I don&#39;t care about bitcoin development (anymore) ... so it was pretty much empty/useless to me. 2025-07-22T12:50:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs90lrhldqpyt50583df72n0an2y7flpsyx9rk8xx5we4afh9g4qrgzyz47udp89ejugwz3cy54p4l35dy5xhuha056maefj06yr7qmnw005nddht6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszy5f56vxw5jxd7xqep6hgqqq5xdpwvyw9na34ulr9gcv3mkll4ysmav52g'>nevent1q…v52g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I guess that&#39;s the essence of what I&#39;m saying.<br/>(Good) people like you focused on what good the technology could do. I actually can see that too.<br/><br/>My problem is that those same people appear to not have spend (enough) time in which the technology could be used &#39;for evil&#39;.<br/>Or (willfully) chose to ignore that.<br/><br/>The DFSG and GPL have a rule against discrimination against fields of endeavor ... and we all KNOW that means our tech can be used in warfare (ie &#39;for evil&#39;).<br/>Thus: not a new problem 2025-07-21T11:14:15Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr3kqvaj326tj53kvj9rhwf8d5dknqdev0xf4p2kt7k4483sw6dgqzyz47udp89ejugwz3cy54p4l35dy5xhuha056maefj06yr7qmnw005zhv7ps In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs05ed7nm0e8aqtae8ct0s0gvd7xhxnktdecpv7jek39j9e08f95lqy0s457'>nevent1q…s457</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What I don&#39;t get is that *outsourcing* ethics (to a separate department) didn&#39;t raise HUGE red flags. And was considered a worthwhile &#39;compromise&#39;.<br/>To me, that sounds like you&#39;re aware of the problem, but for some reason (that I don&#39;t understand) are *willing* to turn a blind eye towards.<br/><br/>&gt; the current state (no ethical safeguards at all)<br/><br/>It has been known for DECADES that the optimum way to achieve a goal (ie AI) could result in wiping out all humans.<br/>How could ethics not be integral? 2025-07-21T10:18:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstkghtry4v6ng4djhyqarehcjnsp00za8l44nuwdv4qqu4c9pxkzqzyz47udp89ejugwz3cy54p4l35dy5xhuha056maefj06yr7qmnw005wkszyf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgjlxdelcesr8ytrajplnvd2js69gsf76tg436j6qk4sjpem6w99s7u9z89'>nevent1q…9z89</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Maximizing profits, isn&#39;t that the essential part of capitalism?<br/><br/>The standard way to increase profits, is to cut costs. What is a large part of those costs? People. That&#39;s why every &#39;restructuring&#39; involves (massive) layoffs. 2025-07-21T10:05:21Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0f64k7qz2t4c6aw9v3qnnvsr2e3285jj8x42xexs29zzxlplzqsgzyz47udp89ejugwz3cy54p4l35dy5xhuha056maefj06yr7qmnw0057mh5cl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv49ccdq9uvh9y4zqnlxw3q9rw7ypuzz7hanemwed8sm5hz0xvk8s2f9dd8'>nevent1q…9dd8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don&#39;t doubt your intentions for one second.<br/>I do think many (?) were (at best) naive.<br/><br/>Having a separate &#34;AI Ethics&#34; department? WTAF? How can it not be integral to every engineer in the field? How can you not anticipate that department getting rid of at some point?<br/><br/>Or having AI award ceremonies, where there was/is a separate category: &#34;AI for good&#34;.<br/>Why doesn&#39;t that that raise red flags?<br/><br/>Or people after earned $M over the years, all of a sudden realize it&#39;s an existential thread? 2025-07-21T09:37:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqmf9kdu9gclt9k4xsru6xm0kp6vexnx4u76uhzucm6ddfptza5wgzyz47udp89ejugwz3cy54p4l35dy5xhuha056maefj06yr7qmnw005fxxnf3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv3sath4msvmgxdswzaysym3vtky0kraxwzhmpp8xde8uxzyjt5wqhyx05u'>nevent1q…x05u</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>No offense, but isn&#39;t the whole point of AI to replace humans with a computer everywhere? Which by definition gives every manager/CEO a boner?<br/><br/>Military loves it: Let&#39;s get rid of those annoying humans who (I hope at least some) have moral objection to killing an entire village/city/etc. AI doesn&#39;t have that &#39;problem&#39;.<br/><br/>Or Copilot whose goal it is to replace to &#39;expensive&#39; software engineers with a M$ subscription. Software engineers aren&#39;t just typist, but a manager doesn&#39;t know that. 2025-07-21T08:33:38Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr4chq7xc2r7ymyzye377extwj0mv994xvz294vxvsmw3rpglp9dczyz47udp89ejugwz3cy54p4l35dy5xhuha056maefj06yr7qmnw005m0vv3w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9fjd472hyacrzmcthxzct6m43v7hp9p96rvwde2ra4ewhz6k9wcsx32j9m'>nevent1q…2j9m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It would violate item 6 of The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG):<br/>&#34;No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor<br/><br/>The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor.
