  • The vast majority of that had nothing to do with anything I’d said. The one thing that does being the decency and ethics of the giant corporations, which of course I don’t think they have those things. Companies don’t do ethical shit because they’re good. If doing immoral things makes them a lot more money and doesn’t come with much risk of discovery, I imagine most would jump on it.

    Public outcry is the issue, normally. When we find out BP is poisoning sea life, or some singer is urinating on children, or some other awful thing is being done traditionally a lot of people would get together and make a big issue of it, that costs the evildoer much money until they stop and/or leads to prison time.

    That doesn’t seem to be working properly at the moment, however, so I imagine if a paper came out showing something far to close to global workspace theory in AI for anyone to be rationally comfortable about instead people would just keep chanting that it’s not real, because they’d prefer it not be.








  • That’s because there’s no simple way to scan billions of images to determine their provenance.

    Even glancing at your screenshot what’s to say a lot of those aren’t older artistic digital images?

    This can be a fun learning example for you and the kid both. Download some massive packs of images online. Millions. Lump all of them into one single folder. Now sort them for common features, which were made with cameras, which were made digitally by a person, which are AI, etc.
