Yeah, they’d hide it if it were good and people hated it, and they wouldn’t hide it if it were bad but people liked it. They’re hiding it because it’s unpopular. They don’t give a shit whether it’s bad.

“If slavery is bad, why are you hiding the fact that there are escaped slaves under your floorboards?”

That other person will be a Nazi if you accept, too. The job only goes to a finite number of people.

Some of them should probably use a brick instead. It isn’t like Fetterman’s brain can get worse.

It’s a thing in the sense that unicorns are a thing. There aren’t any currently, but it’s a coherent concept. If they banned unicorns within city limits, the ban wouldn’t do anything unless someone managed to make a unicorn; same idea with ASI.

So, an equivalent to C#'s Type? or Python’s Optional[Type]? That’s still a lot better than nothing. You aren’t going to get an array when you asked for a float, for example.

Mac Miller said he wouldn’t join the 27 club and then died of a fentanyl OD at 26. Charlie Kirk said Texas wouldn’t turn blue in his lifetime and then died of a fentanyl OD two years before that happened. Eerily similar.

It’s illegal in the US, too, but no one is actually getting punished, and there are ways around it (you just have to mark it up for long enough).

It’s the fascists’ Pokemon Go To The Polls moment.

Artificial superintelligence is a specific thing that doesn’t exist yet. A ban on it would be a cautionary measure in case of future advancements. A ban on artificial intelligence writ large would arguably ban my high school project that played Tic-Tac-Toe optimally.

It’s probably important to note that ASI (and its more conservative form, artificial general intelligence or AGI) are goals, which is to say that they describe the result and not the technology used to get there. LLMs are a specific technology that I’m pretty convinced will never achieve AGI, let alone ASI. Specific-purpose AI has been around for decades (e.g. Deep Blue, which was world-class at chess in the '90s), and LLMs aren’t really any different; their specific purpose is completing sentences, though, and that tricks a lot of people into thinking that they can actually perform metacognition in the way that an AGI would.

I’ve seen GB sometimes on Linux, but they’re actual GB, not mislabeled GiB, so I don’t have a problem with it.

“Bootlickers will blame a multi-trillion-dollar company”

Do you know what that word means?

The problem arises when the OS uses GiB but labels them GB, like Windows does.

The manufacturer is labeling the drive correctly as 1TB (1000GB, 10^(12)B). It’s Microsoft that incorrectly labels it as 931GB; it’s actually 931GiB (931 * 2^(30)B). A Mac will correctly show 1000GB and a Linux machine will correctly show 931GiB.

Here are some examples. Keep in mind that this is just companies that have rehired and admitted it; others are rehiring under another name (e.g. “we cut our workforce because of AI, then it was so successful that we grew and added more jobs” when they’re actually the exact same jobs) and still others are just taking the traditional path of laying off people who were actually needed and then shoving the work onto the remaining employees, degrading their products, and so on.

Also, a lot of companies labeled their layoffs as AI not because they actually had anything to do with AI, but because the company was in financial trouble and needed to lay people off, but claiming it was due to AI made the stock price go up instead of down.

If you make nine +2 districts and one -20 district, then drop 4 points across the board, you’ve just lost ten districts.

Playing right into right-wing rhetoric is all AIPAC Shakur knows how to do.

A bunch of companies are panicking and rehiring people because the LLMs are worse, slower, and/or more expensive than people, though. Causing people to lose their jobs doesn’t require it to actually do the jobs better, it just requires CEOs to think that it can replace people, which turned out to be far easier.

The Senate cannot impeach, only remove from office or decline to do so. The House is solely responsible for impeaching. Most members of Trump’s cabinet will likely be impeached and then not removed from office (and of course there are zero penalties for that happening…)

The power I was talking about is completely separate from conviction rates. Ask Emmett Till how much consolation it is that he wasn’t convicted.

Aren’t there more Christian Zionists than there are Jewish people total?
