Fucking beyond insane "fuck you" from @googlecloud. Literally never seen this before in my life They automatically LOWERED our quota, causing an incident, and then refuse to automatically upgrade it? We've had such a litany of issues I don't know how anybody uses this product

Yann LeCun
Yann LeCun@ylecun·
Once AI systems become more intelligent than humans, humans we will *still* be the "apex species." Equating intelligence with dominance is the main fallacy of the whole debate about AI existential risk. It's just wrong. Even *within* the human species It's wrong: it's *not* the smartest among us who dominate the others. More importantly, it's not the smartest among us who *want* to dominate others and who set the agenda. We are subservient to our drives, built into us by evolution. Because evolution made us a social species with a hierarchical social structure, some of us have a drive to dominate, and others not so much. But that drive has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence: chimpanzees, baboons, and wolves have similar drives. Orangutans do not because they are not a social species. And they are pretty darn smart. AI systems will become more intelligent than humans, but they will still be subservient to us. They same way the members of the staff of politicians or business leaders are often smarter than their leader. But their leader still calls the shot, and most staff members have no desire to take their place. We will design AI to be like the supersmart-but-non-dominating staff member. The "apex species" is not the smartest but the one that sets the overall agenda. That will be us.

@sdccu What's the deal with your app/site? "We're sorry, but we were unable to verify your identity using the option you selected." Prompts with both text and call on both app and site. It's always something.

When I tell the Windows Terminal team something is simple, I am "misguided", being "somewhat combative" and am "impugning the reader". But a year later when they call the exact same thing "trivial", that is just, you know, them writing a blog post: devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/ca…

Google disabled my husband's account and it is giving us no reason for it. Yet it asks for an appeal in a form as the only way to restore it. Appealing a decision without knowing what you're appealing is a recipe for success #googleaccountdisabled

@TorstenBeeck 4, 5, 6, and 7 I buy. 1, 2, and 3 are so clearly delusional, they‘re almost insulting. I do believe Facebook tells themselves they’re true.

I accidentally bought another Niz electro capacitive keyboard. But it’s not my fault this time. The BLE+RGB model was out of stock so I accidentally kept a tab open to keep checking and that happened yesterday so as you can clearly see, it’s not my fault. nizkeyboard.com/product/2019-n…
