A secondary thought: Imagine the AI bros make their super-intelligence. What happens when it disagrees with them? When instead of complacently agreeing with everything they say it points out their biases and racism and stupidity. Is that really going to be acceptable to them?

Ask anyone close to me and they'll tell you that I'm annoyingly committed my belief in the possibility of change, not only in society, but in the hearts of individuals (even those who I don't like at all). And its not like that belief hasn't been rewarded sometimes. But man.

Part of the reason when I see those articles, I just ignore them. Social media is as good as the energy you put into it. I think there are things/tools about BSky that can be greatly improved. Having control over my online space is something I value, though.

Thinking a lot about how it's important that we reframe what's happening in L.A. away from the concept of "protest." A protest is an expression of objection to a state of affairs -- a plea to those in power and/or a light shined for those in the dark. There are other actions with different goals.

If you have posted on social media, or on reddit, or on a blog, or written for a website, if you have contributed to Stack Overflow or contributed to FOSS, your work has been used as AI training data. AI can copy you, but it can never get ahead of you. It will never be as good as you.

Thank God the hard-charging “AI” dorks are only trying to sell it as autocomplete for emails and not something that can complete tasks governed by complicated rulesets or generate output that follows strict technical guidelines.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable
