I'm sad to report that the catastrophic AI event already happened and it was this picture
mind horrors beyond your comprehension

I feel personally attacked because I have a BELOVED dino plush that looks almost exactly like that one, only is, you know, a fucking plush toy not an eldritch horror. They took a perfectly fine toy and ruined it with a stupid chatbot, the girl did the smartest thing and just uses it as a normal plushy.
Also if you listen to the video at the end you can really easily figure out why kids don't like that toy, IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING. Kids don't want to deal with your bullshit and fortunately they don't yet know how to pretend to care.
I think there’s a framing issue with that entire illusion since the question presumes that one of the two is bigger
I disagree, or rather I think that's actually a feature; "neither" is a perfectly reasonable answer to that question that a human being would give, and LLMs would be fucked by since they basically never go against the prompt.
You know guys, it's really hard for me to give MY input when you are so negative about all the terrible things I like. Next time you guys come CRAWLING to me for advice, try not hating me as a human being for everything my twisted value system represents.
Seriously, I wanna know how much funds Google allocates to fight ad blockers just to come up with a working solution every odd month that then gets fixed by the uBlock community in hours.
To me the most baffling part is the devs. Like, someone has to be working on this? An honest-to-god software engineer is spending their life fighting windmills to harras more people with ads. This cannot be fulfilling work in any way, can it? Great, I'm putting a lot of work into circumventing uBlock and
- if I win then people will be forced to watch ads, which quite directly makes our society worse to exist in,
- I most likely won't win, and the month of work I put into this will be thwarted by some guy in a cellar pushing a small uBlock change 4h after my code goes live.
To be fine with that you have to be either a sociopath, or somehow completely compertmantilise the task and actively not think about the externalities... or be held at gunpoint. I mean, you're a fucking software developer, there are other jobs than Google! You could be doing literally anything else right now, up to and including herding goats, why the fuck would you willingly fight on the front of the Ad War on the side of the ads.
If I was working on YouTube and my boss told me that I had to figure out a way to thwart uBlock I'd just tell him no. If the choice was between doing that and quitting, I'd quit the same fucking day and get a job doing something real. I quite literally cannot imagine why you wouldn't do that, you got a job at GOOGLE, if you succeeded in their stupid recruitment process then you can find a job LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE the same fucking week you quit.
I want someone to take this and run it in a self-feeding loop, I want to see what the limit supremum of AI Imagery looks like
I swear to god there was a video I watched about this years ago that already talked about how they don't give you the best coupons and that they hijack affiliate links. I couldn't have made that up in my head.
The most surprising thing to me was that they're owned by PayPal? How can you have any credibility left when you're owned by PayPal, wtf, that should've been the end of them. Oh, no shit, a service owned by PAYPAL is shady and not above-board?? No way man, those paragons of user centrism, PAY-fucking-PAL.
Oh jesus christ now I get it.
Thank you. This single sentence explains to me how the fuck those people are able to exist for 20 years and still be so shit at their job.
A lot of the "I'm a senior engineer and it's useful" people seem to just assume that they're just so fucking good that they'll obviously know when the machine lies to them so it's fine. Which is one, hubris, two, why the fuck are you even using it then if you already have to be omniscient to verify the output??
Also I'm sorry but
Why the discrepancy? A footnote in the CE Delft report makes it clear: the price figures for macronutrients are largely based on a specific amino acid protein powder that sells for $400 a ton on the sprawling e-commerce marketplace Alibaba.com.
this is exactly the sort of magical thinking I'm talking about "it will scale because we can order tons of the stuff off Alibaba" just what the fuck are you smoing mate, this can't be good faith analysis
A lot of “I can control my emotions and choose how I act, you should try that” - yeah stop. We’re human. Emotions are normal.
Ye, that's the point? The point is not to suppress emotions but to recognise them as they're happening to you. It's not even that there's objective value assigned to the emotions, it's simply so that you yourself can perform introspection of the kind "I did that action because I was furious. Now is that good or bad?". But it's still entirely okay to make a conscious decision of the form:
- I'm gonna punch that motherfucker
- Okay, stop, I am feeling fury right now, I shouldn't allow just the emotion to guide me. Let's think.
- Okay, I thought this through, I'm gonna punch that motherfucker with purpose.
Teaching the girl how to deadpan ignore annoying guys in her DMs for the rest of her life, I mean, valuable skill
