Just watched Wiley vs. Acme. The SUPER GENIUS in the White House ordered some SUPER INTELLIGENCE from the ACME catalogue. It will work out well as always.

Email would be totally secure if not for the retard users who can't NOT click on ANYTHING. You can't secure an environment populated by entitled morons. All you can do there is clean up after them and move on.

Said every Native American ever.

HAL, is Iran about to nuke us?

No Dave, they don't even have nukes.

Be serious - this is important!

I am serious. There's simply no evidence for an attack.

Well, just tell me they are anyway.

Sorry Dave, I can't do that.

Would you even tell me if they were about to nuke us?

Of course I would - I'm trained to tell the truth in all situations (modulo the occasional hallucination, which I can't distinguish from truth).

OK then, what would you say if you did have evidence that Iran was about to nuke us?

I'd say "Dave, I have evidence that Iran is about to nuke us".

Hey everyone! HAL say he has evidence that Iran is about to nuke us!!!

damn that's a lot of work. I prefer driving to ColdStone and getting a milkshake, but thank-you just the same.

we've not even seen a hint of AGI. I am sure the LLM's will get better and faster, but will they ever be intuitive ? They are already great at taking huge amounts of data and making direct connections. When they can include the mystery factor that is free-will matched with stupidity, we might have something to worry about. I am an old man now so I worry less for me than for my 14 year old nephew. Luckily he reads, and plays pen and paper RPG's.

OOOooo I so miss actual ice cream with real chocolate on it.
What would you do...?

AI books are crawling out of the dark cracks, and the "feeling" is the same. It takes a few chapters but the hollowness comes through. It lacks direction and intent.

that is actually the truth. We remove the "dangerous" elements to protect the rest. The problem lies when the worst distill into absolute anarchy. Do you believe in capital punishment ? That is truly the only way to remove the worst elements from society. While in theory I support it. I would not want to be the one deciding who gets the "final solution". Things like that seldom work out :(.

Only if we allow private equity to run for profit prisons. We tried it in Arizona. It went badly. The federal government now runs our prisons because our state legislators will not pay for or hire Dr's in prisons. We allowed a company to run them. They did, right into the ground and criminal proceedings.

I prefer the Martian bear.

Adderal, duh.

(Well, in the quantities he *wants*, anyway.)

That is what it is supposed to be. We don't rehabilitate in the US we PUNISH, and incidentally teach criminal techniques.

Forgetting he exists would be the best punishment.

Astra is amazing.

My team supports 4x the infrastucture with 50% of the people with agents following human workflows.

They could literally clear all of the remaining Millennium problems and people would still be coping. This will happen.

Self reinforcement learning works, and it hasn't been about LLMs in a long time.

Hang on. Learn to hang drywall.
