It’s not cowardice, it’s intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

thanks, fixed.

Lol, but there are lots of applications for nondeterministic computing that are not LLMs. Some of the famous-y ones would be like Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which is used in reinforcement learning (e.g., AlphaGo) to explore game trees probabilistically, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), where you use randomness to sample from complex distributions (e.g., Bayesian inference), and zero-knowledge proofs, where you use randomness to verify information without revealing it. You could probably get an LLM to make a longer list :)

This is it literally. (granted I’m sure there are other use cases, but you know they’re following those AI-dollars)

it’s just practice.

At least you tried.

I’m down. We should invite some of the solarpunk instance guys.

ex- google exec

Damn I’ve only tried 1 out of 6, no wonder I feel terrible.

So every AI’s gonna identify as an Arch user with striped socks now?

Ok reading a little more the class has been certified but it hasn’t gone to trial, so there’s still a possibility of a closed-door settlement of some sort, though given the number of parties involved that seems unlikely. Maybe I’m just being optimistic. But if it goes to trial and makes it to judgement there will either have to be cases where using copyrighted materials to train AI (which seriously how is that not for generating derivative works) is found to be ok, or copyright will be held sacrosanct and the whole gen AI industry will have to pay… something. Punitive damages would make the industry cease to exist overnight, and I’d bet most publishers would prefer a check instead.

It has to set some precedent though. Either there are valid reasons to violate copyright are there aren’t.

Yeah for all his shortcomings Pat Gelsinger had the right plan for Intel. But the board wanted to see the numbers go up every quarter – long-term viability be damned – and he couldn’t do both that and push all of their advanced engineering directives, so something had to give (which in this case was Gelsinger himself).

Damn how did I miss that. Also, Labor of Lust would be a great title for said lesbian RPG (assuming it was set in the workplace).

Hopefully it was a labor of love.

There will be a follow up bill called Act to Mandate Aggressive Zero-Exception Bans on Anonymous Login & Secure Networks that makes VPNs, TOR, etc illegal. I think they’re working on it in the UK already.

Man these political compass charts get weirder and weirder.

I may have to make this my bio.
