    Eh, I taught myself. You have to learn to take care of yourself at some point, whether it’s fair or not.

    Especially with the internet and youtube, there’s very little excuse not to learn how to cook.

    A lot of us grew up with shitty parents, had to figure out survival on our own as teenagers. I don’t blame them. People fuck up tons of important things, especially being parents. They’re just other irresponsible people that don’t have their own lives figured out. You win by being better than they were, figuring out your own shit and living better lives. Sometimes you just have to get out at 18 and figure shit out for yourself. It’s not the end of the world and people have been doing that for a very long time.


  • I feel like there’s an easy fix here, where the bureaucracy of a fantasy city could be either so slow or just non existent that this wouldn’t matter.

    “What is the purpose for the inspection? Yes, you’re free to go inspect it if you have some business purpose… What do you mean, ‘city inspectors’? What’s that? Commercial zoning? What? Build whatever you want there. No no it’s perfectly fine. If the last person contaminated the area… Well then build somewhere else or clean it up? That’s not our responsibility. If you don’t like the area, just don’t open a business there. No, the drinking water is not contaminated, I’m telling you I just drank from the well this morning and it was perfectly clear and clean water. If it made you sick, well, that tends to happen now and then everywhere, doesn’t it? We have no laws about water never making you sick. That’s ridiculous.”

    YEP. I’m not in AI but I’m in cyber security.

    I used to tell people that there’s very little actual risk, because if we had something even half as concerning as AGI (which I’d argue we did with chatgpt 3.5), that we’d easily be able to lock it down and prevent it from doing anything funny.

    Super intelligence isn’t just going to magically spawn on 32 GB ram in a sandboxed environment. And AGI will not magically know how sandboxed it is or how to escape.

    …then I saw people letting Claude send emails and use their credit card on their behalf like immediately when it was able to do things that appeared intelligent.

    They literally saw the smallest hint of AGI and said, “here’s my credit card and identity, take the wheel”.

    There was no fucking talk of sandboxing. Everyone turned that off so they didn’t have to click the “allow” button.

    Not that I think we’re at any risk of ASI since it seems more like we hit a logarithmic wall, but we are absolutely at risk of letting random algorithms destroy critical parts of infrastructure because people are lazy and stupid and managed by even worse people.

    I would not be surprised if the right AI hallucinations could cause a nuclear bomb to go off right now. I’m not talking about super intelligence, just automated super idiocy.

    Proof: literally this post is about an idiot letting an AI control their fucking email and it emailed the FBI because it was fucking stupid




  • It’s more that Elon Musk is arguing that “chess is too stupid for me and it will eventually be fully solved” and the other dude is arguing that it’s basically unsolvable given its complexity, and it’s not as simple as he claims.

    The history on this is that Elon Musk thinks he’s a super genius and needs to maintain that narcissistic mindset and one really dumb fucking thing that’s come out of that was he claimed he’s above chess because it’s too “simple” and prefers real genius strategy games like RTS.

    Now I love RTS but he’s just a narcisstic prick trying to feed his ego and his argument doesn’t go beyond that. He’s not good at chess, probably has a shit ELO, so to convince the world he’s still a super genius he has to provide a good reason why he’s not also a chess grandmaster.

    Saying it’s too “simple” and that RTS is more of a showcase kinda solves that conundrum. It allows him to bake in this illusion of being a genius that’s too good for chess, but also probably not great at RTS but in my experience they’re mostly training.

    This is narcissist behavior. They fucking love looking like geniuses, especially him. He wants to be seen as this generation’s Tesla, a little boy genius who just opened a rocket science book one day and made the next gen rocket.

    Narcissists need to pump up that illusion and anything that proves it might be wrong is sort of emotionally dangerous. In his worldview, geniuses are good at chess, so why isn’t he a natural at it? Well, it’s below him, and it will be fully solved by the AI that the boy genius creates. As dumb as that fucking argument is, it’s all about his ego and maintaining the illusion.




  • If this was a software engineer discussing how to architect something, I’d just nod and agree, it’s not 100% correct but whatever, it’s like a rubber ducky method on steroids.

    HOWEVER this is a fucking politician who writes laws. From a national security perspective, this is 100% fucked. There is huge gain to be had out of monitoring their accounts alone, but this is beyond that. It means monitoring and controlling their thought processes.

    All Sam Altman has to do is give a special prompt or fine tuned model to politicians and have it lean towards policies he agrees with. You can puppet these dudes by controlling their internal monologue with LLM if the end up relying on it for this… It’s totally fucked.

    It’s as if it was the 70s and one of your US senators was going to a psychologist who was secretly a USSR agent. It’s that level of fucked.









  • It’s the price you pay if you’re the kind of idiot who has to get the super techy luxury version of something that works amazingly well and functions perfectly fine at $1.

    Literally one of the cheapest parts of tabletop games, and 100% functional at less than a buck or two. It’ll last your entire life too, if you’re careful. If you make a fancy electronic version you can charge whatever the fuck you want because the person already decided they’ll pay more than 100x what they need to for luxury they don’t need.
