Locking social norms at some predetermined stage is a great way to curb all progress.

Yeah, I suggest using Signal to communicate with friends....

I haven’t read the article. Are you being sarcastic? Or is it a more secure option?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's probably the most secure,. commonly available, messaging platform right now. They keep a bare minimum of metadata on their servers. Basically enough to link you on the platform. After that, everything is e2e encrypted and they can't tell authorities anything.

Other platforms are a sliding scale from to/from/time data, all the way up to full messages.

How many advances were considered against social norms…?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure it was, all of them.

But there was nothing wrong with the basic idea of the tech in Minority Report. It worked. They saved many lives by preventing imminent murders with it. The main problem in the movie was that they leapt straight from "your name came out of this machine" to "ten years cyber-purgatory. No trial."

Movies are designed to sell as many tickets as possible by presenting scenarios that provoke endorphins. They're not serious scenarios you should be making real-world decisions based off of.

Don't worry guys, I'm sure there's a very good reason for this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It appears there is. They are using it to determine an areas general feelings are towards a US military presence in an area (whether the local population feels they need help from the US or not) as a means of helping to determine best locations for setting up garrisons and bases or whatever during a conflict. Which makes sense as you don't want to choose an area that really doesn't want you there as they likely become an asset to the enemy and put your soldiers at risk.

If they used social media as training data it will say Everything is normal human behaviour...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They also used ChatGPT-3 to decide what's normal.

Sorry, as a large language model...

Wait until they train it on porn sites. The AI may decide seppuku is the only option.

Is that where they all stand in a circle and jizz on the girl's face?
