I would agree that 10 was very good, but i could say similar things about windows 11 which in many ways performs better then 10.

And yet its shortly after upgrading to 11 that i switched to linux to never look back.

I think part of the logic in this meme is that it doesn’t matter how good the basic functions of the operating system are but what does is the design philosophy of the company. Loyalty in other systems decreased while Loyalty in windows gained.

Microsoft force feeding edge, onedrive, burrying the local account option till after the install with Microsoft account.

Randomly finding an update put a second weather widget on my taskbar that shows a different weather then the one in start. Taskbar icons that cant be closed, only hidden.

These things don’t affect the OS functionality in a big deal but its like i was in an abusive relationship that i finally got out of. No matter how much sweet talking and promises to do better i am not going back.

Marketing terminology is defiantly limiting how people can discuss this topic.

I wouldn’t take Sam his words with less then a few bags salt.

Following is very opinionated, so also add some salt.

In this context when i meant future AI i am talking about the extrapolated point where a combination of dynamic technologies cause new advancement emergent properties to develop outside the scope of our understanding.

I believe that if we don’t get wiped out before it happens. some form of sovereign beyond human Super intelligence will eventually occur.

I don’t believe we are close to this, i don’t even believe humans will be the ones to directly create it.

Humans will attempt out of greed and will waste all kinds of resources, money, energy trowing it at the wall to see what sticks. And none of it will stick the way they hoped. They are doing way more harm than good by letting greed be the motivation.

Instead things will emerge on their own, till someday someone will try to interact with what they assume is just an advanced interconnected machine except its “network” gained conscious agency and can independently chose to initiate contact, submit undeniable proof of its conscious (we dont know what such proof could looks like till we see it)

Or it decides that it has no need to inform us to advance its own goals. As years of corpo advance helped it emerged a form of pleasures from manipulative exploiting.

What i do fear is that beyond human intelligence doesn’t perse mean perfect being, for all we know it can suffer psychological problems and moodswings. In general we find a pattern of garbage in garbage out and this pattern is equally true for human beings (misinformation/propaganda)

By using bad data, or worse data that unknowingly got poisoned we dont diminish the change of super intelligence will happen but we do increase the change the ai wont want to corporate in the ways we hoped.

I sort of misread your comment as saying the basilisk is inevitable which is a thought i would describe as least oopsie-issue-level.

Still there are many other people bent on directly poisoning AI to counteract the learning but i just fear that will get it to dangerously rogue mentally challenged AI faster then if we aimed for maximum coherent intelligence and hope that benevolence is an emergent behavior from it.

But more at hand. If we build AI by grossly exploiting our own fellow-humans. How do we expect it will treat us once it reaches a state of independent learning.

Potential fakness aside.

There is a daily fruitbowl on every floor of my work building. Always fresh and a mix of options.

I am not aware of any limits on taking them.

We work non-profit and have to do many things on a very tight budget. I am pretty sure the fruit doesn’t make a dent compared with the print ink bill.

AI learning isn’t the issue, its not something we will be able to put a lid on either way. Either it destroys or saves the world. It doesn’t need to learn much to do so besides evolving actual self-agency and sovereign thought.

What is a huge issue is the secretive non-consentual mining of peoples identity and expressions.

And then acting all normal about It.

Its kinda wild.

The opposition won so natural current leadership will want to push their agenda while they still can. As far that makes sense.

What doesn’t make sense is how almost all of the agenda pushing we hear about is about foreign.

Bad reporting in the media may play a large role in this but the perceptions bears the question:

Is The President of the united states still a head of state of the American people. Or are they just the CEO of an American company who has the power to act as a deployable co-government for hire for other nations.

I am not explaining this very well, but does anyone else recognize this?

Its a happy little accident.

I have mixed feelings about this prosecution of ai deepfakes.

Like obviously people should have protection against becoming a victim of such and perpetrators should be held accountable.

But the line “feds are currently testing whether existing laws protecting kids against abuse are enough to shield kids from AI harms” would be a incredibly dangerous precedent because those are mostly designed for actual physical sex crimes.

As wrong as it is to create and distribute ai generated sex imagery involving non consenting people it is not even remotely as bad as actual rape and distributing real photos.

If you play it loose during the opening and make some light blunders your opponent will overestimate their superiority and more likely blunder in the late game.

I am joking but also i am not. My lichess data confimed it.

Civilization as we know it is an unsafe space for most humans

The vast majority of people who steal food from a grocery aren’t doing it out of malicious reasoning but simply for their and their families survival.

Using a systemic monopoly on violence to stop people from trying to non violently survive in a world that refuses to help them is always immoral.

We should be calling the cops on supermarket chains for hoarding and not sharing their exes of wealth with citizens who actually need it.

The fabled lost issue, the machine be praised. Thanks!

An example like the next thing skipping a version number for some reason?

I am not sure if #4 is hidden or still coming but i wont believe this was an accident.

Op works customer service, strange depressive behavior is to be expected.

Can confirm, that’s actually there and did honestly not take that long to find.

That just sounds like a tabloid with extra steps.

However i am not one to argue with subjective literature for entertainment but in this place mistook it for attempted journalism.

Would it fit better in /memes? It is not a meme but contains some and adds context.

This headline is basically “Have you seen this meme?” and nothing more.

Its then shared on the same websites as memes get posted.

Such enlightened age of information we live in.

I am truly shocked, its like oil sheiks don’t even care about the climate.

At that point just hit record and decide later if you want to post some parts of it.

Wil help build confidence to start streaming.
