My beef with the title is that it scans like he’s trying to downplay the risk of AI altogether. CEO of Mistral AI says the “real risk of artificial intelligence is that of massive influence” is more aligned with the message he seems to have been actually trying to convey.

Thanks for doing your best to highlight the important part in bold, but I still can’t get over how misleading the headline is.

I’ve never seen one of these where the company actually got named.

YouTube doesn’t work for you? Second link down.

I didn’t see the video.

…but you’ll happily spend multiple posts arguing about it, even though a link to it was right there in the post.

So, not aliens then.

The sightings stopped happening round about exactly the same time as everyone started carrying a video camera in their pocket.

Is it me or are people just not that bothered about aliens, compared to in the 90s?

Most old UFO sightings were in areas that are now known to be places where drone technology was being developed and tested.

This is like that Al Capone tax evasion thing

It would have been so easy for influencewatch to write that in a neutral way, but they couldn’t help themselves from editorializing their very clear opinions into it, almost to the extent that it reads like an industry shill managed to get some edits in.

So basically they’re fine with a HOA making all sorts of overreaching rules about keeping dogs as long as they don’t have any basis in a brown people religion?

LOL, the sole one single point I made in my post is that I only ever see assertions without evidence, and your response is a bit of handwaving and an ad hominem. Thanks for demonstrating my point so perfectly.

I’ve been careful the last few years to delete all my old PII everywhere online and minimize my engagement with any cloud provider.

Only just recently discovered that every photo anyone in my family has taken of me in the past few years has been auto-tagging me and sending that information to either Google or Apple, tied to my phone number (since it’s picked from their Contacts) and geolocation, and I never consented to any of it.

Literally anything other than bad faith conspiracy-theory assertions, please.

Harm reduction only reduces harm in the short term. You’re still feeding the system that got the country in that situation to begin with.

They’re accelrrationist who want conditions to get so bad that their ideas actually seem good.

I’ve seen this claim made a few times before, and it’s never accompanied by a shred of evidence.

I’m willing to bet that sometime between last year and now, an LLM got involved.

Today (Shrove Tuesday) is Pancake Day in many countries. IHOP in the Philippines closes their branches that day due to it being a holiday there. Their manager is the most incompetent marketer in the world for not even attempting to make Pancake Day a thing in the Philippines.

Does it count if it was 2020 and the person is also your age? I feel like a LOT of people have a weirdly revisionist memory of the first few months of the pandemic.
