Dude, it’s been 2 centuries, take a hint

So, the question becomes: does a particular charity have a shortage of tech people working for them or a shortage of money? Which would be easier to get?

Wait, I though the man survived a record 100 days and then got a normal heart. Is this the same guy or a different one?

Step 1: Connect all base commodities prices

Step 2: Find tech that makes one (most likely power) cost approximately nothing, causing all the other base commodities cost roughly nothing

Step 3: Though Makerspaces with tool loan libraries/DIY/AR goggles with open source AI/ETC… make it so that anyone with base resources can make anything they could ever want

Step 4: No more need to work for stuff.

Excel isn’t a problem unless all of it was done on one sheet and the only function used was sum()

Put it on a badge and make it so when you push on it, you say who you want call and it calls them.

Also make the badge the starfleet logo.

Take anything created, ffmpeg it into frames, then run it through this script’s stereoscopic mode:

I tried search the web for a particular comic - I think it might have been smbc - where the person’s prediction of when the singularity was inversely proportional to how long they had to live, but I can’t find it.

The last panel was an old guy saying “The singularity will arrive by Friday! Hopefully before 5…”

By 2045, there will be virtually nothing a human can do that a machine cannot do…

True

… better for a tiny fraction of the cost

False

Shareholders can sue if the board doesn’t do the thing that will maximize shareholder value. Probably the basic underlying problem with companies that sell stock.

defusing bombs in VR

Someone has a virtual copy of “Keep talking and nobody explodes” and a Quest headset and by jobe they are going to use it.

Musk is currently reviewing it for DEI terms. Also Trump just fired the Sony board and declared himself president of Sony.

If you can use AI in a way that people at the AI company can’t tell that you used AI, then they need you working at that AI company.

Sues. Lawyers do discovery. Tencent refuses. Court fines Tencent in contempt, rules in favor of the government. Tencent tries to bribe Trump with something.

I feel like in a post-global pandemic world, where we have AIs that can pass the Turing test, VR world’s where we can do global virtual raves, and if one cobbles enough cutting edge tech together one can say “earl Grey, hot” and a 3d printer can print up a model of a tea cup… I think scifi writers have to come up with what is NEXT.

No more “Oh this logical robot which can either be a metaphor for autism or enslaved people want to be free and human”. Give us projections on our current technology and social evolution. Shows set in the year 2200 shouldn’t just be dealing with the emergence of AI and still have only straight nuclear families.

I can understand “not doing things” like censoring anti-LGBT stuff, because that cost money. But this COST money to change.

Manager: Before we put these models into something that can implement code, we should test what it would do.

LLM: Tries to do bad things, but it can’t because that functionality hasn’t been implemented

Researchers: We found it doing bad things. Perhaps fix that before function implementation

This thread: The researchers are lying! It didn’t do bad things because it can’t! That isn’t implemented!

Manager: Yes… hence the test.

Wait, I came here to make a joke that he had the same name as the former Lib Dem leader… it actually is him?
