Just realized the Europeans will be present to watch Joey Chestnut inhale 84 pork pistols on live television in honor of our nation’s independence.

That one will break them completely.

Yawn. False premise.

Director James Cameron on why Big Tech owning AGI is scarier than any science fiction he's ever made:

"AGI will not emerge from a government funded program. It will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multi-billion dollar research."

And when that happens, he warns, you won't get a vote on it:

"So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are co-inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answers to the goals and rules of a corporation."

A corporation that already knows everything about you:

"An entity which has access to the comms, beliefs, everything you ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country via your personal data."

From there, the slide toward something far darker is shorter than most people think:

"Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism."

And even the best-case outcome isn't reassuring. Tech giants becoming the self-appointed arbiters of human good is, as he puts it, the fox guarding the hen house.

He's not buying the idea that these companies would stay benevolent with that kind of power:

"They would never ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash."

The sarcasm is the point.

Cameron has spent four decades imagining worst-case futures on screen. His verdict on this one:

"That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the Terminator 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it's no longer science fiction."

The “wait for evidence” crowd hates the “pattern recognition” crowd.

If you want demonstrable proof that you’re immersed in the most powerful propaganda system in human history, just realize literally nobody can afford anything, which in previous eras woulda created revolutionary conditions but in this era is barely a topic of public conversation.

Carl Jung on the cost of inaction:

"The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live."

Because truth in practice is a continual gradient, whereas truth in theory is a boolean. IMO

More compute can still hallucinate 🤷‍♂️

Which way, new-age AI Man ?

[NASA Mars @NASAMars]

By studying samples analyzed by the Curiosity rover, scientists have taken another step toward understanding whether life could have ever existed on Mars.

A new study suggests that non-biological sources cannot fully account for the abundance of organic compounds found in a sample collected by the rover.
