I wonder if they’ll point the finger in the right direction. We have many decades of experience of dissatisfied citizens simply taking their rage out on the current culture war target instead of actual oppressors.

We really are living in a cyberpunk dystopia.

Sorry, obviously the public awareness of the people making these decisions is dangerous information.

DAMN YOU ANTHROPOMORPHIZED COMPANY RUN BY NOBODY WHO THEREFORE CAN MAKE SHITTY DECISIONS HIDING BEHIND CAPITALISM!!!

Thank your glorious mods for protecting our corporate overlords.

Of course not. But do people really get to make shitty decisions that impact other people while hiding behind the veil of corporate structure without being directly named and shamed for their decisions?

Removed by mod

There are some things they can do like agreements/contracts going several years into the future, but the problem is anything they can do that on its face locks in the next admin, can be undone by the courts…which they now control at the highest level by a 6-3 majority, which at best remains only a 6-3 majority for the next 4 years and probably much much longer than that. Thomas will retire in this admin and they’ll get a new young ultra conservative in his place.

They’re gonna fuck everything up. They promised to.

They have a razor thin margin in Congress though, so anything requiring purse strings (money) our best hope is that they’re just really dysfunctional (which we know they are) and fight too much about how much to hurt other people to get much done.

But yeah, it’s looking dark.

“The security and privacy of our customers’ information are a top priority for Booking. com,” Booking. com’s spokesperson told Ars. “Following our investigation, we found that the issue occurred due to a customer input error during the reservation process, where he inadvertently entered an incorrect email address. That email address, however, belonged to another Booking. com customer”—Alfie—“which caused the reservation to be linked to their account.”

It depends on the court and the judge/jury instructions but even accidental spoliation (destruction) of evidence can result in an adverse inference.

how do you manage?

I’m relatively conservative, so probably a blend of bonds and market tracking index funds.

So… nihilism?

This is what Ilya saw…

As long as they don’t fuck it up in a similar fashion to seemingly every other thing they have tried for a couple decades.

Assuming it takes its answer from search results, and the search results are all affiliate marketing sites that just want you to click on a link and buy something, this makes perfect sense.

They marched up there with no resistance, but they shortly thereafter blew the guys plane out of the air. That’s a pretty big repercussion.

This is almost certainly not happening, but it would be absolutely hilarious if that’s how the Putin regime ended.

Is language conscious?

Are atoms?

I don’t know if LLMs of a large enough size can achieve (or sufficiently emulate) consciousness, but I do know that we barely know anything about consciousness, let alone it’s limits.

Never learning any lessons

The rich are now richer than they have ever been in history while we grumble about it on the internet. I think they just didn’t learn the lesson we might have liked them to have learned…

The thing is, LLMs can be used for something like this, but just like if you asked a stranger to write a letter for your loved one and only gave them the vaguest amount of information about them or yourself you’re going to end up with a really generic letter.

…but to give me amount of info and detail you would need to provide it with, you would probably end up already writing 3/4 of the letter yourself which defeats the purpose of being able to completely ignore and write off those you care about!
