But nah, they’ll just shove AI into everything blow the equivalent of Wikipedia’s annual budget in a week on just electricity to shove unwanted AI slop into people’s faces.

You’re off my several order of magnitude unfortunately. Tech giants are spending the equivalent of the entire fucking Apollo program on various AI investments every year at this point.

They don’t “spend millions” against leftists lol. They just ignore them entirely with the understanding that you guys have the rhetorical skills of chimps throwing feces. Most people disagree with you. You can spin whatever conspiracy theories you want to cope with that, but that is reality.

I mean this thread is about tech that was perfect from it’s inception to the point where it didn’t or barely improved. Nothing could be further from the truth, transistor tech has had literally trillions of dollars and millions of smart people’s careers poured into it, and semiconductor IC manufacturing is now the most complicated single activity that our species does.

Those losers have won enough to have political relevance, which you do not. You are literally not relevant enough to even lose to the orange turd.

It’s more than that dude. Antifa is the perfect boogeyman for the right because it’s left wing, but also not an organization. Who is the leader of antifa? Where are they based? Who do you have to kill to eliminate antifa leadership? How does someone become a member of antifa? These questions have no answers because antifa is not an organization.

Those are also questions that the right wing media machine works hard to get their audience to never ask. That way, by demonizing antifa, they can use force against anyone because anyone they don’t like can be declared antifa, because no one can disprove their membership, because “antifa membership” literally isn’t a thing.

It’s carte blanche to do whatever they want.

It’s honestly just another symptom of Fox News brain rot. Their audience is trained not to ask any relevant questions. It was always going to end badly.

Books were among the first things to be pirated and are still among the easiest because the amount of data is so small. People we’re doing that on dial up Internet.

Just dig up an old laptop and setup the full *arr stack with jellyfin. Takes some work up front but after that it’s basically painless.

The limit is when people stop rewarding this behaviour by giving them money. So yeah no sign of hitting it.

Chinese government sanctioned groups can and will still access the broader internet.

They imagine themselves as the Titans from the Dune universe.

Is any of our current AI tech even making significant strides towards achieving this? I really don’t think the current crop or billionaires will live to see this being viable even if they live another 100 years.

You have to get increasingly creative to get grant funding in this environment.

The project is real, but it’s a mismanaged catastrophe.

It’s basically what happens when you have a project with overly understanding financiers, an overly ambitious creative head, and absolutely no concern whatsoever for avoiding scope creep.

Kind of amazing really. I can imagine in centuries past an architect becoming the personal favourite of a king so he just keeps making the palace he’s tasked to build more and more extravagant since the king keeps giving him more money endlessly.

I have a really old account from man years ago (probably payed $50ish for it). I want the same experience - just mostly vibing around in a ship.

Sometime during covid I had time on my hands so I installed it, logged back in. Tried to get into my ship and a glitched basically got me stuck in the door of the ship. Also couldn’t die. Just stuck there . Restarted the game and tried again. Got stuck in the same spot.

Closed the game and uninstalled. I’ll check back in a few more years lol.

As long as the luxury space communism is gay, I’m happy.

Gotham chess has a video of making chatgpt play chess against stockfish. Spoiler: chatgpt does not do well. It plays okay for a few moves but then the moment it gets in trouble it straight up cheats. Telling it to follow the rules of chess doesn’t help.

This sort of gets to the heart of LLM-based “AI”. That one example to me really shows that there’s no actual reasoning happening inside. It’s producing answers that statistically look like answers that might be given based on that input.

For some things it even works. But calling this intelligence is dubious at best.

Congrats guys you found a way to make a dating app with an even more skewed sex ratio.

Aren’t you a pedophile or am I thinking of someone else?

Probably, and I’ll denounce and blame them for this just the same. My moral compass is that copyright shouldn’t exist to begin with.

Cool but that issue is not in play here. That is not even close to a mainstream position and none of the actual players in this are working towards that outcome. Taking one side of this on that basis is silly.

You should tell these companies then, because after pirating all the copyrighted information they will absolutely push for IP protections for AI output.

“national security”. On Facebook. Okay guys. A better title would be "Zuck offered to completely legally sell their data (yes it’s their’s , read the ToS) to China in a completely legal bid to gain entry into China. It’s not even alleged that he broke any laws.

The real problem is that the US doesn’t have any digital data privacy laws, so ToSs for these services can contain whatever the host wants, and they can do whatever they want with the data. But that will never happen.
