I've mentioned it before, but what was once unlawful to film, distribute, or view will become lawful when generated by AI. As unsavory as that sounds, there might be a corresponding drop in illicit behavior as a result. After all, the legal content is causing a decline in the frequency of consenting encounters in the real world.

This again is my main argument that any prediction about population growth rates 50 years into the future is very wrong.

The AI is already compromised so it won't happen even though it's technically legal.

The deep state blob, before the Web during NNTP days, learned what was popular. They then instantiated the Epstein/P. Diddy traps.

Or so I hear...

Currently listening to Mike Benz on Joe Rogan

George Hotz is working on the solution. I wouldn't bet against Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, or George Hotz.

George is a tech-optimist, as I imagine most people motivated to create incredible things are.

You will direct the creation, and the quality will depend on your super-prompt ability.

On a huge tangent, I recently spent the weekend with (among others) the youngest brother of the guy who used AI to create The Kamala parody video. It's the video that prompted the governor of Kalifornia to ban AI parody videos (including ones clearly labeled parody, apparently). It was that brother who gave him the idea for the AI parody video, among others.

Here's an earlier satire. Is it still too soon?

Back to posts #743 and #745, I happened to re-listen to George Hotz last night who says that the danger of AI isn't its misalignment with humanity accidentally paperclipping the world, it's tool-wielding humans who are misaligned.

He posits that the only way the world gets paperclipped is allowing a single AI safety board to consolidate authority over AI rules. The way to avoid paperclipping is to democratize AI to distribute its strengths across the population (a 2nd-A sort of argument).

https://youtu.be/dNrTrx42DGQ?t=3384

His TinyBox is engineered to perform to the normal constraints consumers have. It has to run from a standard wall outlet, and not raise suspicion from anyone monitoring power consumption. It's meant to run without assembling anything or major configuration.

SA today mentioned that AI generated entertainment would not be illegal, regardless of how disgusting the content is.

I have Episode 2689 queued. Now there is [youtu.be/dNrTrx42DGQ?t=3384]

Does the tinybox compare with Eben Moglen's Freedom Box?

I met someone recently also; who was a fan of Rob Braxman.

Does Moonshot have it's tentacle/fingers in Ecomodder?

edit:
I was listening from the kitchen when he said 'winged bigfoot' and I heard 'winged piglet'. If I need a new handle or DBA, there it is.

I see that he listened to the Mike Benz interview I mentioned at #744.

USAid dates back to the Vietnam War era. Have you seen the movie Air America?

Microplastics: If that scales and doesn't lead to the extinction of squid -- that could be the story of the decade. Microplastics much more 'real' than Anthropogenic [stupid spellchecker] Climate Shenanigans.

Statue of Liberty: He's a couple of steps behind. Elon said after he lasered it he put it back before anyone noticed, and where the lasers came from.

Melinda Gates: What's with the insanely rich ex's/widows. Her and Laurene Powell Jobs.

Scott Adams: "Your body is your brain"
Jimi Hendrix: "Are you experienced"

Trillionaire [stupid spellchecker]? He failed to include SpaceX and Starlink. But as he says, Starlink's profits will be reinvested toward going to Mars.

On another forum, the dullards proclaim that wealthy people spend their days Scrooge-McDucking in a money bin, and that real investment involves appropriating wealth and distributing it based on arbitrary intersectional criteria. They specifically point to Elon, asking what he's ever done to invest in the economy. Their argument stops somewhere around "he didn't start Tesla" or "he didn't invent the lithium ion battery".
