The best part of DS9’s Section 31 was that Section 31 knew they were the bad guys too.
Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

Okay, he’s a leader of a large religion.
That still doesn’t give him any special knowledge or authority regarding AI.


Specifically sex abuse within the church.


They might be surprised to learn that Ukraine has to agree to end the war before it’ll actually end.


Lots of religions have one of those.


He’s a religious leader, what does he have to do with the tech industry?


I think this would depend on the house being designed for this in the first place. A long time back I recall reading about how non-flow-through houses would endure high winds in a hurricane or tornado until one of the windows broke, at which point the hole in the house allowed the wind to ram air in (or suck air out depending on which way the hole was facing) and the whole house would disintegrate.
If my recollection is correct then there might be a slight benefit in the house-wrapping idea in that it might do a bit to prevent a hole like that from being taken advantage of. But only a slight benefit. Probably better to just do the traditional nailing of plywood over windows and such.
Are military AIs still considered inherently evil?


At least it doesn’t contain any fire.

Being anti-AI makes one an outcast? Come visit the Fediverse or Reddit bubbles and say a few things favorable to AI and see how that goes.
Jorge Gutierrez just backed out of making a TV series using AI because of threats against his wife and child. Spare me the victim narrative.


Witches can be found everywhere once you start hunting for them.


You have an idiosyncratic definition of “extreme” then. And “cluster” for that matter.


You guess wrong. C++/C# applications, with a fair bit of Python for various supplementary tasks.


The implementation. I like coming up with the ideas, grinding out the code to make those ideas actually happen is tedious.


I don’t know what you would call extreme, then. There’s literally only one country on the chart that’s less excited about AI, Belgium.


Actually, the US is an extreme example in the negative direction when it comes to global attitudes toward AI. Most countries are much more excited about AI than the US is.


reading tech news left me so confused. all these people around me were letting the language models spit out crap code. they gave up on what i thought was the most interesting part of the job
I think I see the source of your confusion: you’re assuming that everybody has the same attitude towards things that you do.
I find that LLMs remove all the most boring parts of the job.


Depends where you look, “the Internet” isn’t one unified place. Social media forms bubbles easily, and social media like Reddit or the Fediverse is practically designed that way - minority voices get downvoted, blocked, banned, and so forth. So unless a forum is taking significant effort specifically to ensure diversity of opinion you’re going to end up with things drifting to some sort of extreme.


Yeah, that was a lander that truly looked like a lunar workhorse.
Tomorrow: “President Trump accuses the Democratic Party of being in support of illegal immigration, attempts to shut down the bank accounts of all members.”
