Can we have one for the corrupt officials? I mean CEOs are the cancer of this Earth, but the political class feeds it.
Burn tokens! Thiel needs his little empire, it won't build itself.
Lies are the norm for BigTech. BigLies. So why should it play any different?
But isn't AI replacing all of us this time next week?
Musk biggest mistake is that he wanted to start another bubble while the last bubble didn't pop yet. This is against the handbook of a Wall Street thief, bad, bad Elon.
Look at Civilian Conservation Corps, a very interesting solution to all of it, especially that there is a transition period for full automation. Perhaps our job will be to "care" for the outcome in the real world that affects people.
Of course, billionaires have other plans, and are the main obstacle in achieving any sort of social cohesion.
In the West, $325M in bribes is called Monday!
People in charge care the least. Organize and mass strike.
Of course they did, however we need to document this and build a book of cases as it should be looked at in a broader context. In other words, at some point this is a hostile action, and not only 'lobbying'.
For sure, it is not the same though. Also, ML algos will try to estimate the probability that you do anyway without your consent and with silent consent from the governments.
Forming unions is not the same as walking out based on some media propaganda.
Shouldn't ai create ai research at this point?
European elites are so corrupt and complicit that if they say they will do something, you can rest assured the opposite will take place.
AI is about to find out the difference between talking and doing. Exciting!
Yes. There are many other books but in mine a peaceful resistance a'la mass strike is one of the most effective ways to send a message "upstairs". To do so, we need to organize locally and grow structures from the ground up. I an an optimist though.
Right. "Flooding the zone" is a known tactic. And you're discussing a different point entirely. It is also patronizing, you should realize that.
Yes, but sometimes they actually cooperate and coordinate, like we saw in the Epstein files.
And the unpredictability actually has a name and it is "flooding the zone".
I stated that in the post. :)
They make it impossible to predict on purpose. The more the population is disoriented the better for the ultra rich, paradoxically it maximizes control. It is a hostile act of course, but as always they're at war with you but you are not at war with them. Choose offline communities, organize, organize, organize. Peacefully, constructively, remember a coordinated general strike is much more dangerous to them than your prison sentence for throwing a brick at a cop.
For the 3567th time, I'll believe it when I see the fuel prices drop. Anything else is just the Yellow Dog and Jeffrey Dahmer Vance market manipulation talks.
It was one of Phil K. Dick jokes that one day your toaster will make a lost of demands to you.
A shocker!
I've got 12 agents. They're doing the work of 120 engineers, and three CEOs. Lately, one of the agents has been laid off due to AI, and another went to see the Burning Man so another 10 work overtime. The CEO agent became an evangelical Christian, and wrote how cool Peter Thiel is on X, so we no longer need people, the future is here.
But the number up, what wrong? Less word more time, me good CEO.
The issue is not the money, the issue is massive wealth imbalance which is best reflected in the $ class owning the current political players. In other words, oligarchy must be stopped, and democracy defended.
The benefits of AI are not designed to suit you, but the owner class. The plan is for you to be sidelined.
Prescribing meds which you could avoid while receiving 'courses' from Key Opinion Leaders in fancy places from the pharma companies. This ranges from antibiotics through psychotropics and up until the pain meds. You can argue some of it is on the safe side, some may be beneficial, etc. Should you accept an invitation to a conference which will increase your skills?
Psych eval without consent is unethical to say the least. And I disagree, the culture fit is not important at all - the way of working, the products, the attitude towards work all good, but the culture fit is a scam.
I don't think there are more grey areas in software engineering than in medicine. The difference is the feedback loop of the outcome - if you design a dopamine slot machine you will ruin the generation and that's a long arc.
