I was like “ok what’s the principal”, then I scrolled looking for it and saw how long the article was and was like “Jesus Christ I’m not reading all of that”, then I started reading it and found myself at the end.
A lot more compelling of a lens then I was expecting.
Good. Get off the internet and do anything else.x
This is literally how he always acts. There’s a reason that many instances do not federate with lemmy.ml, his instance.
He’s incredibly pro communist, pro Russia, pro China, and will ban you for even mentioning that something could be foreign propaganda.
At the end of the day, hopefully your instance builds their server code from source and inspects it to make sure there’s nothing nefarious. It would be nice to use a decentralized Reddit like platform not coded by him, but no one else has the time, resources, ability, and/or dedication, to step up.
I would still rather use Lemmy over Reddit, though I did switch to donating to piefed, the Canadian instance runners, over donating to him.
Fair that they’re not mutually exclusive, but you did imply that that’s why the majority don’t switch.
There’s also lots of people who become developers because they want to build the best software they can and don’t care to spend time thinking about whether one open source hosting platform is better for their code over another if they accomplish the same thing.
Your response is insanely narrow minded and judgemental, not everyone chooses to fight the same battles you do.
Literally every Samsung Android phone has come with their Dex desktop for like 10 years too.
I fucking hate Google at this point. They’re just an even shittier version of apple now. Locking down their shit for no reason, and claiming decades old innovations are actually new and theirs.
Let’s be clear, for a feature that Samsung phones have had for a decade at this point.
Slavery (vs using a machine), involves the subject being either a human, or more broadly, a sentient being with a sense of self.
An AI cam be intelligent without being sentient or having a sense of self.
Again, there’s no reason to think that intelligence is a linear scale or a binary property.
Anything an LLM can do can be reduced to a list of instructions for a person to carry out based exclusively on the contents of a book full of word associations. You tell me what size the book becomes intelligent.
And you know that your brain works differently how?
At what point will you try to liberate the AI? 3/5ths human? Either you believe there’s a thinking thing being forced to create child abuse material or you don’t.
Why do you think that intelligence of any kind is that linear or simple, let alone artificially built ones?
It = literally a dictionary right
It’s literally mathematically not a dictionary.
Said “threat” is literally AI marketing PR. You are doing their job for them by being afraid
And you know this because you’ve personally used and tested current AI models?
The posted headline is literally “Texas become leading ground for testing small modular reactors”.
That inherently implies that places that aren’t Texas, are not becoming leading grounds for testing small modular reactors, bringing those other places into the discussion.
Right now that’s not the headline I’m seeing on the article though, so either they’re A/B testing headlines or OP editorialized.
Except there is no language. It’s just the appearance of one. You could replicate the language with a large enough dictionary and a set of instructions that some person follows.
You’re saying that because it can learn any arbitrary language, it’s incapable of learning languages?
I don’t get how anyone who isn’t an AI CEO rushes to dehumanize real living people in service of an unthinking, unfeeling machine.
It’s not dehumanizing, it’s realistically facing the threat head on.
AI doesn’t have to be fully human to take all knowledge jobs, it just has to be more intelligent then the average person in their domain. And it doesn’t have to be flawlessly more intelligent if it’s faster than them. Quantum computers have inherent randomness in their outputs, but they are still useful because they are so much faster at solving certain kinds of problems that you can run them 100x and discard the outlying results (a process known as error correction). AI agents that can duplicate themselves as many times as they want fall into the same category.
I’m so fucking sick of this “AI is just math it can’t be intelligent” take.
Literally everything we know about human intelligence, especially as compared to animal intelligence, suggests that language is one of the key fundamental differentiators between us and them.
Now we’ve built a collection of simulated neurons, at a scale close to that of the human brain, and trained it on the entirety of the human language, and people insists that there’s no way that could possibly exhibit any kind of intelligence.
If that’s your level of reasoning capability you’re not much better at it then an LLM.
Lol, typical American centric article.
Just outside Toronto, they’re building four 300MW small modular reactors, at an existing nuclear plant, using proven designs from Hitachi, and the first one is targeted to come online by 2029 or 2030, eclipsing the Texas projects in scale, timeline, and practicality, but that literally doesn’t even get a passing mention.
American judges have also been hobbled by decades of Republican legislation and judicial interpretations.
The American legal system has fucked itself into a corner where judges have to make these incredibly dumb technical rulings in specific interpretations and precedence, whereas as judges in many other western countries have much more freedom to look at the big picture or take into account systemic effects.
If they lie like that peacefully and contently then it’s because they find it comfortable.
If they’re active and trying to get your attention, but don’t want pets, then it’s because they want to play.
