  • You dont think polluting the world is going to have a net negative effect for humanity?

    What exactly is there to gain with AI anyways? What’s the great benefit to us as a species? So far its just been used to trivialize multiple artistic disciplines, basic service industries, and programming.

    Things have a cost, many people are doing the cost-benefit analysis and seeing there is none for them. Seems most of the incentive to develop this software is if you would like to stop paying people who do the jobs listed above.

    What do we get out of burning the planet to the ground? And even if you find an AI thats barely burning it, what’s the point in the first place?








  • If someone shows respect and thanks to one person who is helpful, then why shouldn’t they for all who are helpful?

    It would be awfully egotistical for me to be upset that I wasn’t the only one who was thanked. Like thanking other people makes it meaningless.

    IMO it just shows the persons character in relation to whatever the subject at hand is. Plenty of things to be critical of but being nice to too many people isn’t one of them.








  • undefined> Cloud Storage

    Don’t use it unless you encrypt it end-to-end. (As in, only upload files that are already encrypted, don’t trust the provider’s server-side encryption, which is functionally useless.) (A “simple” way to do this is mount the cloud storage as a network drive and layer FUSE encryption on top of it, I think it’s either EncFS or eCryptFS?)

    Very interesting, I was considering writing off the idea of using cloud services altogether but that makes a lot of sense. Don’t trust their encryption.
