  • Anthropic says it ‘cannot in good conscience’ allow Pentagon to remove AI checks

  • Better to be skeptical about everyone here, and there are certainly no heroes.

    However it should be obvious that a country’s department of war surveilling its own citizens is a completely inappropriate overreach. They exist to protect the country from outside threats. You’re casting it as some kind of discrimination, and claiming it would be more moral to treat everyone the same, but that seems willfully obtuse to me. Calling it a “special carve out” for a country to protect its own citizens… come on. Obviously since you are not an American it does nothing for you but you are working way too hard to spin that up into a sin.

  • Yeah you’re not convincing me, just insulting me repeatedly. Like clockwork, you bitch about how boring I sound. Well you sound like a grade A neckbeard idiot to me but clearly you’re wildly entertained by your own addled mind, so carry on dude.

  • I don’t think you understand the term “internally consistent” if you automatically think it means dull. Are you only able to stay awake when there are contradictions and logic gaps for you to fill in and rationalize yourself? Maybe you should just write yourself instead of reading half baked trash.

    Whether this is canon or just a legend in the world, it’s just as illogical either way. I think you meant for that to be some kind of magic trick that made my objection go away but it went nowhere.

  • Crossing off mass surveillance and automated killing isn’t everything they could have taken a moral stand on. Personally I don’t think any list will be long enough for the Pentagon, and if it were, there wouldn’t be anything left that could be worked on.

    But I keep hearing you say that no mass surveillance and no automated killings is so very little - almost nothing. That doesn’t seem right to me. I think those are both pretty big things. TBH I don’t know exactly how to feel about it all but I’m not horrified that their moral stance would include only that.

  • Hey if you prefer “imagination work” to “thinking,” don’t let me discourage you. But I did easily as much sweaty rationalization as you did.

    I prefer fantasy creations that have some internal consistency and don’t overstrain credulity in service of one super obvious on-the-nose effect. When I can hear the author grunting with effort trying to horrify me, it ruins the horror.

    Do you mean that all this about principles is a smoke screen and Anthropic are just using it as a front to squeeze for more money?

  • MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis

  • This is cool. I just hope game developers also get on this bandwagon. We could use a 4-year moratorium on increasing minimum system requirements.

  • Wow, fascinating. So a couple of guys who did a lot of dubbing work sort of created this gonzo style and got away with applying it willy nilly. I mean I get it. Sometimes you have to get weird to keep yourself awake at work. The Wikipedia article mentions further down that one of the editors they worked with “suspected a joke.” :D

  • This little bit of lore tries to be so horrifying with its “slow digestion over a thousand years” but wouldn’t you be dead from lack of water within 2 days?

    (mad scramble)

    “Acksully no, the Sarlaac taps into your bloodstream to provide you with sustenance the whole time so you stay alive and conscious.”

    Okay but lifespans are not 1000 years even.

    (madder scramble)

    “Ackshully the Saralaac rewrites your DNA to extend your lifespan so you can be conscious over 1000 years.”

    Wow that’s pretty impressive. How many species is its process compatible with? And how does such a lengthy expenditure of energy make sense, nutritionally? It takes more energy to keep a human body alive for 1000 years than the Sarlaac can possibly derive from one human corpse.

    (mad mad mad mad scramble, this time using the Force)

    “IT’S STAR WARS OKAY. STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT ALL DETAILED.”

    Haven’t you been adding all the details?

    “Mods! Rule 1!”

  • They wouldn’t be negotiating if they didn’t want the co tract to begin with. It’s not like they can’t tell from 100 miles off who they’d be getting into bed with. I’m glad to see they have some lines drawn they won’t cross, but it’s laughable for you to question that they didn’t want to be here in the first place.

  • Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’

    Jump

  • I love to see that kind of intercultural reading being made. In good faith, I respect it and disagree with its internal logic. If you think help is expected of you, you will not offer any mention of whether or not it’s a problem for you, period.

  • I hear coyotes outside my bedroom window every night and I’m so glad I know what they are. The first time I ever heard them, I was alone in a tent surrounded by them. Absolute Blair Witch horror for about 5 minutes until my brain was awake enough to realize what I was hearing.

  • The bar for “convincing” is very low when you want to believe.

  • NBC Interview abruptly ends after New Yorker blames private equity and landlords for the city's issues

  • I used to have this NYT lifestyle reporter in my Facebook and they were constantly posting hyper-specific quote requests. “If you are a bartender who has seen more business from upscale clientele since Covid ended and think this is because affluent people have less empathy, I’d like to interview you for an upcoming article!”

    It’s fucking embarrassing how the News already knows exactly what they want to say before they even go to people, and they just want people to repeat their line like a good little drone and then go away. And most people will for the mere chance to have their face or name in the news.

  • That’s a very generous reaction to being cussed at for following instructions. I have no problem being asked to wait. I actually appreciate having someone acknowledge that I’m there by telling me to wait. But damn. Keep it classy.

  • I’ve come to accept that “no problem” is just some people’s way to say “you’re welcome” but I still really dislike the sound of it right after I say thank you for something completely normal.

    Cashier: “Here’s your change.”

    Me: “Thank you.”

    Cashier: “No problem.”

    My brain: “Oh… I didn’t even think it could have been a problem to hand me my change, but I guess I’m glad to hear that it was not in fact any problem.”
