Fuck AI

How is "human cloning" a) a real technology b) a bigger danger than the 8 billion fucking morons already here c) different from twins and triplets?

Uh...recombinant DNA experiments were never paused, and while human cloning is illegal in non shitholes, Sam Altman has a company to genetically modify embryos in San Francisco called Preventive.

I do not see AI going away I see it being the tool they originally pitched before firing everyone as an assistant for coding and the such and that only when running locally. I think it will do a decent job in finding and patching 0 day issues in Linux kernels and the such but Hollywood and the tech sector after making a really tough few years for all their former employees will be having a very tough time themselves, and if the US government has any balls they will have to worry about being broken up as monopolies and prosecuted for their criminal behavior, but that seems to be wishful thinking even if a more responsible party get all the levers of power.

What is dangerous AI?

A lot of these aren't paused entirely because people chose to pause them though, as much as it was hitting a limitation.

Cloning, for example. The bigger issue is that clones don't live for very long, and that the clone is basically a new human. If we had a science fiction cloning machine that could copy people, you could easily bet that research would be forging ahead.

Pause? Don't you mean undo?

Not too much to research with the blinding lasers needed. Keep in mind I am not any where near an expert but this seems like a sufficient implementation. I am 100% certain someone smarter and or more experienced than me could potentially simplify this further.

A sufficiently high resolution video camera with fast integrated auto focus on a mechanized cradle, a computer with two RTX 4090's, and of course a class IV (say 100w) laser with dual rotating mirrors should be enough to permanently blind the bulk of a crowd.

I bet there is a free model on hugging face for identifying the pupils for eye tracking and there are facing tracking models to drastically cut down the area for acquiring targets. Really the hardest part could be the camera but if you have enough money, Hollywood has stuff that would work. Other problem would be running the models fast enough to be effective.

Casing could just be a metal box that rotates and has a quartz glass window coated with hydrophobic chemicals.

Sure they did. /s

I've been hesitant to play around with AI just because of how sneaky business is done lately and I don't trust "business". I can't consciously reconcile my use of AI with the horrendous resources required to keep it up and running. I'd rather go "green" and figure out shit on my own, using old school research methodologies. My only caveat to this is if I really, really wanted a funny image. Maybe a Spongebob and Magilla Gorilla mashup. That, I'd sell out for. /s
