Even if you live somewhere with good cops, they're still human beings and will often put themselves above duty.
Only the fear of consequences drilled into them during training followed by robust monitoring and security audits will keep it under control (note I didn't say 'prevent entirely').
The range and payload penalties will be enormous.
If you can build an enclosed habitat that can keep a population alive for 1000 years in deep space, you'd find it a lot easier to do the same on Earth. And if that's not an option, Mars, or the asteroid belt. Places where there are resources to exploit to resupply and repair, or even expand.
And that's before you think about how your destination is an entire alien biosphere - you might know the air, water temperature and gravity are all fine... but you won't have any idea if you can digest the locally available flora and fauna, if it'll be toxic, or if it'll be digesting you.
Interstellar colonization is for when your star is cold and all the rocks around it are used up.
'Years' is soft-peddling it. We lack the technology to reach the nearest star to the Sun in less than 80 years, and even that is so expensive and unlikely to succeed that we'd never fund it. A 49 light year trip would take 980 years to get there, and assuming nothing critical broke enroute, it's incredibly unlikely you'd successfully beam any useful data back.
We could eventually build a fusion drive and halve that time. There's still nothing at the end of the trip to justify the investment. Telescopes are the vastly superior tool.
And no, nano probes accelerated by giant laser to near light speed are not realistic. At all.
Reporting doesn't really work. It will be weaponized to suppress competing content and the reporting mechanism will become untrustworthy.
The fundamental flaw in LLMs is
OMG, here we go
that the data used to control the LLM is sent in the same channel as the data it needs to process.
What , yes! Correct. The last hundred people to start a sentence like that were idiots, so sorry I doubted you
Guess the kids who built these LLMs are too young to remember blue boxing.
Of course the kids are well aware of the problem. It is the subject of ongoing research, and a lot harder to fix than we'd think.
. If you don't want an LLM to explain how to synthesize cocaine or sabotage a commercial aircraft navigation system, DON'T PUT THAT IN THE TRAINING DATA.
You seem to be confusing LLM with Google. It like the definition of AI is that it can tell you things not in the training data . Otherwise you just have a database.
gee, when did you get soft, caring about those elderly people. Only call them "conservative fuckwits" until they die, eh?
They died because of the hysterical over-reaction of the bureaucrats. Not because of the industrial accident.
The nuclear disaster killed people too.
False. Possibly one person from lung cancer 4 years later. The tsunami killed twenty thousand. Coal power emissions kill millions.
Blah blah blah. Same mindless response. "You're stupid because you maintain personal relationships and don't consider everyone you know to be your best friend".
You're just a blithering idiot with a shitty handle on English... if you were functionally literate, you'd have noticed I differentiated between friends and acquaintances - just like you did in your second paragraph.
Jobs will be automated to save money - Government services will do it to reduce tax burden, companies will do it to maximize profit, and people who still own things will do it to protect their things. This will result in fewer workers and more desperate poor people for the people still working to protect themselves against. There will be more and more cameras in more and more places, there will be AI monitoring them, and this will continue until there is a strong enough backlash.
It's not the Meta glasses you really need to worry about, it's when the tech is inexpensive enough that people willingly add a Google or Amazon bodycam to their daily fashion choices. When every car has as many cameras as a Tesla. And the government will demand access to all of it.
Everything will be justified and rational every step of the way, and it will very predictably end in oppression.
the Dunning-Kruger effect. Somebody with no clue at all confidentially stating complete lies.
Ain't it funny how many people confidently cite Dunning-Kruger, clearly having never read the paper, and with no clue what they were actually saying?
But yes, don't sleep on that stuff if you can help it.
You will be thinking of the Kramatorsk radiological accident. That was Cs137, a 30 year half-life and a gamma emitter. Scary stuff.
Nuclear disasters are huge. Fukushima was evacuated for a decade. Everyone involved lose their homes. The psychopath CEOs r
Who modded up this incoherent conspiracy nonsense? Fukushima Prefecture has 1.7m people. Fukushima city was never evacuated.
Several towns were, but that was a big mistake causing unnecessary harm to people.
Perhaps AC is confusing it with Chernobyl ?
It might actually be time to work on some skills of worth in a pre-industrial economy; the rich and their robots go one way, the poor get to survive if they can find enough productive land the rich don't claim and patrol with drones.
Once the rich have robot enforcement, there's no way they'll stop taking more and more and marginalizing anyone who tries to stop them.
The sad part is it's the poor who are enabling this - we build the robots, we design the AI. Right now, we are the servants to the ultra-wealthy and any one of us close to them could start a French solution to the issue of billionaires.
We're all so desperate to be rich in the current economic system that we're selling our own futures and we'll enthusiastically drag down anyone who tries to stop us.
The trouble with being punctual is that people think you have nothing more important to do.
