Hey! I'm going to move over to BlueSky, due to the fact that this platform is filled with alt-right freaks that post the most heinous content, and seem to despise marginalised people having rights / existing.

I like how no one is talking about how Elon Musk just rigged the election.

[michael wave @michael___wave]

not the first or last to say it, but if i run over human beings with a bulldozer, the sight of their mangled bodies is not something I witnessed, it is something I DID

This is the publication list of @larsblackmore, who is Senior Principal Mars Landing Engineer at SpaceX, and in charge of the control system for Starship.

He did a PhD at MIT on stochastic control in 2007.
He then worked at JPL where his specialty was "precision landing."
Then, he joined SpaceX in 2011 and essentially stopped publishing shortly thereafter.

The point is: you can't learn that stuff without being actively involved in the research community, reading other people's publications, and actively doing research and publishing yourself.

And I ask: does THIS sound like somebody being paid by Russia to you?!

[Fella who bonks and knows thïngs 🇺🇸 @Crushcommies420]

@Timcast So you are telling us you published something without doing any fact checking... Shocking

[William Lumley @wlumley95]

The amount of transphobia that exists on this website is disgusting. A real shame was Musk has done.

So Elon Musk's daughter (Vivian) posted on threads again, this time about @WalterIsaacson.
She called him out over the Elon Musk biography he authored. 🧵

Nobody asked for this, but here's an etymological diagram showing how the word 'fascism' is related to the word 'fajita'.

This is embarrassing. 🍿

AI is not some sort of natural phenomenon that will just emerge and become dangerous.
*WE* design it and *WE* build it.

I can imagine thousands of scenarios where a turbojet goes terribly wrong.
Yet we managed to make turbojets insanely reliable before deploying them widely.

The question is similar for AI:
"do we think there exists at least one design of an AI system that is simultaneously safe/controllable, and can fulfill objectives in more intelligent ways than humans ?"
If the answer is yes, we'll be fine.
If the answer is no, we won't build it.
Right now, we don't even have a hint of a design of a human-level intelligent system.

So it's too early to worry about it.
And it's way too early to regulate it to prevent "existential risk."

Honestly @macklemore’s “Hind’s Hall” is the most Rage Against The Machine song since Rage Against The Machine.
