Can you show us the exact document you received ? I very much doubt it happened the way you describe it, you're probably omitting very important details

I’d believe it. Apparently you can’t use any 3rd party service that might expose merely an IP address thru a network request directly from the client. A map widget would do that.

You can as long as you ask for consent.

In which case the detail OP ommited would be that they did not in fact ask for consent

Singapore has to be one of the worst places to live. I don't care how 'nice' their society might seem, their overstep is too steep by far. "Custom officers can subject travellers to a drug screening test at the point of entry to Singapore. If you test positive for drugs, you can be arrested and prosecuted, even if the drugs were consumed prior to your arrival in the country." That's insanity.

Singapore literally suppresses critical free speech

The impression one gets by being there is that it’s a plasticised city inhabited by consumer drones. They also cane people for misdemeanours. Oh, and the migrant workers (on which their whole economy relies) routinely work 18h/day.

Would you be OK with an AI government that caters to those objectives?

I think a more helpfully formulated question would be "why would I be OK with an AI government that caters to these objectives?"

the AI can prove that it catered to those objectives, isn't that the problem you stated?

Your point is GPT is way more dangerous? I guess I can be nonchalant about this topic. For me personally I cannot imagine something worse than either books or anything you can already access on the internet. To me it is not an assault rifle as you say, but I understand that's just an opinion.

Everyone are entitled to their own opinions of course, your argument has a name and a Wikipedia entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulity

I argued the degree of difference did not matter, because it was in the same ballpark as other types of already available materials.

That the difference didn’t matter is my opinion and that is just disagreement. Determining what ballpark something is in wrt damage is, in our context, subjective, no? I did not think what you argued (or what I thought you argued) was impossible or unimaginable. That is different from incredulity. Right? I don’t care either way, honestly curious. You may enlighten me if you wish.

It seems silly to be able to say to everyone that disagrees on an assumption you made that they are making an argument from incredulity.

The AI is unaccountable. If the leaders get good ideas from the AI, then cool, let them present them and take responsibility.

I don't care, but a few decades ago we signed some papers at the EU level that said we should stop doing them in the way we do them. I know it sucks, but the Dutch are fast at pointing out other countries' misbehaviour so it's IMO only fair that we comply with what we said we would do. Massive simplification, but I don't think it's a completely unfair characterisation.

> I don't care Well, It's easy to see why you get backlash when you tell people to change their way of life, get asked for a reason, and say you don't care.

I meant “I don’t want them to stop farming, personally”. It is not up to me. It’s not personal.

I have a unpopular opinion about this, but IMO it is the population that causes this. Vast swaths of Europe are rural especially in the south. Very, very averse to any kind of change. I'm in the Netherlands as you can tell and 'even' we are not that much more progressive. There is currently a massive farmer uprising and everybody is complaining literally non-stop about just about everything. Meanwhile nobody has even…

But don't they also export much of that agricultural output? Maybe the citizens do not eat it, but they sure are dependent on its exportation. Not like farmers can easily switch to something else.

True and it’s good money. Better money would be tech money.

Urban myth. Sweden is #44 according to Wikipedia.

accountability does not guarantee future improvement, while an AI can be continuously retrained
