, not many people can imagine something when given a db value? Maybe we should?
- Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room 5 weeks ago:
Fair enough i should indeed not have excluded the staff according to my own logic. Neither should policy be made based on internet comment. I also should have refrained from using chatgpt as i could have easily made one myself.
I am an advocate for using ai to enhance speech if it’s clearly labeled. The desire to be a good example towards this labeling appears to have lead to me doing so where not actually needed or relevant. I didn’t misread its output as much then it was already wrong in my head while writing the prompt.
My intention was to explore the meaning of ownership and belonging rather than proposing theft be fully legalized. I understand that in modern society we only consider economical ownership trough
To answer your hypothesis of a state run distribution center, you must understand i answer this purely from my own understanding of the world.
Depending on your own perspectives i am both pro and anti government at the same time.
To me (and this is a personal-anarchism perspective) a state at minimum is but an organized collective of people concerning the general well being and health of all members of its own people. If a state can be just this then i want it. If it’s not this then what is its purpose.
A state run distribution center running out of goods because the people it distributes toward made inefficient and asocial choices and committing acts of exploitation (creating scarcity by taking to much, profiting by creating exclusive ownership of the goods yourself) is a sign of a broken society and in extends its government as such system is not sustainable.
People who compromise the sustainability of their own society are a system of systemic neglect of education and mental health.
Yes my pov is radical and extremist. Till someone comes by that can properly show me how add why taking this perspective and talk about it is more wrong then silently going trough the motions of the planet wrecking machine.
Thanks for reading, whoever actually did.
- Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room 5 weeks ago:
Taking items from belongings to a person is wrong.
Causing physical harm to a person is even far more wrong.
But to add to that, to who exactly do the items on display in a store belong? (I asked this question to ai to make following list)
-
The items belong to the store owner or corporation that owns the store, having been legally purchased for resale.
-
The items belong to the workers who produce them, as their labor creates the value of these items.
-
The items belong to the community or society as a whole, ensuring collective access and distribution.
-
The items belong to those who use them, with property being legitimate only when actively utilized.
-
The items are part of the common resources that should be freely accessible to all individuals, promoting mutual aid and cooperation.
Noteworthy is that the items never belong to the store employee from any perspective but it could belong to the thieves according to 3, 4 and 5, If the thief happens to work at the factory they can also fall under 2.

Interesting discussion to have witnessed as an outsider.
Is an article written for a a writers expression or a readers enjoyment. (Both?)
I dont think they where frustrated with the writers enjoyment but rather disappointed that the article was a first discovery opinion rather then a veterans rediscovery from a modern point of view which would have been more useful to reflect their own opinion and thus be more personally entertaining.

Lol, they didn’t even try to test the system if this is the result. Ai isn’t intelligent but humans still take the cake of stupidity by having brains and not using them.
Many public stable diffusion models have a bias, porn often being overrepresented but all it takes is a "nude, naked, erotic, sex, nsfw " in the negative prompt and unless the model is build to only generate porn this will never happen. Or better yet, use some of that corporate money and build their own sd model that is verified to not included any nudity in its training data.
