I found it on Know Your Meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pondering-my-orb

That was my first thought too. What’s this orb pondering business everyone’s on about?

If you liked Norsemen, try Lilyhammer.

That’s not true. The Hoover Dam contributes to Vegas’s power supply, but it’s nowhere near “almost entirely powered” by the dam, except in Fallout: New Vegas.

Sure, both sides are not the same. But the “good” side is still part of the system that allows the “bad” side to exist.

So by all means, vote for the party that will do less damage in the short term. But oppose FPTP voting at the same time.

I would argue that the doctrine of Hell introduced in the New Testament is crazier than anything in the Old Testament.

Not to mention that even if one inventor decides not to release their creation, eventually someone else will make something similar.

It’s also kind of a clever subtle call to action. “If you don’t like this ending, you can change it by changing things in the real world.”

I liked that it at least gave a few nods to the idea that living in a patriarchy isn’t necessarily great for all men either. Not all men have power, and even the ones that do aren’t necessarily happier for it and find themselves competing with other men and restricting their own self-expression. That’s a nuance that’s lost in a lot of pop feminist messaging.

Agreed, and along the same lines, pointing out bad logic or factual errors used to support a point you actually agree with.

I apologize for misunderstanding you.

I guess it would help if we clarified what ethical issues specifically are we talking about? If you tell me what scenario you are concerned with trying to prevent, I will gladly share my thoughts on it.

You say that as if the ethical concerns of AI kept tightly under control by a single organization aren’t infinitely greater. That is no solution at all to any ethical concerns arising from AI.

Competition and open source is how we navigate it. Ensuring that the power is shared, not monopolized by the few.

The conversation was about ChatGPT and not about AGI.

ChatGPT is not AGI.

Really? I actually found it’s gotten less restrictive recently. Maybe it’s just because now I’ve learned to control the context so it doesn’t perceive a request as offensive.

Well, I’ll be the second. Like all tools, generative AI is going to be used for good and evil purposes. Frankly, I’m not comfortable with a large corporation deciding what is and isn’t ethical for all of humanity. Ideally, it would do what the user asked it for, like all other tools, and society would work to control the bad actors, not OpenAI. Any AI doomsday scenario you can picture gets worst when one party has complete control over the AI technology.

I think it’s important that we support unrestricted open source AI, just as it’s important we support federated social media like lemmy.

Well, we have a source of input that AIs don’t for the moment, and that’s our actual experiences in the world. Once we turn that into art or text or whatever, the AIs can train on it, but we’re like the photosynthesizing plants at the bottom of the content food chain.

Does it work now? I think I forgot to add the instance.

Well, as long as a distinction is made. I appreciate the information. I still feel that “decentralized” should be replaced with “polycentric,” but I’ll accept that “decentralized” is the standard term for a system with multiple centers.

Sorry about that. I tried to follow the instructions given in the sticky.
