Damn tootin.

According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”

You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.

ICQ

“ICE is going after only the worst of the worst.” Along the lines of “every accusation is an admission,” they’re not sending their best… They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Sounds like he told himself if he’s ever in that situation again he’s going to blow the driver away. Then proceeded to seek out said situation.

This thread’s title is not sensational. Dudes a childish maniac with influence over the use of nuclear weapons.

Lucky.

I’ve been subject to enterprise Microsoft products for so long.

We’re…never going to say any of that. It’s Microsoft 365, or 365 for short. Even that sounds stupid. Office is what people understand, 365 always requires explaining.

MS is so exhausting.

Look on the bright side. Chilling events like this are not boring. I am definitely not bored right now.

“Oh heeeeeeeelllll no”

Trump claimed if Harris were elected we’d see World War 3. Every accusation is an admission.

Law enforcement varies on the consequences the result from its practice. An ordinary person with no political power beside voting and protesting compared to a head of state with the backing of an advanced military naturally results in a different application. It’s not fair, but it’s life.

People in my neck of the woods talk about fire arms the way I talk about video games or TV shows. They sound like recreation rather than self defense. I don’t know if knowledge is the only factor; a sense of seriousness about firearms seems to be lacking.

I can’t recall why, but I was tired of 3DFX. I think they had a monopoly on 3D acceleration or something, and at the time OpenGL seemed like the way to go. An unknown company called Nvidia released a card called the Riva TNT and it contributed to OpenGL becoming widely supported as well as ending 3DFX’s once deserved dominance.

Nvidia kept hitting it out of the park, creating iterations of cards that made it worthwhile to upgrade every several years. I think the competition from ATI (now AMD) may have kept them from falling into the same rut as 3DFX, and as gamers we’ve enjoyed the result of that relationship with good cards from both.

Today…Nvidia has grown into something that had shed its reason for being. It’s crazy to see their logo in business news top stories. What they’re doing, contributing to a tech development that is so far out front of government oversight that could protect people from the consequences, I see them more as a threat to society than anything else. It’s crazy.
