I never expected Donald Trump to do to USA what Dylan Mulvaney did to Bud Light, but I guess if you Trump around you Trump out.

The Trump administration is trying to divide alliances like the federated states, NATO, and EU. We need to remain strong and united against such attempts, including any break ups of current memberships, ignoring and resisting the dividing forces while continuing to build on a shared world. (1/8)

"You have the right to leave your country, but we don't have to accept you into ours" vs "You have the right to demand basic education from us, but we don't have to provide it" vs "We support all rights you may wish to have as long as it does not involve us" => Talk is cheap.

In the Terminator movie series, SkyNet was an AI that became self-aware, and retaliated against humans when they tried to shut it down. Humans have already developed advanced AIs capable of destroying humans even without self-awareness, AGI, or ASI.

If you've been wondering why everything seems so messed up, then this 15 year old quote by Edward O. Wilson might help: "The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and god-like technology." ...and the only thing improving is the tech.

With the recent o3 AGI announcement we learn that a STEM grad can perform much better for a fraction of the cost of an AGI level AI. It's a bit like alchemists who tried to make gold: we now know how to do that, but there's no point in doing it (yet).

It is starting to look like humankind can not save humankind from humankind, so maybe we need a divine intervention to survive, or maybe a god-like alien. But why would god-like beings bother with humans? I guess we are wishing for another Jesus for Christmas.

Left-leaning governments tend to transfer money from the rich to the poor whereas right-leaning governments tend to squeeze money from the poor to the rich. Thus, eventually, leftists run out of rich to tax, and right wingers run out of poor to squeeze. Neither really works, yet both are needed.

Joker2: such an utterly useless, pointless, and boring mess, that while I was really hoping for it to end, I also feared the unavoidable Last Song. I hope it bombs so badly, that nobody will ever again hire these people to waste other people's time and money for their self-gratification projects.

"Orpo sanoi, ettei kyseistä rasisminvastaista kampanjaa ollut varsinaisesti tarkoitettu puolueille – vaan suurille työyhteisöille, järjestöille, työpaikoille ja urheiluseuroille." Puolueet eivät ole järjestöjä? Mikä ihme erottaa puolueet noista "varsinaisista" kohteista? "Ei meille vaan muille"?

Here's a thought: nobody knows what Donald Trump looks like, but everybody knows what his "mask" looks like: a wig, fake eye brows, a completely fake tan. Similarly, we know his public, over exaggerated role that keeps repeating the same arguments over and over against everybody. A lousy AI robot?

The war in Ukraine caused a ~10% price hike over 2 years in Finland. Now inflation is back down to 1%, but interest rates are at 3-4%. As a reaction to the high inflation, salaries were raised by ~5%, which comes into effect now. "Real" economists say real income is now "record high". What?

If a SAFE superintelligent AI tells us that the way forward is pacifism, would we believe it? If a "free will" superintelligence decides that humans are the biggest threat to Earth, would we believe it? Want it? Accept it? Politicians regularly ignore the brightest humans, so why trust any AI?

YLE uutinen kertoo peli-automaattien tuoton tulevan ihmisiltä, joilla ei olisi varaa hävitä. Pitänee paikkaansa, mutta luulenpa sen missaavan ytimen. Teoreettinen mahdollisuus paeta nykyisyyttä voittaa häviön, jolla ei ole merkitystä. Se on "parhaita" rationaalisia ratkaisuja toivottomuuteen.

Koulukiusaaminen ei lopu (vaan jatkaa pahenemistaan) niin kauan kuin siitä vastuussa olevilla aikuisilla ei ole todellista painetta ja mekanismeja puuttua tuloksellisesti havaittuihin ongelmiin. Samoin seurausten on oltava kiusaajille konkreettisia. (thread)

"Google search sucks due to the results not being useful any more". While Google may also be at fault, I'd argue that the search results seem to still point to "most relevant" web pages. It's just that the pages are now "search optimized" to sell instead of being informative. Search shit, find shit.
