At what point does prancing become assault?

Indeed. There was a legitimate reason for the case in question - but horrific mismanagement by the HK government led the whole issue snowball into a wider political crisis.

I’m amazed all these foreign belligerents and governments are all happily using an American platform. It’s like Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan having stuff published in the NYT during WW2.

Does George Santos even exist? Has anyone actually seen him in the flesh? Is he the first AI created “human”?

I’m curious if there are studies that go into how humans have changed as a result of their new technologies - human behavior, education, development, social patterns etc. I have a feeling it’s a two way street - we make the technologies and they remake us to a smaller degree. Has this balance started to shift in the machines’ favor? That is, they will be able to change us at a greater intensity and speed than we can affect them?

I’m scared of a dumbing down of a significant chunk of the population if soon, black boxes are able to perform critical thinking functions in behalf of folks for a lot of everyday tasks. One could just switch off mentally and have the machine do everything, even advising or making decisions on one’s behalf.

Sure, top engineers and programmers will continue to work with autonomous intelligences on a high level but they constitute a tiny fraction of humanity, most of whom have outsourced imagination and critical thinking to the all knowing blackboxes.

How do you defend against drone swarms that can dodge radar detection? The attacker has a huge surprise advantage if detection systems can’t keep up.

My fear is that humans will get progressively lazier and cede more of our critical functions to blackbox AI. Sure, the output might be inferior to what human can make but if it’s cheap and easy, our standards might decline correspondingly.

Weird. He seems like a very smart guy and a legitimate entrepreneur. What drove him off the deep end? He doesn’t seem to be a bad faith actor who only pretends to subscribe to conspiracy theories for profit?

Yeah there is a lack of a global standard that is scientifically proven and enforced

I suppose that’s why NYC is mandating bird friendly glass for future construction over a certain height. The bird supporting lobby has one hell of a influence.

I remember that! It was a Korean American girl who was too ashamed to tell her parents that she actually hadn’t been accepted by Stanford.

That’s as good a business case for WeWork had they been run by a grown up before the IPO - and in fact they were moving forward with owning their own properties and providing property management services to companies that want to outsource.

The boundless supply of third world immigrants who overstay their visas in developed countries may yet keep labor costs low enough to keep these so-called tech companies going. People are cheap and ripe for exploitation - even if these workers remit more money home than they would’ve warned otherwise. Take away this labor supply and I’d wager that the delivery tech companies would either have to jack up prices or go out of business.
