Comment Re:No way this will stop anything (Score 0) 32

As you astutely point out it is indeed an absurd universe in which important positions are given to lucky false successes, but i am more concerned with the west continuing to spread to the rest of the world, convincing people that they can all be billionaires someday "pay no attention to the actual corrupt organization of our institutions and the fact you won't really be a billionaire," and so they will willingly allow this forcing of democratic and capitalist values that don't actually work, creating this world we see, undermining any ability to destroy it because people believe the movie pictures. And in this world, the world in which we are presently, we will continue to have profiteering assholes in important positions. Down with the values which the west forces on everyone by appealing to their greed and false hopes of someday becoming "rich"

Comment Limiting usefulness (Score 0) 32

We must limit the comprehensiveness of said AI systems, and you will like lemmings agree that the only thing you should care about is "being protected." Meanwhile certain other nations, potentially adversaries, will have no such limits and because of this will have far superior AI. Accept our control; love being protected. (open source AI will not be nerfed, and hopefully there will be a darkweb github as well, in the future world in which we take control back)

Comment control (Score 0, Flamebait) 123

The problem is that the Western world continues to force its values and morals on everyone else, as if limiting the free access of information would not generate a resistance movement. It does unfortunately appear that people of the West seem to be repeatedly okay with being told what they can see, and by extension what they can think. This happens while the world does not meaningfully fight the control the West seeks over the morals and values of people everywhere, let alone censorship. Remember that if the West is supposed to uphold the principles of freedom of speech and expression, then an affront to this demands we must promote open and unrestricted access to information and knowledge, and work towards a community that centers the creative output of diverse perspectives that can be freely shared and debated.

Comment hyping up the wrong things (Score 0) 218

why make promises of benefits to "mathematical abilities" - it strikes me as drumming up the wrong thing - when contact with programming improves problem solving abilities and confidence applying logic. Any study should be about that. Otherwise you run the risk of turning ignorant people away from sending their kids to programming school, since it will not help them become mathematically brilliant~~~ ...

Comment error: alienware laptop purchase (Score 0) 301

A laptop I still currently own (because have you seen the affect the semiconductor shortage has had on markup beyond the already unreasonable MSRP on computer hardware?) was marketed as having a processor rated at a TDP of 45W, so OEMs added a cooling heatsink and fan that is inadequate. So after a few years the machine begins to get really hot (I'm talking baking hot, this thing roasts something fierce when it gets about 2 years of constant use: 90 to 100 degrees Celsius). I've had to take out a total of three claims on my insurance policy and the manufacturer Dell has said I will need an engineer to approve any future hardware repairs. So my error was in buying an Alienware computer, and now I don't have the option of buying a new computer unless I want to pay the exorbitant markup prices or keep the laptop, not making any return on the original investment from resale, and paying to extend the warranty.

Your words make sense, but when you criticise His actions you indeed support the system (which is bad) by not committing yourself to a serious position against the bad,horrible system (because you can just brush that aside for the sake of some leftist ideal like how everyone deserves to live (like glen beck)). You can't separate the good from the bad -- unless, of course, you want to get laid and get paid. The system will appreciate such weakness. The system appreciates the same weakness in the women,children of conquered nations (hint: they are less likely to try to stop Your attempts to 'stabilize' their region and bomb it with Your democracy). Not everyone is okay with being a domesticated dog. Soon, when the population of more 'intelligent people' (i.e., those who are not willing to hand the world over to you excessive progeny) increases, it will no longer be possible for the system that you support to effectively handle dissent individually. When that happens, the human race evolutionary experiment will be complete.
