I never understoon why everyone needs to adhere to "morning people"'s schedule. Who says school needs to start at 8? Or office?

Why can't it start at 10 AM? I'm sure "morning people" can find something useful to do in the free wee hours, just like us "not morning people" are expected to find something useful for the late hours.

Problem solved, everyone happy.

Do what you want way up there. The swing between summer and winter amount of sunlight is drastic. However, down here? The change makes it much worse. It takes months just to get back to baseline after the clocks change. I just donâ(TM)t care, either pick one or just move the clocks 30 minutes one last time and keep it there. why has no one thought of this? Did the Canadiens study that? Move the clocks by 30 minutes and keep them there.

How is somene 1,500 miles away going to help you when your car has broken down?

The benefit of AM over everything that is that it works at a very large distance. Very handy when you try to shelter in place after a nuclear strike, or after a hurricane has devastated your state and the one next to it, and you want to stay up to date; not so handy when you need a tow and don't want to wait for a week in yohr cat for it to arrive. (Besides, car AM raduos are receive only.)

Really? How that?

I always thought they were actually the only ones getting it right There isn't any other truly secure way of getting E2E right except for having the users comoare pubkeys. Element is the only one to do that, and I'm impressed how elegantly they did it.

Everyone else just has some crappy heuristics or "phone key" or "shared number" or whatever which at least at one point in the past got hacked.

Don't subsidize shit.

Subsudies are money paid by the state to the producer. The state has its money essentially from middle-class taxes, while "producers" is just a code word for upper-class investors. So subsidies are esentially just abother way of redistributing wealth from bottom to top.

Instead, pay people enough that subsudies aren't necessary. That's wealth distribution from top to bottom, as it should be for a more uniform result.

Oh, you are 100% right There needs to be more mental health for police. The moment a person decides he or she wants to apply for a police job they need to be placed into a mental institution, they are a danger to people around them.

Science woudn't pay for it.

Engineering might, once th AI gets its shit straight.

But the mass market is where the cheese is, when you're as big as Google.

I am fully expecting him to propose renaming America into Trump Land at some point, so he did miss a trick. It should be T & A.

Well, there have to be correct incentives for someone to be in software, I got into it because I liked the idea of being able to control a machine, to be able to tell a computer what to do and it would do it.

Would I have the same interest in it 40 years ago if controlling the computer meant writing in human language that is imprecise and nuanced and receiving back code that I couldn't start to comprehend? Maybe, maybe not, I am not sure actually. If there was still a way for me to do this without the AI I probably would have gone that route but how many people today would do it? I mean people are telling Agents to write their letters for them, not code, just letters. People are telling agents to do all sorts of things, all of which probably saves some time, make some errors, creates some problems while solving others, it is just that none of it is actually understood by the user.

How many AI users understand how any of it works? But that was the point, to understand how the thing works to be able to control it.

It is similar to car mechanics, people who like to tinker with cars, how interesting is it to tinker with a car where you are not allowed to understand half of it and you cannot fix most of it, if something breaks you have to order an entire replacement part because it has a built in computer interface.

If I help you get rid of the gun you shot someone with, technically I didn't commit the murder. I'm still on the hook for it though.

This isn't that different: it's the state that violates constitutional rights. Flock helps with that. They should be treated like the guy helping getting rid of the murder weapon.

Then there's also the penal code.

If any of the idiots programs an "internet worm" which spreads uncontrollably and causes damage, we already have legislation in place to jail them. "Your honorI didn't intend to do damage" doesn't save you these days. (It might've been different in the 1980s, but not anymore.)

So jail whoever fails to control their AI, using the very same laws.

But the problem here ia that it's about money - a *lot* of money - and there is every incentive to lie, deceive, and perform "creative marketing". So we're being held for fools, and everyone is buying into an obvious lie as a marketing strategy. "We can't conteol it" my ass.

Nobody asked the car to kill pedestrians. I just put a brick on the gas pedal.

You're being sarcastic, but you're more right than you think. Either way we don't "need to worry", we need to do something about it.

But the thing is: specifically *what* we should do depends a lot on where the threat ia coming from - the AI, or the guy.

But that's not the AI killing us, it's the idiot who put the AI in charge. Kind of like putting a brick in the gas pedal of a car abd letting it loose in the pedestrian precinct.

And at any rate, it doesn't need 'better" AI to do that. ChatGPT 2 or 3 are already perfectly capable of fucking up at that level. All you need ia someone to build them a paperclip factory.

Ban paperclips. /s

Sweet summer child yourself.
