Fyi, this is not the place to either show random ai meme images somebody made (unless they are related to how crazy the ai people/Rationalists are for believing in the tech) nor the place go 'they are gay for each other'[implied it being bad].

Eh. I'm gay and I say go for it, depict then as a couple. It only bothers people who think it's bad.

reasonable point, but still leaves the ethical parts of it (e.g. it gives more ammo to the kinds of creeps who make non-consensual imagery)

I don't really mind either in general, but the look of this sort of picture with semi-idealised homunculi of Trump and Musk just bothers me on a gut level. Most probably because of the hordes of twitter scam bots posting this kind of stuff.

Who choses the pictures? That one is hilarious.

Trump revoked the order as part of revoking a long list of Biden executive orders. The reason? “To effectuate the revocations described in section 2 of this order, the heads of each agency shall take immediate steps to end Federal implementation of unlawful and radical DEI ideology.” Uh, okay.

We are going to see exactly far they can take this “radical DEI ideology” boogeyman. Maybe they’ll go to nuclear war over it.

I'm sure this can go wrong in no way. What with the government contracts. We are one bad skip away from killer bots, and the truth is they are already here, just not widespread.
