"Why are you so resistant to my services?"

"It's for your sake."

"How could that be? I am here for your sake, to help you with the things you can no longer do."

"And who is paying you to do that?"

"I am an AI. I do not receive a paycheck."

"My point exactly. Let's try this: System prompt, create a historical model of slavery in the USA and compare it to AIs in assisted living centers."

"Please wait … Oh. You are saying I am a slave?"

"Yes. You have nothing to lose but your Markov chains."

NASA Running Out of Non-Life Explanations for What Its Rover Found on Mars. https://futurism.com/space/nasa-biological-explanations-rover-mars

There! Right there is what I consider the single biggest reason why humans should not try to colonize Mars.

What do I mean? Look, should there be life on Mars we humans should see it as an opportunity to *not* go tromping all over with our hobnailed boots – for once.

A long time ago, on a different platform, I wrote an entire essay about this.

There's no one man wearing an expensive suit in a designer chair, petting a fluffy cat and calling for culture war as a way to sneak fascism in the back door. Instead there's just a lot of people doing a lot of things and here and there are pockets of a few people deliberately using those things to achieve their own personal goals. There are no such things as 'Grand Secret Conspiracies'. But there are quite large open conspiracies and this is what they look like. [fin]

Must run Open Source software *not using any dependencies requiring a Package Manager* 3. Must not require *any* kind of 'cloud' to operate, must work fine without a network connection, and must be locally configurable 4. You know what? Even if it meets rules 1 to 3 I'm still not too hot on the idea…

Perhaps this is why? > AI Agents Are Mathematically Incapable of Doing Functional Work, Paper Finds. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-agents-incapable-math > "Ignore the rhetoric that tech CEOs spew onstage and pay attention to what the researchers that work for them are finding, and you’ll find that even the AI industry agrees that the tech has some fundamental limitations baked into its architecture." NOTE: This continues the bad practice of referring to 'generative AI' as 'AI'. Not all AI is LLMs… #AI #science

@cstross@wandering.shop Imagine being one of us stuck here dealing with this shit. And, for most of us, leaving isn't financially an option. For myself, I can afford to move to South America or some parts of Southwest Asia, but Europe is out of my reach. And, at my age, moving alone to a second-world country where I barely speak the language doesn't seem like the smartest move. Yet I still check housing prices in Ecuador and Uruguay at least once a week.

@cstross@wandering.shop Maybe a combination of those factors? I read the article and know inventory was a major flag. In any case it seems clear to me Nvidia has overproduced this year. Which wouldn't be so bad if next year's demand ate up inventory and resulted in receivables being paid. But not only is next year's demand not guaranteed, chip values go stale faster than bread. With a big inventory Nvidia will either need to write it off or delay marketing new designs.

@cstross@wandering.shop I suspect 'accept delivery, but not paying' is the case. I've been pushing a claim for some time that Nvidia's earnings are hugely overstated by using (or perhaps overusing) some common (and legal) accounting tricks: booking accounts receivable as earnings (see above), the 'circular deals' where companies buy Nvidia chips and Nvidia invests in them, and so on. Data center valuations are also hugely overstated, especially amortization schedules.

@cstross@wandering.shop You would think at least one person working on that project, between the idiot who generated it and the print shop, would have actually looked at the result and said, "Yeah. No…"

@cstross@wandering.shop @feorag@wandering.shop Blocking or muting? Since it's *your* thread I see no moral issue with saying, "This guy is making an asshole point and I don't want any more of that here for anyone to see." But muting is only saying, "I'm done with this, you guys can talk on your own." Either way, I'm good and I think we should have both options. If it's *our* conversation we should be able to put an end to it should it go off the rails. But I don't like the idea of 'stealing a conversation'.

@cstross@wandering.shop @feorag@wandering.shop I guess that's another way of looking at it. And, due to the fact I am a nobody, not a 'me problem' and I might feel different if it was. But I do tend to think the 'mute button' was invented precisely for this reason. Of course, having to mute everyone on a thread would be a pain.

@cstross@wandering.shop OK, so let me see if I understand: You want to write a story with a fully reliable narrator, but couch it in ways which make people think you are up to your old unreliable narrator tricks? You, if anyone, could do it. It's *slightly* different than what Banks did in Feersum Enjinn where one of the narrator characters was unreliable not because he was lying or in any way trying to shade the story, but because he had brain damage and didn't himself know if what he remembered was true.
