Why is Musk’s bullet shield ranked above Trump?

Shareholders can sue if the board doesn’t do the thing that will maximize shareholder value. Probably the basic underlying problem with companies that sell stock.

defusing bombs in VR

Someone has a virtual copy of “Keep talking and nobody explodes” and a Quest headset and by jobe they are going to use it.

May I introduce you to Terry Pratchett’s Boots theory?

If you can use AI in a way that people at the AI company can’t tell that you used AI, then they need you working at that AI company.

That looks like the character from that meme where the cat is driving the car singing an annoying song and someone that looks like death is sitting in the passenger set quitely.

Sues. Lawyers do discovery. Tencent refuses. Court fines Tencent in contempt, rules in favor of the government. Tencent tries to bribe Trump with something.

I feel like in a post-global pandemic world, where we have AIs that can pass the Turing test, VR world’s where we can do global virtual raves, and if one cobbles enough cutting edge tech together one can say “earl Grey, hot” and a 3d printer can print up a model of a tea cup… I think scifi writers have to come up with what is NEXT.

No more “Oh this logical robot which can either be a metaphor for autism or enslaved people want to be free and human”. Give us projections on our current technology and social evolution. Shows set in the year 2200 shouldn’t just be dealing with the emergence of AI and still have only straight nuclear families.

I can understand “not doing things” like censoring anti-LGBT stuff, because that cost money. But this COST money to change.

If this was just McDonalds, shouldn’t there be a Burger King that didn’t raise prices to try to gain back market share?

And if this was all fast food joints, is there a common reason besides greed that it happened? If it was just greed, you would think one of their competitors could WALMART (lower prices until competition dies) them.

Manager: Before we put these models into something that can implement code, we should test what it would do.

LLM: Tries to do bad things, but it can’t because that functionality hasn’t been implemented

Researchers: We found it doing bad things. Perhaps fix that before function implementation

This thread: The researchers are lying! It didn’t do bad things because it can’t! That isn’t implemented!

Manager: Yes… hence the test.

Wait, I came here to make a joke that he had the same name as the former Lib Dem leader… it actually is him?

Amazon: You want to search for laptops with Graphics cards? Want to filter by RTX 3000s, 2000s, or 1600s?

Me: What about RTX 4000s?

Amazon: “What is a RTX 4000?”

Let the charter schools try this first. Eventually something like this will be integrated into common education, but the first attempts are guaranteed to be disasters. Let those fall on 1/4 of learning time of a small subset of Arizonian charter school students and not “all California public school students” or the like.
