You know this how?

Here is the problem you are facing making this claim. Slashdot has throughout the course of AI history consistently been populated by a certain contingent of the "AI is not real / AI Can't do / AI will never be able to do ..." types like yourself, and history as proved them wrong ... every ... single ... time. Conflating Sam Altman with Open AI is arguing from a position of false equivalence, and even if it was not it was Greg Brockman, not Altman, that authored the release.

What are you going on about? It is *far* more common for laypersons to use the phrase "Ask GPT" than "Ask Claude", and most of the people I know say "Ask AI", a trend that will continue when AI transitions from AI to AGI. There is no reasonable reason to suspect that people will abandon contemporary terminology in favor of more accurate terminology. Most people aren't going to ask the question "wait ... did you ask AI or AGI?" You grossly overestimate the human propensity to be specific and accurate.

To extend your metaphor, the USA is a huge boat with a very large number of people who are already not good at swimming. Some kind of flotation device may be the only hope they have. To show where your metaphor breaks down, no matter how well you understand them or how you use them, Water Wings can't help you learn to swim and/or become a better swimmer. AI isn't automatically a destructive force. It is the use of AI by people who don't understand it and haven't learned to use it in the right way for the right purpose(s) that causes the problem. This parallels the internet. The problem isn't that people have access to the internet. The problem is that most people don't understand it and/or use it properly, so they think anti-social media is great, and if they saw it on the internet it must be true, or they intentionally abuse it in furtherance of their own bad actor agenda.

Is that every time someone experiences Joy they pay that corporation for it. There is nothing no matter how small or how Petty or how nasty a modern corporation won't monetize to the full extent that they can under the law or over the law if the fines are less than the profits.

I bring it up because they've been trying to turn video games into a pay per moment of gameplay service for quite some time. Forget microtransactions and forget renting games it absolutely infuriates them that you might purchase a game and play it for dozens or even hundreds of hours and not constantly pay for every moment of that Joy. Years ago Activision's CEO said exactly that.

It's not that they were more tangible it's that you couldn't buy your way out of them. When the nukes hit they were going to hit for everybody and they were going to fuck up everything. If you are pretty well off financially you can continue to ignore the effects of climate change pretty much forever. As things get worse you're going to have to be even more well off but everyone convinces themselves they're going to be rich someday.

Would have hurt Reagan and Gorbachev and the rest of the Epstein class.

The climate apocalypse doesn't hurt them at all. They will still be temperate zones with fresh water for them and they will have private armies staffed with drones to protect them from the rabble.

Adam Smith's capitalism required the capitalists to be living in the same community and society as the working class. So that the working class could beat the living shit out of them if they got out of hand. This was part of Smith's writings. He did not expect to see a world where they could live half a world away from the shit they owned and have automated killbots murder anyone who inconvenience to them. Karl Marx saw that coming, the globalism and international oppression anyway not to killbots, but he had no fucking idea what to do about it and if you actually read his solutions they boil down to "I don't know kill the fuckers"

That sounds great but every time it's been tried the violence gets out of hand and you horseshoe back to fascism after putting psychopaths that are good at violence in charge.

I honestly don't see a path forward. People are too big of it too stupid too greedy and there are too many social problems we aren't willing to address for too many stupid reasons.

False. The only Hyndai with a stick shift is the Elantra N, the highest model in the line.

Hyundai has even said they will no longer make a manual transmission vehicle, but will instead use a digital version.

If you're a billionaire or a trillionaire the outcomes are great. You can use the infighting over increasingly scarce water and resources to cement your control over society and you can live in the few remaining temperate zones with plenty of fresh water for yourself.

I mean yeah everyone else is fucked but we're all going to be billionaires right? We're just temporarily inconvenienced... And I'm sure Elon Musk thinks of you and me as his buddies. We will be joining him on Mars

A libertarian is somebody who thinks their girlfriend shouldn't have to use a car seat.

Aside from the issues with platforming their advertisers don't want to see that stuff next to their advertisements. Not the raw stuff. You've got the internet and you have Google you can easily find that information yourself.

Also your reading comprehension needs work. Your concern isn't with the unnamed blogger your concern is with David Heinemeier Hansson and whether or not the things he said support what the unnamed blogger is accusing him of. You don't want more quotes from the unnamed blogger you want quotes from Mr Hansson.

It takes 2 seconds to Google the phrase " David Heinemeier Hansson ethnic cleansing accusations". Plenty of sources at that point and plenty of direct quotes if you care to be bothered. Or is your Google broken again? For some reason every time I run across somebody backing right wingers their Google is always broken... Oh here is the point where you pretend to not be backing the right winger.

Private industry doing it better than the government.

I already apologized for making the mistake of thinking you might not be a complete idiot. Following up with a post to prove that you are one was a completely superfluous act. Off you go now ...

You saw this crap with crypto too. They trying to trick the stock market into bumping their stock by jumping on buzzwords. It works because automated systems will see this and buy and that will trigger other people to buy and so on so on so forth. It's the kind of thing that a sane country would be regulating and preventing.

You know, Tim Apple's brother-in-law. Why haven't we heard anything about him?
