Trump is a full blown cult of personality at this point, no one else will do. Maybe that’s a good thing since he doesn’t seem to have much time left.

True, but with how secretive North Korea is, it’s difficult to get accurate cultural news directly from the source.

Send in the great musician!

Your assessment seems spot on to me. I’m connecting some projected dots to late stage capitalism. Perhaps the AIs will trickle down and such if we hold off on regulations.

Of course it’s possible for the government to impose regulations without sticking their face in and motorboating the AI’s contents. Google, Microsoft et al. would love to prevent this from happening because they actually do have their faces in there.

This is such an important distinction. Current AI is incapable of wanting to cause any of that harm, yet it’s already happening. The danger won’t be skynet, it will be and always has been human greed and ignorance.

Hmm, this makes me think of the tradition on certain parts of the internet where people publicly announce the name and crime of this convicted rapist. They’ll explain where he’s currently living, the name he’s trying to go by, and bars he was seen at. This activity seems to stem from the outrage at the excessive leniency he was shown by the judge, although could also be protecting other potential victims.

I wonder if this kind of vigilante doxxing would fall under the scope of such a law, especially when his name is already in so many publications.

First the Streisand effect led to her home. Now it leads to her entire discography. Poor Barbara Streisand.

Why would you assume it’s an emergent property and thus should be dismissed as not being a force of nature? I’m making fewer assumptions than you are by wanting to list it alongside the other forces until we can determine if it is emergent or not, and the implications of such emergence. It’s kind of a big deal that we can sit here and ponder the forces of nature with some degree of control over our little sack of atoms.

It’s safe to say that this list is going to change over time and represents a current snapshot of humanity’s limited understanding. Under the current snapshot of human understanding, leaving it off of the list seems to me to indicate an ironic bias on the behalf of researchers who must use the very force in question to do anything. By necessity, it is the overarching phenomenon surrounding all other forces since the only place we can definitively know these forces even exist is within our own mind. To say anything more is to make assumptions.

While I agree that a certain level of assumptions are necessary if we’re going to get anywhere, I’m also acutely aware that they’re still assumptions and that assumptions are not scientific. If we’re going to be scientific about this, we need to make as few assumptions as possible.

Yeah, I took a look at the code they used in the article that might help someone generate functional attacks. A rando experimenting without permission would likely get banned from the service.

Forces of Nature

1. electromagnetism
2. strong nuclear force
3. weak nuclear force
4. gravity
   5?. whatever the hell might be acting on the muons in this article

Quick, everyone ignore 0 because it’s “too hard”, even though it’s the only reason we can study 1-5: consciousness

I just tried this on ChatGPT, it doesn’t work.

Don’t give France any ideas.

I remember seeing those videos when they came out, and they were unsettling to say the least. I definitely have my thoughts on the case, but I think by far my strongest thought is that it’s not up to randos like me to decide. I hate what the #metoo movement morphed into. There’s someone else in here calling other SA survivors insane psychopaths, and this is the norm now. It’s like most people think it’s black and white, and that you can tell who’s guilty or innocent from a couple of youtube videos. The reality is that unless you’re the accuser or the accused, you don’t know. And unless you’re the judge and jury, it’s not up to you nor should it be.

My mind immediately went to Karen Wetterhahn. Usually it’s just you, but sometimes it is mercury.

They’re trying so hard to lose my patronage, but they forgot I cancelled last year.

Agent Smith, and he has to be disgusted by everything all the time.

May the disdain never fade until monopolies are destroyed.

I was going to ask where’s Facebook’s CEO, but we all know Data can walk the ocean floor and take no damage.
