Yea, well we need to make them not suck then.

That doesnt sound like what he said at all. He just said that some AI toy might become a billion dollar trend…which really, making interactive toys should have been the first place these things were deployed. I want game NPCs with dynamic personalities and adaptive reactions. I want games that can handle the player stepping off the map by dynamically new content around them. And if they cant make an AI that can challenge an experienced human at a 4x game without cheating, the whole idea of an AI founding an actual billion dollar company is a pipe dream.

Who the fuck is giving agentic AI access to their credit card? Thats like handing a lit blowtorch to a toddler.

Surely this leopard will not eat my face. When will people learn, hell always, always, betray you eventually, unless you have the tapes.

Many breweries add DHMO directly to their product without disclosing it on the label.

Sometimes these things are also a trap. Someone will deliberately be positioned to make a public opposition stand, just to flush out anyone who would support them.

Probably, but only in retrospect.

Military force kills people and breaks things. The US military is incredibly good at this. Wielding the power of destruction in a manner that produces positive outcomes is the job of politicians, and the Executive Branch happens to be incredibly bad at this.

Where do you think that proportion wasted is wasted? What happens when energy costs spike and plastics become more expensive? When logistics, transport and storage costs go up, waste doesn’t vashish, it grows exponentionally.

Im sure it will be great comfort to the billions who starve in a global famine while we spend decades building out the infrastructure for that.

Even taken at face value, it would mean they are backing off raw growth in favor of efficiency as their primary goal. Reading between the lines, it sounds like OpenAI trying to scale back expansion plans without spooking investors. The computer version of layoffs disguised as expectations of future AI efficiency.

Hes going to turn Iran into another Syria, declare victory, then fuck off and pretend it never happened. If it destabilizes Europe and the Middle East he wont care. In fact, Miller et al. are probably excited about the chance another refugee crisis will push Europe’s far right into power. Hes going to try the same thing in Cuba, except the consequences there will be unavoidable.

That doesn’t sound very reassuring.

I think there were actually more bots here in the early days. Its comparatively easy to automate setting up all the accounts you want, and I think we were being used as a testing ground to calibrate behavior and coordination. It seems like the most obvious ones have moved on, or at least become less obvious. High quality chatbots arnt free, and were too credulous and too small in number and influence to be worth the effort.

Yes, the deadly drug known by the street names “black gold” and “Texas tea”.

I dont know. Maybe its not fixable. Maybe democracy as we know it cant withstand contact with social media and AI any more than absolute monarchy could survive the printing press. Maybe it will get better on its own, as kids growing up with AI start to spot it the way people today spot CGI.

Somehow I dont think a class is going to fix this.

I assume that means they give some 19 old a flashlight and a bucket and make him stay awake all night in case there is an image attack.

Its sabotage. The leadership is incompetent, but they only make the rules. The people below them are the ones actually doing things.
