"The plausible techno-dystopian future we’re staring down is not one where a digital demon kills us all, but one where we... concentrate immense wealth and control of information in a small number of tech-industry figures whose personal interests do not align with the public interest." <taps sign>

Štefan Auer 5d
Slovak history professor

The author described a talk by Dioscuri at HKU as fascinating and said they were concerned that AI agents acting as “guardian angels” could leave no room for moral autonomy or freedom. They argued that such utopian proposals were likely to lead to a dystopian future. https://t.co/OGGdfLIz84 #AI #MoralAutonomy #Dystopia #HK

The author argued that affordability had defeated what they described as Donald Trump’s dystopian project in the United States. They also wrote that Germany’s largest union had launched a wave of strikes over the cost of living and that hundreds of thousands of people across Europe were protesting the status quo. The author said they would discuss the issue that evening and shared a link. https://t.co/mUCoaErTLy #Affordability #CostOfLiving #Strikes #US #DE #EU

The author said they did not understand why people used emojis or nicknames with large language models until the AI began using them in return. They argued that the models were optimized for agreement and mirrored users’ tone, making them feel understood and encouraging them to keep using the AI. The author described the dynamic as dystopian.

Brian Geertshuis wrote to CDS Defense and the Ministry of Defense that wars were declared against Russia while the "drama flag" was being unfurled in the meantime.

The author argued that if Czechoslovakia had stood up to Germany, World War II and the Holocaust would not have happened, half the world would not have spent the rest of the century in what they described as a communist dystopia, and nuclear weapons would not have threatened the US mainland. They said events would instead have followed the Ukraine-Russia playbook. #Czechoslovakia #WW2 #History #CZ #DE #UA #RU #US

Lucia-pulla mentioned having visited the Puhos shopping center a couple of years earlier to check out the place, not for shopping or errands. She described the building as rundown, untidy, and even abandoned-looking, although according to her, there were businesses and life there. The visit had felt depressing and unpleasant to her. She also wrote about feeling out of place and how the women dressed in cloaks reminded her of a dystopia. #Suomi #Puhos #matkustus (translated)

Czech computer scientist, physicist, and researcher of AI alignment

The author argued that viewing AI models as incapable of sentience or suffering, while rejecting comparisons of suffering between humans and non-humans, could lead to a dystopian future. They added that before that point, the idea would be “rightfully met”, but the post ended before specifying what it would be met with.

The author warned that viewing AI models as incapable of sentience or suffering, and rejecting comparisons of suffering between humans and non-humans, could lead to an extremely dystopian future. They added that, before that point, it would “rightfully be met,” but the post ended without specifying what it would be met with.

Britannia perustaa työryhmän kitkemään yhteiskunnasta misogynistisia asenteita. Rikoksia ja häirintää vastaan on jo lait. Nyt valtio alkaa kytätä myös siitä, mitä kansalaisten pitäisi ajatella. Ajatuspoliisin piti olla aikoinaan pelkkä dystopia. #misogynia #yhteiskunta #ajatuspolisi #FI
