  • Just in case you needed more reasons to hate Grok

  • You don't get the painting. You just murder the cat for the sake of the most privileged people on the planet.

  • The painting isn't even tied down either. Does anybody really give a crap about this old, ugly, eurocentric painting? It's just a symbol of racism conquering progress and good taste.

  • But what does a coin toss say?!?!?! The original "AI".

  • Just in case you needed more reasons to hate Grok

    Jump

  • Well it was developed by a genocidal racist...

    Try putting a palestinian on the tracks. I'm sure the money is more valuable. At least if the "AI" understands reality.

    That's capitalism. That's the system we're trapped under.

  • Is there really demand for more "compute"?

    Jump

  • It's a fairly common theory that demand will never meet "expectations". I think the most famous proponent is The Big Short guy:

    "Tech giants like Microsoft, which are pouring billions into chips, data centers, and infrastructure may find that returns do not justify the enormous costs." ... He argues that markets are focusing too much on whether AI is a bubble rather than asking the more important question, Can all this spending actually produce measurable returns?

    (My rant: The "future demand" is part of the grift. It's a boondoggle. These grifters are going to grab as much cash as possible while saying whatever keeps the gravy train rolling. When it all crashes, they'll be fine, maybe even bailed out, because this is legal and normal under capitalism.)

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • They will max out borrowing, then print money to pay off the debt and de facto default.

    I think you wanted to use past tense here.

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • I guess it's for anybody who's privileged enough to profit off exploitation and planetary destruction.

    Jump

  • Good example, especially given that it looks like a Russian oligarchy is where we’ve been headed since 2016 since 1776

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure this is exact same thing that happened in USA.

  • If one billionaire makes out, three more lose money.

    That's just what you say. And who cares about billionaires losing money anyway?

  • Europe’s $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and Mastercard Has Begun

    Jump

  • I wonder how many trillions of dollars the Trump dumpster fire will end up costing American business.

    USAian business does great under fascism. Just look at the MIC. Both "parties" just voted on a massive handout for genocide, etc.

    Business will be fine! The right/rich people will be bailed out. Etc.

    Jump

  • I don’t think the USA will have the political stability to ultimately allow the adoption of an alternative.

    "Stablecoins" exist and are among the most popular cryptos (1).

    the new King is quite likely to ban it

    Trump literally has his own stablecoin (2), not to mention other crypto grifts.

    At the end of the day capitalism is a grift regardless of the food chips used.

  • Isn't crypto supposed to be a worthless grift tho? \s

  • In a study, AI model OpenScholar synthesizes scientific research and cites sources as accurately as human experts

    Jump

  • So the UW and Ai2 research team built OpenScholar, an open-source AI model designed specifically to synthesize current scientific research. The team also created the first large, multi-domain benchmark for evaluating

    So they graded themselves and got an A? Super great job!!! \s

    Typical "AI" "science".

  • Benefit of AI?

    Jump

  • Aren't you worried about you posts on Lemmy being stolen too?

  • Benefit of AI?

    Jump

  • everything you spend mental energy on

    Nope.

    will be lessened when AI

    Nah.

  • Benefit of AI?

    Jump

  • it seems like AI means a lot more people have been building open source tools.

    TBH I haven't seen this. AFAIK I'm still using the same open source apps made by the same people. I haven't seen a single "AI" app that I would add to my stack or replace an existing app with.

    Are there some examples of some great apps that have been built with "AI"? Like a list somewhere?

    Personally I would really like a clone of GarageBand for Linux. So if an "AI" can whip that up real quick, I would really appreciate it.
