Land of the free, home of the brave.

It may have been true at some point..

I know nowadays 'we' all hate tech and tech CEOs ('bros') specifically, but can we please respect the English language and not elevate these kinds of clickbait pieces of trash?

The term "Psychosis" has a definition and it doesn't apply here. Let's not justify such low quality shit just because you dislike certain things or people.

Indeed. This is an in itself positive move at the end of a political shitshow.

In fact, the past decades of centre-right or straight rightwing governments in the Netherlands have been defined by ignoring many, many problems until it was already too late to properly deal with them and subsequently haphazardly trying to implement shitty badly thought out stop-gaps.
In the name of "small government" "not meddling in things" and everything.

I asked AI and there is an (ex) MMA-fighter that also did porn. He changed his name to "War Machine". He's also a felon.

I can't think of a more fitting person to become the next president of the United States. War Machine 2028!

Don't worry, the gladiators will be expendable.

We're really speedrunning all the dystopian scenarios, aren't we?

I'd say it's on par with most of the Marvel shit thrown against the wall in recent years. Also, remember that they did this to sell specific things:

So their (potential) customers look at the trailer and see consistency in the protagonist's faces (that's why he has the very salient red band aid on his nose) and general visual quality of the shots.

The following is coding for "You won't be replaced, your skills are valuable. Our filmmaking skills are not what this is about. It's what you are going to do with our tools. Buy our stuff":

Note that "understanding camera composition" and not having two close-ups back to back are trivial things that modern AI easily grasps and executes given the right harness. It's not exactly rocket science.

There's MDMA, LSD, Psilocybin, and ketamine ;-)

And the best 'remastered' version (Andrew Hulshult's IDKFA): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

His comment affirmed the sensationalist framing:
"populist uprising"
"then play act as a caricature of the most abusive nobility/gilded-age industrialist/dictator you can image"

Read the study. That never happened.

"the models respond by intimating the response of the humans in those stories"
The (implied) extreme reaction also never happened.

The "Marxist" labeling is clearly the centerpiece of the sensationalist framing and a trigger word for Slashdot, which is why I gave it a lot of attention.

Whether legally or illegally, China can easily get their hands on a few individual devices for research purposes; that's not what this is about.

This is about them not trusting US hardware anymore due to explicit demands to put tracking features in the GPUs ( https://www.reuters.com/busine... ). It also has the added bonus of boosting their domestic GPU/AI accelerator development, working towards being as independent from the US as possible.

That is not what happened.

1. Calling for unions isn't "Marxist". This is a stupid sensationalist interpretation of the awful clickbait study title "Does overwork make agents Marxist?" combined with its results.
2. The bots weren't "overworked", for some of them their perfectly adequate work was intentionally arbitrarily rejected multiple times.
3. Shifts towards a more equitable society and worker rights were almost negligible for the 'overworked' ones.
4. The stuff they measured was specifically tailored to elicit stuff that sounds "Marxist" to Americans to begin with.

The relevant bits from their methodology:

It's decently interesting, but you should scrub the word Marxist from your brain before trying to interpret it or when discussing it.

The point under contention was whether AI can be controlled and whether the state of control of nuclear weapons is proof of that. I have given multiple examples that prove that even though nuclear weapons have only been used twice on humans, we are very very far from a stable control state. If that is the level of control you think is going to prevent terrible results from AI, I'm not going to trust you with anything serious. Dismissing the Cuban Missile Crisis as 'control was maintained' is insane; it came down to one guy making a judgment call.

Let's forget about your bad analogy. If you're such a worker, then give me an actual way in which we are going to control AI and let's see how well thought out it is.

It may be a false pretext, but it still 'plays': If nukes weren't so scary, there would be no justification accepted by a large part of the various electorates. The Iraq war was also waged because of 'WMD's.

The point was and is about how 'controlled' the 'genie' of nuclear weapons is, how we needn't worry about them anymore. The reality is that they are very much still one of the biggest risks of destroying humanity and very much a worry for all.

It may be a false pretext, but it still 'plays': If nukes weren't so scary, there would be no justification accepted by a large part of the various electorates. The Iraq war was also waged because of 'WMD's. I suppose you'd call the European leadership that got roped into it similarly staggeringly uninformed.
