On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and top AI leaders announced a signed pledge called a “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities” — a voluntary promise to implement more controls and safety measures as the rapid development of artificial intelligence continues. But there seems to be a catch.

    We… we are clearly in the stupidest universe, right? I don’t believe it can get stupider. (Though I said this before in 2016)

        Except the problems are worse and more numerous, and the President isn’t looking for an expert, plus he’s one of the bigger problems.

          Yeah, the problem in Idiocracy is that there was no one intelligent enough to listen to. In reality, there’s plenty of intelligence, but few in power listen to the ones trying to better the planet. Theyre all more concerned about accumulating power and the next election cycle. If it doesnt look good, no matter how many it might help, its not worth doing to them.

      There is one level of Backrooms where there’s a long rollercoaster that never seems to end and get more bizarre as you go. That’s what we’re on.

      As the Epstein emails proved, being rich and affluent doesn’t preclude someone from also being illiterate. We like to think these real-life supervillains are smart and sophisticated, like in fiction, because at least then the world makes some amount of sense - it’s plausible that a very intelligent person could amass that level of wealth. But the reality is that many of them have the written communication skills of a teenager using MSN Messenger circa 2004.
