Seer of the tapes! Knower of the episodes!

  • The economic bubble being created between the AI and hardware companies is going to pop and take out huge swathes of the broader economy, a la mortgages in 2008.

  • I got a contact sugar high just from clicking that link.

  • The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it's bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.

    otherwise we would just switch it off

    If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.

  • What, am I meeting the Pope or something?

  • A paperclip maximizer driven by self-preservation? What could possiblie go wrong?

  • Pirate King: HE DID?!? ... oh... oh, yes so he did... I was there.

  • Now wait a second. I don't think Quark ever sold shoddy merchandise. Overpriced? Sure! Stolen? Probably! Contraband? Absolutely! But low quality merchandise doesn't breed customer loyalty. It doesn't generate repeat business.

  • Who grades the test? Who judges the competition?

  • The true captain will give up the chair rather than see it cut in half.

  • There are three things you need to remember as a starship captain: 1) keep your shirt tucked in; 2) go down with the ship; and 3) detailed knowledge of ornithology.

  • Yes

  • God dammit Loch Ness monster, I ain't gonna give you no tree fiddy.

  • Halley is the one who predicted its return mathematically. I'd say that's more significant than seeing it twice in one lifetime and supposing that it's the same comet.

  • Sorry, I lost the world's smallest violin. This is the best I can do: 🖕

  • Makes sense that he'd use an antique.
