Why in God’s name would we put weapons that pose a legitimate threat to the whole of humanity under the control of an ai? I just don’t think this one sounds plausible.

I recommend this thread btw https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistory/comments/18ydzok/has_the_term_dark_ages_truly_become_an_obsolete/

Nothing to do with the rest of your comment.

If you legitimately believe this then you are a clown. Terminator came out in what year again? Lmaoooo

Edit with citation:

“As AI researchers in the 1960s and 1970s began to use computers to recognize images, translate between languages, and understand instructions in normal language and not just code, the idea that computers would eventually develop the ability to speak and think—and thus to do evil—bubbled into mainstream culture.”

It even has its own Wikipedia article! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_artificial_general_intelligence

Are you suggesting that architectural styles are not based on interactions with different peoples and that the type of architecture, for example, from 200-500CE is not going to vary greatly in different regions such as East Asia and Europe? And that those peoples with individual cultures and ideas about architecture won’t ever interact with their neighbors, creating cross-cultural styles? That these cultures will never interact and reach a quorum on specific styles of buildings, especially when brought together through larger institutions such as religion?

From a content creator’s standpoint, sure. The issue is that when the end user doesn’t have a shiny new thing they’re interested in in front of them every 30 or so seconds they just log off and stop using the service. Why use mastodon if bluesky/threads/whatever shows them, generally, more of what they want to see and less of what they don’t?

Most people are using social media as a way to veg out and unwind these days. They don’t really care if somebody is able to game the system, just that they see more that lets them veg out (or alternatively makes them angry, driving increased engagement).

I agree that this is generally bad, but trying to sidestep it completely like Mastodon is is just going to result in a network that never hits the critical mass necessary to start exponential growth.

There’s also just the issue of the fact that there’s significantly more books, articles, etc. written in standard english vs AAVE so that’s gonna be a huuuge barrier to overcome regardless of diversity of development and training teams. Not to say diversity isn’t important, but also that there’s just certain challenges surrounding finding adequate amounts of high quality training data, especially for less mainstream concepts. It’s the same reason an AI couldn’t give a summary of a book that has almost no info abt it on the internet.

That’s an insult to 6th graders

Compared to the average person, yes, you are a very heavy user. Most people use their laptop for little more than browsing the internet.

I have 8 and am able to play 4x games at high settings w/o significant lag until late game lol. People really tend to blow this one out of proportion. Unless you’re an incredibly heavy user you probably don’t need more than 8 and 16 still feels luxurious.

Another argument for buying your teenager cigarettes…

Average is one in 30? Wild. The P&G plant near my house was at a few hundred days with no incidents recently. For Tesla to be doing even worse than 1/30 tho? Yikes

125 ain’t even that high like wut. That’s like 3+% of the population lmao

Tell me you don’t pay attention to or understand American politics without telling me…

The supermajority is the only time the democrats reasonably could have pushed anything through while the Republican party’s only goal is to obstruct any and all progress. Any yes, during that time there was lots of infighting. We also guaranteed health insurance for the first time and passed the ACA.

Want change? Go make it instead of yelling at a bunch of people that also want change on a semi-popular forum.

Thanks for the informative reply! Looks like I need to brush up on my hardware knowledge lol

There’s a company making analog chips that do the matrix calculations at a (15 or) 60x (I forget which) more efficient rate than moden chips (by multiplying voltages I believe). Even though one is only about 1/3 the processing power of a modern gpu, stack enough together and you’re cooking. The matrix multiplication aspect is what we’re using the VRAM for right?
