As an Affluenza apologist, I am PRAYING that bourbskjemsksns or whatever it is (its bourgeoisies) is a sister song to Affluenza just because:
If Affluenza is about the upper class and Bourgeoises is about middle, how could they not be related! Also, I'm calling a lower class kinda track on CG5 😁

È già cominciata la campagna "I fascisti vincono per colpa degli astensionisti" (e non per colpa di 30 anni di voto al meno peggio che fa cose di destra per non lasciare le cose di destra alla destra, determinando uno sdoganamento delle logiche di destra nella società) o è ancora presto?

This is a very revealing moment for how the modern AI community is thinking:
The question now is whether passing the Turing test even matters anymore. “It’s totally unclear whether this is a meaningful milestone or not,” said Mustafa Suleyman, a founder of DeepMind, now a division of Google, and the founder of Inflection.Ai, a startup making personal AI assistants. “It doesn’t tell us anything about what the system can do or understand, anything about whether it has established complex inner monologues or can engage in planning over abstract time horizons, which is key to human intelligence.”
This is both fair criticism of the Turing Test, and nothing new. Turing himself didn't think his experiment was a good judge of intelligence, either. Where is Suleyman going with this?
Suleyman argues that there’s a misplaced focus in the tech industry on the distant possibility of achieving Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI: algorithms with cognitive abilities that match or exceed humans’. Instead, he said the more achievable and meaningful short-term goal is what he calls Artificial Capable Intelligence, or ACI: programs that can set goals and achieve complex tasks with minimal human intervention.
To measure whether a machine has [become an] ACI, he describes a “modern Turing test” — a new north star for researchers — in which you give an AI $100,000 and see if it can turn the seed investment into $1 million. To do so, the bot must research an e-commerce business opportunity, generate blueprints for a product, find a manufacturer on a site like Alibaba and then sell the item (complete with a written listing description) on Amazon or Walmart.com.
This major C-suiter in the field of AI just said that the best test of a being's intelligence is exploiting business opportunities.
Obviously the final goal for all of the present-day investment into AI is to generate a financial return. It's no surprise that businesses would salivate over AI that can independently come up with, market, and sell new products all on their own.
But think about what that intelligence test says about the mindset of the big-wigs in AI right now! If the true test of human-like intelligence is being able to turn a 10x profit, what does that say about humans who don't (or can't) make tons of money? If your parents came to you one day and said: "we honestly think you're sub-human because you don't make enough money for how much money went into raising you", that would be prestige-drama-villain behavior.
Rich people think that they are smarter and better than everyone else. It's no surprise that, on a philosophical level, investment-capitalist tech bros will idolize (and seek to re-create) technological investment-capitalism.
I have my own thought experiment: I wonder how many of these Fintech C-suiters has rich parents that gave them huge loans or high-paying jobs right out of school, and I wonder how that affected them later in life...

Re: the submarine stuff, I admittedly have looked too deeply into it but it reminds me of when that one missionary dude got killed on sight by an uncontacted tribe or that one dude who lived among the bears got mauled to death by bears. On the one hand, it's such an awful way to die and attributable to a certain amount of youthful stupidity that the situation is indeed senseless and tragic.
On the other hand, the amount of red flags that had to be ignored to get there combined with the fact that the victims of the scenario only got there by having such insulating wealth and privilege that they could do whatever the fuck they want (hence ignoring the red flags) makes it hard to muster deeper emotions about it.
