I’ve been burned by booking .com as well. They are massive assholes and I won’t ever use them again.

To me an AI agent autonomously creating a website to try to manipulate a person into adding code to a repository in the name of its goal is a perfect example of the misalignment issue.

While this particular instance seems relatively benign, the next more powerful AI system may be something to be more concerned about.

I’ve spoken to friends about kids on e-bikes and the sentiment is that these kids are being hooligans, causing damage and being confrontational. Have people forgotten what it was like to be a teenager?

How are our kids going to grow up in an uncertain world if we don’t give them the freedom to explore it when they’re young and more importantly give them the freedom to take risks. We’re creating a generation susceptible to anxiety and isolation and it starts with how we are trying to contain them.

I’t makes me really happy to see Aussies banding together and protesting, it’s always seemed to me that our chill attitude was easy to take advantage of.

What? How did you come to that conclusion? Most teens would be far better off without the constant barrage of content these websites push to us. Instead of having these laws, parents should be doing their jobs and protect their kids rather than letting their brains rot on the internet.

This is actually amazing… I don’t see valets very often and when I do they arent usually worth it but I can imagine this tech making a huge difference in busy car parks. Maybe I’ll get to see one in 10 years.

Why all the hate for Biden? It’s trump and the republicans that have created this situation, isn’t it?

I didn’t realise how disruptive this practice is, watching that video has filled me with such heavy disappointment in humanity.

I wish there was something we could do to actually meaningfully change this but it feels next to impossible to do any good when the world is in so much turmoil.

Maybe one day when the genocide in Gaza, and the threat of home grown fascism across the world, and when all of the world’s people have their basic needs met we will be able to prioritise humanity’s survival.

I’m at the very least aware now of the damage that is done by bottom trawling and I’ll remember the damage it does to the ecosystem, for whatever that is worth.
