The USA would have turned on a president back in the day for having a affair we literally saw that happen with Clinton. The president would have been impeached.
It’s literally that Trump filled the government with people sycophantic to him and broke so much stuff that holding him accountable is a pipe dream.
On the other hand, I read an article that basically alleged that Huang’s wife was in oj the deal to sell chips to the CCP and I suspect the affair(s) was an open secret. The only reason they are considering ousting him is to save face and curtail the scope of the probe/investigation.
My biggest problem with that is the fact that lots of platforms that are popular are pushing AI slop. I like the curation algorithm because in a lot of cases it’s one of the few ways to remove AI music or video from the list.
I don’t think kids should miss out on the discovery features of a service just because they’re kids. I have found that most of the information that would be collected for this shouldn’t require more than a signed in account (where a lot of these services go above and beyond to track you across the internet).
It’s fine to collate data I’m already giving you by using the service and having an account (music I upvoter, channels I subscribe to etc) to provide me with discovery features without the need to know when I had my tonsils removed and who did my first prostate exam.
In the same way that we pushed teens out of third spaces and forced them to find other ways to socialize (while pretty much eliminating third spaces all together) and now we’re concerned about their online social media use?
I didn’t know she was dead.
Which would make their claim even more wrong because a nominal tax rate of 10% would make that price $1758.9.
But either way, the point is, $1900
@!$and €1900 aren’t the same and either their dollar sign was a typo or they misread.
First and foremost, do you think that use of Large Language Models makes some entity successful?
Followup - Who do you think benefits if people don’t use LLM’S?
Last question at what point does LLM usage for “non-slop outputs” have pros that outweigh the cons as people who are against the use of AI see it?
I feel like you’ve got specific use cases in mind and it seems like a lot of those are the sorts of things where they are specific to a handful of use cases/industries like tech/generating code for projects.
My job has recently made AI available to us. The main reason I don’t use it is because if I need to look something up, I need the actual factual tech data or publication because it contains information that helps me understand the answers I’m looking for. Short of reproducing said pub in its entirety (which can be done with a search engine), the summary doesn’t do anything for me. Even if that information appears in several different places, where it appears is its own information and that has value to give me a better picture.
I don’t want to build something to a spec I don’t understand. So I read the documentation. But I don’t work on code. I build real life machines and troubleshoot real life machines. The only way AI might be valuable in my workplace is if my shop forman or the suits who own the place needed an overview and honestly given where I work and what I do, that’s just incredibly unlikely. Those people were in my shoes at one point. They don’t need the overview.
There are a whole lot of people saying that group ethics has created a lot of horrible fallout and loss of life over human history and then there’s you with your made up perfect democracy that doesn’t exist and hasn’t really remotely existed since like the Athenians (and even then they had a fucking slave class), at least partially due to the logistics of scale, and the horrible selfishness of the general population, and then there’s you suggesting that we’re tankies because you can’t wrap your head around that fact that people disagree with you not because they are communist apologists, but because they see a fundamental flaw in your argument that the will of the people is the best ethical barometer.
You don’t get to have it both ways.
If saying Mao would try to mass murder a Communist party that has changed course on most of his directives is Tankie talk intent on lauding him, then saying he’s so potent that even after death his party is still in lock step with him is definitely lauding him and sounds like Tankie talk. Pick a lane, troll.
One of us is acknowledging that the current Chinese Communist party is not Maos party nor is it holding up to his ideals, and pointing out that he was a mass murdering psycopath. The other one either needs a history lesson and a social studies lesson, or is so intent on being an asshole that they speak before they think.
I’m not a Tankie. This right here is exactly what I expected.
I’m trying to bridge the gap between the two arguments being made in this thread.
The masses have to have an avenue to make change and decide ethics. People like Mao and Stalin and Musk and so on deliberately go out of their way to circumvent those avenues.
Eventually that leads to a pressure cooker of violent action because diplomacy has failed.
Either way, Ethics informs law, they aren’t two mutually exclusive entities.
You’re sounding an awful lot like a Mao apologist right now.
And if Mao could see what China has become he’d off the whole party.
I think you missed my point. It sounds like to me that you are arguing that “we the people” so to speak are supposed to be doing things to change society for the better by acting as a collective fire break, and people like Musk and Mao are examples of us not doing enough?
The person you responded to is making the point that people don’t rise up to correct certain problems in society (as an example of where the will of the people regardless of lip service is not carried out), and your answer is to provide a list of people who didn’t/haven’t died by the will of the people and who go out of their way (or did) to prevent the will of the people from being actualized.
I’m also inclined to think, after reading this entire comment thread that you might be barking of the wrong tree because both arguments have merit.
A lot of people at one time thought it was perfectly fine to own slaves. To perform public executions. To remove children from their parents to Catholicize and colonise them.
There are a lot of examples in history where most people have agreed to some truly horrific and entirely unethical stuff because it benefitted them personally regardless of the detriment to others, especially minorities.
On the other hand I do agree that change needs momentum and that needs people. No one person is an army, and no ethical change happens without that time and momentum made up of people.
Half that list go to great lengths to prevent themselves from being offed on a daily if not hourly basis.
This explains cuckoldry for me in a way that makes sense. I don’t know that I should be thanking you for this cursed knowledge, but still, thanks for that.
I’m not expecting AI to go away. I’m hoping the bubble pop will remove AI from a lot of markets that shouldn’t be using it because it was shoehorned in so they could figure out uses for it. The test bench use makes sense to me. I can see how that could be beneficial to generate. In this case the people using those AI generated tests are still coding and their skills will remain sharp.
But it just doesn’t work for a lot of stuff people are trying to use it for. Consumer tech is one of those things and I actively hate it.
0·8 months agoWhat I’m hearing is that you don’t want to support the creators who’s work you repost here.
I don’t agree. These types of ads are the few that I’m actually okay with. because it’s an artist trying to support themselves, not a corporate schill using AI or trying to push a big corp.
The War and Peas comics artist has a patreon. I can’t afford to support them directly but I do want them to receive support.
Why don’t you want artists to get paid for their work?
I hope he is that stupid. Putting a flipped Chinese asset in his cabinet or in any position in the federal government while there’s an active probe into the legality of that person’s conduct.
