Good start, but alas they cannot become a developed European nation until they sort out their historically ingrained russophilia.

Because we need velocity. If we don't have velocity, we die.

Yes, they were always tasteless. One job of a platform SDK is to enable creating tasteful things that mesh nicely with the platform idioms, and make it hard to create tasteless things.

With AI, creating the tasteless thing became easy.

If you give people the ability to select a font, they will select Comic Sans.

>But why would billionaires want to kill everyone, exactly?

Most billionaires probably wouldn't. But the whole premise of A(S)I is that all it takes is a single billionaire with access to sufficient compute to do it.

Maybe they wanted to save the planet by culling the human population? Wouldn't be the weirdest thing the "effective altruists" (and their "rationalist" ilk) believed in.

What if I told you we already have the tech to manufacture these autonomous self-replicating killer nanobots?

We just call them "virus".

By "self-replicating killer nanobots" I meant "viruses". We already have the tech to engineer them, even without AI.

Thermal conductivity measures the heat flux given a temperature gradient. That is, how fast heat energy flows across a surface, given a certain temperature gradient across it.

It has nothing to do with the velocity of the heat carriers themselves (phonons, or charged particles).

E.g. phonons always travel at the speed of sound, in any material.

I mean, when police is destroying cocaine bricks, they don't give the empty packaging back to the criminals, even though the packaging wouldn't be illegal by itself. So if you mix CSAM in your data, expect the whole device to be destroyed.

>We have a looong time before we get fully autonomous self replicating decentralised robot armies.

We do have them actually. It's called: an engineered virus.

How do you do asymmetric warfare against autonomous self-replicating killer nanobots? In other words: AI-engineered bioweapons (with AI-engineered antidotes for the rich).
