Most Americans think watch too much Sci-fi, Think artificial intelligence is developing too fast.(its regressing)
Look, I’ve said this once before.. AI is as smart as the stupidest person in the room. AI is not going to steal your underwear nor is it going to hack your bank account. AI is digital fido and AI makers are trying to market AI as MR data. This is like comparing a fire to an air frier.
Worries around artificial intelligence cross party lines, with the vast majority of Americans saying the U.S. government should prioritize keeping AI under human control and protecting workers. A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that most Americans, 64%, think AI is developing “too fast,” while 27% say its development has been “about right” and only 8% say it’s moving “too slow.”
I wonder what that 1% is doing? 64+27+8=99 . So is there 1% that is the AI voting for itself or got disqualified. The problem with protecting the rights of the workers falls squarely on to the USA to protect such rights and right now the US is facinated with AI like it is precious and calling “my precious SI” or something like that. So it is unlikely that workers will be protected at first. Corporations are using AI like it is a magic wand that can do anything and later reject it when they find out it can’t paint the walls.
The risk that powerful AI models could evade human control and hurt humanity, once the stuff of science fiction, has been emerging as a more pressing concern. Even leaders of the companies that are developing frontier AI models are calling for a slowdown so that government regulation can catch up.
Everyone keeps saying this. I got this! I can sell you one of these… they call it an on/off switch.. Even Mr Data had one of those.
If corporations were so afraid of AI they would have one of these installed in every room of a data center. They would code a deadman switch that would kill a data center if they felt a threat. Corporations are posturing that AI is dangerous to make it sound better and get regulations not only to regulate it but also to protect it.
About 8 in 10 U.S. adults say it’s “extremely” or “very” important for the U.S. government to ensure that AI stays under human control, and they are about as likely to want the government to prioritize protecting the country’s workforce. Most U.S. economy are highly important.
Again.. I got this super cool thing that would keep the entire government from wasting years yelling at each other on how to limit AI. Again this is just companies posturing and trying to get funds from the US government to get AI further developed because the companies making all of this gold rush have a call coming in a few years. There is a dark secret about AI, while most people think a machine is going to kill us all, the sick little thing is it already has, Companies have leveraged their CAPEX far enough where if the companies collapse it takes the world with it because we are sitting on a $10,000,000,000,000 stick of dynamite.
There’s bipartisan concern about the speed of AI’s development, but few Americans think either major political party has an advantage in handling artificial intelligence. Trump, a Republican, also gets a low rating on his handling of the issue, with 67% of U.S. adults disapproving of his performance on AI.
While POTUS is renaming AI to SI(super intelligence) while ignoring SI (Système international d’unités) which is set to create confusion.
Stephanie Stewart, a junior-high science teacher in Sunset, Utah, said she is frustrated by the president’s opposition to AI regulation. “There is no handling of the issue except for we’re just going to allow these companies to do whatever they want, and we’re not going to regulate them,” said Stewart, 53.
The fact is, Stephanie is right, These AI companies are going to do what they want while Steph’s kids pump out AI finished homework and slop instead of studying. Because current administration thinks that AI is a super weapon. Again I offer a weapon to stop this AI menace..
Most say protecting workers should be a priority for the government Ron Theusch, a truck driver who lives in rural Alden, Minnesota, said his No. 1 concern with AI is the potential loss of jobs — including his own. “I can just see a train of self-driving trucks 24/7, just running up and down I-35, loading and unloading. I can just see that happening,” said Theusch, 58.
People Think the world is going to be AI overnight but they are not watching where AI has taken over, Have you spoke to a real person at a company recently? Have you spoke to a real person at a drive through? How many scam calls have you received that they can not tell you what 1+1 is. Ron is safe, AI can drive but it can not handle roads with road rage on it and the LLM’s know this. LLM’s cant handle adversarial drivers either. Tesla knows this and this is the very reason your hands are supposed to be on the wheel and not a banana taped to it.
The funny thing about this graph, is it shows a VERY important thing. if everyone wants AI to work with them they have totally ignored it, I have highlighted what people are ignoring and by far it is the most important thing on that list. If we want AI and workers to succeed… AI needs to become an augment of the human soul, it needs to be controlled by the human. By augmenting the human with the AI you make both sides of the equation better, AI gains a soul, the human gains the average of the collective human intelligence. AI gains intuition and it most of all gains a…
“I am kind of moderate. And I see that there’s good on both sides,” said Stewart. “Anyone back in Washington is weak on doing anything for anyone but themselves right now. So, no, I don’t think the Democrats would do a better job per se. Maybe they would definitely tout it. But until I see anything coming from anyone, I’m going to be like, ‘Yeah, no. You’re all just sitting there.’”
In closing as we get to the end of this stupid article I am in agreement with this person. AI can be good and bad. It can be terrible and Great. But over all AI is nothing more than a 20 questions game that can be controlled with a Light Switch.

You know what grinds my gears…
Yes , Messes are annoying. I hate them. though i have caused my fair share of messes myself. When I was growing up I used to leave my room in a clusterfuck. honestly as i got older i did clean but when i did someone would come in and fuck my room up. It pissed me off. So I left my room a mess, not just a mess, a GLORIOUS MESS!
