I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I’m not in favor of.

Oh man, I suspected that was artificial! 😡

I’m wondering if you have the “cookie notices” and “annoyances” filters disabled? They are not checked by default. It’s under settings > filter lists. FWIW the page loaded cleanly for me.

They’re essentially making the argument that if you accept that a civilization can eradicate itself (via nuclear war, climate change, plague, a generation of ipad kids, etc etc) even if you calculate that chance of eradication to be infinitesimally small, then given cosmic time scales it becomes a near inevitability.

But if you choose to believe (without evidence) that an interstellar civilization exists that definitionally can’t be eradicated by any means then yes, definitionally that civilization will persist.

Sort of. The article is making the argument that on a cosmic timescale, one won’t even need a “great filter” to explain Fermi’s paradox. Any civilization with even a minuscule chance of eradicating itself will eventually do so given billions of years.

We don’t have evidence that civilizations on other worlds exist at all, but you are saying we should be working under the assumption that these things we don’t have evidence for can’t self-eradicate?

I have every single one memorized but typing the entire paths in with my TV remote is taking a long time.

The paper this article links to just assumes a “probability of self-annihilation” without actually addressing the “how”

Is that really such a strange perspective? Surely you must accept the idea that even without knowing every possible mechanism of death, the probability of death for every lifeform we have ever encountered approaches 100% over time.

I’m guessing you didn’t read the article, but the answer to your question is “sort of” if the “filter” in question is civilization itself.

This is the right answer OP!

Shame there is no plan for a physical release but still cool

Framework, but their laptops are also about twice as expensive as equivalent models from other brands.

Eh, I just ran some comparisons and Framework is only about $100 more than the cheapest equivalent in another brand with the same CPU/Memory. $200 more with Windows.

From their website:

Computers, notebooks, PCs and laptops from TUXEDO Computers are not mass-produced or off-the-shelf. Each device is individually assembled, installed, configured and tested for you.

I get what you’re saying is a joke, but most people don’t know about Newpipe or whatever the current alternative app is, and soon most people won’t be able to sideload anyway when Google makes it’s changes to Android.

It’s not good that Google/Meta are exposing these people to scammed for the crime of simply for not knowing how to sideload.

The article that you are commenting underneath is the original source for the quote about Star Trek and does not contain any mention of prequels.

If you open YouTube shorts in a new account or an account that doesn’t store history the ads are nearly exclusively AI slop scams. This is not just a Meta issue.
