I mean, that’s what it would have to be, right? OP probably thinks it’s impossible because GAI is impossible. I think it’s likely impossible because there’s no moral system that’s both totally specific and which we could all agree on, even roughly.

Either way, a good guy detector is far off at the very least, and we’re going to have to struggle for the cause of good, whatever that may be, the old fashioned political way.

but I feel there will never be a technology that can do that.

That’s my best guess too, but someone could plausibly argue otherwise. I just went with something undisputable that still illustrates the main point.

Shocking. /s

No current technology can distinguish between good guys and bad guys. There’s like a pervasive ideological discomfort with that basic fact. You see it again and again on every regulation debate.

that you need to get conspiracy theorists to sit down and do the treatment. With their general level of paranoia around a) tech, b) science, and c) manipulation, that not likely to happen.

You overestimate how hard it is to get a conspiracy theorist to click on something. I don’t know, it seems promising to me. I more worry that it can be used to sell things more nefarious than “climate change is real”.

you need a level of “AI” that isn’t going to start hallucinating and instead enforce the subjects’ conspiracy beliefs. Despite techbros’ hype of the technology, I’m not convinced we’re anywhere close.

They used a purpose-finetuned GPT-4 model for this study, and it didn’t go off script in that way once. I bet you could make it if you really tried, but if you’re doing adversarial prompting then you’re not the target for this thing anyway.

The interaction between society and technology continues to be borderline impossible to predict. I hope less true factually beliefs are still harder to defend, at least.

If it’s outside Russia, sure. It’s probably going to be something (or some things) in international space if it’s a retaliation for something in international space. Or at least, it should be, because I don’t really buy the “direct war with Russia would be fine” jerk.

Yeah, I don’t get that. Federation is the option to have a hyper-custom server that does weird things, or to make your own server with blackjack and hookers if you don’t like your current one, without losing access to community and content. Most people aren’t nerds, though, so if you want plag-and-play an instance like lemmy.world is great.

If you want a small bubble you actually don’t want federation.

Mastodon is just an impenetrable mess from a UX perspective.

How does it compare to Lemmy?

Great, so the perverse incentives aren’t beatable then. Time to bug lawmakers, I guess?

On the bright side, Lemmy feels just about like Reddit to use, so that bodes well for us.

Okay, so I’m going to tell you where the new Twitter is in the blue swirly.

I know, I know, easier said than done to actually guide them through, but if they’re at that level it’s just a different setting on the magic box.

Yeah, I feel like this should be surmountable. At worst, you skip the whole concept of federation and just tell them exactly where to sign up.

But still yes, once NATO works out which Russian stuff to take out in response.

Probably the ghost tankers, right?

I feel like the “tits” they would get for that “tat” would be pretty bad for them. NATO breaks toys better than they ever will.

I don’t really think it would start WWIII on it’s own, though.

Ooooooohhh! I never made that connection.

What’s the problem? They’re just not sure which instance to go with?

I guess, haha. A quantum circuit is going to use something else (Josephson junction or laser), though, so even there it’s just in an auxiliary component. Except not, because this thing doesn’t sound real, at least as advertised.

I’d be careful with “unforgivable”. That’s the exact shit that fuels the cycle of violence in the first place.

She’s antisemetic. /s

Oh no, wait, “she doesn’t represent the majority of Jews”, because we need sign-off from the rest of our ethnic group to grow a conscience, apparently.

Yeah, I don’t even need to read this to smell the garbage. AI + Quantum, and put together in a way that doesn’t make sense. Does it have crystals too?

Yes, but they used a buzzword. /s

This is basically a clickbait critique of clickbait.
