Get yourself an adblocker to avoid these time sinks and scams. No valuable info has ever been communicated to me through an internet ad.

That’s correct. Trying things is gay, if we can’t have total world peace it’s not worth it. It’s the same reason I want to abolish firefighters.

Calling him exonerated is a stretch. Choosing not to defend yourself is a bad look, and he resigned soon after the announcement of an investigation called for by dozens of his colleagues. The allegations came out 3 weeks ago, and he admitted at least making ‘mistakes’ in his PhD thesis. The loss of academic integrity is an existential threat to a university; the investigation should have played out, it might still even without him.

Absolutely. Standing up for your child is not encouraging violence, it’s teaching them that their boundaries are important. Those are parents who care about their child’s developing self-worth and there need to be more like them.

You only need 1550 barges to supply the entire USA.

*for one hour

OP not only fucked up conversion, but confused energy and power. Battery capacity is a measure of energy while grid usage is a measure of power.

The battery is 1MWh, not 1MW. There are 1000 MW in a GW. Therefore, two barges could contain enough charge to run a gigawatt datacenter for one hour, so you’ll need a barge to arrive every thirty minutes approximately.

Ah shit I might’ve been the final straw, who knows. We got in a disagreement about censorship this morning. I don’t think either of us were being harsh, but the timing is close.

I hate censorship therefore I don’t like spreading censorship. It is just one letter, but the intent is clear: sex and talking about sex should be shameful.

You don’t censor things, you just promote censorship, got it.

convert these Postman JSON collections to JMeter load tests

Just use jmeter! Jmeter and corpo-curl are two different tools, it’s really not that hard to design your own test plans.

I also don’t understand making the receptionist do it, e2e tests are actually important and should be designed by someone familiar with the system they are testing.

Convert the PDF to a fillable form

You mean ocr? The thing that we already had an ai boom/bust cycle about in the 60s?! The thing the USPS has used to read chickenscratch addresses on all envelopes since the 70s?

Here, this project has been filling your exact use case for more than a dozen years now: https://github.com/ocrmypdf

and make sure the fillable fields are properly located between the lines of the field names they correspond to" and then it just does it and now applicants can apply online and you didn’t have to pay an expensive human to do menial one-off work in applications they don’t really know.

There’s a ton of dumb, time-wasting shit you don’t have to do anymore because you can just make the robot do it. It’s not all just straight plagiarism and stealing artwork and dead Internet propaganda-bot garbage. You can use it for good or evil. The power generation and inefficiency are still unsolved problems, the super aggressive build-out arms race is pure idiocy and we absolutely need to slow this whole thing down, and I’ll never forgive these greedy fucks for ruining the PC components market every few years, first crypto now this, but there are use cases that allow people to do things they couldn’t otherwise do.

Properly used, AI is a force multiplier. Improperly used, it’s a resource-burning race to the bottom, but if you can’t think of legitimate uses for a general-purpose software robot you can tell to do tedious stuff in plain language and it’ll just do it with a bit of guidance, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Big wall of nothing, didn’t read.

No regrets

That doesn’t look very structurally sound; I recommend a corbel arch on prod.

Delaying the collapse of civilization by changing the chemistry of the atmosphere further will only serve to hurt the entire ecosystem to allow a few more years of our planet-wide rape. Decarbonizing was the only hope for both human civilization and Earth to survive together. Our choice now is to accept that or possibly kill everything in desperation.

Don’t take it too seriously, there is an effect but it’s not that large. And anyways, the change in maritime fuel standards happened in 2020, while this trend goes back to 2015. A geoengineering project is just going to cause more problems, we don’t know nearly enough about how the world works, truly.

All of the climate models have adjustable parameters. We are still within the bounds of the worst case scenarios but scientists are always afraid to claim too much. An academic’s reputation is a lot less recoverable than a pop star or politician in the sense that they, and their colleagues, actually take their words and predictions seriously. I don’t want to completely dismiss the effect of lobbying and corruption toward the downplaying of global warming, but making smaller-than-necessary claims is a common sight in most academic fields.

‘Sharp acceleration’ meaning 75% faster warming in the last decade compared to the 40 years previous, and blowing past the 1.5° target in 3-4 years. No speculation was given, but I think it’s likely we’re seeing the limits of oceanic absorption of co2 and heat. The ocean’s latent heat capacity has flattened the curve for more than a century, and it’s very hard to predict when that will run out, but sea surface temperatures spiking all over have been good evidence that we have passed a major tipping point in the last few years.

I’ve been perfectly clear where I stand, you have been cherry picking definitions to suit your argument this entire thread. I have never conflated gen ai with corporate interests, you can see from my profile that I’m against chatbots of all types, open or closed weights, cloud or local. I am arguing against generative ai, all generative ai, as I have been doing for years. You are making excuses to avoid any self reflection about your chatbot use.

Do you not see how incredibly broad your definition is compared to wikis or mine? I agree that wiki definitions often use qualifiers in order to avoid making absolute statements, but wiki and I absolutely do agree about this.

I am struggling to take your claim of simple miscommunication seriously. The context of the gen ai debate that’s been raging for 3+ years is not in flux: we have all been saying the same things about the same chatbots, and the idea that anti-ai people just hate medicine or weather or animals or whatever is just… deeply disrespectful and annoying. You can at least just learn what we’re opposed to, before defending ai from attacks and arguments that were never made and would be silly to try to make.

No, absolutely false. Generative ai is literally generating text and images or even videos from a prompt. If you conflate everything it’s very easy to dismiss criticism, but if you actually contend with anti-ai arguments you will find they all use this definition.

So you just completely ignore all context? The fact that you’re talking about generative ai doesn’t give you any fucking context clues? Who is arguing against machine learning?? Nobody! Who is fighting to get rid of disease modeling? Nobody!! These are fake arguments that only exist to distract from the very very limited potential of chatbots, and yes, generative ai is just chatbots.
