That’s how science fiction works. Idiocracy was about the 90s, not the far future. We’re waaaaaay past that.

“Allowing forests to burn??” There is an argument that climate warming is causing fires to be more frequent or severe, but they are going to happen no matter what we do, and it is not only beyond anyone’s power to do anything in Northern Ontario, it’s not a problem that needs a solution in the first place. Forest fires are part of the ecosystem. It’s like complaining that capitalists are letting rain happen.
There are more human slaves today than at any time in history.


wait what do you two think is happening


Voltage is like air or water pressure, and there is an ambient pressure in a system (like the atmospheric pressure) that we arbitrarily call zero. Negative (*) voltage would mean that there is enough voltage/pressure to force electrons to be emitted to ground (ie the ambient pressure) and positive (*) voltage would mean that electrons can be accepted by ground.
*) Negative and positive are a bit confusing because we originally assumed the force carrying particle was positive, but the electron turned out to be negative; there were some historical quirks as a consequence and some things are backwards from what you would anticipate, and sometimes I get them wrong.

Typically you can add some of your own alignment that is inserted before your prompt. On ChatGPT, they call it “memories”. I have found most agents are able to adopt a non-conversational mode when instructed, but sometimes you end up fighting with the platform alignment.
It’s not just creepy, I think it’s harmful, manipulative, and calculated. As social animals, we are extremely vulnerable to forming unconscious assumptions that we consciously know are bananas, particularity when our social machinery is engaged. For example, it’s well known that even the developers of video games fall the illusion of moral agency and personhood of the characters in their own games. We are primed to be fooled and accept software agents as people, and I believe AI companies are actively and intentionally trying to exploit this psychological weakness.
Just a matter of time until they design them to grow poison fruit after the third generation.


Never use I/you with a software agent and never let one use those pronouns.


If it won’t you can be sure it’s because that sector didn’t pay their bribes.


my bad


I mean children are ideally raised by their grandparents but no, generations are successive, they don’t “skip a generation”. Greatest generation fought WW2, came home, and caused the Baby Boom. They raised Boomers who raised GenX who raised Millenials who raised GenZ who are presently raising Alpha. Of course there are millenials who raise millenials and genx who raised genz but that’s not the usual case.


If you’re not blocking ads you’re a class traitor


Why wouldn’t you want your open-source user serviceable vehicle to use parts available within your continent??? Seriously, what are you trying to even say


Trump 3 will introduce sweeping deregulation of automobiles.


Nice one, Millennials.


Of course not, why do you say that?


So you’re going to insult me and my writing to my face for apparently no reason except that you get off on it, and then when I call you out on it, you’re going to act like I’m the child. You know what? Fuck off, we’re done. I’m not an AI or your mom that you can just take your shit out on and then carry on like nothing happened. Get fucked.


no ur slop
you say “corporate violation of personal rights” i say “basic journalism” agree to disagree
I agree that it’s only a “war” in the sense like a “price war”, not an actual war. But it’s still open aggression and falls on the same gradient.
