to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence

I was wondering when they’d start building Roko’s Basilisk.

“Yes officer, that’s the guy” 🫵

There is a third category of people larger than the other two straw man categories you listed who see the potential of AI to automate their jobs, and want to ensure that they are on the side that works with AI rather than the side that gets replaced by it.

Not really. I have a lot of trouble relating to other straight/cis men. The more time I spend around someone, the less I like them. I pretty much hate most “masculine” stuff. I have started to prefer ephemeral stuff like talking people up in public, doing board games and trivia nights, and attending niche meetups. Friendships rarely stick, but I do see the same people periodically which is nice

I’ve tried gaming, but card games are too expensive for my interest level, and I get burned out out video games too quickly to get into competitive stuff. A bunch of my friends from college bond over this, and it kinda sucks to feel incompatible with it. I sometimes get in on an D&D game which is great, but not especially frequent.

I have more female and LGBTQ friends than anything, but it’s hard to feel fully included in those communities either because I’m pretty much a normie. It’s still the most positive community I am a part of and tend to earn trust and an ally pretty quickly, so I lean on it.

I’m also pretty autistic and mostly want to talk to people about Linux, mesh networks, and data hoarding, and I have my best luck online. I’m a part of a few niche online communities and do IRL meetups and stuff.

I work in word tech startups, and like my coworkers, but they’re not my close friends. Still, it’s the closest I get to “my people”, but it’s mostly remote work and hardly anyone ever lives near me.

I an excellent relationship with my wife and she has a much easier time making friends. She and her friends all think it’s weird that I don’t have many close friends, and it really does feel like it’s just hard to be a social man these days.

It does get to be hard. I do sometimes worry that I am uniquely unlikeable, but I also don’t ever get that feedback. I just have no idea where I would find the kind of friend that thinks writing NixOS flakes and Terraform scripts is a fun leisure activity.

There were way more than 2 things that Apple produced under Jobs…

This is a sponsored article. It’s an ad.

It’s just a PD adapter. Useful, but don’t spend extra for some brand paying for Verge endorsements.

Every one of these symbols goes before the number: $€£¥₹

Where are you from where it comes after? What currency do you use?

The only time this comes after the number, that I am aware of, is when you use abbreviations like USD or EUR instead of the symbol.

Don’t have a pet if you’re going to leave it alone all day. Have pets. How are they going to get lonely now?

The shenanigans my cat gets up to while I’m gone suggests otherwise. Of course, the dog probably would be thinking about me if he wasn’t stressing out about what the cat was doing.

Someone’s gotta do it. 😅

It wasn’t considered ethical in Southam’s day either. He was found guilty of fraud, deceit, and unprofessional conduct related to the experiment you’re citing.

Those experiments didn’t prove anything. There is a 0.00% chance that cancer rates are increasing because cancer is actually airborne and contagious. It’s not just stupid for you to be saying something like that, it’s irresponsible.

Chester Southam injected live cancer cells into people who already had cancer to see if their immune systems would respond a certain way. His experiments do not in any way prove that cancer can be spread between people. His subjects had cancer before he injected them.

What Southam is mostly known for is being an immoral quack who experimented on people without their consent. He was convicted of multiple crimes related to the cruel human experiments you seem to admire for some reason.

Ridiculous. This would violate the law of conservation of mass. WMDs are not physically possible.

I know that the bar is pretty low for a shower thought, but this is irresponsibly misinformed. There is only one known form of contagious cancer, and it only affects a single species of fish in one lake.

Confidently stating that cancer is contagious between humans, in my books, is spreading medical misinformation.

That’s what school staff is for, helicopter parent.

Saying “X should be banned” should be banned.

“I hope your day is as pleasant as you are”

If you get mad, it’s an admission that you’re an asshole.

Okay, hear me out. Actually use it as a gimp mask, for BDSM stuff. Put on big headphones and play your own voice back into your ears full volume while someone edges you and slaps you around a bit, forcing you to moan into your own ears super loud if you can’t keep your mouth shut and stop complaining, while also muffling your cries so nobody but you has to hear it.

Anyone know the brand?
