Businessman warns attempt at creating profit engine out of mass piracy may fail if people don’t cooperate

George Orwell.

In the very beginning there’s a scene where people are watching a war film that seemed eerily reminiscent of the attacks on boats in Venezuela.

✅ War is peace

☑️ Freedom is slavery

✅ Ignorance is strength

I built a Steam PC not too long ago. I’ll give this a shot.

Yeap. This is a provocative, reactive take that doesn’t consider much.

I didn’t have any problems with what Obama did at that time. I just thought it was premature to give him the award. It made it seem meaningless.

Someone will have to let me know because I’m not wasting my time there. I’m going to keep wasting my time here. It’s a fantastic waste of time

If I recall correctly, it was awarded before he actually did anything. It felt like wishful thinking, and then he proceeded to authorize strikes somewhere.

So did Obama, right before he ordered a bunch of strikes.

It nailed it. Too many people like myself deciding against having kids leads to people who probably shouldn’t have kids being the only ones doing it.

I didn’t have kids. This was a factor in my reasoning.

Can someone ELI5? I read the article. 🙃

Damn tootin.

According to Huang, considering the potential existential risks of unleashing AI on society may do more harm than good. “It’s not helpful. It’s not helpful to people. It’s not helpful to the industry. It’s not helpful to society. It’s not helpful to the governments,” he said. He particularly took issue with other people in the industry going to the government and asking for regulation and mandatory safeguards. “You have to ask yourself, you know, what is the purpose of that narrative and what are their intentions,” he asked rhetorically. “Why are they talking to governments about these things to create regulations to suffocate startups?”

You don’t have to ask yourself that because it’s common sense. He’s being disingenuous about AI’s potential to harm society, and stating the intent is to suffocate startups…they’re not making a new instant messaging client. I want to smack him upside the head.

It’s similar to Kickstarter, where a certain level will get your name in the credits.

Funding for buildings is sometimes driven by recurring donations in exchange for someone’s name on the building. These funds pay for deferred maintenance and renovations.
