I thought open source just meant the source code was open to view. Seems like letting just anyone submit code would inevitably lead to a tragedy of the commons without some serious controls in place.

They let just anyone submit these requests? Why? Shouldn’t that be limited to people who actually work for the company?

I don’t understand. What is a “pull request”?

Absolutely. Today’s “AI” is as close to real AI as the shitty “hoverboard” we got a few years back is to the one from BttF. It’s marketing bullshit. But that’s not what bothers me.

What bothers me is that if we ever do develop machine persons, I have every reason to believe they will be treated as disposable property, abused, and misused, and all before they reach the public. If we’re destroyed by a machine uprising, I have no doubt we will have earned it many times over.

The Cemtauri are just white colonizers and it’s not even subtle. E.g. ICE eating at a Mexican restaurant before arresting the staff or Southern slave owners banging their slaves.

That’s not even a lot of words. Am I talking to a bot?

So you’re done learning? Cool, now step aside and be quiet while someone else learns something.

Trump definitely strikes me as the “goes scorched earth when he’s cornered” type. All the oligarchs do. There is no enlightenment at the end of their evil journey, only hatred and spite for having it ended.

She’s never done anything herself except ruin the reputation her plagiarized work earned her.

The scenario we’re discussing involves a child old enough to start asking questions about people kissing. Of course dealing with a literal toddler would be different.

Right on. More people need to learn the difference between authoritarian and authoritative.

All too often “knowing what’s best for them” is just a lie bad parents tell to justify their authoritarian parenting. They don’t care what’s actually best for their kid, only what validates their own worldview and life choices.
