@RickiTarr in a company where I used to work, the senior VP held an 8 hour meeting with all of senior management to discuss the fact that no work was getting done because everyone was sitting in meetings.

@zzt Harry Frankfurter (cite On Bullshit) defines BS as statements that may or may not be true, the person saying it "does not care." They only want it to be plausible. The mixture of truth and lies in a palatable wrapper makes it worse than real lies and harder to distinguish.

LLMs are BS generators by their nature.

The tech lords are solving the low quality BS penury problem, <sarcasm> since we all have noticed too little shoddy BS in our lives <\sarcasm>.

Let's all keep pointing out that AGI and superintelligence will be more LLM BS by their very nature

@RickiTarr Kid in our neighborhood beat me up because I did not go to the Baptist Church. While pounding me he kept repeating that he was better because he was a devout Christian.

I also had an uncle who was ordained, spoke in tongues, and would bless his car each morning to banish the demons.

If you have not guessed thus far, we lived in the South.

@cwebber I guess there will be Linux versions hosted in the "free world." You will have to use a VPN to download the ISO and install it clandestinely. Tor and I2P in the distros. No AI spyware. May get people to drop Apple/MS systems.

I see mainly upsides.

@sand @RickiTarr "To pose an insider threat"

@GossiTheDog Did you see the Easterly post where she said cybersecurity personnel are no longer needed, because GenAI?

@molly0xfff Proof of this idea:

"During his study in 1939, Dantzig solved two unproven statistical theorems due to a misunderstanding. Near the beginning of a class, Professor Spława-Neyman wrote two problems on the blackboard. Dantzig arrived late and assumed that they were a homework assignment. According to Dantzig, they "seemed to be a little harder than usual", but a few days later he handed in completed solutions for both problems, still believing that they were an assignment that was overdue.[4][6] Six weeks later, an excited Spława-Neyman eagerly told him that the "homework" problems he had solved were two of the most famous unsolved problems in statistics.[2][4] He had prepared one of Dantzig's solutions for publication in a mathematical journal.[7] "

@RickiTarr being surrounded by hungry, desperate, and sick people costs more than you get in your tax break

@HistoPol @gerrymcgovern Now I understand why they are making a deal to put the AI data centers in the UAE. That is bound to result in lots of savings in terms of cooling and abundant access to water.

@weatherwest Nothing to worry about. The tech billionaires have already invested in underground bunkers in remote places to live in after society collapses. So, they will survive in comfort. You can take solace in that.

Peter Thiel's statements are helpful in that regard. Everyone should live on their own private island, because democracy and freedom are incompatible.

If you have not done so, we'll, you were warned.

@dalias @tasket @Gargron With Zuckerberg, it became obvious to me that he is a prostitute when they found an advertising target group labeled "jew haters." He builds a business on selling access to people that want to kill him and his family.

@Gargron the clue is "anyone with a conscience." That leaves out the tech industry, Republicans, and evangelicals

@joby short answer. All data collected by any Tesla sensor belongs to Tesla to do whatever they want. That includes employees passing around video recordings of naked customers as a joke.

It is in the terms of service. If you do not agree, they turn off ALL the software.

Have a nice day.

@glynmoody Why not move this to #TikTok and #youtube ?

Will have wider reach. #MarkZuckerbeg Sucks

@Jumpmed @Pistolenkind @RickiTarr Arab voters in Michigan also voted for trump because they hate gays, too.
