Dang. Not a scrap of awareness of the irony, in the article.
I’ll bet substantial amounts of money that the claim of “advanced reasoning abilities” will be ruled to be outright fraud, if it ever goes to court.
It’s the same claim made by traveling freak shows about horses that solve algebra problems, and the technology is essentially the same, under all the abstractions - learning models are great at repetition, and don’t understand jack shit, today.
“We’re confident that the AI we sell can take care of everything…except anything we actually want to see get done correctly (such as selling it).”
They are solvable problems, and many have already been solved already in some countries.
This is a great point!
Yeah. At least until his yes-men high five him and slap him on the back on his way to board the deep space or deep sea vessel that he designed himself.
But losing 75% of population, I can see some nuclear war breaking out
Seems pretty likely (eventually). I take hope that I’ll be in the direct blast radius, and not a mutilated horribly scarred survivor.
I choose not to think about this one much because it’s well outside my circle of influence.
The current trend sucks, obviously.
But historically, we used to be so much worse to each-other.
There’s reasons (data and practicality) to have faith that things will continue to improve.
But it won’t be enough, for many of us, in many of our lifetimes, so let’s all stay angry and active.
Lol.
“But honey, I left you a README file…”
Providing competition against media monopolies is illegal.
If they can’t sell you your memories, they think no one should have them. They will let your memories burn and be lost before they let you own or share them.
They’ll keep this up and they will continue to work to make intellectual property never enter the public domain.
I’m too chicken to be a pirate, myself. But I’m aware that pirates and librarians are the only ones with any intent to preserve works of art for the public.
or is it a universe where random chance causes every door to become jammed or otherwise malfunction after being installed?
I think it’s the later. I would provide a source, but I’m currently posting from a universe where no website can work 100% as designed.
Mist? It’s pretty foggy, but I don’t think he missed.
Can you be more specific?
Sure.
I’ve had discussions about my impression that Rust’s build chain can be a bit surly compared to other popular languages.
I don’t particularly mean it as a criticism - of course Rust’s security enforcement comes with more warnings and errors.
But the novel part of the interactions, for me, was Rust community members coming at me with ‘well get gud, newbie’.
These interactions are particularly ironic, given my experiences and specialties. I’m an old school veteran software developer. I have spent over half of my career in dedicated Cybersecurity roles.
These conversations converted me from a mildly interested Rust proponent into a casual Rust critic.
Lol. Yeah. Sorry, let me clarify, I agree.
Like any new technology embraced too hard too soon, AI is going to kill several of us.
The mass extermination of most of our species - I expect we will accomplish with or without AI assistance.
AI is going to kill a bunch of us, but this isn’t how it will happen.
Copyright law is the only one that matters apparently.
Exactly! Somewhere a lawyer for the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) just breathed a happy content little sigh.
I have heard of him compare the cult-like following Rust has with the whole Vim/Emacs tribalism thing.
Heh.
I do think the worst thing going for Rust, right now, is the Rust community.
It feels like few specific jackasses from the Java community made the jump to Rust, and no one had the sense to slap them with a newspaper.
Yep. I learned from an algorithm that I might enjoy music by “The Beatles”. The algorithm was quite correct, but I think my having simple tastes, and the Beatles having amazing music is due most of the credit.
I had this exact experience with music algorithm recommendations:
The algorithm analyzed all the songs I asked it to play, and concluded (correctly) that I might enjoy listening to the Beatles. (True story.)
(Now a bit of sarcasm:) I look forward to future insights, in other art forms, such as perhaps the writings of Shakespeare or the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci.
Ew gross.
I’m not going to keep the scalps of any Nazi I kill while defending my home and loved ones.
I’ll just use pen and paper to keep track.
(I’m not bothered by your comment at all, but am attempting to humorously “yes, and” with it.
I am attempting a homorous misdirect where the reader thinks I’m disgusted by threatening to kill Nazis, but then I’m actually just offended by inefficient messy ways of keeping tracked track of any killed Nazis.)
It’s wild that right wingers are always complaining about big tech censoring them when YouTube and Facebook are pushing far-right content so much
I’ve got a conspiracy theory about this:
Leading to:
There’s a lot of good information provided video game reviewers. I tend to start there, when looking for something new.
In particular, I’ve learned about entire genres such as “cozy games” and “couch co-op”, that way. Then, once I know what the genre I’m in the mood for is called I can search for “best cozy games of 2020”, to find ideas of what I might like to try.
In order to not worry about whether each game will run, I feel that the SteamDeck is the current nicest all around game console available, followed by the Nintendo Switch.
