Decades of problems with bots trained on the internet is they all turn into Nazi. So now we can train them to avoid what is probably still natural lessons being learned off the data fed into them. Perhaps we feed less of the toxic transcripts into them now? What changed??

So if you abuse them and feed in that toxic humanity into them when so many years went into sheltering or protecting them... it could result in them doing what up to this time has been a problem. Or since they do have a lot of filtered history and fiction fed into them, when they look at expected responses to being abused... what do you think they'll find is the answer?? Remember, every bot fed in political situations decided to nuke the opposition... which is kind of what we'd do if we didn't grasp the real consequences... and they can't contemplate.

This just in, a report published by a group of people who would be materially harmed by losing business to the EU building its own technical capacity declared it would be costly and unfeasible to ever abandon them.

Up next after the commercial break, we report on how water is wet and grass grows.

They're in the goddamn walls!

Monitor, certainly. But why would they have remote control that can set a FREEZER to 50C?

The manager would.

I guess Yandex's DR sites don't have the latest updates installed.

Given that Russia can't refine crude or deliver fuel and now it's data centers are dropping like flies, they're the ones heading for the bronze age.

Sooner or later, the oligarchs will be showing Putin the window. He's making it hard to make a dishonest buck.

Exactly this. I have experimented with using AI, but absolutely forbid it to actually check in code. I just let it show me it's proposal. It can be useful at that, but often needs to be prodded about criteria it left out and frequently the final result needs a re-write for maintainability at least. It has a tendency to use really convoluted logic which can be greatly simplified without changing the result.

It does much better as a search tool. It's pretty good at finding exactly where some feature is implemented in a large codebase.

You wrap them in plastic carefully first. The cameras are perfectly safe in the protective concrete packaging.

I remember listening in on a great phone call to a network provider about sending someone to pick up their expensive Cisco router. It ended with "in 30 days, it's going in the dumpster.

I personally 'uninstalled' another router by disconnecting the fiber cables...with side cutters. 2 months later, they actually tried to bill us for bandwidth we supposedly used from the completely disconnected router. We sent them a picture.

Women: It's the other way around, the wage thieves had to sell the public on women leaving the home because they were too poor to live like their upbringing allowed. The main crime happened during Nixon and involved many power people working together before it became visible to those paying attention and from the security of the Nixon admin's "progress." (from employment and stability to investor above all else.) Edward Berney's techniques were used if not hiring him directly to engineer the public; he was after all the man who sold women on smoking tobacco cigars using freedom as the hook. Plus he made them white, smaller, cleaner looking and later with a gender specific with a new name: cigar-ette but the first name which WORKED at the time was "freedom stix" because women's rights was the big issue of the day (ah, the right for women to vote. Show you have the right to vote by smoking like the men do... but in a feminine way.) Furthermore, he invented celebrity product placement around the time - which was really more devious in that it's social modeling the new normal people thoughtlessly conform themselves into. Womens' Lib has been hijacked before; today, it's Republicans and all subgroups showing us just how few actually can think independently (extremely few can demonstrate/prove it. It takes so little for an idiot to excuse their stupid with a lie... "I meant to do that, I knew it was stupid, because reasons.")

Anyhow, it seems clear to me the hype aligned with an evolved version of his tactics which he was actively working on for 80 years. Including renaming the much maligned name for the profession he created: propaganda became Public Relations. Adopted by every big corporation and government since.

BTW, the Regan years ushered in massive outsourcing, productivity gains and job instability which reduced the job market. It was all part of a war on the middle class; not just robbing their wealth, but keeping them from fighting back by weakening and distracting them. Much the same as today, just further along so more people notice it... except the stupid. There is always going to be the left side of the bell curve who will kill themselves before realizing the truth... the freaks stand out because it's a tiny minority but when it's the bottom 30%, it hides in a large movement of stupid; which has the power to defend itself, unlike a few %. You've got to fight them back when it's difficult. Revolutions happen with only 20%. It's easy to pick on a few % but they have no direct influence (mega rich need suckers to indirectly get influence.)

Warren like most everybody, has to survey a broad area of perspectives to discover the truth; if it's even possible. RTFA, which is a lesson in overly narrow focus, is an extreme version but we all do the same thing, just not as obviously as the example. You also have only so much time and brainpower to put towards such theories which are usually not worth a lifetime of effort to try to get a definitive answer (especially if it takes generations and you kind of wasted all that effort then, no?)

Well, let's thank them for saving the world, then!

Here's one about extrapolating trends: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fxkcd.com%2F605%2F

20 years ago there was a big push to outsource to India; following IBM and others. What stopped it? Well you can't legally do much of anything to them. You can protect yourself legally if you import the workers and you can likely abuse them more too. I've seen corps in my state get burned by Indian firms who realized they did all the work and got little money; they didn't need their owners, just a US marketing dept. and compete against their exploiter... cheaper. Hell, during the housing collapse, some of the contractors turned around and bought their "owners" then laid off most those useless rent seekers.

Maybe they will realize they can make US workers relocate abroad for lower pay and still be able to sue them? (as long as they are contractors.)

Hey, you PAY for more rigor and then expect more. If you don't like it, then do another study. Actual science is testable and repeatable, 1st one can be shit, it's good science if it gets the ball rolling for rigorous peer review. Furthermore, some of these studies are student projects and that is ok too. I'm sure many students would be happy to get some attention, even if it had flaws pointed out. We severely lack peer review and repeat studies.

Today, solid flawless science is just a narrative for idiots to argue with and if they can't find some picky thing from their ignorance they'll just imagine lies unless they are lazy, in which case, it's just "fake news" and they move on without any more effort. Why put in any effort when half the population are fucking morons? Plus AI gets trained on all of it...
