That sounds like malarkey. What people love to do more is dump on other people, and what they can't help doing is trying to rationalize. They also on average don't spend much time thinking. So if you give them some missing blanks, they will fill them in whichever way makes them feel good.
Simple experiment. Put a garage sale sign out when the forecast shows some rain. The largest group of people think haha fucking idiot. Followed by people think maybe it's just in case or things might look better on Sunday. Then you have people thinking it's all just to fuck with them personally. In the last and smallest bucket you have the correct answer, the forecast was not even looked at; they were too busy planning a garage sale.
The reason dumb things like Hanlon's Razor and Buy Low Sell High work and need to be repeated is because of human nature. It's not because they're particularly brilliant axioms.
Stupid and malicious are different.
The offered narrative is "let us build the data center AI control grid now because it's only temporary until we can move it to space".
You and I both know that's not thermodynamically possible with known science.
So do the people saying it.
We have a real problem with Positive Projection where we are decent folks so we project that on people who are not. That is an error even though most people are decent folks. The parasites are not.
I only recent learned that Hanlon's Razor comes from a humor book about Murphy's Law from the early 80's. It's not some ancient axiom of wisdom - it is used by the Cluster B disordered to mask their nefarious deeds.
If you talk about this with most people these days you'll get the Positive Projection script executed like an autorun.
Everybody should turn off autorun whenever possible. Major risk.
> Gardasil
It's sold as an "HPV vaccine" but it only targets about 4% of HPV viruses, specifically the ones most likely to cause cervical cancer in women in their 40's. It's described in the Merck literature.
Not even the HPV most likely to cause throat cancer in men (usually acquired from lady parts).
If cancer treatment advances at the current rate (AI discovery docs estimate 9 years for the supermajority) it's possible that the Gardasil fatalities will have killed more teens than prevented deaths of women.
It's like a Drake Equation for cancer - the coefficients will determine the narrative either positive or negative. This is where free choice is ethically mandated.
Unfortunately there is considerable religious fervor about such things so very few people wants to scientifically discuss nuances.
Yup and you can tap a button to use a cloud instance in ChatGPT/Codex, it's built right in. Setup GitHub once and do interesting things from a remote container.
People still need to use agents with their local files. It's the system you're working from, and unless everything you do is software development shaped and on a git server then the agent would probably need access to your local environment for you to do anything with it.
Sometimes we run agents in containers, and sometimes that's super inconvenient.
It's not a bad idea to make a separate local account though, and use a git remote for coordination like you would with a coworker. Even with that I'm still going to use AI from my own account while I'm working there though. There's really no excuse not to have strong sandboxing for processes inside an account.
The literal definition of an AI agent is software that is fully autonomous, an AI agent cannot "become increasingly autonomous".
What?? No it isn't. Yes they can.
You can remotely use them exactly the same way you'd use one locally, prompt it and it does things for a bit, like you drive the agent on your Mac from your phone. You can also schedule prompts to run, or you can have some event driven setups. There's a wide variety of modes with different event types and schedule frequencies.
Autonomy never was black and white, it still isn't. Besides that misunderstanding, they're still gaining capabilities too, like driving gui apps, and people give them different levels of trust with the local system and remote services.
Say more; be specific.
What is missing or broken?
Why isn't EU sponsoring specific features and fixes it needs?
Or assign some of their own developers to submit pull requests.
Or hire *some Europeans* who are unemployed because their war is killing industry.
Let's hear from their project manager instead of faceless wankers and the people responsible for sales.
rsilvergun's really not getting his $ worth out of this account. Do better.
Well yeah. And? We framed the summary to fit what we wanted people to believe, regardless of what the reference that nobody's going to check says.
Propaganda 101.
This is just self-indulgent doomerism.
Your narcissism requires that you see The End Times(tm) in everything so I get it, you can't just shrug and move on. Our g'g'g'etc parents back several thousand years:
1) watched significant numbers of their children die before adolescence; women would get pregnant and recognize that every single birth was a 1-1.5% chance she dies, often in agony.
2) were born to an average life expectancy of 20-35 years.
3) unless they were 0.1%ers likely couldn't read nor ever hope to be educated, or go more than 10km from home (unless they were captured/enslaved/relocated at the whim of whoever owned them)
4) mostly were serfs, slaves, other menial drudge classes, bound to work like slaves through all the daylight hours of their lives just to (hope to) survive...maybe?
5) lived in constant fear imminent infection, disease, pestilence, and/or war.
And yet they still had families, loved each other, struggled together, and kept on keeping on.
Now?
1) the biggest danger to a conceived child is a liberal woman who sees it as an inconvenience. Of course, even more recently we discover that a terrifying % of 'modern women' feel they can justify disposing of kids themselves even after birth if they're inconvenient or "sad".
2) the developed west children born today live rather more than DOUBLE that, a goodly chunk of those years basically at leisure given ample social networks (& even in the US despite constant weeping that US SS would be gone for the last 50ish years...).
3) in the developed world are what, 99% literate, have (through easy internet) access to all the knowledge of humanity at their fingertips, can live pretty nearly wherever they want, travel where they want
4) are largely free people who get to choose their lives, their partners, their lifestyle at their whim
5) have essentially no fear of imminent infection, disease, pestilence, and/or war.
The latter group have managed to generate abject, paralyzing levels of terror ("I can't bring a child into this world!") over "the sea might rise a handful of inches over the next century" or "I might have to go work in an office instead of sitting at home in my jammies" or "all this cheap food is making me fat" or if that's not enough invented crap to be afraid of, projecting anxiety on behalf of people you have never met, never will meet, nor will ever in your life have anything to do with. (Tell me honestly how many Americans could have pointed to the Donbas on a map in 2008, or even identified what a Rohingya was in 2015?)
I understand your panty-wetting terror and anxiety is very en courant. It's also not very rational, so... on-brand for the times, I guess.
Congratulations, you have created an exact MS Teams exact replacement.
I'm been using chat/messaging apps since BBSing and AIM and I'm not sure I could deliberately design a less useful piece of junk than Team if I tried.
The propagandists say that their competitors confuse people and they won't believe the propaganda anymore.
The Horror, the Horror.
We'd all be trillionaires if we could see that far into the future with sufficient clarity.
Consider whether a Depopulationist psyop is more or less likely than that The End Times have finally come (unlike the previous thousand pronouncements).
People who are anxious and scared are easy to control. Have a look back at Al Gore's slide deck and see how much they really knew.
Though Competitive Advantage should not be discounted as a very real driver of evolutionary fitness.
