You cannot, by definition, be eugenicist to an LLM.
Thats not what eugenics was, is or means.
But also, it should worry everyone when tech people like Hailey dehumanize the actual survivors and ongoing victims of eugenics by making comparisons like this--its alarming.

A someone who has written extensively about the eugenic roots that permeates those who claim to be building so-called artificial general intelligence, I'm here to tell you to please NOT compare criticism against corporations claiming to build a machine god, with eugenics. The audacity.

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure โ€œthe president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fundโ€ is not in fact what the founders intended

This is a fair question (the answer is no) but I am begging people to just quickly check out U.S. Const. art. I, ยง 9, cl. 7 because it's really not about counting dollars.

Marc Andreessen says more founders need to read 'the Elon playbook' Elon Musk ripped up the traditional playbook for managing companies. A16z cofounder Marc Andreessen said other CEOs should follow suit.

many many ordinary people are just living on the lies the government told them and never dug deeper because in the past the CDC/NIH have actually been truthful reliable sources on the vast majority of topics. so it's really easy to see _how_ most folks are like this.

but yeah boy howdy does it suck

Understanding what someone is *actually* doing with AI and user data is critical.

At this point, โ€œno interaction with AI tools anywhereโ€ isnโ€™t going to happen on any significant scale. The internet as a whole blew past that gate at least a year ago.

And again and always, ML != AI.

Right, so it's still the same deal as before. Hive will train custom models on provided data if asked, but that's not a part of the content moderation service.

Distrust in any AI company remains justifiably high, but they seem mostly un-bad to me.

the lack of professionalism is really something. and that's a significant cause for concern all on its own but really ties into many other related issues

kinda crazy how every single โ€œjust give people enough money to afford some basic stuffโ€ experiments yield the exact same positive results that everyone benefits from every time, huh

Anyway, back to toiling

A reminder that, for all the unhinged attacks on it, the ICC is still a functional institution that is capable of holding world leaders accountable for atrocities they commit.

they've been using Hive since almost forever? What evidence is there that this is being fed into genAI as part of the recognition/tagging/labeling runs?

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if thereโ€™s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

So, uhm, what's the track record of countries where members of the governing regime start clamoring for a "cleansing" of the political opponent?

Always remember: No matter how much they escalate the rhetoric, it doesn't mean they'll be able to do it. But let's not pretend they aren't trying.

yeah i'm a pretty lucky dude that can absorb it. many if not most diabetes sufferers are not that lucky. i'm really worried for them. we already see lots of self-rationing of care. and now having to ration even the information you need to manage yourself even more? fuck
