  • After reading the actual published science paper referenced in the article, I would downvote the article because the title is clickbaity and does not reflect the conclusions of the paper. The title suggests that AI could replace pathologists, or that pathologists are inept. This is not the case. Better title would be “Pathologists use AI to determine if biopsied tissue samples contain markers for cancerous tissue that is outside the biopsied region.”









  • I was reading recently about how Nvidia gpu familes (i.e. the RTX 40xx series) all use the same architecture, but are separated by the number of defects on the board (as all nanofab-made electronics have a certain amount of defects). They are placed into different ‘bins’ that have certain ranges of defective components, but the functionality as a gpu is still fine. I imagine that other companies do this too, and with other electronics besides gpus. Also as mentioned in another comment, ‘2nm’ is a marketing term and does not indicate the actual size of the transistors. My point being: this may not result in larger supply of currently available electronics that use different architectures (4nm, 5nm process, etc). It is more likely to be a move to prepare facilities for next-gen electronics. I don’t know about specific companies intentions to move to ‘2nm’ processes for their products or how easy that actually is, though, so it would be a case by case check.


  • “I see AI as a positive because it undermines the monopoly on intellectual property of capitalists”

    I would contest that it does the exact opposite. Massive companies have been given free reign to legally steal (see Meta’s plagiarism/piracy court docs) from the entire internet. They then roll out the ai model, that they own, which can recreate things (art, writing, technical docs, etc) that are amalgamations of all the stolen work. They then sell subscriptions for people to use their ai, funneling people away from paying real artists.
