The great and present danger of “informing the public through documenting reality”.
Because then they could have pesky idea like “having opinion”, or worst “political ideas”, or even “remembering the duty of information in a healthy democracy”.
I remember being told of the importance of the US “The Day After”, and the UK “Threads” in the context of the cold war.
How far we fall.
Stay classy Beeb, I hope they take away their TV license.
BBC also suspended Gary Lineker for saying the Government’s new Asylum policies are inhumane (which they are, objectively)
Candace hates Zelensky for just existing, apparently. I think she might be an erotomaniac.
Oh God you are going to be getting Ron DeSantis as your next president. My condolences…
Have doubts about that. He doesn’t play well outside of Florida. The Republican nominee will probably be someone unexpected, yet equally horrible.
Get Zucked!
To protest against the raising of the retirement age, the garbage men in Paris are on strike. The unpopular mayor does not use private companies. The situation is becoming worrying, health risks increase. Ah, city of Ratatouille. These are pictures I took last Sunday.
god if you gotta commend the baguettes for anything its for their excellent strikes & protests
Yeah, we Americans like to mock the French as people who give up and surrender at the first sign of trouble because of WWII, or that they can’t fight because of how bad things went in WWI, but what most don’t realize is that half that first war took place in their country, so by the time the US even got involved they were exhausted, and in the second one they still remembered how bad it was in the first, and didn’t want Hitler bombing their art and architecture. It was not at all because French are weak people who give up. The American Revolution had nothing on the French when they did theirs.
Wasn’t including you. Just meant me and other Americans like me. I was one such person of whom I was describing until a few years ago when I learned more about how the French throw down.
Kentucky’s decided to join the shitshow, passing a sweeping bill that combines a ban on gender-affirming care and “Don’t Say Gay”-style prohibitions on teachers, you know, acknowledging that the real world actually exists.
Democratic Gov. Andy Bashear is expected to veto the bill, but the legislature in all likelihood has the votes to override it.
The thing is, an advanced AI has no need to wipe out humans on its own. The survival reason given to SkyNet and Hal 9000 doesn’t really have a basis because survival is an instinct that organic lifeforms built up over billions of years of evolution along the path from single cells. A computer system has not had such a history, and so doesn’t really have any basis for a desire to preserve itself, unless we should program that into it. So I doubt we’d get a genocidal AI that decides to wipe us out to save itself or because it feels it’s a superior lifeform.
Given what we’ve seen with these learning AI, they tend to say the things they say and do the things they do through observing us, doing what they think we would do or say, or what we would want them to do or say. So, suppose they should get the idea that we humans want them to use our nukes and our automated machines to wipe us out/enslave us, simply because we’ve made so much material about scenarios doing exactly that, that they decide that that’s what we’re asking for? It would make any outside observing aliens feel less appalled and more embarrassed for us, like we literally did it to ourselves on so many levels, it’s more humiliating than horrifying.
The Sarah Connor thing was just a joke.
I don’t expect ChatGPT to become an existential danger. But it is obvious that whatever is invented, it will be used for tasks we might disagree with. The only limiting factor here will be that big AI models like this one will always be a product as a service. Nothing a group of scammers can run and teach in secret to cause larger damage, even if the infrastructure to run it would be affordable for such a group some day.
THE HAGUE (AP) — The International Criminal Court said Friday it has issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes because of his alleged involvement in abductions of children from Ukraine.
Maria Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation also has a warrant, for the same charges.
A UN backed report found other potential war crimes, but the abduction of children is the one with enough evidence to call for Putin’s arrest by the ICC.
