Lol. I think it’s very dangerous to assume something this revolutionary has a 0% chance of being a net negative. I’m not saying AI can’t be good, but I’m saying it never hurts to have some skepticism. Also, remember, history doesn’t repeat, it echoes.

I honestly don’t understand why suggesting there is a >0% chance things could go wrong would make you so angry. Maybe you should ask ChatGPT to coach you on handling opinions that don’t match your own.

At least it won’t get angry at you for asking a question

How could you possibly know that achieving AI will change the world for the better? Change, I believe, but even people running the AI companies talk about how hard alignment is. There’s a chance it has a net positive effect on the world, but I guarantee you there is also a non-zero chance it has a net negative effect. If you have some way of predicting the future, maybe you should get into investing.

It’s been a year or so since I’ve gone down this rabbit hole, but what I remember, the more you block ads and tracker, the more unique your browser becomes, and the more fingerprintable it is.

Tor’s approach is to make every instance if the tor browser look as identical as possible to websites. But Tor is pretty niche. If Apple did the same with Safari, you would be an identical device in a match larger pool of devices.

I think Apple has taken some measures, but not as well as Tot has.

Btw it’s possible to fingerprint people with JavaScript disabled. I found this article explaining and demonstrating if you’re curious.
