Definitely 21+. Just trying to fucking exist. Old enough to know better, so I try to do better. Probably old enough to be your dad. No DMs please.

Jimmy Carr on what people are getting wrong about AI: Comedian Jimmy Carr argues that the public conversation about AI is fixated on the wrong risks. Job loss dominates the headlines, but he believes two other consequences deserve far more attention. "People are worried about losing their job. Perfectly valid thing to worry about, but I think you're worried about the wrong thing." His first concern is what AI does to the economics of surveillance. "The cost of running an authoritarian regime like the Stasi has come down by 10 orders of magnitude in the last 3 years. You used to, if you had to run the Stasi, if you're in East Germany back in the day, that was like 20% of GDP on spying on people and keeping an eye out. Now you've got a bunch of cameras, you've got AI, everyone's got a phone on them and we're tracking everything at all times." Liberal democracies might resist the temptation for now, but Jimmy isn't confident that will hold: "Our leaders, how long will they resist that temptation? Digital ID is f****** terrifying. There's lots of lessons from history about digital ID that we should take very seriously. Even if the good guys are in charge when it comes in, at what point does the world turn and people vote for a bad guy and then they have the power?" He points to a historical example: "More Jews died in the Netherlands than in France. You know why? Better records. Holland kept better records so they knew where everyone was. That's terrifying." Quoting Thomas Sowell, he frames it as a tradeoff: "There's no solutions, only trade-offs. Safety and freedom. Where do you want to be on that line?" On the job concern itself, Jimmy is reassuring: "You've got transferable skills. And if you've got critical thinking and you're a smart person, jobs for life is gone, but you'll find something else to do. Have some belief in yourself." His second under-discussed concern is the opposite of a worry; it's an opportunity we're sleepwalking past. Borrowing from Peter Thiel, Jimmy argues that progress in physics has stalled: "Minus the screens from any room, we're living in the 1970s. Nothing's happened in physics since 72. String theory has not got us anywhere." But pointing AI at physics could change everything: "Every bit of technology that we have comes from the physics department. And you know what happens when you point AI at that? That feels to me like something that people aren't really thinking about and could be incredible. We could have a world of plenty… if we increase productivity by 50 times and there's human flourishing. Fantastic. I hope that's the world we live in. But it could go another way."

I love hearing peoples perspectives on life, we're all coping our way through it differently but the psyop that aliens are doing this and that and not the rich people who can basically buy everything and everyone they want, with our own tax dollars, "hard work", & sacrificing us.

They want to treat us all like cattle and servants. That's there big fantasy. Control over the population, not freedom, control of everything you'll say, everything you'll do, and everything you'll get to eat. Insanely narcissistic work and the world is should be pissed AF.

Government overreach has gotten really out of hand with the Pentulant President in charge, moving into dystopian America at breakneck speeds.

@PaulFTW87 @sagacious_steve @Linuxydable @Dragonoth @CounterStrike I do think valve is better in anything than riot, but kernel level anticheat shouldn't be legal in any case. If your problem is hackers/cheaters, than making a closed memory application with the OS signature to frozen memory should be better (which would require Microsoft work)

@PaulFTW87 You do have a point in "another potential vulnerability" but the actual practical risk for random users is near to non-existent even compared to other things. You do know that you're essentially just trusting steam that games on their platforms don't come with malware right?
