They said the opposite. AI won’t cause disasters, idiots who give it access will. Some asshole will joke about nuking Iran, unawares that another asshole granted access to the proverbial ‘Button’, and we’ll have another international incident.

Like just look at ‘Signal Gate’, and know that those idiots are still in charge. And those same idiots blamed bombing the all girls school in Iran on AI last March. And that’s just in the US, we have the biggest loudest idiots right now, but they are not the only idiots out there vibe coding up some war crimes.

I don’t see why UBI has to remove the rest of social services. Feels like that would fit in the “More social welfare” bin.

I don’t need Bernie to fully understand AI before he continues advocating for the people. He also has enough of a track record to trust that he does not blindly believe the AI rhetoric, which is primarily pushed by the same Corpo types he usually rails against. I’d wager he’s also for adding guard rails and protections.

Its good to keep pushing for good things, despite whatever noise is going on. Perfect being the enemy of good has sidetracked many an effort. Like conservatives have had no problem taking their little victories over the years chipping away at rights before going full out fascist. We need little victories do push back too.

Ahh thanks for the clarification

Could be thousands of obituaries, but that can’t be the middle of every comment on the subject

Buttcrack album cover guy. Classic!

After a few seasons yeah

Some of the extra nuance is that she routinely would dip her toes in the ‘far right’ hate cess pool. Disney, being Disney, asked her to dial it back. After enough incidents they cut bait. She was a bit character on a show that had some heat and refused to just not cry about courting Nazis.

Like you gotta know that Star Wars on Disney is going to be focused on kids. And if you’re running around pushing conspiracy theories about Jews, you can’t be too shocked when they shut it down.

Goodnight, Moon

But I was thinking of the Zelda moon haha

Child says their goodbyes as the moon approaches

Just some extra red sauce, all good

Its mostly semantics. Dude is saying guns don’t just go off because of X, Y, and Z. And people are pointing out that X, Y, and Z are the result of negligence.

People neglecting gun safety is the cause. The gun goes off because of the negligence.

Vance is whatever he’s told to be. He holds no convictions beyond what his handlers approve.

There’s a chaps wearer within us all

Word. Edit wasn’t up when I got here. 👍

You are fundamentally misunderstanding.

Trans people, men or women, present the way they feel. And, until this bullshit bathroom law, would do exactly as you are saying, they would use the restrooms that matched the gender they present as. But this law makes that illegal. Now they are told to use the bathrooms that match their birth gender.

Now they comply and the cops still get called.

All of this was called out when these dipshit bills were being passed too. And let’s be real, some women look butch and some men can have slighter features. They also get caught up in this trans panic bullshit.

These laws were made to remove certain people from public spaces. Trans people can’t legally go to the bathroom if it doesn’t match their birth gender, and when they do they still get chased out because they do not look like their birth gender anymore.

Millions of dollars focused on specific genitals pissing and shitting in specific toilets.

AI is basically a slippery slope in all directions surrounded by pitfalls it misuse and abuse. People are too quick to trust it. I think a syllabus that includes a lesson warning people as early as possible about the dangers/risks is a good idea that is still relevant to the course. An ethics class for the deep dive is a fine idea, but I don’t think a chapter on analyzing this stuff in an Intro course is that out of bounds. Intro should at least address it, or at the very least not considered a waste of time.

I don’t see people giving up on it anytime soon. I do think eventually it will serve some kind of purpose or be refined enough to be reliable in some way. I think far too many people jumped into this stuff with both feet thinking the future is now and skipped over creating shortcuts for tasks in an effort to take shortcuts for profits.

And there are plenty of people who are willing to use and abuse this tech for nefarious purposes. Deep fakes, fraud, etc. they definitely won’t give it up as they don’t care about the effects on the rest of us

Because people are using AI in programming now. It will only be utilized more as time goes on. Getting into the risks and reward are necessary to know what to do and what not to do. Or at the very least what to be wary of.

Introduction Courses are the Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How. Knowing what you’re getting into and what you will be dealing with are just as foundational.

1. You can know things aren’t totally private and should still be able to make dumb jokes without the FBI getting involved.

2. Does a dumb joke about a bad experience really merit a ‘reality check’?

3. Social Media company reporting suspicious stuff is a good thing. What isn’t good is the zero due diligence. Just right to the FBI.

4. It is the fault of the social media for auto-flagging things then automatically forwarding to the FBI. I’d like more due diligence from the FBI too, but we don’t know how urgent they thought it was. Again, no due diligence and they auto-forwarded something to the FBI that must have made it seem like an imminent threat.

None of these are good things. Privacy should still be private. If we’re going to tacitly accept that nothing is private on the Internet for ‘safety’, then it should absolutely be called out when that privacy is violated for little to no reason. And again, some due diligence from someone. All of these things being done without anyone looking into it until the FBI is on someone’s door step is not good. Let’s also note that law enforcement jumping hard on bad information has led to plenty of wrongful deaths and injuries.
