Yeah, I figured you didn't mean that and wasn't trying to imply that you did, lol. I was just trying to specify that when I was talking about the Wright Brothers I meant the technological jumps between their first flight and the moon landing. We're probably several technological leaps away from anything that could be considered actual AI.

The Wright Brothers didn't figure out the moon landing. They figured out aerodynamics. There were plenty of other discoveries that went into the moon landing such as suborbital flight, supersonic flight, and orbital dynamics to list a few. It's less about the specific time as it is about the level of technology. The timescale is much harder to put down due to the nature of technological innovation.

As for the rest, I completely agree. One of the most dangerous things about these AI programs is the lack of responsibility or culpability.

Definitely not a question of AI sentience, I'd say we're as close to that as the Wright Brothers were to figuring out the Apollo moon landing. But, it definitely raises questions on whether or not we should be giving everybody access to machines that can fabricate erroneous statements like this at random and what responsibility the companies creating them have if their product pushes someone to commit suicide or radicalizes them into committing an act of terrorism or something. Because them shrugging and saying, "Yeah, it does that sometimes. We can't and won't do anything about it, though" isn't gonna cut it, in my opinion.

You say that like we wouldn't see similar results if lemmy.world went down.

Rather than acting holier-than-thou about people jumping from a corporate platform to a less corporate platform, we should be happy to see some movement away from corporate enshittification.

Userbases moving like this is like rent lowering gunshots against the corporate walled garden hellscape we keep hurtling towards.

Appreciate it, I remember reading many years ago that after WW2, most countries agreed to sign into law that soldiers were legally obligated to disobey unlawful orders and report the person who gave the order to their superiors, but that the US was one of the nations that didn't.

But a quick search brings up nothing but articles talking about what you posted, so I can't find any info on it. I wonder if in other countries it's enshrined outside of military law, and that's the distinction? I have no clue.

What country did you serve for? AFAIK, the US is one of a handful of countries that don't have a law stating that soldiers are obligated to refuse unlawful orders and to report those who gave those orders.

Thanks, I fucking love it.

Reminds me of a story from when I was younger of a guy who killed 3 people with a katana at a drug deal gone bad at a local motel. The courts ruled it was self-defense.

The most cyberpunk "street samurai" shit I've ever heard. Just needs to have the dude deflecting bullets to seal the deal.

It will be.

If you're watching something on TV, record it and watch it later instead of when it airs. Even starting it 15 minutes later would probably let you fast forward through many of the ads.

Don't forget to somersault 4 times in a row on your way there.

It's just Minecraft, bro. I won't teach them about logic gates again, I swear!
