Ethically challenged software engineer working for a major tech company you know. Former technical consultant for the Netflix show ‘Black Mirror’.
My opinions may not always be popular, but they’re usually right, founded on inconvenient truths I’ve observed about our society.
Help me get to 1000 karma and I’ll stop posting forever.
True, I didn’t read the whole comment.
Altman was pushing that narrative because he’s a ladder kicker. He doesn’t give a shit about “safety”. He just wants regulation that will make it much harder for new AI upstarts to reach or even surpass the level of…
Take another look at the cast of FF6 and you’ll realize a lot of them aren’t really good people… Locke is a thief, Shadow is a straight up killer for hire, Setzer a degenerate gambler and rapist, Edgar a creepy…
More like an AI tech Legion of Doom.
Knowing what I know, I personally wouldn’t advise doing any kind of business with Sam Altman.
A human blink is 100ms, it would be amazing if in half that time a blink could be detected and the feed immediately switch to someone new once you open your eyes again.
I don’t know Sam Altman well but I do not think he’s a particularly good person, so there’s some counter-evidence. Personally I welcome this shake up. Some of the things I’ve seen Altman write about are troubling.
Chrono trigger is a great game, but I don’t think the story actually holds up that well. For one the time travel mechanic is fairly juvenile, and from what I remember the game is missing one of the most important…
People named Alexa will be thrilled that this shit never caught on, and will be on its way out soon.
I still feel Final Fantasy 6 was the best JRPG of the retro era. At the time it had heavy themes you wouldn’t expect a child to grapple with: the ideas that the good guys can just straight up lose and having to live…
In Europe these night trains are useless IMO. Air travel within Europe is cheap and easy, night trains are far more expensive, slow and run unreliable schedules sometimes, and they often don’t even take you to places…
For me the killer app for a coat hanger would be one that allows you to remove the shirt easily with one hand and without stretching out the shirt or possibly breaking the hanger, just pull to remove the shirt right off…
My children would simply not be in the way.
No, I’m saying terrorists are the intended targets and children just happen to be in the way.
Fruits are made to be eaten.
There’s no alternative, the terrorists hide amongst the civilians.
Intent matters. If you are trying to destroy terrorists, it can be a messy job that results in innocent bystanders also dying, but that alone doesn’t make you a terrorist. When you specifically target innocent civilians…
No it doesn’t. Terrorists target civilians and incite terror to further their cause. Hunters of terrorists target the terrorists, and stop them from furthering their cause. Seems like a pretty clear difference to me.
And there we go again with a live example of what I’m talking about.

Not sure I’ll make it. Usually a flurry of downvotes come in and drags me back.
Turns out, it doesn't mean much to be a living person. Ideas are what matter to society, not the individual that spawns them. When you kill a revolutionaire, you are only killing a man.
As an investor, if a founder's partner is considered "bad" or toxic, they will reject investing in them, as it will likely mean the startup will suffer as a result of personal relationship issues. This decreases chances…
This will be a fairly trivial problem to solve. Each spoken word can be cryptographically signed on some kind of distributed public ledger and unless the words originate from a verified origin you cannot assume…
It’s exciting to imagine that we can soon enter the age where people will be able to voice their opinions in their own voice and choice of words, long after they are dead and gone from this physical world. Perhaps the…
