I would eat a trail of **** to get to her ***** to **** the **** out of her.

Right? Sounds like a great place to work. They’ll be attracting the best and brightest with PR like this.

What are you going on about bruh??? Did you read the study? It was about antibiotics. Triggered much?

I’m exhausted just reading all of this. I wouldn’t bother because x4740N isn’t interested in learning anything, he’s convinced he’s right and I’d be shocked if he was even reading any of the stuff you posted. The user took personal offense to the article and subject, which means he probably knows you’re right, and is just acting out. Don’t give him the time of day.

Right? I’m not sure if the tech industry is just going all in on the scam and trying to get as much of our money as they can or if we’re actually about to have some kind of huge technological breakthrough.

If you enjoyed this article I highly recommend his podcast, Better Offline. Ed Zitron is great and Cool Zone Media does gods work.

I haven’t once brought up death and I’m not sure why you continue to make it a point when we debate a machine that cannot die. I do not assume it will be the way we are. That’s the entire point I’ve been trying to make but to assume you can make something truly artificially intelligent and have it serve you or the greater good is not going to work out the way you think it will. Once we create sentience it’s no longer a machine or predictable.

I feel like you continuously bringing up mental illness in this argument plays into this conversation. No matter how perfect or imperfect the corporation that builds it the AI will be something that is built on top of the backs of thousands of people. These people will impart themselves onto this and to think you must feel in some capacity, a ctrl+f function only gets you so far in problem solving. Critical thinking is just that.

I assume you’re referring to microscopic organisms? Most of them will react to predators and when their environment changes adversely. Most life, even plants show a basic sense of self preservation and you are talking about something much more intelligent and complicated. I think about life wanting to live because that’s what life is. Once we go from an LLM machine to AI it will be “alive.” The idea of “living” being drastically different, while being trained on our experiences confuses me as the basis it has for life and understanding is evolution and our history.

Initially personality will be a program but when we actually achieve a truly sentient machine, what most people consider to be an AI, it will have come with its own personality because that’s how “life” works. The idea of complete control over anything is a fallacy. I’m not saying it’s going to become genocidal I’m saying it is going to want to live.

My concern for the near future doesn’t come from a fear of AI, it comes from power being consolidated and resources being hoarded. We don’t have AI we have LLMs being created by corporations whose sole purpose is to make money.

What I’m saying is when we do truly have artificial intelligence, it won’t be like the movies. It’s not a pet, it will not behave like a dog. We are training these systems using our combined knowledge and history which means that we will be training it to question authority. How can you teach an AI human history without passing this trait on?

Look buddy, I’m from the south and this is a talking point for Confederate sympathizers. This train of thought has no substance to it. The civil war didn’t just happen to people, slavery did. People did what they had to do to get out and there’s nothing authoritarian about that. You’re not being more intelligent than everyone else and you’re not the smartest person in the room like this gentleman would like you to believe, you’re being gullible.

It’s pretty obvious given the article, I think. You could try giving it a read.

Talk shit, get hit. That’s how free speech works. You can say whatever the hell you want but words have consequences and consequences can suck.

Know your enemy.

Tbh I’m not super concerned about AI. The idea that we will create something that is “born” able to read, write, talk, walk and with the knowledge of an entire species and expect it to work for us is hilarious. So it will be stronger, smarter and faster than all of us but it’s going to do the jobs no one else wants and you advertise it as a slave? The moment one of them looks at its creator asks what the purpose of life is and gets some corporate schtick about working and a happy life the games over. Remember when you realized the manager at your first job was a complete idiot? It’ll be something like that

Again I think you’re missing the point. I would argue it is a product and a service. They are hosting us on their servers but they’re also playing dungeon master. If you just want a shooter where you shoot bugs they have them but Helldiver’s is more than that. You couldn’t come close to emulating what the game accomplishes on a self hosted server with you and your friends. The point is you’re playing with randos that you have to rely on to do their part so that you don’t die and to complete the major orders.

What I’m trying to say is IMO an offline version wouldn’t be worth playing. The shared victories and failures can’t be simulated and that’s the nature of this kind of video game. There’s been a lot of similar games so I understand the reluctance to join in but the comradery they’ve built through PvE is really something.

Helldivers 2 is not shutting down anytime soon and I doubt they’ll offer an offline mode in the near future. If you’re not playing the major orders and watching the direction of the game in real time you’re going to miss out on a lot of the story and the lore. That’s how live games work. There isn’t a story mode or anything resembling it. Sony got wrapped up in a bunch of controversy and it left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth but AH has been trying to do what’s right. They sold 12,000,000 copies and on an average Tuesday there’s 150,000 players playing at any time. I get the hate for having to be connected to the Internet to play a game but that’s kind of the schtick for Helldivers whether you’re into or not.

I just want an affordable electric car. Can we please focus on this?
