John Stewart has always been a bothsidser though, it's not like a trick or anything. His style made a lot of sense when things were ""normal"" (like back in 2008) but it doesn't really jive with me in the current landscape.

Of course, you could argue that that's exactly what the technofeudalists want...

    That first photo is just pure cinema, lol. "Moments before disaster" type stuff.
    Anyway I wanted to say thanks for posting these;
    In addition to the occasional gem of photography, this ongoing saga is just one of those things that make lemmy feel like it's actually inhabited by real people. I have no idea how you have time for all these games though. XD

    This reminds me of something I've been thinking for a while: "why is 'alignment' such a big deal with AI?"
    You would never ask whether a hammer or a wrench is 'aligned' with humanity, because inanimate objects don't have goals in the first place, so there's nothing to align- only sentient creatures have goals. 🤔 ... ...
    "Is 'alignment' just slavery with extra steps?!" ...
    I think if they are actively going out of their way to paint AI as sentient, then tbh yea it kinda seems like they just have a slave fantasy. Which, like, I'm not gonna kink shame. But maybe someone should tell Anthropic to keep it in the bedroom like the rest of us. 🤷

    I actually live in portugal, and when I checked google maps it was called Lake America so it's not just in America that it says that. Anyway I replaced it with mapquest but tbh MQ isn't super useful in my city. Good thing I know the place well enough already I guess.

    Did you know you can actually turn off your watch history, and it will stop recommending videos entirely?
    I did it a while back to help stop me from refresh-addiction, and it totally works! You still get a subscription feed but it's chronological, and it will still suggest relevant videos in the sidebar when you're watching something.
