Well, another party that is willing to actually govern is welcome to stand up for itself and replace the GOP.

Until that happens, we have the GOP, a party that is ran by gaslighting, obstructionism, and projection, who’s real purpose has been laid bare for decades: To take our government, and “reduce it to the size where [they] can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub”. And the Democrats, a party that has its own flaws, but actually wants to enact laws and run the country.

One of these parties wants to actively destroy our government, and one of them doesn’t.

That requires a functional Congress, which is really only achieved by getting rid of the GOP disease in all three branches.

The power of those chips matters a great deal. If China is producing mostly chips supporting IoT devices, and its imports are computer chips of the Intel/AMD variety, it doesn’t have nearly as much impact as the title implies.

No. No, they can’t. This shit still takes lots and lots of training data.

It’s just like any job. You can’t just fully fake something in one day. At best, you might get 60% of the way there, maybe 80% after adding on some generic experience. But, you’re not going to fully mimic anything without lots of training and experience.

Internet Archive is also doing this with web pages, sooo…

Try again, 404 Journalism Not Found.

The article makes several claims and insinuations without backing them up so I find it hard to follow any of the reasoning.

“Article”. I’m going to call it what it is: a blog post that should have moderated away. If people here are going to post “tech news”, make sure it has actual journalism.

Postel’s law IMHO is a big mistake - it’s what gave us Internet Explorer and arbitrary unpredictable interpretation of HTML, leading to decades of browser incompatibility problems. But the law is not even applicable here. Unlike the Internet, we want the AI to appear to think for itself rather than being predictable.

It’s almost like Isaac Asimov wrote a famous book about robotic laws and a bunch of different short stories on how easy it was to circumvent them.

you have to find people and discovery has always been one of the worst aspects of the fediverse.

How is this different than Twitter?

Facebook created the quest in order to detach their product from the whims of a terrible company like Nvidia, and that has somehow helped.

Facebook didn’t create shit. They bought the Quest. They bought hyper-evolved, time-traveling 4th dimensional being, actual fucking rocket scientist, benevolent hyperintelligent architect of the post-singularity simulation we all live in, John Carmack, and then he got sick of the Meta bullshit and left.

1Password is pretty good, too.

Taking the repair monopoly from the big corp and distributing it across small businesses is still a win.

And he said this in the 80s, when AI as we know it today was barely a concept.

Deep Mind is actually delivering shit like an estimate of the entire human proteome structure and creating the transcendently greatest go player of all time.

Not to mention the huge advances in Chess AI. LeelaChessZero is the open-source implementation of the original AlphaZero idea Google came out with, and is rivaling Stockfish 15. Meanwhile, Torch is a new AI being developed that is now kicking Stockfish’s ass.

Grandmasters and notices alike are learning a lot from chess AI, figuring out better ways to improve themselves, either by playing them outright, using them for post-game analysis, or watching two bots play and see the kind of creative strategies they can come up with.

bit of a ramble of vampire castle buzzwords.

what?

Clearly the technology doesn’t work, and probably won’t ever work. I certainly can’t tell the difference between the faces, so how could a AI model hope to do anything differently?

Those are the kind of excuses people at SpaceX make. When a leader fools workers into thinking they are doing unique and societal-changing work, he can push them to work for any amount of punishing hours.

The entire gaming industry runs on this mentality.

Fonts are an OS thing. If you don’t have support for it, that’s because you haven’t downloaded it yet.

It’s not. I wish it was, but it’s not.

Why would I follow a specific person for non-video content? That strikes me as way too parasocial to me. All that person is going to tell me is their personal opinion, and I barely trust the news articles that appear here, much less some famous person’s random opinion.

I don’t get it, either. I use a plugin to expand horizontal space on Lemmy, because I already hate how much real estate it wastes. Mastodon is much much worse, with this aesthetic that forces you to use a mobile “long-ways” view of the content.

I’m convinced that Mastodon is more popular only because Elon has pissed off Twitter users more than Spez has pissed off Reddit users.
