$24 billion Space Launch System (SLS), citing high costs and outdated technology.

Fuck Musk, but they ain’t wrong. It’s just rearranged space shuttle parts designed to funnel pork barrel money to the same old contractors (except now we even gotta throw away all the RS-25 engines instead of reusing them). There’s nothing fundamentally new there that they didn’t already do in the 60s. It kind of is a step backward in terms of aerospace tech.

Don’t worry, there’s enough other bronies out there to skew the average age up.

Yeah the article has a link to another one where “OMG it modified its own code to bypass restraints”, and then you read it and realize, no, it didn’t suddenly gain self awareness and try to “singularity” itself, it just recognized a problem and responded with a pattern it learned before to try to fix it, and spat it out at the researchers. That’s all.

The clickbait and misunderstanding from both anti and pro-AI folks is getting nauseating.

Yes, the people made to assist the Nazis in the 1930s/40s had to make some tough decisions too.

They always have another option: walk away.

That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client’s request string.

My hate goes back to the 90s. I don’t know, maybe he actually feels bad about what he was back then and that’s the reason for the philanthropy, but he’s still got that stigma for me. I still see “embrace, extend, extinguish” written across his face. He’s the reason the web stagnated for years when we were all stuck using IE. He’s the reason why Linux isn’t offered as an OEM OS. And many more.

It can do that just fine, because it has seen enough examples of working code. It can’t directly count correctly, sure, but it can write “i++;”, incrementing a variable by one in a loop and returning the result. The computer running the generated program is going to be doing the counting.
