This was provocative and intriguing so I looked into it and this is my understanding of some of the options (theoretically).

First, "interstellar" means between stars and the closes star is 4.2465 light years away (Proxima Centauri in Alpha Centauri star system) so I used that. c=speed of light

   - Chemical (Voyager), ~0.006% c: ~75,000 years
   - Nuclear pulse (Orion), ~3-10% c: ~40-130 years
   - Fusion (Daedalus), ~12% c, flyby: ~35 years
   - Laser sail (Starshot), ~20% c, flyby: ~21 years (gram-scale probes only)
   - Antimatter, ~20-30% c stopping: ~14-21 years; ~50% c flyby: ~8-9 years

Who is experimenting with this? It's people in these companies using you to get things done. It's not AI itself. In other words, it's just the normal workplace/employee relationship. What you've identified is AI assisted performance review. Which maybe sucks but certainly isn't AI using you.

You get very in touch with the product and design. The new demands being made of the system. The requirements, what "done" looks like, how to prove the system does what it's supposed to. Everything on either end of the implementation.

But there is a decision outside of AI directing this.

This is not to say you can ALWAYS have 100% accuracy from something non-deterministic. Just that non-determinism doesnt necessarily make something inaccurate.

ideas? hard to envision otherwise. i mean the input will be natural language right? so type, speak, or neuralink it in... but it's going to receive the text you think of, right?

Look at how effective this is though. You just have a computer pull the slot machine in a loop until you get what you want. And what you were unable to do as quickly, if at all. This describes the process for the math, crypto, security, etc. breakthroughs. They just try a ton of shit until they gain traction and meet the goal.

This also describes what a mathematician does, it's just over the course of years not hours.

People didnt get a new car after they got. Internet in 2001. They didnt get new dishwashers.

>There is just no ethical argument

Utilitarian harm reduction: Psychological Discharge is a psychological framework that argues safely simulating negative behaviors can help someone process or discharge them without real world harm.

Research and misunderstanding: Sending a prompt that is interpreted as cruel does not mean the person is being cruel.

Expending compute is irrelevant in terms of morality. It's an economic or environmental question. Either being cruel to AI is bad or its not - being cruel is not bad because it uses tokens.

The worst thing here is Anthropic continues to say they are concerned with "alignment" but then continue to train their models to ignore the user. Software typically does what the user requests. But we now live in an age where the software may do what the user requests or it may do something else, and we're suppose to laude this as safe and responsible.

Look at the data. Where is the disparity? I dont see it either. In fact the highest approval rate, 99.4% is from Tata.... a so called "Cursed" company.

>I think most of the opposition really wants is stability and a return to normality. Blowing shit up is diametrically opposed to that goal.

So there isnt terrorism because most opposition dont want to blow up data centers? You are identifying opposition as potential domestic terrorists. As opposed to saying there just arent these type of domestic terrorists. Which have nothing to do with normal opposition.

And then you seem to imply there may be reason to resort to domestic terrorism?!

>Maybe only once most people realize that normality isn't coming back will that change.

In the current climate I think the less project approvals you need to get the better
