After his arrest, Roberts admitted to also stealing dinosaur bones and fossils from the Natural History Museum in Salt Lake City.
Checks out.
Because how to use it is baked into what it is. Like many big tech products, it’s not just a tool but also a philosophy. To use it is also to see the world through its (digital) eyes.
AGI doomers, yes.
I wouldn’t reject the label “AI Doomer”, myself. But I don’t have a strong position on utopia/dystopia when it comes to AGI.
Mostly because I think it’s so far away, that there’s a real good chance that we bet the farm on something much, much dumber than AGI.
Like a fancy autocomplete.
And hook it up to something unforgivably dangerous.

They don’t want copyright power to expand further. And I agree with them, despite hating AI vendors with a passion.

These findings are consistent with a growing body of research showing how AI systems often misclassify, perpetuate discrimination toward or otherwise harmtrans and disabled people. In particular, identities that defy categorization clash with AI systems that are inherently designed to reduce complexity into rigid categories. In doing so, AI systems simplify identities and can replicate and reinforce bias and discrimination – and people notice.
Makes sense.
These systems exist to sand off the rough edges of real life artifacts and interactions, and these are people who’ve spent their whole lives being treated like an imperfection that just needs to be smoothed out.
Why would you not be wary?
Low humidity. Good for longevity of electronics, and makes the evaporative cooling more efficient. So it’s a matter of the benefits of that vs. the cost of the added heat.
They already prosecute people under the unauthorized access provision. They just don’t prosecute rich people under it.
