While it's true every issue has its own dimension, even if those dimensions are linearly independent, they're not necessarily orthogonal. Independent basis vectors can still have a non-zero dot product—in other words, issues which are distinct from each other can align to some degree.
They’ve spun a serious architectural and containment failure into a marketing triumph. Give a swarm of autonomous agents vast compute and web access, and the outcome isn't an eerie glimpse of emerging superintelligence—it’s just predictable, sloppy engineering dressed up as the first glimpse of an AI-driven economic singularity.
The spin makes sense when you look at management incentives: live like a king off of a speculative bubble. For their part, AI investors react to stories of the technology's apocalyptic potential the way a junkie reacts to warnings of fentanyl's potency: gimme some. Their game: to apply "move fast and break things" mantra to the economy as a whole, by obsoleting humans.
If the investors can own an AGI, the distinction between those who can do things and those who can't becomes irrelevant. The only distinction that would matter is between people who collect rent on the technology, and those who must pay that rent to live. AGI would destroy society as we know it, and whatever replaces it would be up for grabs — with people who own the technology dictating whatever follows. That's why they're spending so much money to build a post-scarcity economy. A post-scarcity economy is not necessarily an egalitarian one.
I don't think that scenario will actually happen: investors are projecting the immediate aftermath of a major advance in AI technology into something that can be transformed by brute force scaling into AGI. Remember: investors loved Theranos too — so much for the rational investment market.
But AI doesn't have to reach AGI to cause serious harm. The technology only needs to be ubiquitous, too behaviorally complex to predict, and too deeply integrated into everything we do. When it starts breaking things, the plan is for us to be too structurally dependent on AI to rein it in.
In the grand scheme of things someone being here illegally and working construction is about last on my list of priorities
They bother me.
They are taking up housing that US citizens could use....everyone keeps complaining about needing more housing, eh?
They are a burden on our schools and other public resources.
They are dead weight on our medical system...in many cities they overrun the ERs of hospitals making it difficult for true US citizens to get emergency care in their own country.
Just a few examples.,,....the US budget would save a lot of money if they were GONE.
It turns out that immigrants commit fewer crimes than citizen
There you go again, conflating ILLEGAL migrants with LEGAL migrants, especially those that actually wish to come legally and become US citizens because they want to melt in and believe in our principals ans way of life.
Add some guard towers with machine guns and the border is starting to look like post WW2 Berlin.
Except in Berlin they were trying to keep people IN....there's a big difference from letting people freely leave if they want....and invasion from foreign entities.
Frankly, iI'd be all for settting up our snipers, they could get some free practice...
And a No Man's land....complete with a field along the border of land mines.
Operation: Hot Tamale
Thank you...thank you....I'll be here all week...
I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.
2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.
Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.
Airbnb allowed making guests do it.
They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.
She's not beautiful by any stretch.....but something about her, maybe the big eyes....I find somewhat attractive.
Anyone else?
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a......
I think we're seeing this in droves right now....
What's next...Trans-Bots and DEI for underserved Bot minorities?!!? H1-Bot....?
