What the hell is artificial superintelligence?

Apple Explained published a fairly thorough video on the failure of Apple Intelligence, and it’s covered there.

Unfortunately he doesn’t provide sources, but usually shows articles, so you can easily find them. The original sources there were leaks iirc.

Back? We’ve stopped doing that?

This really does explain why he was in such hard denial about any GPU smuggling taking place.

Also kind of a side note, but look how much publicity it gets when a tech CEO is played by a Chinese spy.

But when half the government and its agencies are invigilated by Israeli spies - nothing.

Even in a best case scenario, where the US is fully invested into supporting NATO, unlikely as it is, NATO as a whole remains unreliable.

The Article 5, which is supposed to be the security guarantee of all members, doesn’t provide any guarantees at all.

This assistance may or may not involve the use of armed force, and can include any action that Allies deem necessary to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Core part here - “any action that Allies deem necessary.” This can be literally nothing, if a country deems nothing is necessary. There are no minimum requirements when it comes to supporting a member invoking article 5.

As opposed to Article 42(7) of the Treaty on European Union, which legally binds all member states to do everything in their power to support a member that got attacked, who doesn’t even need to explicitly ask for it first.

This clause provides that if a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States have an obligation to aid and assist it by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations.

Unfortunately, this only helps EU countries. Although it could potentially be extended to other close allies like Canada or the UK. That remains to be seen.

It’s also nowhere close to a full ‘guarantee’, especially due to all the American assets rotting the EU from within, but it’s still more meaningful than NATO ever was.

At this point, I can’t quite comprehend why ideas of leaving NATO are still sometimes seen as extreme. The US is the evil guy. NATO is its own alliance. By supporting it, we quite literally are the baddies. There already exists an alternative, at least for 84% of NATO member states, and potentially coming for more.

She isn’t a child, but a Chinese spy. Though I’m sure he’s already plenty experienced in that area, too.

Apple very much did want to invest into AI development, but the financial department - which used to be Cook’s department before he became CEO - repeatedly denied allocating money for buying GPUs, and told the engineers to ‘just use the old ones’.

At that point, the ‘old ones’ were several years old, and in quantity about 1% of what Microsoft or Google had at the time.

Apple never ‘chose’ to wait with AI. It chose to be run by businessmen, who are always clueless, and who will always make terrible decisions. Though in this case it happened to have temporarily positive or neutral consequences for the users.

2-year-old account and this is your very first comment?

What is the point of a 1900€ phone? What is the target audience? How is it better than a 500€ phone?

Questions more towards Motorola than Graphene, but I doubt the Graphene foundation went into the partnership without knowing what kinds of specific phones would be covered.

I started hunting deer years ago because I wanted to be a part of the process, like if I couldn’t handle killing and gutting an animal I shouldn’t be eating meat.

Sorry for the extreme parallel, but… “If I can’t handle murdering a defenseless child, I shouldn’t be in the military.”

Have you considered… just not doing that?

Also, I fucking love it.

I guess there’s the answer.

I tried writing my comment as nicely as possible, but the post seriously reads like a billionaire’s diary. I don’t know how else to put it.

It may not be sold in Europe. It’s not listed on my local Lenovo website, or on any local marketplaces.

Might be just my country, so it’s worth checking in others too.

How about just banning sales of GTA 6 and anything Rockstar, or even better, Take-Two as a whole releases?

Redistribution.

Growth is only at all needed, because of a certain group hoarding and wasting everything.

At the current rate, growth will end all life on our planet. Just a few more years of growth, and we’ll be past the ‘no way back’ line.

If we want more growth (…)

We don’t.

This is the exact same thing that happened with luddites, which today we know as ‘idiots who oppose technological progress’ thanks to capitalist propaganda.

It was never about efficiency, quality, quantity, or accessibility. It’s almost exclusively about getting people to stop doing things for themselves, and instead rely on expensive machinery owned exclusively by the capitalist class for everything.

Most average people used to make and fix their own clothing, which meant they had little need for corporations that produce the same clothing, but lower quality. So capitalists forced everyone to use machines, until nobody remembered how to make clothes without them.

Same with software, languages, and a lot of other skills and office jobs right now. Educated people who know how to do stuff are not only unprofitable, but also dangerous. Make them all use AI until they forget everything and have to rely on megacorporations for the tiniest thing.

This is all the more reason to keep reading books, learning, DIY as much as possible, coding your own software, and even learning stuff like woodworking, sewing, farming, etc.

Being educated, informed, knowledgeable, and skilled is among the easiest, but at the same time most effective acts of resistance.

Do not let them turn you into mindless slaves.

Insane? So you’re saying it’s approved and ready to go?

The person posting did, but looks like unknowingly.

It’s Instagram. You think Facebook isn’t going to train AI on literally every piece of content on their websites, that it already has licenses to?

Not necessarily. Luks can be used with TPM. Although I’ve never seen it in practice.

Most Linux distros offer a standard Luks with passphrase setup with just a single checkmark, but enabling TPM takes more work.

You can. Add tags/genres to your ignored list, and you won’t see any games marked with them.

That’s about a third of a base PS5’s drive.

Technically it’s 850GB, but only around 650 is usable, as shown in the console’s storage settings.
