Personally, I'm not necessarilly opposed to exploring the tech, and even looking how far it gets us in practice. But both the "de-extict" and "fighting climate change" angles undermine the entire endavour. it undermines the credibility and/or the intellectual honesty of the researchers it's...

Look at it from the bright side: a large part of the "developed" world has just joined the "developing" world, for which caring about a longer term threat, no matter how existential, is merely a luxury. Because it's pushed aside by more immediate concerns and fuckery Of course, those immediate...

It's not exactly the best idea to fight an urgent existential problem like Climate Change with expensive highly questionable speculative unscalable slow and tenuous fantasy "solutions" like this. Especially when they divert attention from all the obvious stuff that is blocked by simple...

With "Carbon Capture" , especially from the atmosphere,the utterly boring and less sexy example.

It's a narrative to get funding. I bet nobody there actually believes most of that long-term pipedream.

Reminds me of the ones denying COVID-19, while in the process of dying from it...

I sure hope we show some balls, here... Craving for Musk Tears.

That depends on the definition, doesn't it? To me, AGI is not Super-Intelligence or omni-science, but simply flexibility comparable to human intelligence. And the ability of meta-cognition. May require sentience, but definitely CAN include stupidity, fallibility and being constrained in many...

I find it highly optimistic to take it for granted that we make it through the Narrow AI phase. Narrow AI will kill us first, by reflecting our own stupidity back at us.

It's an easy prediction that every path taken will probably be the very worst , from now on.

You don't get just HOW bad I'm referring to. And I say all this, because looking at it from afar, it's been really really REALLY bad already. Like, you can't be fucking serious??? bad, just by watching or reading 5 minutes of Trump excrement every fucking day . But apparently, that's not...

Gonna be honest here... It NEEDS to be monumentally catastrophically bad, very very soon, so you guys find the motivation to turn this around. That's the unfortunate truth. It's insane, but it is what it is.

Let's find as many ways possible to f*ck them any way possible.I'll support it all.

"We contacted the US Department of Health and Human Services about the lawsuit and will update this article if it provides a response." Did the poop emoji already arrive?

It obviously CAN'T even DO that, no matter how trivial it seems. Which should tell people a LOT.

They're "blackout-constrained"...

The "better" these things get, the more dangerous and psychopatic they become. Just like with self-driving, there's a "Valley of Unexpected Backstabbing" that has to be crossed. In the case of cars, it opens up as soon as the system is generally able to do its thing unsupervised for...

"They lie" To be fair, that's way less problematic, just in general, than it used to be. It's what you have to do to be properly in tune with the times.

There's a carbon budget that needs to be spent ASAP!

People still ccnfuse genuinely impressive tech demos with a functional tool that should become "invisible" (= not aggressively impose a set of constraints and homogenisation) once matured. As long as you wear ypur "tech" glasses, this looks impressive and great, but once you're in "consuming...
