If superintelligence is not possible, then it's no big deal if we ban development of it, surely.

I hope the likes of ControlAI succeed. It seems like even in the face of rapid advances very few people actually seriously extrapolate those advances into the future. People either dismiss it as marketing hype or assume that some limiting f

Not even that. Just say "we didn't refuse them entry, they chose not to come because we employ women".

If it's rate limits, I wonder if Aurora Store could just download and mirror the apk for the top 40 most popular apps (probably >50% of their downloads) and serve that mirror to most Aurora Store users who click the "download&q

They look so similar to hyenas. Maybe they fit the same evolutionary niche. While the article claims that wild dogs are the most successful predator in Africa, I found a national geographic article which claims the same for hyenas: https:&

Comaps is a fork of Organic maps, because community members didn't like the direction organic maps was moving in. Organic maps was becoming more profit-focused and the governance structure was not democratic. https://itsfoss

Food production lines have been built to standardise everything so that (for example) the dough is all the same consistency so it all behaves the same way and squishes into the same size circle when you flatten it. It seems like humans deal

How long until someone starts making fake rare books to sell to AI companies?

Anna's archive is selling data to AI companies. They're essentially saying "hey, don't sell your books to be scanned by AI companies, scan them yourself, and give us the data, so we can sell it to AI companies."

Firefighters and police are quite strange examples to choose, since they both have to offer 24hr support. Surely they could benefit from sporadic sleeping and shift work? For example if they're able to have some firefighters napping at

What are they expecting a Texan civilian who gets this alert to even do? This is baffling.

It's not the worst time, but it is incredibly unstable. We peaked 10-15 years ago.

Would a diaspora from GitHub be that bad? I don't see particularly big benefits from having every project being hosted in one place. Monopolies with network effects tend to enshittify.

Hear me out: There are tiny people who are invisible, and independently, there is a mushroom which makes humans hallucinate tiny people. The hallucinations are different than the ones which actually exist.

It seems possible that ads will get even more insidious. People you follow will post an image, and it could be edited to include a product placement. People who make a post which incidentally mentions a product or organisation will see that

Exactly this. The people willing to pay a subscription are also the most valuable to advertisers.

AI companies are in the grip of market forces and shareholder pressure. They won't (or can't) respond to pleas or calls for action. They need regulation more than anything.

Firefox already exists, and for all its flaws it is both free and open source.

The original quote was supposedly Bill Gates saying that "640kb of memory should be enough for anyone". The quote became famous because it's a failure to imagine that people would find new uses for computer memory if it becam

I agree that privacy is not always a force for good. I think that when we remove privacy we normally lose much more than we gain. People easily focus on negative consequences of privacy (dangerous people being able to communicate secretly)

It's not cowardice. It's a standard defence against tyranny. Governments can change quickly so even if you think your present government is democratic and healthy it still pays to keep the tools to defend against it if it changes.

Your assumption that "criminals" are doing something morally wrong is fundamentally flawed. Civil rights activists were criminals, as were suffragettes, and the people who protected Jews in Nazi Germany, and gay or trans people ju

So long as you don't try to go without any kind of copyright. I've heard stories of people releasing their music for free with no copyright only for somebody to download it, register it as THEIR copyright, and then sell it on all

It's more like. "This is significantly more complicated and expensive than the obvious simple solution we already have". The same money that is being spent on this project could instead be spent installing much more solar on

It is the real world in many places. "Criminals" are not a homogenous group. Petty criminals will not usually be making the effort to get a gun if getting a gun is inconvenient. Some high level criminals will find ways to get guns

What makes you think it would need humans to collaborate with it or that they would refuse? Robotics exist and are improving and humans are actively trying to collaborate with AI to improve it.
