Riiight, and how much of that is due to things being in actual “real-world” use, and how much of that is due to speculation?

To give you an actual answer, it means “artificial general intelligence”

We stopped selling alcohol and cigarettes unless you dox yourself to shady gas stations and stores.

Both of which famously keep databases of everyone’s IDs, and require transmitting your ID over who-knows-what network to who-knows-where.

Oh, wait, no they don’t.

Again, if done correctly, it can be done privately and securely. I am not advocating that we give our ID to every sketchy internet site. I am advocating for a widespread secure and standardized solution.

Right, and such a solution will ultimately just require everyone to trust the fact that it’s been “done privately and securely”

There’s no guarantee that an evolutionary search process will lead to a globally optimal solution. It’s the same thing with evolutionary algorithms in computing

And media analysis is like the least creepy shit Apple does. They also analyse your social networks (based on who you interact with using Apple services), and the database where they store that shit has labels for eg. political affiliations etc. (can’t remember off-hand which of the many many Apple spyware dbs it was. One of the sqlite databases under ~/Library in any case. Might have been the appropriately named IntelligencePlatform databases, but I’m too lazy to check right now)

I’ve been a C-suite executive, and I’ve worked with executives (incl. CEOs) at public companies.

Not only is there often a thermocline of truth that stops “bad” information going up the chain, CEOs more often than not make decisions based on nothing but their own opinions, and they will more than happily discard any information that doesn’t already fit that opinion, and even if negative things do manage to reach them from the other side of the thermocline, they often discount it or explain it away

Your description is basically of a “spherical CEO in a vacuum”, ie. the ideal and abstract version of how corporations should operate. It has very little to do with reality

The joke (?) was the title combined with the picture

If employers want to treat people like fucking investments

They might say they want to do that, but it’s been pretty clear for a long time that what they (at least the conservatively-minded ones) want is to treat people like property.

Reminds me of this meme

Instructions clear, but grok is still shouting about Hitler.

@javiwhite@feddit.uk had it right, and also it’s specifically a derogatory term; the Oxford English Dictionary gives the definition “US English derogatory a contemptuous term for a white person, especially an impoverished white person living in the southern US. Also called poor white”

Exactly.

People seem to think “if I don’t do X, that means nobody does X”

Are we pretending that lots and lots of people aren’t incredibly horny for AI right now?

When will people understand that in a completely unhyperbolically literal sense conservatives want you to die

AI Agents are starting to write more code. How do we make sure we understand what they’re writing?
