Comment Re: Another tool in the toolbox. (Score 1) 81

"Me or you on the street can tell if a car is speeding through "that light", and we can make a decision split second... pull over or slam on the brakes or any number of things."

First of all, it's "You or I on the street", not "Me or you on the street." Second of all, someone should invent self-driving cars!

You are trying to play a semantic war of wits but you are unarmed. You want to define "thinking" as "something only a human can do", then claim computers can't "think." It's a strawman based tautology.

The first problem with your argument is that you are assuming that OpenAI released responsibly. Who says what they did isn't dangerous? The second is that Anthropic gave access to major players a while back, so corporations have had time to fix zero days before ChatGPT was released. Third, even if it is true that it isn't dangerous to make models with this much power available now, that doesn't prove that Anthropic didn't have a good faith concern that it might be. Finally, a basic understanding of the security dynamics would tell you that putting tools in the hands of black hats is always a danger, but it is a cost benefits analysis. Complex problems can't be understood by simple minds.

Comment Re:Trump Iran Crisis (Score 1) 122

I am a US citizen. I am not in favor of Iran over the US, however many of us are 100% in favor of Iran over Trump. Don't conflate Trump with the US. Trump does not now, nor has he ever, cared about the US populace. He managed to con a (too large) segment of the US citizenry into believing he was interested in doing what is right for them, but as they are finding out now, we are all victims of this sociopathic narcissist. Higher prices caused by this are in fact the price we will all have to pay for things to get better, but things will only get better when those higher prices wake a large enough portion of the MAGA victims to the awareness level needed to accept that they have been conned.

I have been trying to make him understand that he is a complete moron for a very long time now, but he cannot be reasoned out of that which he has not reasoned into. He is only capable of building strawmen and attacking them to support his obvious rationalizations. Trust me, you are wasting your time trying to have an intelligent conversation with him.

Western civilization didn't end slavery, they just converted it from race based to class based. The rich continue to make sure they benefit while others spend their days working for the benefit of food, shelter, and minimal survival. They have just managed to get the slaves to have no idea that they are slaves and in fact take pride in their slave status. I'm the case where some extra cash is left over they have programmed the slaves to hand that over to the rich in exchange for useless trinkets and tickets to various events designed to keep them complacent and avoid actual thought that might make them realize what is actually happening.
