cooking the proteins in your blood stream will put you to an end very quickly. (but not quick enough that you dont experience the horror and pain of it)

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I'm convinced this is going to be the summary of the 2020 decade...

To be fair, they did stop to think if they should. The decided that they shouldn't and went ahead and did it anyways.

If we're in a simulation, maybe it's a simulation about the dangers of AI.

If we're in a simulation, we are AI. But someone could be studying what happens when AI makes its own AI.

They will 'soon' (few 1000 years max) shut us down probably.

This one of the places to manufacture the consent for that to take place, because we are commenting within an organization that has given the money to ensure it that what could be is done. Most people clapped and made money, who cares what happens next, making money is the only good that matters.

sounds like my day to day job experience.

Last man standing monopoly.

if cutting prices is the definition of the race then its a race to the bottom.

These moves will only accelerate it.

lots of different ways, the loss of a child the potential loss of two children, the powerlessness and despair the parents would have been feeling... turning to AI which might have a positive outcome but many of us are not very trusting of the tool.

Its a sad story. I wish them well, I hope this is one of those scenarios that AI works exactly as desired.

My technical take from this story was that human-run labs turned out to be less reliable than current AI.

This is the sort of performance/quality gap that is not obviously seen (who in the general population understands lab protocols in detail?) and could be massively improved with AI.

understated throwaway line. its often the small stuff that we gnaw on for too long.

But sometimes do question it before you end up to sweating the small stuff

the AI job crisis will be because the AI bubble will pop and th economic fallout is going to be tremendous. dotcom and GFC might not be as bad as what the AI bubble popping might be.

is a sometimes useful agent, and a sometimes useful slightly smarter search engine.

it can be useful for some automation... but its also dangerously dumb for that.

yeah I think you have PTSD from your friends accident.

Not all bike owners and riders have a shady history or risk taking behavior (aside from riding a motrobike).
