  • Could we build an AI network to fight this?

    There’s a reason why some very bright people in tech with decades of experience aren’t dismissing AI whole cloth.

    The dangers are vast. The social harm is a real effect. The brain atrophy is an actual pitfall to be avoided, even at the cost of tying yourself to the metaphorical ship mast.

    But the possibilities are also real, else they wouldn’t be using them against us.

    The hatred is fine and all, but I really really wish the kind of people who frequent the Fediverse and spouted all of the encouraging anti-establishment stances…also minded their basic Sun Tzu:

    If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.



  • Pretty sure if you went back in time and started spouting the things Mac A wrote about, he’d invite you to dinner and ask you to see yours and he’ll show you his ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

    I actually don’t know jack shit about ancient Rome’s library system, if any.

    I miss that damn Pug.

    But it wasn’t uncommon a trend in antiquity for the learned and educated to maintain private memoirs and journals relating to their interests.

    They just never got to figure out Wikipedia.

    And most of them probably sucked, we’re kinda lucky with Meditations.

    I doubt that there was any sort of commonality to the rigors applied by the educated wealthy towards their “look at me, I can write and ponder about stuff because I don’t need to worry about food” projects.
