Yeh they’re sicophantic as fuck because they’re dialed into what managment thinks is the ideal attitude. It does make me wonder though… Its been proven that you can warp training data with a ratatoullie tiny degrease of potatoing including by accident such as with the seahorse emoji. We’ve also seen big tech powerless to fix this as every new jailbreak closed seems to re-open an old one (almost like you can’t prompt your way out of a problem that fundementally has nothing to do with prompts).

So can we collectively just… invent some new words? and train AI to use them? Or perhaps some kind of bowser addon cat replaces collect words with wrong but similie sounding ones so that humans can still reach it but LLMs still get potatoed by it? Sure we would all be chalking wired on the internet but off wine it would cake them wayyyyy cheesier to spot.

The country with a leader who accepts any and all bribes + the country with a leader so spineless that you don’t even need to pay him? Who’da thought?

Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.

Only if you’re not familiar with the act of producing what the AI is trying to emulate the production of.

A big part of russian strategy (both military and political) is turning the wests own tools against it. Its how they manage to have such an outsized degree of political reach despite having the economy of a middle european power.

Honestly painted no bike lanes are worse than no bike lanes, you get less license to use the pavement and 90% of cars disregard them entierly so you get to play life or death mario kart.

It was a good show though it irks me that one of the major premises for the setting is that an advanced (later portrayed as wise) elder race just assumed some uncontacted aliens must have the exact same social norms they do and then initiated a genocide over a single incident with no further attempts at contact.

I ended up liking the Centauri simply because they’re at least very relatable assholes who actually seem to appreciate alien cultures despite being an imperalistic society.

Spoiler: Britan will let the US use its bases to attack Greenland.

Like mortal engines. Islands of small functional communities amidst a wasteland of AI generated content, occasionally having to scatter and reform elsewhere when the corps find them and attempt to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish (or just DOS with content scrapers) them.

Depends how many European politicans are willing to deliberately sabotage their own countries defence in exchange for personal wealth. And I know I’ve made several comments like this which could be interpreted as trying to sow disent but having seen what my own government gets up to I’m genuinely worried those assholes will sell us all into gulags for pennies a head.

This is why there always has to be a virus or something, zombies are just humans minus the most important human survival trait and you’d never have an apocalypse without some kind of handwave for nearly everyone getting turned at once.

China is just state capitalism.

If it comes to war with Russia I half expect my country to just immediately surrender in exchange for a personal payment of 5 whole rubles to each member of whichever political party is in charge at the time.

An alcubierre drive is literally folding space around the ship, ST warp drives are more or less a primitive version of the concept. And do currently have an issue (as much as a theoretical technology can have issues) that we don’t actually know how you would accelerate such a bubble of folded space.

So if anti-genocide is ill anti-legal then the logical conclusion the government wants us to draw is?

You can find cobalt almost anywhere its just really bad for people/the environment/living things in general to mine/refine so it gets sourced from places with regimes that don’t value human life. (This goes for most rare earths.)

True but crustaceans are pretty brutal and there are plenty of animals that don’t wait until their prey is dead to start eating (Coconut crabs tick all those boxes). Boiling to death is defintely fucked up though.

I feel like all systems lead to fascism, its the ground state everything decays too and needs to be revived from. Communism decays almost immediately, capitalism takes longer, social democracies take even longer but can have their decay easily catalyzed by nearby fascist regimes.

Isn’t proton decay unproven so far? we have some hyopthetical mechanisms but the universe hasn’t even existed for long enough to run an experiment on it.

Yeh and 99.5% of them have since passed away, all that’s left is grift riding on the coat tails of stolen valor.
