  • Expecting a LLM to become conscious, is like expecting a painting to become alive

  • If you haven't watched it yet you'd probably enjoy Westworld - it plays a lot with that space and approaches some very interesting philosophy when it comes to human consciousness and what it means to even be a person.

  • I'll not down vote you but I will give you the rhetoric.

    You could argue we are just constantly hallucinating but that's circular logic because we know that we all have a shared perceived reality and that people are capable of hallucinating. That is, we define the word hallucinate by its relation to what we would all colloquially refer to as reality.

    If you argue that all you do is hallucinate then the word loses all meaning. For example, I may see things that are not actually there and also see things that do exist, how would one draw a distinction if "all our brain is doing is hallucinating?"

    I think it's a fun thought experiment, you know, akin to the shadows on the wall in Plato's allegory of the cave, but ultimately you'd be driven to madness if truly there was no way to tell what was real.

  • See I like the aliens come help part and not the nuclear annihilation, mostly because that's gonna be real bad for whoever survives.

    The aliens could come and grant us a post scarcity economy with replicators or something like that. I mean, we may in the next 40 years see a real paradigm shift of how we organize our society because having like 20%+ unemployment caused by automation and shifting priorities is simply not sustainable for any country. Not sure if that's what will end up happening, AI is not a magic panacea that it's pandered as by tech bros, but I do think there's a strong potential for it to replace a lot of the bullshit jobs that we have that kind of just exist because of the bureaucracy of corporate America and compliance regulations and such.

    Anyways, I also doubt aliens would even visit here. We're so violent as a species and have lots of things that go boom, there's probably way better planets to visit than Earth in our galaxy. I know I'd stick a quarantine zone around our solar system and go on with life if I were an alien overlord.

  • Posadism is fucking wild.

    Just skimming the surface of it and I'm all what the actual fuck over here. Would be cool if aliens actually did drop in and help us all out. I suspect we're just going to keep the capitalist machine churning while the world suffers and we undergo some radical changes in climate and weather as the wealth gap keeps increasing.

    I mean shit my job pays me decent and I do stuff that I low-key think shouldn't even be a job, I just have to keep on the wage slave train to get what I want for my minimum standard of living and it isn't even plush.

    I guess what I'm saying is it's a fucking scam and I hope the aliens come soon.

  • Trump’s greatest crime is practically invisible — Estimates show that the dismantling of USAID has killed at least 600,000 to date. It could get much worse

    Jump

  • the major difference is China hasn't bombed anyone or established overseas military bases... yet. Anything can happen in the future.

    It's worth noting that is changing. They have two overseas military installations now and a lot of their commercial ports are set up for dual use so they could use them for wartime navy if needed.

    But I do still think China is much more interested in economic soft power vs the USA who's power projection is oftentimes "help us or we're just gonna take what we want with force."

    Obviously that's a huge oversimplification of a very complex topic just thought it was worth mentioning China has some overseas military force projection capabilities but they're very limited.

    I mean, the USA can basically move the equivalent of most nations military to anywhere on the planet in less than a week. It's pretty crazy. But I think we are going to see some serious shake ups in the navy with new tech, carriers are great but it takes a lot to support them and some hypersonic missile batteries could probably make it through current defense systems. I'm not sure we'll ever see a large scale naval battle on the open seas ever again but if that day does come it's going to be real interesting except for, you know, all the deaths.

  • Protestation

    Jump

  • Fair, I was surprised it read the Cyrillic so well given the compression of the original image. I thought about just using a Russian to English dictionary and looking the words up but I was like meh Google translate is fine and it looked right given the context of the comic.

    Jump

  • Assuming the Google translate is right:

  • I hope so :D

  • Hmm everyone in here seeing different things, I like it.

    Personally, I saw a dragoon. (I need more pylons)

  • Trump scraps tariffs on beef, coffee and tropical fruit in a push to lower grocery store prices

    Jump

  • Short Answer: Markets are complicated and full of hundreds of thousands of moving parts. For a very simple example related to beef - we could consider the import of Waygu beef since that's a commodity you can't make in the USA.

    Obviously, there's plenty of other beef products we import. Anyways yeah usually a country is exporting and importing the same stuff in some quantities when it comes to things like beef or pork or simple mechanical widgets or whatever. Just stuff that because of the quirks of supply and demand and logistics makes it so widgets are exported for sale and also sold domestically.

  • Dog shoots owner in the back after jumping on shotgun left on bed: Police

  • Not unless you're really dumb, people accidentally shoot themselves with "unloaded" guns all the time.

  • If you get shot cleaning your gun you have MAJORLY fucked up.

    Like, you have to try to be that level of stupid and it still happens. People are just incredibly dumb it would seem. I mean, I know we must have a ton of morons in this country in order for Trump to get elected because ... Everything.

  • ‘V for Vendetta’ TV Series in the Works at HBO

    Jump

  • The comic really is better than the movie. I want to see the real V depicted in the show, would be excellent. He's truly a psychopath in the comic, a rather irredeemable one at that. Would be great to see the comic plot done well vs the white washing that made V into a hero in the movie. He's very far from a hero, I don't even know if he fits the antihero role either, mostly in the comic he's just a deranged man that's been destroyed by society, has a boatload of bloodlust and seeks revenge through some rather dubious means (and innocent lives be damned).

  • Just opened a new jar of jam, only to find mold in it.

    Jump

  • He could have politely asked for the supervisor to start vs being a belligerent asshole until one showed up. Alternate take though, if he was nice and asked for a supervisor to start and the person told him no and they wouldn't get a supervisor - well that's when you have to actually be the asshole and make enough of a scene one shows up.

    That's like ... Very unlikely though, most people will get you their higher up person if it's necessary to help and you're being nice.

    I hate when you have to be the jerk to get what you need but sometimes you just have to.

  • African women tricked into making Russian drones: 'My skin was peeling'

  • I was also thinking it's like sharecropping (which is pretty much just slavery with extra steps, super fucked up).

    Russia really is just a worse version of the USA.

  • Train collides with 18-wheeler hauling cars, intersection reopens Monday morning

    Jump

  • I think I know the same amount of information after reading the article as I did before. That "article" could have been a headline.

    Train collides with tractor trailer - no injuries - details still unknown

    I feel disrespected by that article. Harrumph.

  • "It's about history"

  • You don't need a /s, that's literally what it was.

    It's just some people pretend that isn't what the rights were that the CSA fought for. Those people are morons.

  • I'm not the person you're being a dick to but I can tell you I saw the no kings protest in white person suburbia Ohio and it was at least double in size from the last one.

    Much bigger turnout than I would have expected. So ... While you obviously are trolling I do have to say that for anyone reading my comment - there are still those amongst us who want to live in a Democracy.
