Plot twist, he becomes the most ruthless chicken at raising and slaughtering chickens to squeeze out more profits.

And all the people giving them money. Don’t forget! Every dollar is a vote. I always wished carrot mob became more of a movement aka people grouping together to wield their money for better outcomes like shopping at more green or ethical businesses.

You shifted to a private news network? There’s supposedly some really good ones with extremely niche music available.

And if you prefer the terminal there’s youtube-tui

Yeah, the Turing test has essentially been solved and at least in a digital format aka text, audio, video call it is now quite difficult to fully determine if what you are getting is from a human or a machine. I think it won’t be long now until there’s a push for a biometric verification for the web and the internet is essentially split into agents only, agents and humans, and humans only.

They say he’s very handy ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

I’m sure there are some in there somewhere and major terrestrial nodes but it’s mostly space lasers bouncing signals between satellites and then radio waves to communicate with srarlink receivers.

Never ran into them before but you weren’t kidding.

Do it! Fads always come back.

Yes

Karibu kaka, welcome brother.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

I more so see such entities (cognitive or otherwise) like the demiurge aka assuming it/they are at the peak yet themselves just at another strata of reality, not yet reaching enlightenment and still trapped in samsara.

A sidebar from the post. I’m curious if you have ever gone over any epistemology. Particularly thought explorations like Boltzmann brains, Descartes demon, last Thursdayism, Plato’s cave, or Chung Tzu’s butterfly.

In the study of knowledge it becomes clear that what most call knowledge isn’t as absolute or concrete as at least I personally would prefer it to be and that which is seemingly solid is quite limited. For instance I assume all previous moments before now actually happened and reality didn’t just start as is like a video game booting into some programmed state. I don’t mind axioms such as that but it’s worth being aware it is an axiom/assumption/faith and not something I absolutely know to be the case.

In some occultic and gnostic philosophy there is a being known as the demiurge which believes it is the ultimate creator of reality but in actuality is a lesser being who only brought the physical reality into existence and is seen as ignorant, arrogant, or malevolent.

In some forms of Buddhism and Hinduism there is samsara or a cycle of rebirth which in some versions includes beings we would typically call Gods including the Christian/Jewish/Muslim God much like the demiurge falsely believing it is the ultimate being.

In short they are seen by other religious structures as lesser beings who create / influence the material world while there are yet higher states of being for more benevolent beings. The material world itself is often portrayed as one of the lowest realms through which practices of letting go of one’s desire or ego can free ones self and allow passage into higher states of being.

Cool, also the Atlantic thermohaline belt has been weakening and is projected to fully collapse in as little as four years in the known worst case. Generally though there’s not enough data or funding. Link.

At minimum this would be really bad and worse case this could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and tosses us fully into a biosphere collapse aka the apocalypse.

Good thing we’re slowing efforts to deal with climate change, and defending science into how absolutely fucked we are.

Hollywood is a business like any other and they are concerned with making money. It’s rare that someone’s given name is marketable. People get their names different ways but it’s often their agent or some producer who picks them up who names them.

Kinda reminds me of a brief disagreement. The article does say that this may be “vastly overestimating the amount of dual-use research”, because “we don’t know what the national security concerns are that caused an application to be flagged. That is the definition may be too vague.

The article addresses that actually. Says it was around 1/6 in 2013.
