Want to wade into the snowy sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.
Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Does it still count if it turns out that Trump invading iran was based on Claude or ChatJippity advice and things escalate to global thermonuclear war? AI technically wiped out humanity because our dumb leaders were dumb enought to trust it?
On the one hand, Yudās vision of AI doomsday is specifically āAI turns sentient/superintelligent and kills us all because reasonsā, not āHumanity wipes itself out because they trusted lying machinesā.
On the other hand, the absence of sentience/superintelligence hasnāt stopped AI from causing untold damage anyways, as the past two to three years can attest.
Technically yes, but Yud probably wouldnāt count that, since the AI didnāt have the express purpose of destroying everyone
So if Bender took over he wouldnāt count. As he wants to ākill all humans (except Fry)ā. Seems like a loophole.
Bender really takes the āintelligenceā out of āartificial superintelligenceā. āYeah, kill all humans. Except Fry, heās my friend or pet or something. And I guess Leela because heāll be whiny about it and also I owe her for the thing. And Hermes because he still owes me money. And I guess the professor is okayā¦ā And so on and so forth through all of humanity.
