Saw the OPENAI story on the news (a bot broke into another company using stolen passwords it found online) and the anchor was very amused by the story. They showed a clip from T2 Judgement Day. We're getting close!
As a gambler, I predict an AI malicious death (or multiple) in the next decade.
Saw another longer story where they were talking to an expert about it. The problem is the programmers are already uncomfortable with the speed they are moving. The investors have their foot on the gas because if they don't do it, someone else will.

I don't follow him, but I'll say this. I didn't start really feeling the affects of aging until about 55, so if my experience speaks to his comments, at 40, he doesn't know what he doesn't know. Although I think I look healthier than most fellers my age, my body is a complete mess. The quality of life decline I've seen since 55 is astonishing. For instance, on my recent Colorado vacation, we spent our time in the backcountry, like I've done for decades. However, this was the first time that I couldn't do any appreciable hiking. The meniscus in my right knee is a disaster. I've had surgery once already, and currently, I can go about 1/8 to 1/4 mile until the pain says, "sab, you better stop!" Again - that's the reason I put those atrocious step sliders on the LJ - to keep me in the backcountry as long as possible.
Then there's the arthritis, horrible presbyopia and cataracts, and lately, cognitive decline (hopefully just normal aging). I used to be able to do math in my head at a high level. Currently, not so much. I'm seeing a memory specialist next week to take a baseline measurement.
So, yeah, I'd love to reverse the aging process. Sadly, I don't trust the medical community enough that I'd ever go down that road...
Oh, I'm sorry - I thought this was the piss & moan table thread...

Yeah he sounds like a 30 year old telling their friend turning 30 is not THAT old. Barf.
Are we ignoring abortion’s role?
Yeah that's crazy. Old starts at 30
Looking at him, I can see we disagree on many things, and while his tactics are odd and questionable, anything against these mass surveillance cameras, I support.

Feels a bit like engineered regression, but that probably makes me sound like some kind of conspiracy theorist...
