  • It does make some menial tasks simpler, but if people think it will actually replace us then they’re in for a shock.

    That’s the sales pitch, we’re in a job market drought right now. Give it a year or two and all the slop will begin breaking, making a new job market boom for developers



  • A human brain model would never get us to a super computer, which is their intended goal.

    Our brains have about one exaflop of processing. The NVidia B300 has 15 petaflops of processing. Corresponding to 0.015 exa, you’d need 66 of the strongest GPUs on the market to match the processing power of one human brain.

    That’s before considering context, current estimations would put the human brain at 2.5 petabytes of storage. The former B300 has 288 gigabytes of VRAM. Corresponding to 0.000288 of one human brain, the earlier expectation of 66 landing flat at 0.019 the storage of a human brain.

    Can arguments be made not all brain capacity is at VRAM at all times? Most likely. But context windows is the primary bottleneck, not compute

    Our brains are absolute monsters, we’d gain more from understanding how we can have this powerful of a machine on so little space. The bigger breakthrough would be brainbased processing of software, but I’ve not heard of anyone going that route - Probably because it’s not feasible





  • We’re all following the same pattern, the wealth distribution got completely fucked during covid and it hasn’t slowed down ever since. We’re just 5-10 years after you, but I’m scared of the direction especially the UK have made and no proper parties seems to be willing to dismantle the elites yet.

    Capitalism will always make wealth trickle upwards, unless you either tax wealth harder than yields or taxes death to oblivion. Personally I’m in favour of 100% inheritance tax after the first 400 thousand euroes, as that’s the most feasible way to transition into a liberal merit based society rather than a nepotistic society based upon how wealthy your parents are which is dominating everywhere today - Including my beloved Denmark.


  • The problem is the DNC is stacked against the people and have largely become a controlled opposition.

    Both parties represent Silicon Valley billionaires, albeit the Republican ones are murkier. Neither party is clean.

    If y’all want to be taken serious, you need a new legitimately social democratic party. Social democratic reforms, such as paid healthcare, schooling and more paid weeks off a year are widely supported among the American voters, yep they’re even favourable among Republican voters.

    But no one offers them anything but whatever their favourite billionaire asks of them








  • Yep, xenophobia went up globally following the financial crisis of '08.

    Sure America was the big trigger, but no country did anything to guard themselves from the risk ongoing at the time - And in Europe mena immigrants was the bogeyman written about in the media…






  • There’s an overweight of outcasts in gaming spaces, which is why queer people are incredibly overrepresented. Both among developers, players and in games themselves

    But for the same reasons, you’ll find gaming related echo chambers that funnel people into hate filled ideology such as incel culture. A different kind of outcasts.

    Sure gaming have become quite mainstream and you can find almost any sub group who games. But most “normies” games less than the outcasts, as they don’t need the escapism it allows for.

    Within the more “normal people” group, there’s also variations. Some allow for hatred to exist within the communities they act within, some don’t, some allow for queer safe spaces others turn around the second they see it.

    It’s a nuanced topic, which could turn into paragraph after paragraph. But outcasts are overrepresented within gaming. Especially rural outcasts, as they aren’t able to find a physical group to mirror themselves in
