I'll be surprised if I find out EOs have any authority outside the executive branch of the federal government. Otherwise a presnit could just unilaterally ban abortion, change federal, state, and locals laws and tax rates, disband Congress...
I think that AI, as deployed is harmful to society.
So join ANTIFAI - anti-f*-ai.
Though it might get you labeled as a ter'ist. Especially if you don't buy the products they're pushing.
What's the point of having a national military if you can't use it to pump taxpayer dollars into corporate coffers?
*scenario*
"Fox company, we'll airdrop a licensed mechanic and a licensed parts salesman onto your position around 0930, as soon as they finish repairing some stuff the enemy captured last year and make their way back to our side of the lines. Division says hold your position as best you can until then -- and remind the riflemen not to use their weapons as clubs, as that will void their warranty. It would be better for the overall war effort to let you position be overrun."
"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."
If I ran a business what would I need Confluent to do for me?
They're dragging buzzwords through the water, so see whether they get any nibbles.
Your MBA/PHB eats this shit right up.
To see if people will be more devious and evil if the joker is present
They tried to do Jesus, but passengers kept calling security about a hippy boarding the plane.
A new study has found that people are more likely to act kind towards others when Batman is present â" and not for the reasons you might assume.
[...]
Psychologists from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Italy conducted experiments on the Milan metro to see who, if anyone, might offer their seat to a pregnant passenger.
The kicker? Sometimes Batman was there â" or at least, another experimenter dressed as him. The researchers were checking if people were more likely to give up their seat in the presence of the caped crusader.
And sure enough, there did seem to be a correlation. In 138 different experiments, somebody offered their seat to an experimenter wearing a hidden prosthetic belly 67.21 percent of the time in the presence of Batman.
That's a lot more often than times the superhero wasn't around â" in those cases, a passenger offered a seat just 37.66 percent of the time.
[...]
"Interestingly, among those who left their spot in the experimental condition, nobody directly associated their gesture with the presence of Batman, and 14 (43.75 percent) reported that they did not see Batman at all."
The article goes on to speculate about what is causing people to be more generous.
and peppered the public with constant lies.
That skill proved useful in his later career.
That's my opinion too.
Unfortunately, after a certain amount of actual progress we are now regressing again.
Yeah, we have a long history of not practicing what we preach.
Remember when the USA took pride in being a melting pot?
A new shiny thing after cryptocurrency wound up as a commodity traded like so many others, and not the civilization-changing invention envisioned.
AI looks like it'll be hampered by power generation and delivery (or rather the lack thereof).
On the upside, there'll be ungodly amounts of money spent upgrading and expanding the power grid.
I think a better question is whether we are seeing capitalism's end game: concentration of wealth in the hands of so few they decide that it's in their interest to remove the governments power to regulate them. (As has been stated by more than a few national figures about deregulating to the point the US Federal government "can be drowned in a bathtub")
At which point the wealthy can simply assert the role they already hold: as our feudal lords. They hold all the means of production, all the means of information distribution.
They'll likely even have swarms of slaughter bots to enforce their will. What can the rest of us gonna do to stop them?
First they came for Boeing, and I didn't say anything because I wasn't all fucked up.
Got to be pretty unconventional to count as unconventional in QM.
Being a hippie never goes out of style.
"Can you program?" "Well, I'm literate, if that's what you mean!"
