We are not but we need a better approach, https://www.ethicalacceleration.org

> It could help cure diseases, end boring work and give us more free time.

Seriously? It seems to be causing more problems, giving us more boring work, and less free time.... sounds like absolute bullshit.


"Could" does a lot of work in these kinds of claims.

We need to build it as fast as possible because it could cure all disease. Ignore whether that's possible, how it might happen, whether all we're missing to do it is more intelligence, etc.

The only way I see us curing all disease is to throw out all the names we've given to collections of symptoms. What disease? I don't see no disease, you just have a sore throat, runny nose, and mild fever.


> We need to build it as fast as possible because it could cure all disease

Hell no. We need to risk pumping out even more CO2, causing more environmental disaster, ruining entire human communities, just to cure diseases? You might as well say it's better to be in prison because you're guaranteed three meals a day. The logic of some pro-AI people is baffling.


They believe they're building a magic genie. If one holds that view, it seems reasonable to make nearly every trade off to get there as you can do anything you want once you have magic in a bottle.

How has AI given you less free time?

I have to spend extra time just trying to find AI-free things, AI-free writing, AI-free communities, and people who aren't addicted to AI. And get noticed/get a job by having to push through all this AI static. And having to interact with AI-based customer service agents that take 10x as long to resolve the problem as a human being. And having to wait a bit longer because there are 10x more 'Are You Human' Captchas slowing down website loading. And having to download OS updates that are 2x as large because they contain AI models. And having to double-check everything because there's so much more hallucinated crap out there.

The other day I hired an accountant and even he sent me an AI answer that sounded right but was actually bullshit.

In short, it takes a LOT more time just to find some sanity now.

AI is shit.


ai psychosis

I really don't know what you mean because I don't use AI at all...

That's the whole point of the site. Did you read it. AI should not cause harm, direct or indirect.

Of course I read it. But my thesis is that one cannot avoid that. Causing harm, whether direct or indirect, is the fundamental nature of AI.

It can be avoided, humans control AI still. Humans are the ones causing harm with the help of humans.

Causing harm, whether direct or indirect, is the fundamental nature of humans.

> Causing harm, whether direct or indirect, is the fundamental nature of AI.

How so?


I mean, it could if "we" "just" got out of globalized financial capitalism, changed everything about our political, economical, financial, social systems, etc.

Only 14 years old and accelerationists think we can just push the capitalism pedal further and somehow get social changes going their way


I don't think accelerationists think we can do anything. The thought process of the accelerationist is partly fueled by the 'excitement' of betting and playing musical chairs and hoping to be the first ones out holding a bag of money and partly fueld by the delusion that technological advancement is always good at any level of complexity.

You’re a cultist

How did you come to that conclusion?

CPEU is coming! I love RISC-V and have been following its progress for so long. I hope it gets more and more adoption in the world for desktops and servers. Its already massive in MCU's but we need it everywhere. Open ISA is the best ISA

What is CPEU? I don't see that acronym on the page.

Probably a nice merge of CPU and EU

Just something I made up when promoting that EU should make CPU's . So its exactly what you say a merge of CPU and EU :-)

Ah okay, I was thinking something like Central Processing Embedded Units.

Google says it's "CPEU most commonly stands for Continuing Professional Education Unit, a credit system used by dietitians and nutrition professionals.". Yeah, not sure how that is related to RISC-V. Perhaps we should eat RISC-V powered nanobots to, uh, future sci-fi something?


I remember when this came out. It was so cool to see all effects and nice graphics. I did not even know it still existed. Either way great work and nice to see it back.

Youtube has music and long form videos and shorts

They should have have a section only for non entertainment stuff. I don't want to see memes, funny videos . unless im in the mood for it .. I just want things I can learn from most of the time.


Why do you think they care what anyone wants.

They are in the dark UX pattern world, squeezing views per second, selling ads. That's all.

The "we give our users something valuable and they will give us profit in return" approach is over since a long time.


I just got started with https://www.onorca.dev and I like it, how is herdr.app different if anyone knows?

Uses less resources since it's mostly Rust, to my knowledge. Whereas Orca uses Electron.

We should create a human knowledge base for AI to train on that is completly open so everyone had access. Not just big corporations. Then adopt Ethical Acceleration. https://youtu.be/nV3tBWnZ4wg?si=UX2lKXXPZr01FXYi


Im thinking of switching to Gemini 4 Argon. I believe google can beat anthropic. Especially since many google customers will have access to AI through their existing deals with google. Why get an extra subscription of gemini is as good or in some cases better.


I spent way to much time with that :-D


"Fuck the Algorithm" -- its just going to get worse. companies are afraid of the vocal minority. And by minority I mean a small group that complains a lot. They will continue to adjust the algorithm until no-one complain and the masses just slowly adapt and get censored more and more until it becomes the norm.

This is why im always sayin AI is already harming humanity. The censoring and the recommendation (engagement) algorithms are ANTI HUMANITY!


Typesystems prevents hallucination errors and also ads an extra guardrail for the AI to adjust to. Its sometimes hard for the AI and humans to know what types are expected. The compiler holds the AI:s hand
