Just got a pixel fone, man guys, these things are kinda invasive. It's digging into your mind and trying to connect you to the matrix.

Was having trouble with the unlock button, and after a bit, it sends you an alert, having trouble with the fingerprint scanner, try adding your face for face unlock.

This thing is measuring and monitoring everything.

I didn't have to put my fingerprint or face id on my pixel, Just a passcode. I generally don't put those things on them, but that's superstition on my part, since both fingerprint and face id are both stored locally on the device from what I know, so they can't access that data remotely.

Anker 733 battery bank, so if you have too much load on this thing, it stops charging itself because of overheating, as the ac-dc is bolted right next to the battery. Normally that heat would be in a separate adapter.

So, it's supposed to save you a cable, but in reality, it's not dual use. It can't perform all of its functions all-at-once, so WHY have this device at all? If you just get a regular gan-adapter and a separate battery bank, they can both run at full cap.

Why didn't they just add a heatsink/ fan to this.

Chat GPT sky voice, it only sounds a tiny bit like scar jo.

They're doing media circus for the publicity.

You're bothered by that detail? I am bothered by almost everything there is about OpenAI.

ScarJo had been approached by OpenAI to do the voice for them. She had declined. Two days before the event, they asked again: indicating that they had the model ready.
Friends of ScarJo who know here voice better than anyone else said Sky sounded distinctly like her.
OpenAI did it. There is no question about it.

It's CEO has allegedly sexually abused his younger sister, force-fed her Zoloft and withheld her money for medical treatment.
There are numerous other signs and accounts of him being a narcissistic psychopath. Another controversy he is involved in is the cryptocurrency WorldCoin.

The AI that they want to build would require so vast resources that it would practically require its own power plants, which is utterly irresponsible in this time of climate change.

Massive copyright infringement and plagiarism. Training on the open Internet, requiring people top "opt out", despite regulations in many countries requiring companies to instead "opt in". Except when they don't care, and knowingly use content from pirate sites to train on, including illegal copies of e-books. (the "Books2" dataset)

OpenAI has been infiltrating bodies for "AI safety". They are trying to push things through before people in charge of legislation has got wind about what it is really about. Intentionally muddle the concepts of copyrights and plagiarism: (The way OpenAI works is not "fair use". Also, "fair use" applies only to copyright, not to plagiarism, and is not even a concept in many countries)

The team responsble for AI safety ("alignment") at OpenAI resigned a few days ago in protest against the board not giving them the ability to do their job.

Did not know about the ceo wtf (except he is a ceo of a large company, I would never be surprised if they turn out to be a psychopath lol)

The copyright infringement is so obviously not fair use that it's made me realise that chatgpt and midjourney and these other platforms probably won't exist in the near future because of how many lawsuits have and will be coming their way.

All high lvl bosses are psychopaths, or become one over time.

Mid bosses are a bit better, but they've got the bug for sure.

I don't think personality failures play much of a role in how we should evaluate our next steps in AI. Human beings can not rule- itself, we're at death's door with regards to the climate implosion. AI, might have a shot at preserving our legacy.

Anyway, electricity isn't the biggest concern right now, if we don't deal with animal agriculture, there is no technology viable in the next 50 years to meaningfully remove CO2 / Methane.

Even if all industrial output stopped, which would put us back into the stone age, we would still hit 2.0-2.5C, that much is baked in.

Too rapid in fossil fuel reduction has also produced intensive short term warming swings (heatwaves), as it reduces the aerosol soot layer which is masking approximately 0.2C worth of existing warming.

The hardest part about learning a new skill is not knowing what questions to ask to get the information needed to actually learn.

Human beings can not rule- itself

I agree with the first statement but not the second.

I submit that "personality" is actually how we DO rule or control ourselves, what makes a person or a society who or what he or it is. Otherwise we would basically be "animals" (and yes, I do think that animals have rudimentary personalities of their own) .... So what does this make of contemporary American society? I would say schizophrenic, that is, divided into irreconcilably opposing perspectives.

By definition I am not sure that I would accept that AI can have "personality" - at least not that which was (at least) based on whatever the programmer put in there to begin with. So, does that mean that I think of AI as more similar to an animal than a person? Yes, probably.

Go up the chain of command, notice it's all human beings. no one human being can control those below him without some degree / form of violence.

It can be physical violence, financial violence, emotional violence.

The evolutionary purpose to violence is to OFFSET the potential productivity loss from low agreement/ low processing bandwidth.

That is why it follows us around, it's a necessary process in the concept of society.

Tp4 is aware there is a better way, but it might not be time efficient enough.

better .... efficient

There is no doubt that the most efficient form of governance is complete totalitarianism.

Discussion and persuasion require considerable time, and invariably muddy the results.

Been ****ting and puking nonstop all day and I am so dehydrated, but every time I drink some water I immediately puke it back up

guess I'll just die

Why people wurk, it's either the #1 or #2 worst thing ever.

Then we take this silly thing called money, and buy food and stuff that's bad for us, rapidly killing the planet.

My work implementing MFA for pretty much every system we use. We recently popped in major upgrade for an old system and enabled SSO with our key IM system used by the entire business and what ends happening?

We're forced to enable a separate MFA to sign in.... such a waste of time. It's also getting to a point where they are asking for biometrics to be enabled on a phone before it even allows that MFA app to be used - its like 4x layers of "identity security" just so they can push the risk of stuff going wrong back on the individual worker.

Good lord.

Fingerprint readers are not even reliable on a large portion of phones out there.
It has never worked reliably on mine, so I have it disabled.

Add to that how easy it is to make a reproduction of a finger good enough to fool the reader in a phone.
