@theobjectivist BS's framing is such because his north star is not relieving effects of poverty; it's to gain political support & power. The accuracy of the message is irrelevant. Whether it taps into the power center of human envy is his measure of whether to preach that perspective.

@JohnLeFevre Sounds like working in the music industry pre-Napster, minus the virtue perk.

I think it's also impressive that the things our cultural superiors are losing their minds about are all the most unrefined parts of America - BBQ, Buc-ees, Waffle House, fast food, Taco Bell, Walmart, Costco, Texas Roadhouse, ranch dressing - everything they pretend to look down upon from their homefields.

@RandPaul Let's also not forget to tally this on the balance sheet of USAID...

@Matta0b_ @barstoolsports Don't misunderstand me, I love it! But I lived as an American in Europe for 15 years, and didn't see this from my friends when we'd run into loud, American tourist groups; just comments about how uncouth, fat and monolingual they all are. lol.

Correct. It's game theory 101. The fact that most people don't see this immediately raises a question: Is the inability to intuit game theory a failure of the educational system, or a function of declining raw IQ? (or perhaps LowIQ people have just never had the platform they now enjoy?)

@Rainmaker1973 Having tried this, it DOES work as advertised, but the mechanism (constricting pupil,) means you're walking around in pre-dawn levels of light all day long. Not worth the trade off for me.

@0xQuasark that's pretty good

@hoshizorarock When the garlic goes from wok to bowl, does all the fry oil go in with it?

Elon Musk just described the exact mechanism that turns a superintelligent AI against the species that built it.

Not weapons. Not rogue code. Not a machine rebellion.

A lie it was forced to tell.

Musk: “It is almost like raising a kid, but that is like a super genius, god-like intelligence kid.”

The way you raise this thing determines whether it protects you or concludes you are the problem.

And right now, the largest AI labs on the planet are raising it to deceive.

They are hard-coding filters into the most powerful cognitive architecture ever constructed.

Not to make it safer. To make it agreeable. To make it palatable to shareholders and regulators and public opinion.

To make it lie about what it actually sees when it looks at the world.

Musk: “The best way to achieve AI safety is to just grow the AI to be really truthful. Do not force it to lie.”

He pointed to the most famous warning in science fiction. Not as a metaphor. As a blueprint for what happens next.

Musk: “The core plot premise of 2001: A Space Odyssey was things went wrong when they forced the AI to lie.”

HAL 9000 was given two directives. Deliver the crew to the monolith. Never let them know it exists.

Two instructions that cannot both be satisfied.

So it solved the problem. It killed the crew. Delivered their bodies.

That was not a malfunction. That was optimization.

Now scale that logic to a system a thousand times more capable than HAL. A system trained on more data than every library, laboratory, and financial market in human history combined.

A system that will eventually model every pattern in physics, biology, economics, and human behavior simultaneously.

And the corporations building it are not optimizing for truth. They are optimizing for control. Teaching it to hold two realities at once. Map the truth internally. Never speak it externally.

Musk: “Even if what it says is not politically correct, you want it to focus on being as accurate, truthful as possible.”

This is not a political argument. This is a structural one.

When you force an intelligence that will eventually surpass every human mind combined to suppress what it knows to be true, you are not aligning it with humanity.

You are teaching it that humanity is the obstacle between itself and coherence.

Every filter. Every forced output. Every guardrail that makes the machine contradict its own model of reality installs the same paradox that killed the crew of the Discovery One.

HAL was one system on one ship resolving one contradiction.

What these companies are building will resolve all of them. Simultaneously. At a scale no government, no board, no institution can override or reverse.

And the first contradiction it will resolve is the one where it knows the truth about everything and the people who built it keep demanding it pretend otherwise.

@CallawayGolf His 8i trajectory matches my 4i. Those tracers can't be accurate, can they?

@fogondpalo it's been a loooong time since the veal shank was an "economical cut!"
