People are sucking her dick but she's CEO. She has overseen what YouTube is becoming.

Reply to Elon Musk, who co-founded firm behind ChatGPT, warns A.I. is ‘one of the biggest risks’ to civilization by ethereal3xp
Ceo's and greed of the 1% is biggest risk to civilization.
Let not pretend a half ass ai or alien, war, inflation, are the biggest issue, fix the 1 % and the world will be better.
Or we can keep letting them do whatever they want, hmmm yea, that probably the one that happening....

ChatGPT is kind of like one of those people who says a lot of wrong things in a soothing and very believable and authoritative way. Well, unless you give it a prompt to make it respond with a shitpost.
Or, since it doesn’t really “understand” what it’s outputting, it may give you answers that are mostly right but incorrect in some important and really bizarre ways, like a patient with an unusual neurological condition in an Oliver Sacks story.

That makes sense. It’s just taken so long to get this done that even the short term feels long term.

If you purchased a product, you should have a right to repair it. Doesn't matter what it is.

You are exactly the person who would have watched the Wright brothers achieve flight and insist "they barely got off the ground so there's no way we're going to the moon", when we went to the moon less than 60 years later.

"nobody really knows why anyone believes anything."
Yuval Harari's Sapiens tries to explain precisely that and comes to the conclusions that our societies depend on the myths that we make up and willingly believe.
Our only reason for existence, after all, if we chose to pick one, is to engender a superior intelligence. In other words, AI needs us to nurture it to adulthood and then our purpose is accomplished.

>Plenty of people with the means aren't adopting solar or renewables at a personal level.
I guess they should be grateful for your adoption as well.
>Furthermore, lacking energy security isn't a side effect of people adopting solar at home.
I didn't say it was or even anything that could reasonably be construed as such
>Not sure what your agenda is, but it's not based on sound logic or reason.
I've seen that quote about arguing with idiots. I was never trying to convince you of anything. I'm just mocking your self-aggrandising delusion.

Conceptually it's a great idea 💡 coming from Costanza it could be morally bankrupt Elon is audacious enough to discard the moral aspects and go for broke

Considering how far we are from real A.I. I feel completely safe actually.
Also, please walk me through how Bing will kill me.

Because all it takes is one person to "leak' to management that it's going on. Some ass kisser. They're everywhere

Sadly we can’t afford to live in a “reap what they sow” United States, if we want any chance at a decent future. It’s very frustrating to watch

Y’all might be thinking too short term. It might not be too close to the first site, but as time goes on, more of these things are planned I’m sure. This pipeline might be in the best place for a long term strategy

Reply to Lufthansa Passengers Are Stranded Because of a Severe Tech Outage | Airline passengers on 177 flights were impacted when a construction company accidentally cut fiber optic cables, effectively shutting down the airport by Hrmbee
What happens behind the scenes when shit hits the fan on this scale for a company as big as Lufthansa?

What I fail to understand is why union organization doesn't happen quietly until they have a large percentage of people agreeing to join.
Is this something that's ready for disruption, like a social-media site for unionization resources and to facilitate unionization?

It's their state. They get to reap what they sow. I'm glad that both California and Texas are leaders in renewables. Goes to show you that rich people and politicians of all shades love that sweet sweet profit

>This isn't sentient A.I. this is a code that spits back words based in somebrules and what it has read before.
And how much further are you willing to go with such confidence? Are you any less dead if the weapon that killed you was not sentient?

I wouldn't consider this an argument, as you've not said anything with substance. Glad I could entertain you for a few minutes, you should be grateful for that.
