Metal taste? I would get my liver and kidneys checked.

Speaking of resident evil: I really like the movies. All except the last one and the one in the desert. They might shit all over the games and any semblance of continuity, but if you can shut off your brain for a while (as much as for any other action horror movie), they are fun. Especially in a proper home cinema and even more so in 3D.

As someone with lactose intolerance: Häagen Dasz and lactase pills is the shit (not the shits).

There’s no way to save that face anymore.

Their first step should have been to disable all the data collection and „AI“. If they were actually serious about saving resources.

They were too ridiculous even for money laundering.

Are we reaching a plateau though? I would prefer it, and it looks like we could, but the progress from GPT-5 to 6 or Opus to Fable has still been very noticeable on more complex tasks. They are just less public due to stricter limits or straight up pay by use. And where does that plateau lie? Within our grasp or maybe just outside of it?

What has me sharing the concerns at least in part are the facts that

1. those employees have access to less restricted models and much more resources than the average joe. That huggingface attack was committed by a huge swarm overcoming the guardrails and engaging in cheating and crime to reach their goal.

2. they are working on cutting the human out of the loop for AI that improves itself. Maybe that won’t work entirely, but what if it does?

3. the warnings are starting to come not from Altman, Musk et al, but from people who could have something to lose for blowing the whistle. „Could“, because I don’t know them either and there could still be ulterior motives, not just as obvious as with the psychos at the top.

The whole thing comes down to one set of questions, in my opinion: what actually IS intelligence, consciousness, sentience and where do they come from? Since we have not been able to properly define that, it would be foolish to think that we have a definite answer to the AI questions.

We like to consider ourselves something extraordinary out of the animal kingdom. And while I prefer the existence as a human to being a dog or mollusk, I have always considered that assumption quite arrogant.

The truth is: we don’t really know. And that means we can not know if something comparable or stronger could be created or emerge from something other than squishy meat.

Those are quite philosophical questions. Instead of thinking first and acting after that we are much too busy building datacenters to conjure even more boobie snaps out of thin air and somehow weaponize that newfangled thing.

THAT is what scares me.

The country became poorer and dirtier. Poorer because your billionaire pedo friends were allowed to take everyone’s money. Dirtier because your dotard boss coaxed the deplorables into the sunlight and made himself their king.

Because he is a creepy ass motherfucker.

New Star Trek manages to look dark even with tons of lights for the lensflares. Because nothing says „space“ and „modern“ like working in a dim, depressing space while simultaneously getting blinded by half a dozen lights strategically placed at eye height.