Fucking really. in my teenage years it became easier to leave my room a mess, it was a barrier, it kept people out, It kept me in . So I did not have to deal with people. Although I had simple rules, if I had a path out of my room it was “fine” . because when i did clean my room it was like clockwork that someone would come in, go through my shit and throw shit out and claim it was “help” . The aftermath was me digging through the trash and having to dig out thousands of dollars of stuff.
As I’ve gotten older I keep my stuff cleaner, or try. It’s hard. Somedays I go from clean to clusterfuck and I am not even the one doing it .
Excuse my rant while I froth.
More coffee….. We all need it some days.
Since I’ve moved into my new place, I have a conundrum for the ages. As a drinker or better said a former drinker of outside coffee because I was too impatient to wait for the coffee pot , have the coffee cool down than make it into an iced coffee. I’ve bought coffees from almost every major company that served iced coffee. But as the years press on and the coffee gets watered and cheapened its getting very hard to make a choice , Now i can’t blame the companies , Its more over the franchisees . There are problems all around, They have crazy employee turnover and skip on machines in order to earn more money.
Formally, You’d have well trained employees that could manipulate the machines , now they just do whatever the hell they please when making coffee. For the milk and cream containers they have straws that need to be cut to a certain length , You just do not see that anymore, also the portioning has gone fucking nuts. Dunkin Donuts for explain if you ask for extra sugar , You summon the Brimley god and have to sign a contract.
I’ve said in other post that i’ve sort of cracked the enigma code of ordering from dunkin donuts, if you look at the receipts they do not list regular sugar/ Medium sugar /Extra sugar/Extra super Diabeetus sugar. If you watch the cash register when you order a coffee you will see the coffee droid press the Sugar button with a fix amount of sugar 1 2 3 4 5 6 sugars normally, I’ve seen these go higher. For the poor souls that do not know this system and ask for extra extra sugar they normally get this in there coffee!
There maybe a dunkin donuts under that pile! After they get a bulldozer to check where it is .
Honey Dew on the other hand 95% of the time they are fairly good repulsing the Brimley god away, Even asking for extra sugar the does not quake with the Eventual resurrection of the Brimley god. On a rare occasion at honey dew though you will get a new worker that makes the mistake of it but they are whipped tortured and appeased to the brimley god so he does not rise. My only problem with honey dew these days is travel time. I walk or ride my bike so its a little bit of a huff to get to my preferred coffee. Though my bike was just stolen not too long ago. So my options are not really that great right now due to limited travel and health issues and being disabled does not help me get a bike .
Starbucks ….. Is …. Special , there is no way about this, they are just damn special. The last time I attempted getting coffee from there was a failure on all levels. Ten monkeys on miralax had a better chance of getting my coffee, I walked in thinking hey no line, A guy working on a particle physics book and 5 workers…. I thought to myself “this just might work” The person in front of me ordered a simple coffee and I thought this will be quick. I have no idea of the mental breakdown between five workers and two customers could reach critical mass this easy. So after standing around watching these coffee baristas in action, THis is where all things started going down hill. Out of the 5 coffee droids 4 had short outs and the register droid was broken as well. The order was made and from Cashout to coffee serve was longer than 10 minutes. I have never seen so many question in my life about an order and I tried to be patient. While Starbucks is a bit higher in price i was ready to pay the premium to avoid Dunkin Gonuts. Wrong move there, I should of just rolled around in coffee grinds while forcing K-cups into my eyes. I ended up leaving ten minutes into this exorcize of watching how coffee is made by professionals.
This was the final straw, I’ve gone to making my own iced coffee. Sure it has a learning curve, but the money savings are excellent. In 3 weeks i’ve only bought myself coffee outside the house 2 times and both were goooooood.
You can make your coffee any damn way you want it . Even if you want nuclear death coffee or coffee that you can mess with genetics with and rewrite the base of the universe. Overall i’ve spent 10 dollars on making my own coffee and its worked out really well. I keep perfecting my coffee to the taste i want. which is pretty much Stronger than all of the coffee shops aaround without tasting like burnt donkey ass (starbucks) Coffee Flavored Water (dunkin) Or A fairly ok Coffee for day to day that i miss (Honey Dew) . But the savings are extreme by making your own coffee…. I’ve likely been saving somewhere around 5$ a day by avoiding coffee shops.
Note: this post was made at 4:30, I’m half brain-dead.
With a new place to live i am testing more ways to make coffee and trying to replicate drinks from coffee places and see what I can come up with. I have pretty much nailed down iced coffee to perfection of what i want.
In two and a half weeks my wallet is also noticing that i am saving money on my attempt to make my own coffee, From my own math so far in 2.5 weeks if i had gone to a store for coffee everyday I would of spent over 70.40 in coffee , Thats fucking insane, Since I’ve started this i’ve spent less than 15$ for coffee and still have half a bag left.
I am curious to see where this goes and see how much of a savings there is by the 21st of this month… Lets see…
Coffee post to follow up shortly!
Drowning…
I’ve had a Crazy last couple of months and I’ve been working to save my house and Its just been one sacrifice after another and its getting to the point I’m burying myself in debt.
After having surgery and working to keep the house afloat its just been to the point where I do not know which way is up, currently my debt is shooting up past $4000 . I wish i could get myself out of this hole and be done with it but right now my focus is trying to get the house back to normal.
Its part of the reason i’ve not really posted in the last couple of months. its hard enough to retain sanity trying to Stop skidding down the road and being not able to pay creditors. as much as i don’t want to I’m going to put a donation button up in the random case that someone out there can help. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
