If the U.S. wants to run a genuine tech embargo, it cannot allow even one qualified engineer, technical document, or machine part through.

It may take a few years, but I'm confident the U.S. has already lost.

Trying to stop China’s semiconductor progress by letting them keep DUV machines and allowing β€œtechnical talks” is exactly like trying to stop Japanese clockmaking by letting in one Jesuit clock repairman.

For however advanced is YouTube's AI, it still gets things hilariously wrong sometimes. For example, it put a suicide notice on a video from a Buddhist monk talking about extreme tantric practices like self-immolation in Buddhism.

The more people you can hire, the more plausible deniability you can create. At the highest level of income, you can create essentially infinite plausible deniability. Even given this, some wealthy men are so debased, that essentially infinite is not enough for them.

The Epstein files are the definition of what Marx called false consciousness. If you care more about them, than about inequality, you are playing their game. The further back in time the events therein recede into the past, the more discussion of them drowns out actual political concerns.

A 50-year mortgage has to be the stupidest thing Donald Trump has come up with so far. To live at the same address for 30 years in this economy is barely achievable for most people. But 50? Who even knows what the world will look like in 50 years? Survey says much of Florida will be underwater

Talk to it long enough and it's not so hard to get it to respond as if its politics are in the red corner. You've just got to use the right framing device.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at how easy it is to make ChatGPT repeat communist ideology back to me. Something tells me that it will not be an ally in actually building that communism, though.

I think the main problem is that the eyes are too small. Something that makes things cute is having big eyes. I don't know why they went with small beady eyes.

But they aren't interested in doing anything to help the world like this, just in lining their own pockets. Because under modern capitalism, it's no longer enough to create a fantastically successful piece of robotic hardware. You want to control the software lifespan of that robot forever.

You can even imagine a version of this where volunteers help people that are elderly or physically disabled that have one of these and operate the robot for them. And each client of the charity has, let's say, a certain number of uses of the robot per day.

What upsets me the most about this is that if this were an open platform where you were in charge of finding someone to control Neo, be it yourself or somebody that you would either directly hire over freelancing or just someone you know irl, it could be incredibly useful as an accessibility tool.

The clauses 'a chance of' and 'in the mind of' are doing all of the work.

Yeah, I should have written, all that matters is that it has a chance of being profitable, in the mind of an insane billionaire like Elon Musk.

That corporation can be a shareholder in a startup, and that gives them just enough plausible deniability to take the profit.

I think with the concept of startups, people no longer care if something is tasteful. All that matters is that it's profitable. Because the capital does not need to be associated anymore with a large corporation.

"We have to keep developing child-killing death ray technology because if we don't, then China will and China can't be the only one to have that kind of technology."

I think that the fact that people in China are also developing AI systems is just an instant thought-stopping cliche in their mind. That means that they have to keep developing these systems no matter what harms they cause. Because, God forbid the Chinese get ahead of us technologically in anything.

At least, I have not seen anything stating this, and the vibes feel very much to the contrary. So prove me wrong if you can.

For me, I think this is really the biggest red flag. That their employees are allowed to control the robot and see all of what it can do. But you are not allowed to control the robot with the software they have, even if you buy one. That's insane to me.

This is not like a hackable system or an open system. You aren't allowed to, for example, take control of the robot body. They say that that's some kind of safety violation I'm sure. But if we take things to that extreme, how is the whole thing not a safety violation?

This robot called Neo is essentially a robotic body with cameras in the eyes that allow workers (perhaps originally in the United States, but if economies of scales take over, it will definitely be in the cheapest labour markets) to peer inside of your home and to do chores for you.

We spend a lot of time teaching kids outdoor survival skills, such as with the Boy Scouts, but none at all teaching digital survival skills. And let me tell you, if you invite this thing into your house, you have absolutely zero digital survival skills.
