I absolutely agree that's on the "better" side, but I'm not sure we're net positive on this one.

Yes. We survived. Do you think society has fundamentally changed for the better due to it? Or has it fundamentally contributed to things to be worse overall?

Maybe the code you strat with shouldn't be AI slop like this project.

So you didn't understand my post. Like not at all. That's really telling about just how correct I was about you.

I know you're saying this with the best of intentions, and I'm sure you're surrounded by capable, at least moderatly intelligent people because people tend to surround themselves with people like themselves. But most people are not like this. Seriously thinking this is a reasonable solution paints you as painfully naive.

That's not the incentive that caused the subprime mortgage crisis at all. Where dod you get this idea from?

The incentive that caused this was the ability for originators to easily sell loans, and the demand for such loans of nearly any quality by the aftermarket as packaged loan tranches were making good money. It's basic market dynamics once you understand the change the precipitated it.

So if I admit to multiple felonies publically I'm legally in the clear as long as other people are commiting similar felonies? What kind of logic is that?

"by preying on vulnerable populations like children and violent or delusional adults."
They're afraid of what their own "Forlida Man"/men will end up doing. That's hilarious.

They are positioning AI as the nuclear weapons of the 21st century, angling for a nationalization as a strategic weapon when the bottom drops out of it.

The AI bubble bursting will wreck the economy far harder than the Dotcom bubble did. And the dynamic is OBVIOUS. This is not an "if" problem, it's a "when" problem.

If AI produces a maximal result along the lines of what the frontier labs suggest, it'll eat fifty million jobs, which will wreck the economy far harder, and for far longer.

The constant chatter about AI breakout is half legitimate concern and half positioning to nationalize it, shielding the circular dealing crew from consequences.

This will not be Skynet; as a society we are far too primed to envision events that can be told in a single two hour action adventure with a clear, satisfying ending. When the historians get to this they will note the breakout happened 2025 - 2027 -- because that will be the time where human network threats enhanced by AI will starting further enhancing AI.

There are no "sides" to this, it'll be like the African savanna - lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, wild dogs, servals & caracals, clear down to my personal favorite, the black backed jackal. A network of carnivores of various sizes pursue networks of herbivores. Nation states, corporations, non-state actors, activist groups, talented individuals; all are making use of AI in conflicts already.

The genie can not be put back in the bottle, the open models are only a little behind the frontier, and things are going to keep happening no matter what bellicose policy pronouncements come from an increasingly irrelevant Washington, D.C.

I'll be riding the Claude subsidy until it ends, then hopefully have acquired a potent professional GPU or unified memory setup of my own. Won't be nearly as quick, but it'll keep me moving.

Now scale that thinking up by whatever percentage of eight billion people have technical capabilities. That's the future.

But, but how els would a pedantic /. loser be able to prove that they know more than the rest of us other than to miss the intent of what is being said in order to build a strawman that they can then use to demonstratie their supposed expertise on the subject?

If you think the big tent thing was from 202 we're not even talking about the same things. But you sure had a lot to say. Hope that tuckered you all out. Inreality, the Democratic party has been pulling this playbook in earnest for nearly a couple decades in its currrent form. If you can't seer that you're missing the plot I'm talking about. Which tracks because you seem to have some correct observations but are baffled about or just confidently wrong on the how and why.

You are a brain poisoned loser, hiding behin an AC account. You should be ashamed of yourself, and i guess you know that or you wouldn't be posting anon, you loser.

Then shut up because your uninformed opinion is useless.
