Dude looks like a nazi from an Indiana Jones movie

God the news lately is equal parts beyond stupid and horrifying.

White-Cain’s prosperity theology is perfect for the White House faith office and for trump. The ghouls deserve each other. America needs to see the rot laid bare.

I get the irony but we should still try to work toward the ideal not away from it.

What show or movie is this from? I’m out of the loop.

Reminds me of my kid

I’ve been struggling to process my reality for as long as I can remember.

There seems to be some precedent in place for this unfortunately https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/09/biden-inaugural-donors-major-corporations-456907 I don’t know what prior amounts have been given though

It’s like he’s casting for the 9th circle of hell wow what a cast of characters.

Thats a great idea! I was thinking the QAnon Anonymous podcast folks would be great for conspiracy deep dives. They already are but on infowars that would be perfect 🤌

Not so much anymore but I binged Hello from the magic tavern when I first discovered it. Also hardcore history, behind the bastards and Welcome to nightvale.

I deactivated my accounts just the other day. I haven’t been active for years so it was an easy decision. I could see why if you have a ton of followers it would be harder to do.

I feel like this is a game of find all the AI mistakes. Like how long are Susan’s legs!!

Biden is the lotion you apply to soften your skin so it can, once removed, make capitalism pretty.

I didn’t mean to throw your argument back at you. I agree with it. I just read it and thought you could describe humans with it as well albeit not that completely or charitably. I think by no means should we allow LLMs to make decisions. They could help us be more objective maybe in some cases by educating us. But yeah handing over agency to an AI is a frightening concept.

And no of course wiping out civilization is not a solution. I can get pessimistic about our ability to avoid destroying ourselves with or without the help of AI. I still think world peace is largely unattainable. At least without some draconian controls in place and a whole lot of time and education. I could change my mind on that. I hope we’ll get there someday.

Why the actual fuck is anyone considering putting humans into the driving seat of anything?!

Of course they make fucked up decisions with no proper or justifiable rationale, because they have no brains. They’re language models, stochastic parrots stringing together sentences to fit the prompt(s) given to them.

Sorry I didn’t mean for that to be snarky. My point in doing that was to say individual humans aren’t much better. That’s why it’s important not to place too much power or even agency on one person.

A language model has in its head, wrong word, what only multitudes could contain and maybe it’s detecting, another wrong word, a pattern with human civilization through our history and interactions. And if it’s goal is to achieve peace what other solution is there? I don’t believe in a world without conflict. I wish I could.
