Why am I getting James Somerton flashbacks

If the AI bros get these things built before the bubble pops, we should expect bad designs, not allowing for local conditions, setting up the reactor operators for ridiculous errors, and lots of nuclear accidents. Hopefully not very big ones. Cross fingers!
If and when those accidents start happening, its going to set back adoption of nuclear power by years, if not decades - especially if there's an incompetent response to those accidents (which, considering Starmer and Trump are in charge, is worryingly likely)
One of the other important things about the nuclear regulation process is that it makes sure the local people are involved. You can’t skip that step either. If you just run roughshod over the locals for the sake of AI, you’ve already got people in the streets protesting AI.
The government will almost certainly try to just bypass the activists. But remember: anti-nuclear activists have decades of experience at this. So I’m sure it’ll go great all round.
Anti-nuclear activists are going to have a field day with this, aren't they?
"Techbro syndrome" would be a perfect name for it, honestly.
The Audio Mods are doing God's work keeping the portal slop-free. Its good to know there's at least one place where human-made work is still valued.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has caused backlash for Activision after AI slop Calling Cards were discovered in-game.
Beyond causing large-scale backlash on Reddit, Twitter and basically everywhere else, its also gotten called out by US Congressman Ro Khanna (also on Twitter).
I also learned Bitwarden bought into AI reading this. They don't appear to have let vulnerability extruders ruin their code as of this writing, but any willingness to entertain the fascism machines is enough for me to consider jumping ship.
Its also one of the authors of "Attention Is All You Need", one of the founding texts of the AI ideology.
I’m gonna say it: The entire “artificial intelligence”/“machine learning” research field is corrupt. They have institutionally accepted the bullshit fountain as a tool. It doesn’t matter if they’re only using chatbots as a “pilot program”; they’ve bought into the ideology. They’ve granted fashtech a seat at the bar and forced all the other customers to shake its hand.
Abso-fucking-lutely. Oxford's latest "research paper" isn't marketing - its propaganda. Propaganda for bullshit fountains, and for the ideology which endorses them.
What’s a government backstop, and does it happen often? It sounds like they’re asking for a preemptive bail-out.
Zitron's stated multiple times a bailout isn't coming, but I'm not ruling it out myself - AI has proven highly useful as a propaganda tool and an accountability sink, the oligarchs in office have good reason to keep it alive.
I feel slightly better about my Pepsi addiction now.
The Coca-Cola Company is desperately trying to talk up this mediocre demo as the best demo ever. That’s how AI works now — AI companies don’t give you an impressive demo that can’t be turned into a product, they give you a garbage demo and loudly insist it’s actually super cool
Considering AI supporters' are too artistically blind to tell quality work from slop, I'm gonna chalk that up to them genuinely believing its the best thing since sliced bread.
Times are tough, the real economy where people live is way down, the recession is biting, and the normal folk know the ones promoting AI want them out of a job. If you push AI, you are the enemy of ordinary people. And the ordinary people know it.
Damn right, David. Here's to hoping the ordinary people don't forget who the AI pushers were once winter sets in.
