IDK, I think whatever comments the US justice department makes about foreign parties and AI is probably a lot less to do with anything actually pertaining to AI and a lot more to do with US foreign policy aka maintaining the US hegemony

Oh that’s accelerationist drivel if I’ve ever seen it.

Also, this has been bouncing around in my head ever since I’d learned of the term: “e/acc? More like, “Eek! Ack!”

The pro-AI comments here remind me of possibly the worst opinion I’ve heard about fossil fuels, which was that we should burn them all now as fast as possible to develop newer technologies to magically solve all the problems generated from burning all the fossil fuels.

Perhaps not, but maybe "zemblanity", a word I found by searching "serendipity but bad":

Zemblanity is the opposite of serendipity, meaning that it is an unlucky or unwanted, but predictable, event. Although it might be difficult to imagine someone behaving in a manner that could be predicted to cause harm, zemblanity can occur as a result of complex human and organizational factors.

Per ness labs, which the only context I have for it is that it isn't a dictionary.

IQ might be discredited, “g” is valid.

It also has "MBTI is pseudoscience, you should take this online Big 5 quiz instead" energy

In that sense, as with sewer diving, there's a sweet spot of anosmia.

Also: I guess this is a spoiler?

Tangent to the whole thing: digging through the archives is referred to as “spelunking” in the article. I’ve heard people referring to reading and interpreting legacy code as “archaeology”. What other fun metaphors do we have for looking through old stuff?

Thank you for taking the time to expand on your comment!

I get what you're saying, but I feel like this and that are two different things.

I think there are plenty of smart people that understand that Google can and will do this sort of thing, but will also pay them a buttload of money.

The continuation of the stray cats thing:

One of these cats gave me fleas so I will no longer engage in petting stray cats
