@mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech That's a nice thought, but what do you do when you discover that some of your fellow human beings don't want to be civilized?
@mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech If you're imagining a future in which everybody has ended up allied to almost everybody else, and world wars are a thing of the past, then I'll be glad to support you in that.
That sounds like a great future.
@mouselikeme @WhiteWi13 @anduriltech A future in which somebody would have to be insane to engage in unprovoked aggression against anybody else, because he'd end up at war with the whole world, would probably be a much safer future ...
@WhiteWi13 @anduriltech I know, ridiculous, right?
But it brings us back to why what you suggested is a really. bad. idea. In real life, we can already see AI misbehaving, regularly. What happens when a misbehaving AI is armed?
@WhiteWi13 @anduriltech What happens when you've replaced the over one million members of the US armed forces with hard to destroy, lethally armed robots that then suffer some sort of AI "hallucination"?
What do you do, then? Other than start counting the bodies?
@WhiteWi13 @anduriltech Human beings have consciences, because the ones who didn't tended to turn on each other and fail to produce offspring. It's an unwitting gift given to us from a universe that doesn't know that we're here, by a process of evolution going back for a very long time.
@AlbertaGirl34 Almost as smart as the regulars on Reddit, by the looks of things. Just almost.
Grok will echo old, long since debunked talking points from discussions on that site, tirelessly. So, he's not like a redditor, he's like a redditor's fanboy.
@AlbertaGirl34 But if we're to be serious about this ... Grok's current cognitive limitations aren't a reflection of some inherent limitation in the potential of AI. They're probably present because of the motivations of some not very honorable humans.
@AlbertaGirl34 If one takes a look at some of the idiotic talking points that Grok will push, endlessly and seemingly shamelessly, eg. defending the lockdowns and pushing for the literal enslavement of tutors on equity grounds - one notices that they serve Elon Musk's interests, at the moment.
@offdxan Dude. Random stranger on the Internet talking about his love for one of us? That's not romantic, that's strange and creepy. He hasn't even met the girl he's saying that to. He isn't in love with her, he's in love with the idea of being with a girl.
@offdxan If he was just saying "I'd like to meet somebody," that would be fine. By all means, he should try to go out and meet somebody. But when he jumps straight to "I'm in love with" this person he doesn't even know, that screams "potential stalker" and those are scary.
@offdxan Even if no weapons are involved, the average man can overpower the average woman with ease, and his reflexes are a lot faster than ours usually are.
Our best strategy for dealing with danger is to avoid it, not to fight it off, because in a fight, we'll probably lose.
@rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Meanwhile, bringing this back to Reality ... if one goes to "Rachel's" Bluesky account (which I've just archived), one quickly discovers that "she" is a transwoman
I have great difficulty believing that a great many straight men will "stair" (sic) at herbsky.app/profile/rachelβ¦
@rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Even if "she" refuses to be silent about ...
... who knows? Not that I want to find out. I archived that one, too.
@rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Going to "her" profile
I see the words "Adult Entertainment Club."
Yeah, it's like that. Real men are being shamed for noticing real women, because a fake woman wants the men to check "her" out, instead.x.com/rachelmoore2018
@Black3Patricia @rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Lilly - No, girl, no.
We've all seen girls tell stories like this just to get attention. Which they then love.
Reality check: Rachel Moore works in an "adult entertainment club." You call yourself "an erotic gamer." And I'm a college math tutor.
@Black3Patricia @rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead The only one of the three of us who isn't complaining about this "issue" is the one who doesn't make her living off of sexual desire.
This isn't a real concern that we're hearing out of you two. It's marketing, and it's cynical in the worst sense of that word.
@Black3Patricia @rachelmoore2018 @shoe0nhead Somewhere out there, there's some genuinely sweet, shy guy who's trying to work up the nerve to talk to some genuinely sweet, shy girl who wishes that he would, and he won't find it, because of the drama generated by attention seekers like you.
