Your claim of "trust" is just a polite way of saying anyone  outside your approved political lane should be dismissed on sight.

When their intent is evil, absolutely.

There is no excuse for you not to know that Surly is linked on the top of the page.  Is this your way of trying to pull on me what they tried to do to Jack Smith?  That would be so if I let your oversight pass.

Hawks or Hawkeyes? Eric Schmitt’s Jack Smith grilling runs into basketball mix-up

Senator Eric Schmitt mistakenly accused special counsel Jack Smith of attending an Atlanta Hawks basketball game, confusing it with a University of Iowa Hawkeyes game against Maryland that Smith actually attended. The mix-up emerged during a Senate hearing, where Smith denied being in Atlanta or meeting Georgia prosecutors, prompting Democrats to demand an apology. The error highlighted a broader Republican effort to question Smith’s conduct and alleged coordination with local prosecutors investigating former President Trump.

The You-Tube video is a day old, one article is about a month old.  The other is a couple of days old.  The doom hype is to distract you from unsavory aspects the elite tech gurus do not want discussed.  The true existential threat.  Them.

“Deep Unlearning”: Timnit Gebru on AI Hype, Ethics & Algorithmic Racial Bias

Timnit Gebru critiques artificial intelligence for perpetuating societal biases through data rooted in Western and male-dominated perspectives. She underscores the environmental and financial costs of large models and the exploitation of global labor in data labeling. Through Black in AI and DAIR, she champions inclusive tech development and resists the industry’s relentless pursuit of scale without ethical consideration.

I have no evil intent. Never have. My clinical observation of folks who have interesting..... perspectives....has been discussed before. I haven't thought of the title to any paper I might write some day when I'm bored...don't know if it should lean peak oilers specifically, or the doomer niche at large. <shrug> I've got a to-do list that will last until I die, who knows if it rises in priority or not.

As for Surly, I pay no attention to your front page, I just beam in to the forum. I have SEEN your front page, the only thing of note was the CO2 tracker, I liked that. But the rest of it? Wild color schemes, topics of minor interest at best and seemingly a unidirectional doom scroll. Sort of like Surlys I guess. I prefer his organization of it is all.

There you go, I really don't have to argue with you, you trip over yourself all the time.  Really, all I have to do is wait.

THIS PAGE, look at the top of this pay and refresh a few times.  There are only a few banners in rotation, 4 or 5.  And you have watched this page load at least 100 times.

'Things may get ugly': Meta's new AI Muse is about to make the internet more annoying

Meta’s new AI agent Muse aims to automate daily tasks but may overwhelm digital systems through unchecked activity, disrupting businesses, exhausting resources, and exploiting users via flawed security and hidden data practices. With no regulatory framework in place, its unchecked autonomy threatens privacy, fuels competition for limited goods, and leaves society unprepared for an internet dominated by autonomous machines.

NOTE TO ALL READERS, DO NOT USE THESE THINGS.  They are 50% spyware and 50% code and they may be altogether too good at spending your money for you.

I am writing one from scratch without any spyware and the process involves reverse engineering a few agent codebases.  It will of course run on the video cards only.  No data centers.  I have been crunching on the code for days.

And oh my stars what I have seen.

* As an FYI feature I will track input and output token count and 'charge' myself at the lowest going rate. ($2 for a million input and $12 for a million output tokens.)  Then on the Open Paw agent dashboard I will be able to see the money I am not having to pay our royal born tech overlords.

‘AI Is The Devil’: This Dario Amodei's Spoof Has Anthropic CEO Asking To Be Stopped

Amid rising public anxiety about artificial intelligence, Anthropic’s CEO was satirized on Saturday Night Live as a conflicted executive whose character revealed hidden fears that developers understand the dangers of their work yet proceed regardless. The sketch exposed a chilling disconnect between corporate reassurances and the grim reality that AI may ultimately serve as a tool for weaponization.

Anthropic’s $2 trillion IPO dream rests on staggering revenue bet

Anthropic’s potential $2 trillion IPO hinges on projecting nearly $200 billion in 2028 revenue, a dramatic leap from its current run rate. Investors are betting that sustained growth, diversifying revenue streams, and dominant AI adoption will justify unprecedented valuations despite massive infrastructure costs and fierce competition. The market’s willingness to price future potential over present profits reflects deep confidence in AI’s transformative role, making this IPO a pivotal test of how much of the industry’s promise Wall Street is ready to buy today.

