@woke8yearold @KeyTryer This would also make it 1, just delayed.

@woke8yearold @KeyTryer Climate change is 2, industrial civilization could be unable to reform after having exploited all the critical resources that can be extracted without advanced machinery.

[go to the elephant site @[email protected] @rechelon]

It's absolutely a fucking social construct or do you actually think conceptual carvings like "species" or "planet" are somehow fucking deep joints in the ontology of the universe?

Oh yes, the universe thinks there's some deep truth to whether Pluto is a "planet". Fucking hell.

[go to the elephant site @[email protected] @rechelon]

Obviously this hypothetical is a lie that ignores existing law to forbid it, but lmao it really is astonishing how mad the nazis are to discover no civilized person in our society ever swallowed the bullshit lie of "nationhood."

"Was Ben Franklin a distroist?"

Longest thread in the history of twitter, closed by the fascist mods after 20k comments.

[Dodge This Security @shotgunner101]

Anyone who can't see what is happening is blind.

1) Banning of the ability to have privacy with a cellphone
2) Banning of the ability to own a foreign router (which may not "comply" with future "required" legislation )
3) Identity checks at the OS, App Store and Service provider levels.
4) Ability to restrict individuals access to the internet, to given types of content, etc
5) Forced front and center "official" news media forced into online services.
6) Control over AI algorithms
7) Control over algorithms for visibility/sharing of content
8) Control over peoples cars (remote kill switches, embedded biometrics, automated reporting to LEO, inebriation checks).
9) Forced biometrics to login to computers, phones, etc
10) Digital ID to replace physical ID.
11) Digital cash to replace physical cash
12) Millions of biometrics and license place cameras + millions of "gun shot detection" systems
13) Banning of mobile applications and endpoint software the government deems wrong, dangerous, or incorrect, etc. (Tiktok, Kaspersky, etc)
14) AI being embedded in every processor, mobile device, desktop OS, etc.
15) Laws demanding "backdoored" encryption.
16) Laws demanding client side scanning.
17) Laws demanding control over speech deemed harmful, violent, dangerous, upsetting, etc
18) Charges and convictions against anyone releasing privacy focused software (tornado cash).
19) AI predictive policing and predictive dissent detection
20) Centralizing of all healthcare, psychological, financial, online, offline, travel and government records.
21) Forced biometrics collection to travel, attend public events, etc

@ndril @KeyTryer Consciousness vs pure replicators strikes again (?)

[GOON MASTER SOPHONT SIMP @SOPHONTSIMP]

“We can’t let AGI be open source because what if a dictator uses it. To prevent this we are leaving AGI in the hands of only a few groups/individuals who will surely never use the uncheckable, absolute power they will eventually obtain for ill.”

[ergopraxis.bsky.social @ergo_praxis]

It's astonishing people try to present prohibiting people or their guardians from making decisions about what material to access, whether and how they will be at all able to associate with others, whether and how they will be able to speak or create, as a regulation of big tech

[Key 🗝 🦊 @KeyTryer]

@Silenius22 The world can't be fundamentally changing!! I WAS PROMISED A STABLE STATIC WORLD!!

[go to the elephant site @[email protected] @rechelon]

Who cares about LLMs, what sorta loser doesn't think "worldwide intellectual property theft" is cool in all contexts and circumstances?

[ergopraxis.bsky.social @ergo_praxis]

In the UK if you honestly express favourable views about activist groups the government dislikes loyalty squads take you to the gulag for cognitive recalibration. Inquisitors often ask people if they support dissidents to test their mindless loyalty to the regime

None of that matters to them since children are property like a car or a dog or a chair. to them it sounds like saying a desk ornament needs to "see the world" or something, it sounds delusional and comical to them.

[Christina Tasty @ChristinaTasty]

It's truly abominable how quickly it went to "no it's just porn" to "everything in the centralised Internet is on lockdown until we are able to arrest everyone for memes"

Anarchists: "Abolish Bedtimes"

Everyone on the internet: har har har

The British: "We're giving legal adults on the internet a mandatory bedtime."

[GOON MASTER SOPHONT SIMP @SOPHONTSIMP]

There is no good ending that relies purely on good will for us to survive. Simply trusting people that with extreme power will do the right thing absent strong incentives has never worked out consistently. We should not expect it to work in the case that literally all incentives that keep us alive are systematically eliminated by a system like AGI or ASI.

[Ra -CascadeCamp 8/7-9 @slimepriestess]

i have the exact opposite take on this, the worst scenarios all come from institutional capture of AI happening faster than AI can bootstrap itself into cognizance.
