Your assessment seems spot on to me. I’m connecting some projected dots to late stage capitalism. Perhaps the AIs will trickle down and such if we hold off on regulations.

Of course it’s possible for the government to impose regulations without sticking their face in and motorboating the AI’s contents. Google, Microsoft et al. would love to prevent this from happening because they actually do have their faces in there.

Hmm, this makes me think of the tradition on certain parts of the internet where people publicly announce the name and crime of this convicted rapist. They’ll explain where he’s currently living, the name he’s trying to go by, and bars he was seen at. This activity seems to stem from the outrage at the excessive leniency he was shown by the judge, although could also be protecting other potential victims.

I wonder if this kind of vigilante doxxing would fall under the scope of such a law, especially when his name is already in so many publications.

Yeah, I took a look at the code they used in the article that might help someone generate functional attacks. A rando experimenting without permission would likely get banned from the service.

I just tried this on ChatGPT, it doesn’t work.

Don’t give France any ideas.

I remember seeing those videos when they came out, and they were unsettling to say the least. I definitely have my thoughts on the case, but I think by far my strongest thought is that it’s not up to randos like me to decide. I hate what the #metoo movement morphed into. There’s someone else in here calling other SA survivors insane psychopaths, and this is the norm now. It’s like most people think it’s black and white, and that you can tell who’s guilty or innocent from a couple of youtube videos. The reality is that unless you’re the accuser or the accused, you don’t know. And unless you’re the judge and jury, it’s not up to you nor should it be.

My mind immediately went to Karen Wetterhahn. Usually it’s just you, but sometimes it is mercury.

I was going to ask where’s Facebook’s CEO, but we all know Data can walk the ocean floor and take no damage.

People who have good reasoning skills can see it for what it is, so we need to collectively get into the habit of calling out disingenuous manipulation and put a stop to it. Rather than focusing on refuting each specific point, draw attention to the most ridiculous points, refute one or two, then stop engaging entirely because it is self-defeating.

The fact that this man is still given televised platforms after everything is unreal. All that does is give the illusion that there is substance to his manipulation. He needs to be shunned to his echo chamber and the world needs to move on.
