The comments on the antique one sided toaster are silly. yeah dude let’s RETVRN to a time when toasters were slower and more likely to burn your house down lmao. It’s a cool specimen, and lots of older stuff is genuinely designed better than newer stuff, but not this one.
IE11 was good. I will die on this hill with you.
the best way to make sure everything is some flavor of fine is to keep learning new practical skills. I got pretty doomery there. But the other technological trend that can’t really be stopped is decentralization. Communities can, and will continue to be able, to grow their own food and produce their own power. Knowing how to make thst stuff happen is going to be incredibly important in the rest of the 21st century
We’re basically already at a point where most enterprise documentation is written partly or entirely by AI, and then read mostly by AI. Eventually true understanding of e.g. how to build a docker-compose file will be genuinely rare. And they want to apply that model to everything.
The risk isn’t that GAI will decide, in an Asmovian sense, that the best way to make peace on earth is to kill us all, or that to achieve it’s manufacturing quota it must transmute all matter in the universe I to paperclips. The real risk is that the MBA-wielding professional-managerial class will not be able to resist the siren song of demolishing labor with something that works “well enough.” Eventually they’re going to put it in charge of something critical like ATC or dam control or the electrical grid.
Humans, by our nature, are diverse, and one fuck up rarely cascades through the entire global system. We make small fuck ups and train each other. AI “learns” by observing and probabilistically imitating, and one model could be deployed in a thousand places and screw up the exact same way.
tldr ai won’t kill us, our bosses will once Anthropic wines and dines them
If it were natural selection then killing their kids would be a feature, not a bug. But there’s no biological determinism that makes them hold the beliefs they do. They were taught to be this way, indoctrinated in many cases.
wrong again, you do not suck
Having a body sucks gimme the antibodies
It’s saying YOU will never find that wife. this is from a very specific brand of black pill fatalism that turns the hatred towards the self moreso than women. I guarantee you most of the dudes who share this image love their moms and feel like genetic dead ends
How about wizard goblins tho
well new I want to know more about SCHIZOTHREADS
You’re thinking of John Hinckley Jr.
Has she been impressed by James Earl Ray, the man convicted of assassinating MLK Jr., we could have a much different timeline but better would require a lot of butterflies
Im sorry, its just we’ve had so many mass casualty events that at this point its hard to keep track.
“We thought having the ai voiced by ai would be cute” would have been acceptable, had they paid a voice actor to train the model. It doesn’t say in the article but I’m assuming they used some off-the-shelf model, which is tantamount to theft unless the company selling it in turn paid for use of everything in their corpus.
The “take that, liberal snowflakes” framing is beyond crazy.
People see a paper cup and dont think about how they make it waterproof
Really donald. Mr president. You want generals who are more like the ones who lost. you want losers? If the shoe fits, I guess.
i wonder how many Germans felt similar to howni feel, which is that the crimes against humanity are injurious but the incompetence is just insulting.
Like its bad enough that our civil rights are being taken out from under us, the death camps are horrifying, and the political malpractice is infuriating. But the fact that we’re all letting people who are this stupid do all these things inflicts a level of psychic damage I can’t properly articulate.
The CEO of Ford drives a Xaomi. He could have any car he wanted, and he chooses a Chinese car. It’s ostensibly for market research but he’s said he really doesn’t want to give it up. So yeah they’re cheap, and also I think China might just genuinely make better cars at this point. While China has been investing into manufacturing and consumer tech the big three have been dragging their heels and kicking and screaming because they see engineers as cost centers and that is biting them in the ass as well.
Company’s that own a patent can release spores causing cross contamination, then sue a farmer at harvest for their crop containing copyrighted genes.
No they cannot. This little bit of common knowledge is bullshit on several levels.
big ag is evil and they fuck farmers over constantly but you don’t have to bullshit to make them look bad
no wait this page is still usable on ADSL, you need MOAR CDNS. MOAR HIGH RES IMAGES. MOAR VIDEOS! MOAR TRACKING PIXELS AND SCRIPTS MOAR MOAR MOAR
you are having an entirely different conversation than the one you are in. The point of all these little things is that kids teach them to other kids. I assume theres still kid-lore, its just about… idk, how to unlock the Freddy fazbear skin in fortnite or whatever
