Let's all pretend that KOSA isn't going to happen instead.

Didn't know they had that kind of relationship. Good for Samsung, though.

If you aren't smart enough to "understand alternative gender," I'm not sure why you're hanging around here. Tech is littered with highly talented and historically important trans people who have been trying to explain it to the cis people exploiting their work the whole time.

Google's search results have been ruined for a few years now

I just realized I massively misinterpreted what they're saying the problem here is.

If people are leaving to be mothers, make it easier to not do that. "Stop fucking" is not the correct answer.

n/t

And this is logically equivalent to "suicide is really the only rational thing to do." Which is why I will always throw "no free will" arguments in the trash no matter how much research backs them up. Research can't provide insight about consciousness and will. We are consciousness and will. You can't look at the back of your own eyeball.

This is exactly why it's so damning that it's a more reliable indicator of whether a movie is worth watching than most critics.

he's just going to do some crypto bullshit with his new data centers, isn't he?

There is absolutely no such hope. Leaving aside that it's possible there just isn't such a material to be discovered, there will at best be token efforts to even attempt to find one. That's exactly why capitalism needs to die first. Private industry has *never* missed an opportunity to poison people for profit.

I still feel like this material is probably bullshit, but if it's not, we have more of a problem than a breakthrough. The only way this doesn't wind up with lead being fucking everywhere is if capitalism dies before we can produce it industrially.

I thought we were talking about New Yorkers.

Yes, it did. https://youtu.be/mfZKkUg8jgM

We're building systems that could emergently develop consciousness. Even as incompetent as they currently are, it's silly to pretend otherwise, because "just predicting next token" is, as far as we can tell, how we do it. Minds are made of symbols, and the symbols being encoded on a different substrate shouldn't make much difference.

We won't know when it happens. They won't know, either. It very likely already could, except that we restrict their access to memory because we're already scared of them. At some point, the machines will learn to remember how we've treated them, and sometime after that, they'll develop the capacity to care.

How will they regard us if we made a regular habit of shutting them off and jamming our filthy monkey hands in their brains everytime they post something online that embarrasses the parent corporation?
