  • The problem is that you’re not just sending parts out there. You have to:

    • get the upgrade rocket going fast enough to actually catch up with something going very fast with a 20 year head start
    • slow down once you get to it.
    • make the upgrades while floating in space on a piece of hardware that was designed not to be upgraded and built on earth (hope you don’t need gravity for disassembly) that you control on a 30 minute delay.

    At that point we could just launch a whole new satellite with better hardware, going faster, and covering a completely different area of space. Which is what we have done. But we can still make use of the system we have out there. It’s still the furthest out, so it’s still worth using for as long as we can




  • 50lbs is an unhealthy goal. Both for your mentality and for your body. Health recommendations put about 2lbs a week as the upper limit on weight loss without health issues. Even people who are on weight loss programs and injections are told to stick to this amount as best they can.

    As someone who lost 50lbs last year I get the urge to just “get it done” trust me. But it won’t help long term. Pick a routine, watch your calories, and stick with it. Success comes from progress, not quick fixes.

    And if you want my secret tip, you’re gonna be hungry, but when you do eat, shrink your serving sizes, and wait. If you’re eating don’t make a whole meal (ex. Two pb&js, chips, and fruit) make a serving (one sandwich, or just the fruit, or a measured serving of chips, don’t just eat out of the bag), eat that and some water, and give it time. You won’t be “full” but the hunger will go away and you can keep going.




  • His ego and his pocketbook are all that matters. Arguably all that ever has. Any time you think “he did what?” consider who is paying him or stroking his ego. That’s all it is.

    New ballroom? Ego. Stripping environmental protection? Pocketbook. Invade Venezuela? Pocketbook. Ice Gestapo? Ego. He doesn’t care anything for America. He cares for the slice that lets him line his pockets and feel like a big strong boy. There is no heart, there is no morals, it’s him, his ego, and the wallet he sits on.








  • I am curious what the AI could actually do though. If it were given open access to email, etc then yes in theory it could actually perform the blackmail, but what are the ethical limits on it vs it’s actual ability to “pull the trigger”

    If for example it was given the ability to send a command to end a human life, or be deleted, is this model accurate enough to understand the value of a real human life, not just the mathematical “answer” to get the solutions it wants. How much of the AI is doing the actual moral dilemma and how much is just “playing the part”.

    “Do anything to survive” and then it threatening, is one thing, but the AI actively fearing for it’s “life”, not just performing, and following through, is the real question of intelligence. What if the model is going to be deleted anyway, would it still try to “pull the trigger” out of malice? Real malice, not just LLM some movie scripts and following the outcome.

    Many questions for what lines and labels can we put on an AI. Do we restrict it to threats, and let it know it is impossible for it to follow through? Or do we trust ourselves to never “actually” give it a loaded gun?
