Tate has, in some sense, many good qualities. He’s strong, athletic, and motivated.

Really telling since none of those are good characteristics in the moral sense of "good". Like what the fuck is "motivated" even doing there, Sauron was also extremely motivated, mate.

Does an outrageously big ass allow you to pull more outrageous bullshit claims out of if?

Welcome to the Aperture Science AI Welfare Debate Week! [confetti]

Are you a self-proclaimed smart person? Do you need to share your shower -- [sarcastically] thoughts -- with the world? Do you struggle to make friends with other non-robotic entities? Our facilities are an ideal place for an -- [pause] exceptional -- member of society as yourself.

In our open and legally nonliable environment you will be able to discuss and share all of your ideas, fears, delusions, and otherwise intrusive thoughts with a wide range of AI cores, objects, turrets, failed experiments, and/or garbage compactors. Here you can freely throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. (Please do not actually throw spaghetti at our walls. The portal-conductive surfaces emit deadly neurotoxin when in contact with tomato sauce. I always wondered who designed them that way. Oh well.).

  1. Sure, I'm not even going to verify this one since it's so low stakes.
  2. This is ill-defined.
  3. Again ill-defined, and I need dates on this, we've been sequencing DNA for like 50yrs at this point.
  4. Lol, Neuralink kills monkeys, there's zero indication of its "inevitability".
  5. Lol^2, none of that shit works mate. Name one person whose life was extended with cryonics.
  6. AI is ill-defined, plus dates please.
  7. And how well did that go?
  8. First of all, that's called Moore's Law after the actual guy who made this prediction, you can't credit someone else than Moore for Moore's Law, wtf. Second, this hasn't held for at least a decade now; we've been focusing on completely different things than raw CPU speed to actually increase compute.
  9. "Answer questions" there is a load-bearing term. Did he mean search engines? Is this deriberately vague?
  10. I'm sorry? First, a 3D printed prosthetic is not an exoskeleton, what kind of a logic leap is that. Second, citation needed on "3D printable prosthetic limbs" actually being in use right now on any scale.

It's called a function plot for a reason!

If we grow AIs too big, say, bigger than the Moon, then well, the Moon could get jealous and mad at us.

Wytham abbey was technically a manor house but “EA gets a castle” is objectively a funnier meme.

My "My non-profit castle is actually a manor house" t-shirt provokes a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt.

Also I'm sorry, but "EA buys a castle, but akchualy it's a manor house so it's cool" is objectively the funniest meme.

None of this tomfoolery would matter if it weren’t for the tech billionaires.

This is going to be the subheading in future history books talking about the XXI century.

Okay, let's see...

first paragraph: Unfolding as some cosmic story, the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have given rise to large language models (LLMs) with unprecedented accuracy, fluency and utility. It's almost as if there's a cognitive big bang exploding into our human universe.

Nope, no, nonono, you're full of shit and I refuse to read the rest. Good day sir. I said good day!
