At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus

@AlexBlechman

but it’s not like musk has anything to gain from cfpb being gutted, right?

just the way the French like it

totally unrelated but did you hear Tesla’s are at MOST two years away from breaking 1000km range? well they were in 2015. so they’ll definitely have a thousand km range in 2017. I guess we need to see if time really is cyclical and this is for the next cycle’s 2017

harmless joke got mass. downvoted

whoopsie daisy I helped the Russian again! what a series of unfortunate accidents.

it’s a meter that says it’s only fair if you criticize the party that wants you to have some healthcare and the party that wants to blackbag random people to send them to torture prisons equally.

this is textbook fallacy fallacy

it’s not actually. there’s barely an intermediate step between what’s happening now and what I’m suggesting it will lead to.

this is not “if we allow gay marriage people will start marrying goats”. it’s “if this company is allowed to cut corners here they’ll be cutting corners in other places”. that’s not a slope; it’s literally the next step.

slippery slope fallacy doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to connect A to B.

using AI in a nuclear plant at Diablo Canyon… it’s so on the nose you’d say it’s lazy writing if it were part of the backstory of some scifi novel.

to people who say it’s just paperwork or whatever it doesn’t matter: this is how it begins. they’ll save a couple cents here and there and they’ll want to expand this.

it went wrong when he asked a question and answered with probably.

it would instead go straight to THE RADICAL LEFT WANTS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO BASH AMERICAN CITIZENS or something

there’s no room for questions or probabilities in fascism, things need to be certain, binary, simple, and scary.

it’s just people with no skills and all resentment.

yeah I got angry just looking at it

i agree llms can’t do shit right now, what I was talking about was a hypothetical future in which somehow these useless techbros found a way to make them worth a shit. they certainly would be able to make a logical program work than infuse any artistic value into any audio or image.

programs can be written to respond to a need that can be detected and analyzed and solved by a fairly advanced computer. art needs intent, a desire to create art, whether to convey feelings, or to make a statement, or just ask questions. programs can’t want, feel or wonder about things. they can pretend to do so but we all know pretending isn’t highly valued in art.

por que no los fucking neither, is what i think.

my point exactly. practical purpose and security are things you can analyze and solve for as a machine at least in theory. artistic value comes from the artistic intent. by intent I don’t mean to argue against death of the author, as I believe in it, but the very fact that there is intent to create art.

after all his cronies got on TV talking about making iphones in the US … fucking lol.

it’s funny that some people think programming has a human element that can’t be replaced but art doesn’t.

who said the order matters?
