  • Thanks Reagan, you fuckwit

    Jump

  • Ah yes, Regan: fucking up everything he could.

    Many problems today come from his time as president, and many Republicans hail him as the best president (except for the orange traitor, of course).

    Sometimes I wonder if the Republican politicians are 100% made up of psychopaths...

  • Oh, I met someone once who spoke really slow and made long pauses to when he spoke.

    Great guy, but I started finishing his sentences out of desperation.

  • Ireland plans to make a $1,500 a month basic income for artists permanent

    Jump

  • It gets even more unfair: participants get selected by chance (if they fulfill the criteria)

    BUT it's just a pilot project. I hope it's successful and gets implemented for everyone - I mean everyone has the potential to become an artist if money isn't the deciding factor anymore.

    Who knows how many great musicians, painter, etc. are stuck in a 9-5 job? I for example want to create a game... Not really "art" in the classical sense, but creative and prone to bring me next to no money unless I have a lot of luck.

    Hell, even scientists might be more free in what they want to study if money is less of a problem...

    UBI might be a great thing and I agree that art isn't the only thing that could benefit from it.

  • As I said: not surprised.

    Shootings in a war zone, who would investigate?

    There are places in the world where the law breaks down. You wouldn't even have to go to a war zone for that: If the super rich abducted some homeless people who would notice? Especially if it's in a poor country with already corrupt police.

    Hell even in "first world" countries the poorest are nearly unprotected.

  • Humans tend to push boundaries. For the super rich there are nearly no boundaries set. Breaking most laws only costs money, which doesn't scale with the wealth of the culprit.

    Drugs, legal girls, legal entertainment gets probably boring if you have it all the time. So they get more depraved.

    I would not be surprised if some of them torture, kill and enslave people just for kicks

  • Thou shalt not alter thy body? I don't remember that one

    Jump

  • A lot of historical figures get mentioned by contemporary writing of that period- the more important that person is the more information can generally be found. Yet Jesus who, even if you ignore the miracles, should have been an important spiritual leader wasn't mentioned.

  • The resemblance is uncanny

    Jump

  • He lost some weight before the invention of the time machine. Good for him.

  • Thou shalt not alter thy body? I don't remember that one

    Jump

  • There is next to no evidence of Jesus Christ unless you count Christian sources, which have a bit of a bias.

    The Romans for example were big on book keeping, yet no mention of Jesus can be found.

    The existence of Jesus is possible, but far from certain - of course that's something Christians don't like to hear and the Christian church actively fights.

    US news outlets refuse to sign new Pentagon rules to report only official information

  • Uplifting News: US media resists Gleichschaltung, for now.

    ... I don't think don't think that news is really uplifting.

    I mean I get it: that they resist is good.

    It's just that they have to resist against something like that is so much worse.

  • Private data tells the story Washington won’t: Jobs are disappearing

    Jump

  • Investors hate a unpredictable market. Trump's constant changes and insane policies make the US very uncomfortable for any business.

  • Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein ‘we’re in this together’ in 2011 email

    Jump

  • There should be massive protests about this and calls for justice!

  • Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble

    Jump

  • The mantra of 'more compute, more data' is still strong with AI companies.

    I agree that the latest models haven't had the massive gains that e.g. GPT-3 to GPT-4 had and people say that data is mostly used up. I also don't see a big reduction in hallucinations.

    Still, none of the big players have admitted that they hit a wall, either with scaling or data. Getting reliable information from such secretive companies is hard.

    And their actions (building new data centers, new chip designs) seem to indicate confidence in their path.

    If that confidence is warranted... who knows?

  • Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble

    Jump

  • As soon as a reasonable bad news story breaks. For example if the LLM architecture shows it's limits without a way forward, or that new laws make further AI research unfeasible. Multiple big players abandoning LLM research.

    Something like that from a trusted news source would burst the bubble.

    I even think that most people in AI know that it's a bubble, it's just that they gamble that AI reaches AGI or even ASI before the bubble bursts.

  • ... huh...

  • No, I will not peanut butter your hole. The dog has never been the same since last time.

  • Man Embraces AI at Work, Gets Rewarded by Boss Replacing Him With It

    Jump

  • Let's consider AI would make you X% more efficient in your job.

    Would you get X% more spare time?

    Get a X% higher salary?

    No, of course not! Your boss would fire more people until you are overworked again. That's the way of capitalism.

  • Locked

    you watch

  • Oh that would force Democrats to write a really strong worded letter. Probably multiple pages. You'll see.

  • A quick reminder, 2025 update should include AI in the diagram

    Jump

  • Yes and no one but crypto needs that. Everyone else is much better served with traditional databases.

  • A quick reminder, 2025 update should include AI in the diagram

    Jump

  • Blockchain solves a specific problem: safe transactions without a trusted authority.

    It has a lot of downsides to solve this problem without a trusted authority, so in any case where you can use a trusted authority (for example a central server) it's much better to use that instead of a blockchain.

    So everyone who added blockchains to their projects gained all the downsides while never having the problem it was meant to solve in the first place.

    AIs, and I assume you meant LLMs with that, are a different breed. LLMs are new: never before could a computer handle natural language to such a degree.

    Problem is, that it's still new. So no one knows what the "killer applications" are or what monetization should look like, or what the laws about it will be.

    People just throw every against the wall and see what sticks... And hope for AGI/ASI and to be on the side that rides that nearly infinite potential to the moon.

    Or, you know, crash and burn in case AI reaches a wall/diminishing returns/systemic problems that can't be fixed.

    We will see.
