Comment Year 6 of 7 in the Playstation hardware life cycle (Score 1) 70

Of course sales will be slow, they usually are... people are not as willing to buy a console that will soon be out of date. But, on top of that, Playstation (and other console makers) usually drop prices late in the life cycle for this very reason. Because of the AI house of cards, Playstation instead raised prices. To be honest, it's kind of surprising it's merely 25%.

How does the AI risk compare with the risk of allowing regimes like the IRGC to have nuclear weapons?

Well, some people think AI will extinctify us within four years, whereas if the IRGC gets nukes they'll figure out like everyone else that they can't actually use them except in self defense without getting erased, so the only difference will be that we won't be able to try crush them anymore.

You'd think common sense would make you want to go after the easy and obvious things first.

Yes, tell us how easy the current effort is turning out to be. Someone grabbed a tiger by the tail and can neither subdue it nor let go. The IRGC is probably laughing its ass off.

The people who dumped it there are long dead, or will soon be aging out of life anyways. It's everybody's problem now. Being on the literal bottom of the ocean and "missing" for many decades it's probably not doing much harm down there. If the ocean evaporates enough that a human can get within 2 miles of the stuff, we'll have bigger problems to worry about anyways.
