F*** Wayland
I mean, they suck for everyone - don’t get me wrong.
But being able to see them as an ego boost, or having the frustration be that you get low quality matches, as opposed to the punishing experience of “80% of the matches you get at all are catfishing bots” is very different.
It’s fascinating how different women’s experiences with these stupid things are than men’s…
I mean, at least you’re safe.
Your mind clone, however…
“You can spend more money on us at a slightly less insanely inflated cost that is still extremely profitable for us.”
Apple is one of the shit pioneers, blazing a trail in new and unexplored avenues of shit, giving a horrific prophecy of the shit every other company will standardize in the following years.
It’s like getting an announcement of a new pandemic every year.
By the time we’re at that level, we can just stop pretending money is real.
It certainly won’t mean anything to an actual AI.
Roko’s Basilisk is stupid.
It presumes three things.
That human beings are logical and that they do anything with intention. For the vast majority of people, this is patently false.
That a super intelligence sees revenge as an efficient use of scarce resources, which given both that revenge is nonsensical without the prerequisite biological need for it, and the conclusion of ‘1’, is nonsensical.
That even if 1 and 2 were real, that there’s some inherent timeframe in which the AI thinks it should have been created.
The only real bodily danger of AI is inherent in the the humans who control it.
“No algorithm. Every post. Unfiltered. In chronological order.”
The IDEA is great. The man who sold it to them is a known con-artist and liar and they had no shortage of warning before they got in bed with him.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
If your story starts with “I believed in Musk’s vision” or “I voted for Trump” or some other asinine bullshit that everyone with a brain stem was telling you was stupid 10 years ago, you can take your sympathy fishing with you all the way to bankruptcy court.
I hope your kids watch and internalize what a loser their parent is.
It’s okay. Now that AI can do all the jobs the population crisis is over.
Now everybody get dying!
I don’t see any difference, personally.
Tale as old as time with tech… still waiting on that chat interoperability!
What a day to know how to read.
That’s what I said.
Different medical culture, I guess. People here go over much more easily.
Good thing too. A friend of mine jammed her finger playing volleyball once and I thought she was nuts to go to the hospital, but it turned out she needed a surgical adjustment and if she hadn’t gone it would’ve wound up healing in a way that would’ve permanently affected her dexterity.

Depending on your age, it’s ABSOLUTELY life changing. If you’re 20, drop it into an index fund, and most likely you’ll never have to save another dime for retirement for the rest of your life.
The trauma follows you.
I left the US years ago and people still look at me like I’m insane when I catch a cold and I don’t go to the doctor.
I drove 40 minutes to the hospital once after an injury, and people thought I was insane for not calling an ambulance.
If existence is infinite there is no difference whatsoever between heaven and hell. The idea of “happiness forever” is a 4 year old child’s conception of something desirable, and shows absolutely no awareness of what it means to exist.
And before someone starts in with the “You’ll be altered so that heaven will be perfect forever”, you’ve destroyed any meaning of it - if you’re going to be made to enjoy it, you could just as easily be made to enjoy hell. The whole concept is stupid.
Heaven is the desperate hope of the tired who don’t need eternal bliss - they need a break and a chance to actually live.
Let’s say the AI doomers are right.
This is still like, 7th or 8th in line of “currently dangerous existential threats to human civilization.”
There is ZERO sense in feeling threatened by autonomous rogue killbots when we’re going to have unaccountable, non-rogue ones supplementing the unaccountable, sentient HUMAN killbots we already have in just a few years, and even if THOSE don’t get you, the 50 degree temperatures will, since you can’t run your AC because the AI data centers have made your electric bill $500, and you can’t go to the pool because the clouds of ash from the uncontrolled wildfires have made the air unbreathable.