It's so reassuring that we have such compassionate & caring people leading the charge into the Brave New World of an AI driven society looking out for the best interests of Humanity. 🙄

GOT IT!!! Well there you have it. I hit one of these forum pages and go right to the text. Never even noticed that Surly reference at all.

I HAVE watched the page load more than 100 times....I just don't pay any attention to the top. Why would I? My intent is simple...."are there any new posts AFTER my last one". As there are only the 3 of us kicking around, anything other than that is irrelevant. I've got reddit for full-scale wide band doom of all kinds, including Surly's aggregation.

Well, while I admit to having been raised in the midst of the classic Appalalchian 'holler, I know who both parents were, and they weren't related. So no, no inbreeding that I know of going back at least 3 generations. And by then those folks were mixed eastern european and Irish, so unlikely any inbreeding that far back either.

And again, assigning "evil intent" to someone who just studies, postulates, does the science and builds econometric models that benefitted by being right in the exact moment when the peak oilers were at their apex...hey....it is only fair I can kick back and coast on my well earned professional reputation at this point.

classic Appalalchian 'holler,

Exactly what a bot would do, fall back on the script.  Less than 1000 words can contain 'everything you have 'revealed' about yourself from day one.

And that is being generous, I take it back  500 words.

Good to know I suppose. I'm not a bot. You and RE are the ones claiming that I am a real person ever since RE was busy sicing Haniel on me to dox forum members. So which is it? I am a person with a name you've already bought into, or now I'm suddenly a bot? Because...you are busy doing AI stuff?

Less than 1000 words can contain 'everything you have 'revealed' about yourself from day one.

Really? So when the peak oilk amateurs called resource play development "unconventional", a BOT understood, and explained to said amateurs, the history of the USGS definitions on continuous accumulations thereby demonstrating that those using the words "conventional" and "unconventional" were just geologic incompetents? And did this YEARS before phantom "bots" came along to be involved?

Please. I mean, farcical is pretty common around here with the MIB playing inside your databases all invisible like, and not being able to calculate something as basic as camera coverage in DC to collect info on BigBalls and someone beating him up, and so on and so forth, but a bot?

So who the hell sent you on a Dan Jarvie witchhunt? Did a bot feed RE IP numbers confirming the me bot was traveling too and from conferences and registering my name there....all to mess with YOUR mind a decade later?

Farcical K-Dog. With RE I figure when he was being silly it was because he was just in another one of his drunken stupors. You aren't stoned out of your mind tonight are you?

OpenAI's Undeniable Resurgence and the Coming Liftoff of Personal AI Agents

I recommend watching this Dots demo video by an OpenAI employee. Dots can go through your email, calendar, Slack messages and documents and suggest work priorities. You can also call your Dot to book travel, look at hotel options and ask about traffic patterns.

I'm probably underestimating the gullibility of the average J6P Konsumer, but this Hard Sell of all the GREAT things having your own Personal AI Agent will do for you seems to me like something I neither need or even WANT.

Do I want an Agent to book my Travel Plans?  I never used travel agents even when they were people.  Do I want an Agent to respond to my emails and do my online banking?  I'm supposed to TRUST one of these cyber secretaries with my Login info and Passwords?

What % of the population leads such a bizzy Calendar-Filling life that they need a Personal Assisstant, either the traditional kind that you can also fuck on your bizness trips or the new AI kind that just talks dirty to you?  I think the folks designing these Aps for AI confuse things THEY want to go with their  7 figure salary and what your average J6P who these days can afford maybe 1 vacation every 5 years wants.

If this is what AI enthusiasts think will bring in the ROI to justify a $10T buildout, I think they will be sadly disappointed.

RE

[K-Dog]

You need a personal digital assistant so they can charge you for one.  You get a digital slave, and you become a real one.  Then they can watch everything you do too.  That info is money to them, you become their cash cow. 

You pay them and they rent your ass out.  Money for nothin is the Merican way.  Or at least dreams of it.  The idea that money is actually frozen labor is soooo yesterday.


Convenience is an easy sell.  For a little convenience Americans are willing to sell close relatives.  Convenience is status.  Joe six pack agrees.  Joe will kill for convenience.   It is addictive, and AI is the Swiss Army Knife of lazy.
