Genetics plays a relatively small part when it comes to intelligence, and even if you have 2 parents as thick as planks, that can be overcome. Even if it that weren’t the case, this line of thinking leads to some very dark eugenicy roads. Not saying this is what you’re suggesting of course, I’m just pointing out that from a societal POV, we can’t afford to just call it natural selection and move on. Not least of all because it’s the completely innocent children that are the ones to suffer the consequences. Also, IMO, it’s not an intelligence thing. It’s a misinformation thing. (insert garfield propaganda meme here) It’s yet another symptom of a much wider movement in the world to discredit science and muddy the waters, deliberately trying to keep people scared and isolated.

I’m just waiting for the “farewell” myself

Ye, I’m finding that with Google. You don’t realize how tightly locked in you are until you try to leave.

A counterpoint though, is that putting 12 eggs into different baskets means having to manage 12 baskets. It’s a trade off

I’m slowly trying to degoogle. Mail is a big concern for me. I have a google business account to handle a few domains. I used a small shared host before and it was crap. Every couple months they’d make some change and all my shit broke. I switched to Google because I knew it would be reliable and largely set and forget. It’s been that. I hate Google though. So if not proton, then who?

Ah, my stack overflow profile pic lol

I feeleth elderly for I was’t present thusly

Ye, I’d struggle to believe ONE key getting generated like that, but 8 points to pure incompetence

The thing that gets me isn’t even the fact that they’re worried about the AI. It’s that they think the creator is sadistic for having the idea in the first place, and should be monitored. Like there’s any sadistic pleasure to be had out of moving a slider and watching it produce less and less coherent text. It’s only sadistic if you anthropomorphise the AI.

STOP ANTHROPOMORPHISING THE FANCY WORD PROCESSOR!
