There was a joke that AI is any job that computer has not yet mastered.
So far it seems that AI are competent AI junior researchers. Explosive increase in capabilities is totally plausible.
Whether we call something that could do any task human does at the same level and cheaper RSI is matter of semantics. Anthropic will control the value created by the economy.

The companies you mentioned also have other business that is actually profitable
Do they? I haven't searched google in days. Usually it is - chatgpt do this for me.

You are making couple of assumptions here. That Von Neumann probes are possible and easy. That may not be the case. A higher concentration of dust and rocks in the interstellar medium may turn the shielding requirements totally impractical. And that generational ships at c/1000 just accumulate too much damage during the journey.

Why should we agree on the exact opposite of what I just said? We may have 1000 human level civilization in 10k ly radius and not many ways to detect them.

Distance. Distance is the great filter. Both K2 and K3 civilizations require new physics. And there is scant reason to believe that there exist one. if we are stuck with the absurdly low speed of causality of 300000km/s the universe may be full to the gills with life and we won't be able to detect it.

Do you think that we will see unofficial GTA6 port before the official PC release?
I vote for yes if they manage to hack the firmware of PC5 the game will launch with. I am sure that just couple of thousand of DS agents will be enough to do it if they manage to get the pkg.

No it is not. Now that we have moved our best daffy and bugs impression out of the way
Not only piracy is not stealing, but actually downloading for personal use is fairly legal (uploading is not), and on top of that because of the way cracks work it could be classified as fair use - it is security research after all.

Browser exploits. Get RCE, break sandbox, patch kernel. But the dearth of exclusives worth playing on the PS5 means that this was the first generation of the console not worth jailbreaking.

One does not need to earn "don't steal stuff".
Piracy is not stealing.

I think it’s vulgar to pirate games (I assume you’re not ripping it from the cart). Call it a matter of honor. If one must do it, it is best not to mention it.
Why? With what the game industry as a whole has earned such a respect? AAA, microtransactions, wokeness (even worse than wokeness - cringe wokeness), bugs, abusive drm, overbearing licenses, consistently terrible writing, hostility and contempt towards their own audience and customers ... the list goes on. Even before gamersgate the industry was busy destroying the goodwill earned in the golden age of 1995-2006

That's not how it works. Obama got lots of flak for staying in Afghanistan and Biden for leaving it. Last person who touched it is to blame. This is not only in IT.

Is it still a military success if Congress defunds the war Vietnam style?
This will be the greatest gift the Democrats can give the Republicans. Giving them a way out of it while owning all the nasty second order effects from stopping the war with not defanged Iran is a blessing some of them pray for.
I won't say it is 5D chess (mostly because it is advanced stupid), but some of the messes Trump has created put Dems into unenviable position because cleanup requires more effort and capital than shitting on something. And they have mandate and power.
Don't regulate AI and bubble pops - you had mandate to regulate it, and you piss off your base.
Regulate AI and bubble pops - you caused recession.
Regulate AI and China wins - congrats USA lost the tech race of 21st century.
Defund Iran war - congrats - you own nuclear armed Iran and their ability to extort the global economy.
Prolong Iran war - the democrats base will be pissed off beyond everything possible (although I will find amusing the mental gymnastics their die hard partisans will make to justify it).
The cost of living will keep rising. AI will cause unemployment, stopping AI will cause unemployment.

TVs are dirt cheap, the economy is chugging just fine (as are most physical products, at least the ones without ram). Not only that, but this is the root of rising standards of living.

So our only hope is ASI to emerge in under Elon's control. In that case there will be some cause for optimism for the west's fate.

Since Trump managed to piss huge cultural advantage, why do you think democrats won't do the same? 2028 are far from over.

which will start a constitutional crisis whereby judges will only be confirmed when the same party controls both the Presidency and Senate.
That is called disfunction, not constitutional crisis. Maybe more harmful in the long run but perfectly constitutional.
I am not even sure what constitutional crisis could look in the USA. Almost everything is constitutional if you control 2 branches of the government. So the only possible constitutional one that doesn't involve the states and their rights is if we have standoff between scotus and congress on one side and executive on the other.

According to some scholars they started with Bork. To protect the holy cow of abortion.

My amazing story with AI today. My order of the sinking star savegame was corrupted after opening my steam copy save with the pirated one which was on lower version. There was no backup and there was severe data loss. So I just described what kind of state the world was in and to try and rebuild it when recovery was impossible - and the bastard (sol 6.1 low) one shotted it.
We are in uncharted territory, and I just can't predict the way the dice will roll. So in which direction did your P(doom) moved this week?

You are right. corrected.
Ok. Poland is the one refusing to share the load with the problematic refugees - the ones usually born east of America, west of Thailand and south of Istanbul.

The books are mostly portraits of neuroticism. "Neurotic about not being attractive because they are Asian. Neurotic about only being attractive because they are Asian. Neurotic about being too Asian. Neurotic about not being Asian enough. Neurotic about taking after their mothers. Neurotic about not living up to their mother’s expectations. Three of the books feature visits to therapists."
You are not describing Asian women, you are describing modern women in general. Just replace asian with something else and this template will fit almost any single or middle and above class woman in a big city.

Reading the article I am overjoyed to learn that St. Petersburg is not a slavic city.
Personally I think it will be lukewarm. I don't think there is that much capital with AI exposure appetite left - there are rumors that OpenAI had issues with funding. The midterms and the potential crunch in compute also don't make the fundamentals alluring.
