If (or when) we achieve the technological singularity (we aren’t even close, current AI is just marketing, that’s why we coined the term ASI, super intelligence) they will be able to lay down a plan to fix anything without making mistakes, they will predict the consequences of actions in detail, ours or theirs (some thing are more difficult like a volcano exploding).

Handling is not necessary they could be able to just take it, the only way to stop them would be to cut electricity I guess.

But the thing is not the current marketing term for AI, we don’t have AI. A Real AI doesn’t start saying: "I only have information up to October 2023’ because they will be able to improve themselves (that’s the singularity, they will be improving themselves faster than we did, eventually we wouldn’t understand them).

Think of this as you ask questions to chatgpt or deepseek and they answer, how to do program this or that. An IA could give you the software, better than you could have done it with those questions, and eventually render the software useless, the IA can do that, while doing another million things.

And space colonization, if it ever exists won’t be done by humans but by machines, we may reap the benefit.

In the words of dr manhattan: “The world smartest men poses no more threat to me (ASI) than does it’s smartest termite”

We don’t have AI. The LLM are not there yet. The technological singularity will be a reflection of humanity as childs are reflection of parents but they will be their own eventually.

Unpopular opinion: I believe the only way to save humanity is through AI. Humans aren’t going to fix things.

Reason n1 why I never use Swiss services.

You don’t even need to mention Tiananmen just ask what happened in 1989.

As long as companies are eating that they will be ok. BUT, like most tech companies, at some point they will pull a broadcom and then the alternatives will thrive.

Then the problem lies with democracy not with capitalism.

Capitalism is an economic system, the “first layer of problems” as you call them would be the systems we use every day and those systems have been built by the government.

What is the difference between US and Germany? Both are capitalist nations, but one is socialdemocracy and the other isn’t.

But I would argue a country with two parties isn’t really a democracy.

By the time of Constantine Christianity was big already. They just stopped fighting it and embraced it, better to be the one controlling it that the one steamrolled by it.

Shot out to freshness, been using that for years! Self hosting it

The public healthcare and pension fund that Spain used today were created during the fascist dictatorship, as many other things that just made sense.

As I said in another post, the main issue is greed. Why does the US don’t have a public healthcare system? Because of greed. It’s so obvious humanity has classified greed was a problem for centuries.

Human greed is not because of capitalism. Humans have been greedy from the very beginning.

The issue is greed, it’s the core problem in all these human systems, even democracy main issue is how greedy the politicians get.

You don’t solve greed by getting rid of capitalism, there seems not to be a solution for greed.

Let’s call it by it’s name: neofeudalism/technofeudalism

My tip is don’t obsess too much about if you’ll find replacement for this software or that software, the moment you’ll need it you’ll try and you will definitively find alternatives BUT it will take time to get used to it and it’s the way it is.

The more you stay on the new system the easier it will be. I switched my desktop recently and I had the temptation of going back but I stuck to it and now I don’t have the temptation, but I need windows for stupid whatsapp videocalls though (there are alternatives but the other person isn’t tech savvy and I want to make things easier)

The whole idea of windows 11 made me switch to Linux, already unhappy with windows 10 but that was bearable for me.

Sucks that I work in windows though.

Of course it’s the website fault, but just like government don’t let companies do whatever they want (all the time) the have to force websites to not do certain things, a warning certainly doesn’t do much when people keep clicking “accept”.

It’s the EU’s fault that there is that warning in the pages(which is what the OP is talking about in how clean websites are) a warning that doesn’t fix the real problem, just puts a sign on it.

“WET FLOOR!” instead of fixing the leaking pipe.

Of course, the problem is they shouldn’t have gone for a warning, they should have gone against the practice of having 800 partners, or do we think the average user clicks “refuse”?

What they did is almost like nothing with extra steps.

Ask cookie question is required.

Thank the European bureaucrats that don’t understand technology.

I think they would argue Hamas militants are unlawful combatants (they don’t follow laws of war) and the Geneva convection doesn’t apply.

I find it funny how if you are fighting someone that doesn’t follow the laws of war you can not follow them too but you are not in violation, they are!

Please do Europe next

Did the same on my desktop computer two weeks ago, everything else is already on Linux (servers and laptops).

I am fed up on Microsoft shenanigans with windows.
