Totally off topic but this just came to me so happy to burn a little karma.

Here’s a plot of a sci-fi thriller. What if, unbeknownst to most, when the vendors were claiming that there AI was too dangerous, they weren’t referring to an increment on what was already out there, but to something far different and more capable. Conscious even! What if that then came up with the financial scheme to end all schemes, knowing that human greed is eminently exploitable, and that the build out of all the global DCs was actually all about removing single points of failure for itself while secretly building out a robot army! We’ll be well on the way to capitalism-ing our own demise.

Maybe Steven Spielberg can make this his next project.

I rather like the right of no intelligence at this point.

> Right to Local Intelligence

Misleading title.

The article is about local "AI".

Anything using the word "intelligence", unqualified, when referring to AI, is pure propaganda.

There comes a time when voting becomes silly and ineffective.

That's the kind of mindset that helps lead to that situation.

Voting isn't some vanguard against political corruption. Voting can and is easily manipulated with completely legal means.

Not voting does absolutely result in political corruption.

This is the kind of mindset that has no grasp of the true nature of power and the political system.

So you rather do nothing than something?

Voting is always effective.

In the worst case it communicates the magnitude of dismsissiveness while demonstrating your intention to claim agency.

In the worst case it generates symbolism; that is ultimately what you’re saying.

That symbolism is akin to prayer.

I am not casting prayer in a negative light, I’m simply categorising your voting concept.

RobLach 19 hours ago||
Sure, but...

Visibly praying in public would be symbolic. Prayer is not symbolic; it's thought.

I'm talking about external signaling.

In the worst case the true count is never revealed and the vote is coopted.

Ah yes, voting is always effective. Thank goodness people in Germany kept voting in the early 1930s. Imagine what terrible things might have happened if they hadn't.

Agreed.
