  • Knowing that would require techbros to actually read, so I’m not shocked

    This made me wonder/have a quick revelation. You know how those 419-scams are intentionally misspelled a bit so people who would not fall for the scam later down the line get weeded out early? What if this is why all these companies name themselves after evil artifacts, and or misuse fables, etc (I seem to recall a Hillary Clinton convention also had a ā€˜we are gonna do ozymandias’ thing, but not sure if that was real). It is to weed out the skeptics who might scare away the easier marks. What if this isn’t by accident, but intentional? (Could also just be my paranoia).









  • HOPE (Hackers on planet earth, a hacker convention) tried to invite some AI companies people as speakers and the reactions has been interesting

    We have reached out to people at some of the major AI companies in the list below, asking them to speak at this year’s HOPE conference to start an open dialog about AI. Yet, in every case, when the representatives of the AI companies learned that their talk would not be allowed to be a mere unchallenged sales pitch, they became significantly less interested. And when they learned we would allow— and encourage— audience members to ask questions, the representatives stopped responding to us altogether. This happened with each and every company.
