Another difference is that this time it is Europe the one that it being mistreated. When it was a random country from the third world the one that suffered their abuses, nobody gave a shit. Now the tables have turned.

@jwildeboer

The US has always been a rogue state. The difference is that instead of disguising what they do under the pretense of defending democracy and blabla, now they are acting hastly without need to pretend.

@evan @BathysphereHat

As a practitioner, I highly recommend it.

@jwildeboer

Well, then this applies to anyone who uses violence and death to attain their goals, don't you think?

@aral

Nope. It was an state sponsor of terrorism before. Remember Pinochet or the contras. Or the banana wars from the XIX century.

@aral I do share you pessimistic views, but I don't blame AI or doubt of their abilities (moral reasoning with LLMs is an area that has produced several scientific works such as this https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.15399.pdf). I blame the humans who are leading its development with the ill motivations of getting richer no matter the cost. It is capitalism, not AI, what is the problem here.

@aral I don't think it could be much worse, honestly.

@aral Oh, yes, that social intelligence that allows us to constantly kill each other while we destroy our planet. Great safeguards, they are working beautifully.

@cstross May I ask what is exactly "there"? The soul?
