Obituarykidney 17 points 9 days ago

Yeah I have that thought regularly. These idiots can't just keep to themselves and be rich and do literally whatever the fuck they want, they have to be in the public eye and fuck with our lives. But so far none of them seem mentally stable enough to maintain a good image if they're in front of the camera enough without a pr person filtering the things they say.

So I hope it gets to them that no one likes them. I hope they feel supremely lonely. Like that time Elon Musk thought he would be super cool and stream playing PoE but ended up rage quitting in silence while crying (in his private jet) because twitch chat spammed stuff like "Grimes will never love you" and telling him to pay child support. I hope they feel like that every day.

Honestly imagine how much better the traffic for somewhere like greater LA could be made by an AI system using cameras and variable speed limit signs to control the traffic flow.

If they used A.I to make our lives better in just a few ways I think society in general would be so much more tolerant of their shit.

Palantir mostly does government contracts. If they haven't done a traffic system yet, it means no government has asked them to. So this one is on the LA local government as much as it is on the AI companies.

abbadon420 18 points 9 days ago

That's what I thought too. This isn't a mental breakdown. This is someone forgetting to keep up appearances. This is someone speaking his truth, because this is actually how it works. There is a lot of money in the military complex and drone warfare is quickly become the reality of war. That it sometimes targets schools, is a shame,but it's less costly than sending actual soldiers to the battlefield. I believe these are the kind of visions companies like palintir and the US army are build on.

Claude didn't target shit, Americans did. "AI told us bad people were there" is an excuse and a shitty one. Even if it did (and you can get AI to agree with any viewpoint so it very well may have), an actual human being made the call to double tap the school, either knowing it was a school or not bothering to look it up on Google maps before even ordering the strike.
