shit lately, and one of the things I argue is that most modern &#39;ai&#39; systems are not built in a way that is safe for human life.<br/><br/>The specific comparison I am making is to the factories of the early industrial revolution, which had lots of exposed moving parts that had a tendency to turn people into mulch.<br/><br/>We invented things like &#34;OSHA&#34; and the discipline of industrial safety in order to reduce the number of mulched orphans.<br/><br/>We did this by redesigning machines such that safe operation was possible - things like shielding moving parts from areas where people are, for instance, or ensuring that the location from which you operate the machine is in a location where you cannot physically be in a mulchable position. <br/><br/>My contention is that &#39;ai&#39; - and people-interacting robots like the waymos - need to be revised in like fashion. 2025-12-22T06:59:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs098aqctu772lg54lmqsnns8lfw2kpdem264e0k4l8dlsdeayrp9szyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ej8ece8u In conversations with my partner, I&#39;ve been referring to &#34;industrial machines that have the capacity to cause significant harm to human life and health&#34;

Again. Which is never a good sign. <br/><br/>A lot of the memes about the progress of technology were popularized during the 90s and early &#39;00s, when Moore&#39;s Law was showing some fairly rapid returns, and the performance of computers -<br/><br/>critically, the performance -as experienced by the end user- <br/><br/>- was changing rapidly. Weird Al&#39;s &#34;It&#39;s all about the pentiums, baby&#34; was a fairly specific invocation of this time period, especially as regards the frenetic pace of upgrades that people felt like they needed in order to keep up with the curve. <br/><br/>But that&#39;s not really the case anymore. Even if the transistor density is increasing,. the overall experience by the end user does not feel like significant progress; iterative improvements don&#39;t have the same pizazz, especially when the overwhelming tenor of user experience is that shit keeps getting slower and crappier as time goes on. 2025-11-08T23:01:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdjhjwp0z289upv8u80jv909ngwpqderpss6ye5ndsyddz5lrqg0szyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ejtzxn96 there is going to be -so- much unmaintained random shit on the internet after this next market crash. <br/><br/>zombie botnets are gonna get wiiiild 2025-11-07T00:55:22Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvg84rq8vz06prhcj7u4qstsnz4rw5y9czk6neynxtdl6y8jx02fszyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ej0pgh4h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyycuh94vrusnh74ltjd0gc3zdktllffccfhhlzwdqu5dc9frr79svc0585'>nevent1q…0585</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>what a shame there&#39;s a government shutdown and no ability for that grift to pay out anytime soon. 2025-11-06T03:46:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvswg7l4pt9ujw2r3ur9w5gqa8h0ll3l3wjh4nrqwcrf6m37fsgrgzyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ej89smlg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspq0jjhu8gulx2ndn9sqluttcerjtmer20rs4q3q2gx2lkrsdcdfsfqka09'>nevent1q…ka09</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>(...who am I kidding; it&#39;s way the fuck more of a challenge than the attack side, lol.

(instead of some people -doing- leadership activities) - which is where your thing comes in, in my model; trans people queer the hierarchy because we ourselves are changing what we &#34;are&#34; - a concept that undermines their whole worldview.<br/><br/>* there&#39;s also a fundamental need for them to express everything in terms of good/bad that&#39;s related, but that&#39;s a whole other kettle of possums to decant 2025-07-23T18:03:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsqjm4qd756cpefhzl9ns5qmy50lps3nk2vts6rqmmwan46fff48dszyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ejhstgx7 Man announces problem that he created, disclaims responsibility for thing he absolutely has been working tirelessly to cause.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/22/tech/openai-sam-altman-fraud-crisis">https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/22/tech/openai-sam-altman-fraud-crisis</a> 2025-07-23T03:08:51Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsf772kfzgelsvq0eep43t470gahlzan3xc4fgygz9lrx2ytdwnepszyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ej2c4cw9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqr8n6x9czrcevv8lwr43300yl67ytcm4h5ahdduwyy6prt9wy7tq960slf'>nevent1q…0slf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/114/892/629/427/113/134/original/c8ac8526ca7bc8c0.mp4"></video><br/> 2025-07-21T18:27:37Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszredn98k0elngpusk8c4z5qsscahx0wva9act0xjmd5q40wa442szyqxaa0yxc6j8jk6mjpuuvq6027gzvfm97ux896ttc08hyg2g4g6ejxswth7 So, reading through today&#39;s &#34;ai&#34;

They don&#39;t give a shit about stuff more granular than a calendar quarter, because that&#39;s when the earnings reports come out - they only have to really care about their income, and things that might affect their income, four times a year.<br/><br/>So while you and I care about the price of eggs on a fairly granular basis? it doesn&#39;t really matter to those folks; it&#39;s only when the quarterly numbers come out that they have a reason to sit up and pay attention to how the world&#39;s going outside of their individual lives.<br/><br/>And I think this is part of the reason why it doesn&#39;t look like the upper class &#39;cares&#39; about the shit we&#39;re collectively dealing with - nothing since January has actually hit them meaningfully yet as anything other than trivia; the fiscal first quarter doesn&#39;t end until Monday, and the reports about that aren&#39;t going to show up until sometime next month or early May, depending. <br/><br/>Granted, the rich people feelings graph is tanking - but the day-to-day of the stock market doesn&#39;t matter to anyone in the ruling class; it&#39;s not real until the quarterly reports hit and their money managers call them up saying &#34;hey dude we&#39;ve got a problem.&#34;<br/><br/>It&#39;s an interesting dynamic, and I&#39;m sure someone with far more degree credentialing than I has prolly written a very expensive book or five about it. 2025-03-28T19:50:22Z
