is there that much difference between 2015 and 2025 hardware? (like now people are saying moore’s law is dead and stuff)

what will most people do, who don’t have a google pixel?

pixels:

the virgin “agi existential risk”

• programmer LARP fantasy that makes coding the signle most important skill for saving humanity
• entirely based on thought experiments
• zero evidence
• assumes that there’s this vaguely defined concept known as “intelligence” that can be linearly increased as if it were as matehmatical quantity
• projects an anthropomorphic drive toward control and power onto algorithms that just do statistics to spit out words; colonialist self-report
• sponsored by billionares who want to make thrie tachnology seem more important than it is
• blackmails you from the future using faulty logic; doesn’t actally make any sense
• “oh no, i guess we have to build the Doom Machine now. i guess the course of technological progress is inevitable, oh well”

the chad global warming

• incomprehensibly complex and interconnected polycrisis
• reveals deep-rooted flaws with the dominant politico-economic paradigm; demands a fundamental shift of human value systems by its sheer physical existence
• verified by the entire scientific community
• billionares don’t want you to think about it because it is too scary
• resist ideological simplification
• will actually kill you
• doesn’t even need intelligence to threaten humanity’s survival
• divine retribution for fossil capital’s greed and wanton exploration of the natural world

they are also usable for cold drinks!

i will not buy glasses
