"No was was harmed, no one was threatened, nothing happened.
This is some crazy big brother shit that should not happen"

Are you on the bad drugs? You just said nothing happened, then you said it shouldn't have happened. Well, it didn't. Why aren't you happy?

Yes, they are both bad and addictive.

Never too soon to point out that someone who doesn't respect choices in one area surely doesn't respect them in others.

Try learning to read. There were important parts in there you missed.

They aren't writing it, Claude is.

The AI isn't thinking. It's just predicting what looks most like it fits, when the choice is diddled with random numbers. That's the difference: humans are doing something more profound than rolling a die to decide which of the possible next things should actually come next.

Jerking off is a better use of time than this, especially once you know this is his third attempt.

Doing it right is asking whether you want it installed, not forcing it on you.

Were you in a frat at Cornell or what?

What a fucking lame ass pack of bullshit false equivalences between the bullshit things that aren't happening that you're scared of and actual things that matter.

We know what he said. He said that we had to accept some gun deaths so we could have the second amendment. He also said "gurgle" and "ack" when that came home. Literally nothing else he said on the subject is of any interest.

Some of us are smart enough to see what he is from his actions and public statements. He's not trying to hide what he is, or if he is, he's such an alien that he has no idea what that entails.

Same. When I install Linux I do a minimal install and then add only what I want. I am usually doing something weird on install so this is frequently the only way that makes sense.

Mod parent derivative funny, but I wish the thread had continued with the other funny comment about Sam Altman leading the way as recipient of the bad things.

The joke I was actually looking for would involve the conflict of interest more directly, but it's still early and maybe something will show up. I wish I could help, but my capacity to write jokes is limited.

Hmm... Would it count as a bad thing happening if I asked the AIs for help in writing jokes for Slashdot? Some of the things they say are pretty funny, but usually unintentionally.

(Just had another funny-not-funny encounter with the google's AI today. This one involved a special case of traveling salesman problems. I had noticed that the google was having difficulties and that many of the answers were terrible, but yesterday I, the lowly human, managed to find a better solution for one of main routing bottlenecks. This must mean something about how the google is approaching the problem incorrectly... All I can guess so far is that there's an arbitrary limit in the AI's planning that is blocking it from finding this path. Or maybe the bus companies have their own AIs that are at war with the google's AI?)

Free software isn't about killing kittens, it's about the users of the kitten killing software.

Linus' pragmatism about licenses is misplaced because Linux would not have succeeded under a different license.

True. We should have hanged every last slave owner. Those would have been ends worth fighting for.
