  • There’s a number of downsides with the AI systems, that IMO are features for the ones involved with AI development. Say hardware costs putting gaming and high end computer hardware out of our pricing hands.

    Amazon, Microsoft and google, all have the desire to move you to cloud computers, Think of it, instead of owning a computer, you can rent access to your computers and storage, prices can be raised over time once you are locked in. All of them have been sticking their toes in this idea for decades, heck Amazon and Google both tried and failed to make streaming consoles. The only problem, people like owning hardware, and they can’t really compete on price against actual owned hardware. But… if they can’t bring their price down, maybe they can bring the price of owned hardware up until the equation shifts.

    Sadly I feel like that’s the ultimate pivot point as well, if AI never turns profitable at least not at the scale they are building, they’ll keep the data centers going under this pivot, and everyone else going all in has their own motives to love the pivot. If the movie and music industry can’t profitably get rid of troublesome writers and actors demanding better treatment. Imagine how much easier policing piracy will be when your hardware is all in the hands of trusted large corporations with media investments. Totalitarian governments will love it even more, on top of whatever survives of AI being able to run flock cameras etc… Microsoft and Amazon will happily give them back doors to everyones computers.

    But don’t worry, I’m sure china’s going to ramp up chip production to counter the hardware prices. No way that can be countered by either extreme tarrifs, or just outright laws banning their use in the states like they’ve done with Huweii devices or BYD cars.

    So yeah I also agree, slop and misinformation intentionally burrying legitimate sources is just one of many things that we all see as a “bug”, that probably are real “features” to the Epstein class.


  • I do wonder if in this example the party actually detected the intended propoganda, versus if they just were in a campaign doing what they thought good characters would do in a situation. If not it’s so much more telling, as the best way to tell if you are standing on principles or just biased propoganda, is if you would make the same judgments if the names were hidden or even reversed. Even more ironic because obviously the DM controls the facts of the fictional world. Literally likely to not know or leave out details that hurt his case.






  • That’s also the problem though, question is where do we put the controls, lets say on the meeting callendar. The obvious is we do it like humans, we have a calendar program, and the AI program is like a human. We set it’s permissions based what it needs at the calendar level. If it has read only access for instance, it won’t accomplish the goal of “summarize everything I need to do in 2 sentances”, by deleting everything your calendar except for 2 items that it can summarize. except the problem is, the AI has more information than it needs to have, IE it’s got leaked security bullitans that the calendar program you are using has a privilage escalation, or it guesses the IT guys admin passwords, etc…

    The only real workaround is, more narrowly trained AIs. instead of trying to make every model know every field. they should really be training 100’s different models into specialties. Fact is the customer service AI’s shouldn’t know how to write python scripts period. and honestly that’s probably the biggest thing that makes them bad at their jobs, and waste so much power and resources to do simple tasks. The idea of “one super AI” is IMO the core stupidest part of the AI rush.


  • Any reasonable person knows we are lying pieces of shit. The fact that you do business with us just shows you are stupid.

    and the sad thing is… it’s really getting to that point in life. advertising claims are just so normally bullshit. anything said by a company, a politician, or anything, is unreasonable to believe.

    At this rate people will be pushing for no fault divorces after they are caught cheating because… my spouse should have known I didn’t mean any of my vows, any reasonable person would have known I was a monster before the wedding.


  • I’m kind of torn on it, because the investors etc… are too, batshit stupid for me to make any sense. On one hand at the surface it seems like that should be the criteria of embarassment. IE we can’t control our AI, the old fictional AI concept of the paperclip problem is coming true (was an old thought experiment of an AI told to make as many paperclips as possible, and eventually it starts stealing resources and in the end just starts making paperclips out of people).

    Logically talking about this SHOULD be really stupid, these should be negative, yet somehow investors, governments etc… are seeing “this technology is dangerous, we have to be the first to master it at all costs!”, which since that seems to be the case it does make sense to lie about it.

    sigh … if this helps people learn things then sure

    A method as old as time. Ask someone who studied electronics about 20 years ago, ask anyone from that era or earlier how they remember the color code for resistors. I haven’t done anything electronic wise literally since tech school electronics class, but I remember the mnemonic, and can say, most people who have studied that that I’ve talked to, know the same (or very similar) ones.

    I still don’t understand. Is Ohm helping at all or just being an asshole?

    Lets imagine for a second we are using the circuit for a fan. The fan itself is going to have ohms because, by definition anything that is using the electricity to do anything, is going to slow the flow of amps.

    But then imagine you make the circuit, and you realize that the fan is spinning so fast the blades are falling off. Well then you’d need to add a resistor, to put more ohms into the circuit, so that less amps are getting to the fans. amps = Voltage/Resistance (ohms)






  • I think the confusing part is, you are talking about starting a cross domain system. Which means, 2 or more people will need to set up and install their own versions (or you are planning to install it on multiple of your own domains), but the same can be accomplished just by, instead of asking people to install something new, form a group that guarantees to keep eachother federated, and have everyone you want make their communities and users on the unified cluster". Yes other instances might defederate you from them per their rules. But how is that different than no one outside your group even making an instance to begin with of “new open BB” to start with.
