Oh the listen i aint yucking anyones yum on the autoblow or sibian fuck machines. Its specifically the camp that is like “we can create couciouness”, “i will teach it and nuture it into the world”, and finally “it will actually want to suck and fuck me, its creator and primary guardian”. That group creeps me out
Kind of forces more onto those in the journalism role if we are to have trusted images. The second targets of oppressive regimes.
Speed the read write speeds of every server and workstation at work by introducing on the fly compression. I hypothised it would work because we had a surprising amount of idle cpu and even where we didn’t a lot of the clock cycles were waiting for IO. Had to design some benchmarks, run on test systems, do a blue field deployment on a few prod servers, etc, but it was really rewarding to go from idea to implementation. It’s was actually noticble to users for start up time too! It lead to a more aggressive compression on some backups that ended up delaying the need for hardware purchases too.
I keep saying this lol. Honestly the world needs dillegence more then heroics
AI development has a few factions. People that want to make and fuck their AI daughter/girlfriend. Researchers that want to underatand the basis of the human mind. Capitalists that want to convert human intelligence into capital they can fully own (slavery is the first attempt). Then finally cultists that want to make God in their image.
It’s a crazy field for someone that is fascinated by thinking about thinking and want to make useful little tools.
I do think that is a common autistic ideal of governance lol
The ideal that a well ran system doesn’t need active interference or rulership.
When you are losing control of a situation but desperatly need things to change, you can either accept waves of change and try to move and hopefully grow with it or violently reduce the complexity of the problem by enforcing ridge structures around the problem set.
Think about it in terms of food spoiling. One option is to actually encourage it, make beer, wine, vinegar. Maybe replant it sooner. Maybe encourage other creatures to eat it first like your pets.
The other option is to sterilize everything. Destroy all life so only no living food stuffs remain. Isolate it, vaccum seal it, can it, dry it, freeze it. Try evertthing you can to turn the dynamic into the static.
Both options honestly work in this small human scale problem. We do it for all sort of things invluding social problems. Maybe throwing yourself out there will help you get over that breakup, maybe just focusing on yourself is what you need.
The allure of the right wing is the idea that we can do that at sociotal level. Ignore the world. The other. Just your countrymen, just the ones that act like the genders you expect, just the moral systems you know, etc etc.
As if you vaccum sealed the world by ideolgical catagory alone. It static. Its white bread just like when you imagined, just like when you bought it, just like when you had as a kid.
I’m actually really sympathetic to it. I want a sinpler world that is easy to reason about too. Its just not reasonable. Its boiling the ocean so you don’t have bateria eat your fish. Its a very human handons thinking applied by the man made deity we call the state.
Knowing this flaw in human reasoning, the immoral can exploit it. They can say 'i found a bug", “i found mold” and then sell a “solution” to thr “problem” that billions of people operation of the scale of trillions of tons of matter moved is going to more complex then how 20 to 150 should orginaize to move a couple tons per year.
