...will deal with any real AGI threat: delay, deflect*, ignore, and blame.
In short, if AGI is possible, humanity is bigly hosed. Nice knowing you all, cheers to all the great trollin' and dupes...
* "But China & India pollute more" is a stupid GOP position. For one, it's 2-wrongs-make-a-right, and second, their pollution per person is actually LOWER than ours. It's penalizing population, not pollution itself.
now what could possibly go wrong? Hmmm. Those who pushed the IOT craze should be beaten with bricked IOT devices.
>"Right. Because without kids damaging their mental health on social media, democracy dies. Sure."
They are, indeed, damaging their mental health, for sure. Which is why kids should not have ANY unsupervised access to unrestricted, internet-connected DEVICES. That is where the focus should be, not on ruining the whole internet for everyone.
But "democracy dies" has nothing to do with it, that is just the buzz word of the last few years.
I'm conflicted, between allowing people to use the internet, and seeing the obvious damage it does to children.
- side note: it damages adults as well. I've seen friends radicalized both left and right by social media, and people who are seeking validation, then seeing the curated "lives" some others post leading to dissatisfaction with their own good lives. Back to the kids.
Inculcating unrealistic expectations, premature sexualization and bullying. And surrounded by the lies and bullshit that at least some adults can figure out is lies and bullshit.
Look at it as being done for the same reason we don't give drivers licenses to children under 16.
> just like your local grocery store, convenience store, etc. is allowed to offer house brand items
If there were only ONE grocery store brand in the area, it would be a problem.
You didn't learn from Microsoft's Borgification of competition.
What about if there is an international fee for deployment that is spent on clean-up bots? It's kind of like how cans, bottles, and electronics (some states) attach a disposal fee.
Sure, and in an alternate timeline ostriches are the dominant species and shrimp are the top predator of birds.
You have to admit that would be pretty awesome.
Top killer is domestic cats in many areas, but who's counting..
Sort of.
Humans have removed most of the natural predators of birds, but cats, who have the ability to live alongside humans, have adapted to that ecological niche.
Agreed. It would also take an army of cats to make a big dent in the bird population. In my area hawks are big bird predators. My back yard bird sanctuary has a lot more predation by hawk than by the neighborhood cats. It's just part of the Predator/Prey relationship.
Oh no, communists.
Musk has always been an absolutist with regards to anything he himself wants to do. Rules are for other, lesser, people.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
