Why go all the way to China? Plenty of data centers to bomb right here in the US.

Well this would be considered a blessing and a curse. The old knuckle biter... the turd that was born only to drop down and splash your ass.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 6 days ago

Oh, yeah, let's go to war with China, GREAT idea! That won't be bad for the entire fucking world at all!

Oh come on, no one who would consider themselves to be a computer scientist thinks that LLMs will lead to AGI.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

This is just the kind of dumb shit I'd expect out of someone who has been highly placed within the US Government.

lets use obamas name as a carrot and ai as a stick to get folks onboard with something that is mother trumping stupid.

[-] OakTree@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

I’m going to run with this insane take next time I’m asked if I want one of these apparently legitimate military targets in my backyard

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

As much as I am all for the destruction of data centers, can we not find a civil solution like having governments create malware that destroys the contents of the server and then shreds the bytes instead?

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

That went ... Middlingly in Daemon by Daniel Suarez.

[-] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

They do know nukes will blow them up as well right?

So, this is the real reason they are selling the "AGI" bs narrative to regular people. More excuses for wars. As I have been saying....the US should be considered a global threat. Nobody is safe from this warmongering lunatics. If the world won't strike first....they will.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That's a two way street isn't it? 🤣

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

MAGA always forgets that. They were SHOCKED that Iran fired back, and immediately destroyed their logistics hub in Bahrain.

MAGA thinks everybody is as stupid as they are, and they don't understand that EVERYBODY is much smarter than them. Even the Pakleds understood that they were stupid. MAGAs are dumber that Pakleds.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Upvoted mostly for knowing about Pakleds.

I was also thinking there aren't enough wars

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 21 points 1 week ago

Can we stop pretending Obama and his cabinet were the good guts, yet?

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

He is a war criminal like all the other presidents

[-] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

It's kinda silly to call any complex political party "the good/bad guys". Compared to the current administration of the US Obama looks like a shining knight on a unicorn. Geopolitically they did some damage too though. Libya says hi. All in all it's just too complicated to break it down to good/bad.

Either way this is just some guy who's speculating about AGI and it sounds like the usual AI company ad headline about how scary good and important their technology is. Is it though? AGI by next year, bro, we swear. Just one more datacenter, bro. China is winning the race, bro, please. A few more trillions and we'll get there, bro.

The US is not complex, if actions are taken to preserve the empire over the wellbeing of all, they are bad people.

[-] bluelabel@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

There are only smart badguys and dumb badguys.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -2 points 6 days ago

US Obama looks like a shining knight on a unicorn.

Only because, unlike Donald, he didn't open his mouth about all the shitty things he was doing every hour of every day.

Obama was just as much of a motherfucker as Donald. He was just smart enough to make his pretty, generic speeches and otherwise keep his fucking mouth shut.

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 2 points 5 days ago

Obama was just as much of a motherfucker as Donald

Both sides?

From a comparative standing:

Trump is clearly worse. Also more incompetent. Our grandkids will be recovering from his impact on the working class.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

The only difference was presentation. That and, arguably Obama's corruption was worse considering his brain was actually functional.

As for 'both sides', might be a good time to ditch your thought-terminating cliches.

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub -1 points 4 days ago

The only difference was presentation.

Am I arguing with a high schooler?

[-] groucho@retrolemmy.com 1 points 3 days ago

Am I arguing with a high schooler?

Or a bot. "The only difference was presentation." is a gemini-assed thing to say.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

While Obama and Trump do have policy differences, their primary role is as facilitators of imperialism and maintenance of settler-colonialism. In that sense, that crucial, principal sense, both are deeply aligned, and as this is principal, it is the driving factor.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

Brilliant response.

Have a great day.

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago

Worst day on record this year actually.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 1 week ago

Evey admin committed horrible atrocities ti take other people's resources. They were all rotten.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

It's the successor that's funny the heavy lifting tbh. Seems very sane I'm comparison.

Also: 'good guts' is a very good typo
