    I envy you if you're reading them for the first time, I've read the whole thing twice and it's stunning sci-fi. I'll mostl likely re-ead them all again.

    They are all sold out here I was lucky to find a collection online and don’t have to wait 3 weeks for a restock.

    "OpenAI and Microsoft are reportedly collaborating on an ambitious project to build a supercomputer named "Stargate," with an estimated cost of up to $100 billion. This initiative is part of a broader five-phase plan, with Stargate representing the fifth phase, expected to launch as early as 2028"

    this should solve a bunch of problems and create none if it's going to cost $100 billion

    AI Art

    beeple was lucky to build hype in a time where it was not possible to create very similar art with 2 clicks. Its fascinating how much his current Instagram now looks like generic ai art. maybe its because it mostly looks like random assets thrown on a pile until you get some kind of banksyesque level of pop culture critique that everyone can relate to but nobody is really offended by. 

    this really made me go down a rabbit hole. looks like he is also racist now?

    When it comes to responsibility, I'd normally expect these technologies to be part of the care people receive when being treated by some care organisation. As is currently the case. And the responsibility will likewise be similar to what is currently the case. Or in other words, these technologies should be brought to clients/patients similar to other technologies which are currently being brought to clients/patients within the healthcare system. Like a prescription by a certified doctor.

    I agree to an extent but in this example the patient is explicitly asking if its ok to take some medications that could cause her an allergic reaction. so its acting like some kind of doctor. Will the same AI answer if the patient lies on the floor with an allergic shock asking questions to see if the condition is serious enough to justify the costs of a real doctor :cisfor:

    who is even responsible if the AI is suggesting you something incorrect and you get seriously ill from over / under dosing the medication. 

    This is 10 times worth than outsourcing it to a nearshore telemarketing agency. It basically says your health is so worthless to us that we do not even care to have a human talk to you over the phone. this soulless avatar trained on 2 PDFs is all you get.

    ALIEN / PROMETHEUS / COVENANT - SPOILERS INBOUND!!

    A rival set of Engineers, different to the space Jesus ones from Prometheus, created Red Matter and the Romulans. 

    Now the Alien and Borg Queen have joined forces to create Alien-Borg Drone hybrids. In space resistance is futile

    In the vast, cold expanse of space, where the stars are the only witnesses to the eternal struggle for supremacy, the creation of Red Matter by a rival set of engineers marked a new era in cosmic engineering. Unlike the divine aspirations of the so-called space Jesus engineers from Prometheus, these engineers harbored no illusions of benevolence. Their ambition was clear and unclouded by morality: to harness the very fabric of the universe to their will. And in their quest for dominance, they gave rise to the Romulans, a race as cunning as they were ruthless, masters of subterfuge and manipulation.

    But the universe, in its infinite complexity, had already set the stage for a far more terrifying alliance. The Alien and the Borg Queen, two of the most fearsome entities to ever scourge the galaxy, had seen the potential in combining their strengths. The Alien, with its unparalleled adaptability and ferocity, and the Borg Queen, with her cold, calculating intelligence and technological supremacy, were on the verge of creating something unimaginable: Alien-Borg Drone hybrids.

    These hybrids were the epitome of perfection in the art of war. With the Alien's biological adaptability and the Borg's technological enhancements, they were virtually unstoppable. Their hive mind allowed for flawless coordination, making their attacks devastatingly efficient. Their bodies, a grotesque fusion of organic and mechanical, were capable of self-repair and could adapt to any environment, making them equally formidable in the vacuum of space as on the surface of a planet.

    The creation of these hybrids signaled a new age of darkness for the galaxy. Entire civilizations fell in their wake, unable to mount a defense against an enemy that could assimilate and adapt to any strategy thrown against them. Resistance, as the Borg Queen so eloquently put it, was futile.

    Yet, in the face of this seemingly insurmountable threat, a spark of hope emerged. A coalition of the galaxy's most brilliant minds, including those who had once believed in the sanctity of creation as envisaged by the space Jesus engineers, began to gather. Realizing that their differences paled in comparison to the threat at hand, they united their knowledge and resources in a desperate attempt to find a weakness in the Alien-Borg hybrids.

    Their efforts led them to the very heart of the galaxy, where ancient civilizations had once harnessed the power of black holes. Here, hidden in the remnants of these long-gone societies, they discovered the existence of a substance even more potent than Red Matter: the White Singularity. Unlike Red Matter, which could create or manipulate black holes, the White Singularity had the potential to unravel the very fabric of the Borg's technological enhancements, rendering them susceptible to attack.

    As the coalition worked feverishly to weaponize the White Singularity, they knew that the fate of the galaxy hung in the balance. The final confrontation, when it came, would be fought not just with weapons, but with the very principles that defined them: the belief in the sanctity of life, the value of diversity, and the indomitable spirit of resistance.

    In the cold, merciless expanse of space, where the struggle for survival knows no bounds, the ultimate battle between creation and destruction, between unity and assimilation, was about to begin.
