I don’t hate AI. I hate the system in which automation is a bad thing. In which an individual’s only worth is the value they produce.

We should be elated that AI are taking peoples jobs because they are no longer jobs people “have” to do.

Instead people are terrified (and rightly so) because no jobs in a society that requires you to have a job means you have no worth. The capital class will use the disproportionate power given by ownership of AI as the final step to go from owning mostly everything to just owning everything.

Ask yourself, if there comes a point in time where automation has replaced most of the human workforce, and automation has replaced most of the military and policing forces. Do you really think those at the top are going to view the unemployable and unhappy masses as anything other than a threat? What do you think they’ll do then?

Makes sense. In any modern peer-on-peer or near-peer-on-peer conflict there will be ever greater needs for close knit coordination.

Provably unfriendly intelligence attempts to build unprovably friendly intelligence

They charge by the token so I’m not so sure about that

Unless you solve the need to eat food and drink water I think the better solution is to stop ruining our biosphere instead of building new humans.

Wait, I’m still not clear on exactly how these protect against ionizing radiation. Is there some unique structure of these proteins that act as shielding?

It issue was with brittle solder on the boards and wrapping it in a towel and turning it on would allow it to get hot enough to (hopefully) re-flow broken connections.

Yeah, I’m not sure what timeline you’re posting from, but in this one the Russian invasion isn’t going so well.

Canada has some of the most unaffordable housing in the world. It makes sense that people want the freedom to work from cheaper locations. I moved from Vancouver to Calgary when I went 100% remote and I have not regretted the decision at all

Does anyone have suggestions for how an individual can feel like they’re actually doing something. I already make donations to organizations that advocate for climate activism, vote at local and national level for candidates what support climate action, and in my own live I try to be conscious about the environment impacts or my lifestyle and purchases. Despite all that I still feel like I'm changing nothing. I still feel like there are theses colossal and obvious problems bearing down on our species and all I can do is watch it happen. I hate this feeling of helplessness.

Damn, I wish I’d known this existed. I ended up building a parser for the raw battle-scribe xml files
