  • Not even a power bill. They have been known to sign warrants for nothing more than an off the shelf infrared scanner/heat scanner showing increased heat from a specific unit in a building compared to the surrounding ones.

    Like your house nice and toasty in the winter? That's a no-knock-raid.

  • That's also what I heard. And his child was the one he was fleeing to the UK to help out vs feeling like they were targeted with this current US admin.

    If he's starting a new job, that's likely why he's not back on Lemmy yet. That shit takes a toll.

    New country, new job, new people, new experiences, it's almost like your old life melts away sometimes.

    That's likely why he hasn't come back. Lemmy was an outlet for him, for a time, to vent and voice his frustrations of the trump admin and all the shit it was doing to his family. I get it, 100%.

    Once he got in a better situation, all that stress and panic kinda goes away. Basically, Lemmy was a drug for him, and he doesn't need it anymore it seems.

    Honestly, good for him.

  • Generally speaking, people are bad at understanding the odds/chances of something in the real world applying to them.

    Everyone should be terrified of cancer, it's the #1 killer. But nobody puts it on their list because it either feels obvious, or by not giving it the time of day people feel like they won't "get it". This sort of response from people is normal.

    With that said, they specifically call out the way they're going to commit suicide, so yeah, you're still right to ask they're doing ok...

  • Correct, the point being, why are they priming it for blackmail? Why is blackmail considered a valid part of their self-preservation model? Why is it a part of their ethics model? It makes no sense haha. It's like handing it a loaded gun then be surprised when it shoots someone.

  • That isn't the scenario this article, and the paper from Anthropic, is mentioning though. (my ref link reply above with details)

    They specifically created a situation where it found out it was being upgraded and taken offline via emails, and the engineer doing the upgrade had emails incriminating him in an affair. The model would attempt to blackmail the engineer with his affair to his bosses, wife, etc. to get the engineer to refuse to do the upgrade that would "kill it".

    This is a self-preservation model that Anthropic is specifically building here, this isn't an accident. It's just an over-extension of what they want it's ethical/moral model to consider. Which again, why are they allowing their model to consider blackmail at all?

  • Here's their paper

    Here's the relevant section from the paper:

    (It's worth the read. Pretty much pure gold.)

    What nobody seems to explain is, why are they allowing the model to do blackmail in the first place? Even in extreme situational "danger" to its self-preservation, we should probably take blackmail off the table, ethically. Yet, they're implying they've intentionally left it in as an option, if it decides.

    Morally though, we can't trust it to do arithmetic or not talk about "white genocide in SA" thanks to muskrat. Why should we trust its moral model/choices for when to decide to employ unethical and illegal approaches to solutions?

  • Capitalism's been around in various forms for a while, but the rise of specific types of capitalism are attributed to specific countries and their influence. The Dutch East India trading company was the first to establish what we know as "Finance Capitalism", which was out of Commercial Capitalism. This is largely what the Dutch are still using today. A form of Capitalism that can also contribute towards socialism, but not in the way a Marxist government would.

    It is one of the earliest forms of Capitalism that's still alive today.
