At least I understand the words in the explanation.

But who the duck dislike being called a good boy?

Sir, how dare you say something so accurate.

[–] SaltSong@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

Of course I did.

Right, but that's not to protect them from AI. It's to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don't have to listen to the little people.

We don't even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don't have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

Ah, the Wicked Bible, first brought to my attention while reading Good Omens.

Can't argue with the word of god.

I had been at work for two hours, but yes.

I missed the "X" in that title, and read "EFF is leaving the Electronic Freedom Foundation," and was very confused.

Did you check to see which sub-lemmy you're in?

If I had the skills. . .

Working my way through the Lost Fleet series. It's mediocre, but in an entertaining way.
