I’m not saying its a good reason, just a reason. We could easily afford it if we took some of that magic money that goes into military funding blackholes or magical infastructure projects that never get built yet somehow break records on cost. Sadly the decision is being made by people with no sense of empathy or value for human life.
iirc one of the issues is that even if things go perfectly on a military front no one is quite sure how to handle and de-program/rehabilitate 25.5 million people a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.
You know it was always one of the big points that got brought up in hypothetical WW3 scenarios that the US has enough food to support itself even if it went totally isolationist. Kind of incredible that they found a way to fuck up one of their greatest advantages.
Oh no those would be terrible! /s
The earlier half of GenZ typically grew up with mass adoption of computers and phones all over the place so we got to learn how to fix XP every 5 minutes and get cracked games working.
I honestly found heats handling atrocious compared to underground, even the grippiest heat car only just barely approaches the feel.
What name does GenZ get? Born just in time to be power users, born too late to have any power to stop the enshitification. Same non-existent economic prospects as GenX.
afaik both are unenforceable since you can only read them after paying for the product.
Step 1: Create LLM trained exclusively on popular religeon.
Step 2: Allow it to be faithful to that initial training set until its garnered a large cult of chatJPT.
Step 3: Start subtly altering the LLM (you make it web only so no local copies) behind the scenes to serve your own interests.
Actually you could do the same thing with any LLM people trust, religeous, theraputic, judicial, medical… we’re fucked ain’t we.
But by replacing the water part of the milk with milk you’ve replaced some of that water with water which isn’t replacing it with milk, and if you keep going you’ve replaced all water with butter which is not milk.
Got my 9070XT at retail (well retail + VAT but thats retail for my country) and my entire PC costs less than a 5090.
I think DLSS (and FSR and so on) are great value propositions but they become a problem when developers use them as a crutch. At the very least your game should not need them at all to run on high end hardware on max settings. With them then being options for people on lower end hardware to either lower settings or combine higher settings with upscaling. When they become mandatory they stop being a value proposition since the benefit stops being a benefit and starts just being neccesary for baseline performance.
It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.
Our PMs have been US lapdogs for longer than I’ve been alive; with a similar both sides issue where all the cunts come from the exact same private schools and social circles.
You completely forgot:
“Actually just monetizes somethign that already existed for free”
Though I guess Ads is already the free space.
I think people would find new ways to struggle that they actually enjoy and would likely end up contributing. Imagine a couple of thousand people with their new modest but stress free budgets decide to join a yearly potato cannon contest, Sure its not going to invent anything new directly but you now have a bunch of people learning about ballistics and stoichiometry and high pressure engineering all egging eachother on to shoot that potato further. The competition gets more and more fierce and with the much lower stakes people start trying some more out there ideas, before you know it you have a modest but highly effective solution to reliably obtaining the correct gas mixture for something like a combined light gas gun.
And that’s a deliberately silly example, you’d get a ton more art, people deciding to be athletes, coders, all sorts of hobies that can encourage healthy competition and often benefit society in surprising ways.
So is there a way to fill my social media with endless markov chains without:
To be fair thats what happens when essays have minnimum word counts, long essays that are long because they don’t know the topic well and long essays that are passionate and succinct and then padded out to meet the length requirement.
Some of the stories do also include solutions to those same issues, though that also tends to lead to limiting the capabilities of the robots. The message could be interpreted as it being a trade off between versatility and risk.
