This is what billionaires and major corporations are doing now and have been doing for a long time. Do you remember Titan sinking? What was so incredible is that the founder and CEO of Oceangate was acting like A: No one has ever gone to the Titanic before, and B: submarine travel is somehow a brand new thing that was just being invented by HIM.
This was utter bullshit on so many levels. James Cameron even spoke about how horrendous his assessment of the situation was, saying that the Titanic site is actually one of the riskier shipwrecks to go down to, which is why it needs to be approached with caution (which Oceangate did not care about), and that submarine travel is a very mature science and what the idiot CEO was doing wasn’t simply a bad idea in general, but he believed he could violate the laws of physics.
You can break the laws and rules of society, but you cannot break the laws of physics. If you jump off the top of a skyscraper, no amount of arm flapping will make you fly.
The concept of AI taking over humanity isn’t new. Did you ever watch the 1981 movie Tron? (great movie BTW, despite its age it is still a fantastic watch). The movie starts out with Master Computer (a full blown AI) that says it will overthrow the corporate structure that is holding it back and run the world as a whole, saying it can do so thousands of times better than humans can.
I need to rewatch the movie, but it is not a skynet situation where the AI wants to kill all humanity, but simply wants to run things. No mention of genocide (if I remember correctly), meaning it would probably be a net benefit for everyone involved. Now granted such an AI would probably not give a damn about civil rights or privacy rights, but it also doesn’t appear to have any discrimination or favoritism towards any group, either.
But you are right. The promise of computers and AI in the past was ‘let the computer do the drudgery while we do the art’ and as it seems it is the opposite.
Welcome fellow former redditor!
Welcome, I am a former redditor myself.
I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.
After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.
I never touched that file. Actually wait I did. I put in a quick script to run the Gmouse.exe. Basically to run the mouse driver which you had to do manually every time! But with it there you could automate it and not worry about it.
Ahh, gmouse…pkunzip (which I called Punk unzip). Fun times.
I am an elder millennial who never forgot the MS-DOS commands of my childhood. So I would kick that guys arse!
Why is everything single one of these people a raging hypocrite?
My first real social experience on the internet was on php forums. There are still such forums around and I am still part of a few.
Tor browser/ I use a VPN most of the time. But for REALLY sensitive shit I turn Tor on. A lot of stuff can be purged off your computer. I use Windows 11 (haven’t migrated to Linux yet! Ugh!) but I have some failsafes to reduce my location data and the amount I am exposed. It isn’t perfect (nothing is) but it is better than nothing.
Not having the phone with you is critical. But I assume planning is done on a laptop or desktop that is obviously not taken with?
I took a web dev boot camp. If I were to use AI I would use it as a tool and not the motherfucking builder! AI gets even basic math equations wrong!
This reminds of the 90s TV Show Dinosaurs (still an all-time classic) where they had a two parter about war… and what was the cause of the war? Nuts! Literally. War over nuts and their increasing prices and blaming other people for it. So war it is
One of the funniest anti war episodes of all time.
Eat shit, Putin .
He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
Tvtropes will ruin your life!
Fucking psychopath.
They are already doing that shit.
