That probably has more to do with it than anything else. Killing a healthcare CEO is really the type of action that can bring people together, as crazy as that sounds.

The film opened May 25, 1977, and Guinness’ stunned response to its reception was captured in his diary. On May 27: “Splendid news of reaction to Star Wars continues to come in.” On June 3: “Am pinning my hopes on Star Wars percentage which could bring me £100,000 or more if it does Jaws business, as predicted.”

The film exceeded Jaws‘ business, grossing over $300 million in its initial release — earning Guinness more than $7 million immediately ($33 million today) and an estimated $95 million by the time of his death in 2000 at 86. Despite that unheard-of salary for what amounted to 20 minutes of screen time, Guinness was reluctant to come back for a sequel.

Over lunch at Morton’s in 1979, Lucas asked him if he would consider returning for “a couple of days” of work on Star Wars II — later known as The Empire Strikes Back. One week later, Guinness wrote in his diary, “I said yes to a day’s work on Star Wars II … It’s dull rubbishy stuff but, seeing what I owe to George Lucas, I finally hadn’t had the heart to refuse.”

I have a feeling it’s easier to put your music out there as an independant artists. There’s always someone taking a cut but the contacts are optional and there isn’t much gate keeping like before.

I remember that time and it was kind of awful. It was brutal in terms of packaging, and lugging around all those cds sucked. It was way more expensive and the money still all went to record companies, not to mention how terrible it felt to pay full price for a mostly garbage cd just for one song (singles existed though but not for everything).

Records companies also had final say on who we listened too and completely controlled the whole scene essentially.

I get the nostalgia but it was 100% worse both for artists and consumers. Well it has always been rough for artists tbh, I don’t know if it’s harder right now or not.

It’s also, in the end, a type of video game. You can’t “date” an npc. I really dislike the use of the word.

So the images probably aren’t ai and don’t come from anywhere else on the net. AI would also refer to salt as salt, I’m guessing the user just works in a science related field (he also sometimes calls water h2o)

I think the fermentation might work because the yeast to flour ratio is lower? I’m no expert though.

There also seems to be a user who made one of his recipes but they did change the fermentation time.

Edit: So it seems the user was you. I think you also downloaded the wrong book, evolution of bread does not seem to be a sour dough book.

Your comment that got you banned was 100% anti-vax and deserved sadly. Just giving my 2 cents.

I can only comment on the behavior I see. This is an online forum, I don’t have a choice but to assume.

Regardless, most are very vocal about AI being theft, a line of thinking that directly benefits the copyright lobby and big AI. Big AI doesn’t mind paying for the data if it gives them a monopoly.

The moment a chatbot does something mildly worrisome, like help draft a suicide letter, the conversation is filled with people calling for censorship, protection and regulation. Again, something that would directly benefit big AI.

I’m also assuming they are against both the copyright industry and AI in general, just that most people seem to say things that help the copyright lobby and big AI without knowing it.

What you’re doing is falling for propaganda from a long ass time ago by the owner class…

Or using the actual current definition of the word. It’s like going on a rant about hunters when you get called a nimrod.

I’m also going to push back on pretending the current anti-ai movement is against capitalism when it’s pro copyright. Their support is what big AI companies are using to create their monopoly.

This centuries luddites aren’t tearing down machinery but helping build a walled garden.

You can’t defend your position because it’s emotional exaggeration. Now you’re lashing out and being insulting.

My whole point is that they aren’t the same and you keep saying “let’s treat them as if they were”, then you use it in comparisons and act like a child when I point out how silly that is.

Clarify what you mean. Take the gun out of the conversation and stop bringing it up. Stop being disingenuous. Don’t be a baby.

I put them both in the category of things that need regulation in a way that rope does not

My whole point since the beginning is that this is dumb, hence my comment when you essentially said shooting projectiles and saying bad things were the same. Call me when someone shoots up a school with AI. Guns and AI are clearly not in the same category.

And yes, I think people should be able to talk to their chatbot about their issues and problems. It’s not a good idea to treat it as a therapist but it’s a free country. The only solution would be massive censorship and banning local open source AI, when it’s very censored already (hence the need for jailbreak to have it say anything sexual, violent or on the subject of suicide).

Think for a second about what you are asking and what it implies.

I’ve seen maybe 4 articles like this vs the hundreds of millions that use it everyday. I think the ratio of suicide vs legitimate use of rope is higher actually. And no, being told bad things by a jailbroken chatbot is not the same as being shot.

The difference is that guns were built to hurt and kill things. That is literally the only thing they are good for.

AI has thousands of different uses (cue the idiots telling me its useless). Comparing them to guns is basically rhetoric.

Do you want to ban rope because you can hang yourself with it? If someone uses a hammer to kill, are you going to throw red paint at hammer defenders? Maybe we should ban discord or even lemmy, I imagine quite a few people get encouraged to kill themselves on communication platforms. A real solution would be to ban the word “suicide” from the internet. This all sounds silly but it’s the same energy as your statement.

I should have specified it was an earlier llama model. They have scaled up to more then a flight or two. You are mostly right except for how much a house uses. It’s about 10,500 kW per year, you’re off by a thousand. It uses in an hour about 8 hours of house time, which is still a lot though, specially when you consider musks 1 million gpus.

Their first model took 2 600 000 kwh, a plane takes about 500 000. The actual napkin math was 5 flights. I had done the math like 2 years ago but yeah, I was mistaken and should have at least specified it was for their first model. Their more recent ones have been a lot more energy intensive I think.

I personally don’t think any of these big companies should be privately owned. Rare win for the pedo admin. Maybe we can get 10% of the epstein files next.

I did some quick math with metas llama model and the training cost was about a flight to Europe worth of energy, not a lot when you take in the amount of people that use it compared to the flight.

Whatever you’re imagining as the impact, it’s probably a lot less. AI is much closer to video games then things that are actually a problem for the environment like cars, planes, deep sea fishing, mining, etc. The impact is virtually zero if we had a proper grid based on renewable.

I pronounce the j as an r and no one can stop me.

So in 2042, if you had the premium battle pass, you could set up one persistent server. It was hosted by them but didn’t disappear without players. I don’t know how it will work for bf6.

I think the most important feature is that we have persistent lobbies that don’t disband after a game like matchmaking. That they “stay online” while nobody uses it is really not the important part imo.

Still, DICE insists the Portal browser will satisfy. It does have some qualities that simulate a classic server experience, like how you can earn full XP in Portal matches as long as the house rules closely resemble the vanilla ones.

From the article.

we should be able to do what we want with it, including running those max player/max ticket servers that run 24/7 on one map.

You can do this because the game let’s you host a server (your rules or official ones) and includes a server browser so random people can find it and join your game.

We should be able to do it without DICE/EA’s permission

You can’t do this because although there is a server browser, you can’t run private servers disconnected from eas infrastructure.

I am correcting OP because most of what he said in his post and what people are repeating in the comments implies that there is only matchmaking and implies that the first part isn’t possible.

What isn’t real about the browser we are getting?
