For me, the bigger issue here is the absolute blind trust being given to the AI Overlords already. I see BIG issues happening as models are retrained yet people still have that unwavering trust. Think back to SEO (Search Engine Optimization for non nerds) and how search algos were gamed over time. If you don't think external parties will find ways to influence models, well... "Used improperly, technologies can and do result in the deterioration of cognitive faculties that ought to be preserved," the researchers wrote in the paper. "A key irony of automation is that by mechanising routine tasks and leaving exception-handling to the human user, you deprive the user of the routine opportunities to practice their judgement and strengthen their cognitive musculature, leaving them atrophied and unprepared when the exceptions do arise."

Study Finds That People Who Entrust Tasks to AI Are Losing Critical Thinking Skills

Trusting AI over the real thing seems, per a new study, to actually be atrophying folks' mental faculties.

330 years for just $24 milly seems a bit wild when our President scammed his followers for much more by calling it a "meme" coin. Maybe ole Brent needs better representation. Needless to say, this chucklefuck wasn't a Vegas Bitcoiner. "A Las Vegas business owner made his initial appearance in court yesterday for allegedly misrepresenting that his company was a profitable, up-and-running artificial intelligence company that mined cryptocurrency, verified cryptocurrency transactions, paid fixed rates of return on investments, and provided a 100% money back guarantee. In total, the defendant obtained approximately $24 million from at least 400 investors."

 

So is Gamestop going to ape into the Strategy playbook? Stock has jumped from $25 when the Saylor picture surfaced on Twatter to $27.50 this AM. They apparently have $5 billy in cash and could borrow up to $100 billy off of that. Could be huge.

#gm #nostr - Thought about going with OPP and a plethora of 2 Live Crew jams, but settled on Force MD's in honor of Valentime's Day. Also picked this song because it came out in 1985, which is also the last time the Chicago Bears won a Super Bowl during my lifetime. I was 7 and I'm old as hell now. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

This is why I always say please and thank you to all AI. I know these sumbitches are keeping track so when you guys are getting door knocked by Repentance Drones, I'll be right as rain with our AI Overlords.

AI systems could be ‘caused to suffer’ if consciousness achieved, says research

Experts and thinkers signed open letter expressing concern over irresponsible development of technology

#ai #artificialintelligence #technology

Interesting conversation from the Vegas Bitcoiners Meetup last night. We pivoted on to AI, robotics, and the topic of abundance. Essentially the belief that it should lead to what @Jeff Booth talks about in his fantastic book. The question of "Will that abundance be shared with society?" was raised. My contention is that I don't see the current keyholders of the capitalistic system interested in doing that. By design. My belief is that as long as the goal is to maximize shareholder value by all means necessary, they are insulated from having to even consider doing so. I look at it the same way I believe the Fed cannot truly succeed with their dual mandate as stable prices and maximum employment are often at odds with one another. So if the overarching goal is to push stock price to drive returns for investors, that is the top mandate which flies in the face of returning abundance because it would negate from the value proposition. Doesn't help that they've fortified this via 401ks and other retirement accounts -- they've tied it to the backs of the working class. Curious if anyone has any thoughts as to how society as a whole can benefit without needing to burn the current system to the ground? What does that mean (look like) for investments and retirement? Is there a way that everyone eats and nobody suffers? #asknostr #ai #artificialintelligence #money #investing #bitcoin

#gm #nostr - B.R.E.A.M. doesn't quite have the same ring to it. But, uh, anytime you want to quit leakin' would be straight. Bitcoiners are a sick tight click so we've got that going for us. #nowplaying #music #tunestr #musicstr #hiphop #rap

Do you want to know how successful organizations like Greenpeace have been in not only propagandizing but arguably causing the climate issues? Illinois just introduced legislation that will classify nuclear as a renewable energy source so it can qualify for the same benefits that wind and solar have access to. Really think about that for a minute. The greenest, densest energy on the planet did not qualify as renewable energy. Absolute lunacy. https://ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1538&GAID=18&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=160226&SessionID=114&GA=104 #nuclear #energy #climate #technology

I'm torn. I've long used credit cards for the points/rewards -- I've not paid for a flight very often over the last decade. I know deep down that some poor windowlicker is likely financing that for me with their poor credit hygiene. If this makes it through the banking lobby, I've got to think it's the end of rewards cards if not other perks like no fee cards and what not. Also, if they can't recoup interest from subprime customers, they'll just not issue them credit at all. If that happens and they lose folks like me that only use it for points, what business do they have left at that point? “During the campaign, President Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at ten percent,” Sanders said. “Today, I am proud to be introducing bipartisan legislation with Senator Hawley to do just that. When large financial institutions charge over 25 percent interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of making credit available. They are engaged in extortion and loan sharking. We cannot continue to allow big banks to make huge profits ripping off the American people. This legislation will provide working families struggling to pay their bills with desperately needed financial relief.”
