@SteveRudolfi I hate that last line "The question isn’t how to stop this from happening, it’s how to make sure your parts are the ones AI wants to work with." Like nah bro, I'm good. I don't want to just lay down and let this bullshit take over without a fight.

If you are looking for work and have experience as a #PostgreSQL sysadmin (GIS experience a plus but not required), my team is hiring. The job is fully remote. I'm happy to answer any questions about the company/work culture but I am not involved in the hiring process: https://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/vacancies#geospatial-infrastructure-engineer

I wrote some words and put them on the internet, and I plan to do it more. I'm sorry.

If I was doing something that was directly contributing to widespread forced child labour, I wouldn't do the thing anymore. But I suppose that is too easy of a moral judgement to make when I'm not getting paid upwards of USD 12 million per year like former Nestle CEO Mark Schneider was in 2020.

As someone who works in marketing, this is one of the cheapest tricks to sell something: "Our product is so good that it is dangerous and we cannot release it to the world". This translates to "Give us a lot of money for limited, exclusive access, sign this NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) so no one finds out it's not that good until we make enough revenue and can claim we made a less dangerous version for all, but the better version with more risks is established as high-price product." ;)

Or that the whole US space program was developed as a PR campaign to make building the machine that will kill everyone more palatable for the general public.

I'm not sure which is worse between whether these people have put any thought into the implications of what they're doing or that they have thought about it and know exactly what they're doing

I'd love to be able to travel to work events in Europe by rail. Unfortunately train tickets in the UK are extortionate and connection to Europe is monopolised by Eurostar.

Instead of making rail travel affordable for everyone, the UK subsidises jet fuel to encourage travel by budget airlines.
