The past week of news out of OpenAI illustrates how a company that once prized moving with caution is now dead set on winning at all costs, whatever Scarlett Johansson or anyone else thinks about it https://www.platformer.news/open-ai-scarlett-johansson-her-voice-sam-altman/

They were founded in 2015, and Altman became in CEO in 2019. I'd say they've broken the "evil for more than 50% of the time".

Also, I'm curious, and am going to go see if your Ilya is a TESCREAL guy, because that's another way to fail the Voigt-Kampff test.

Hmmm, hard to be sure, but the stuff I could find from a brief search is that basically Effective Altruism is the best you can hope for in these circles. So, perhaps moral simpleton, but not evil?

The way you say "you guys" makes me think you're not following @winampskins

This is true. Also true is how hard it is to watch someone you love die with and of #dementia

Whether it’s Biden wanting the debate mic to automatically cut off after speaking time has run or Trump cooking the books to cover up hush money to a porn star to conceal his adulterous affair, each candidate’s desire to silence others has led to an extraordinary break with historical norms.

Virginia GOP banning fiction novels about slavery because they’re allegedly traumatic to white kids but renaming their schools to Confederate terrorists despite their documented trauma on Black kids, aren't protecting children or education, they're protecting white supremacy.

@QasimRashid

White kids can identify with a black slave protagonist.

The interesting thing is that almost nobody, on any side, thinks of this as a possibility.

Reminder: Control-Z (^Z) is UNDO! In their continuing push to force AI down users' throats, has removed the standard "Undo" option from the top of many right-click text input context menus as displayed by the Chrome browser, replacing it with a useless "Help me write" function (protip: Do your writing yourself!).

Whether or not you still currently see Undo in various situations likely depends on your browser version, but clearly the replacing of Undo with "Help me write" is well under way.

Google's removal of the widely used and pretty much universally forever undo function is already causing problems for users who have been using it for many years and are unfamiliar with the associated shortcut. This really is a slap in the face to nontechie users in particular who tend to rely on context menus and not shortcuts.

So yeah, you can use keyboard Control-Z to UNDO, but if you don't already know that, you're screwed, because Google removed Undo from the menus without any warning or explanation. How Google has fallen.

Olds are just nodding, remembering when Google took '+' from search, where it used to mean "must have this word", and wanted to use it for 'search on Google+'.

I haven't heard a thing about Google+ in years, and search is only more broken.

    Yesterday I said the question for R's was

    > How much more of your LIFE
    do you want to WASTE
    on this LOSER?

    Looks like the answer is "not much more".

    I'm not good with Photoshop, but what I'd like to see is a poster-type image, with an image of TFG, and the text:

    How much more of your LIFE
    do you want to WASTE

    'A step back in time': America's Catholic Church sees immense shift twd the old ways

    “Generations of Catholics who embraced modernizing tide sparked in 1960s by Vatican II are increasingly giving way to religious conservatives who believe church has been twisted by change…

    ..molded by plummeting church attendance…reshaped parishes across the country, leaving them at odds w Pope Francis and much of the Catholic world.”

    '... to Latin Mass adherents who have brought back ancient prayers that mention “the perfidious Jew.”'

    Well that's nice.
