You could try Nebula.

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.

Did his side piece write this?

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?

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.

$2,133.08 USD.

You’ll get no disagreement from me there. I struggle to understand how they got any support at all. The group chat is pretty damning.

At first Facebook was designed to perve on college and teenager girls and rate them.

The marketing was of course that it was to bring people together and help them keep in touch and to be fair I think Facebook did do that decades ago.

But honestly, if the entire platform is bots or even the majority of accounts are bots pretending to be humans then that no longer makes any sense. I don’t have a Facebook anymore. De-activated a long time ago after basically ignoring it for like 10+ years.

But I was there back in the day when you needed a college/school email to create an account and honestly, it seems like they deliberately leveraged it into what it is today by doing exactly what you say and harvesting users personal data/advertising. But did it actually start off as that? I feel like that might be giving Zuck too much credit.

They might be into that.

“Sam Altman props up chip makers by trying to spin their pivot away from consumer electronics as a net positive, more at 11.”

He’s doing what they’re all doing. Trying to use spin and headlines to prop up a dying industry to keep the bubble from popping. Get the pitchforks.

The trees deserve better and the Lorax is like knee height. I like my knees.

So, forgive me if I have this wrong. You’re saying that a bad thing is coming. The fallout of which is going to destroy life as we know it on a grand world wide scale, and there’s basically nothing we can do except try to force politicians and corps to do things they are not going to do, but you don’t want us to cheer on the bad thing (or have an outlet for our displeasure with how bad things have already gotten, and our wish to not continue to sustain the corps and politicians that are actively making it bad for everyone) because it’ll be bad and we shouldn’t wish that on ourselves or others.

When something bad happens to you and it is the precursor to something worse that is inevitable, do you not expect to be able to pull any pressure relief lever available to you, or do you also complain and call for the downfall of whatever cause your current predicament?

Like. I get that you’re saying that people don’t know how bad it’ll get (unlikely given where you’re making this statement and the fact that a lot of people have been warning about the fallout of this for years now on Lemmy). But at the same time even you admit that being forewarned isn’t being for-armed and people don’t expect things to get better when the bubble pops. Most of us expect it to get much worse.

World markets are going to crash. Tax money and the general public the world over absolutely will be expected to try to bail out the corps that are causing this.

We’re looking at a full on Great Depression worse than the one that happened in the 1930’s, and it’ll be a world wide thing. We know full well our current way of life is over. People having been calling this the end times of late stage capitalism all over Lemmy for the last couple of years at least.

The thought process is, “this is going to hurt us. It’s going to hurt us badly, but there’s not really a way to insulate yourself from that hurt by amassing a lot of money because what’s coming is going to destroy rich people too.” So the thought process is, if that’s what it takes, and because we don’t really have a choice, we may as well get to it sooner rather than later. What does your 50 page paper say about the difference in time frame if the bubble pops tomorrow vs in 5 years or whatever?

Say we did read that report. What is the alternative to the bubble pop? What are you suggesting be done instead or to mitigate the fallout?

No no. I also want guillotines.

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.

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.

Me and my box full of forever stamps I don’t use.
