“look at me and the scary beast I brought to life! Look at me!” No Geoffrey, the scary beasts are Sam Altman and his ilk, who would have used anything to hype the fading tech industry up. LLMs were just the thing that happened to be that “anything”.

Please, waste your money on something that needs several football fields big heat radiators per gigawatt. And cannot replace a hard drive without launching a technician into space.

🤔

as is tradition. Time to convert to new traditions.

they gambled and lost and now taxpayers pay their gambling bills

economy über alles

meaning the invading US troops get lost and hypothermic?

He will act as if it was his. EU should prepare accordingly. The ONLY sensible reason to have that agreement signed is to buy time. Any other thinking is delusional. I very much hope the EU political and military elites are conscious of this.

“plan to” why plan? Just do it.

Too late Andy. You are not going to be part of the tech overlord aristocracy, no matter how much you simp now.

Maybe it’s a good thing for you. May avoid the french doctor’s invention that way.

sadly , that’s a plausible explanation

“it can be blamed on personal responsibility” so, this equals to “magic box says you are a bad person”, at which point the magic box could just be a single “are we in business relationship with this person, yes or no?” decision. This was my point. You don’t need complicated machinery if you know what results you want out of it.

In the past the magic box was called God, or nation or clan, now it is called AI. There’s always a puppeteer behind the box, so why bother actually wasting resources on the internals of the box.

With such a one dimensional “USA is as bad as Russia” worldview you are probably a bot. I am responding for the sake of any human reading this thread.

The USA has done bad shit for sure, but it did things from time to time that are not easy to interpret as motivated by empire building. For example the intervention to the Yugoslav civil war to stop more genocide to take place. One can argue this was a show of power too, but they got no direct imperial benefit from it, so I believe the intent was more civilized than not. I definitely would have preferred the USA pushing back Russia to behind their borders from Ukraine instead of the 4 years of suffering. Putin would have sucked it up.

On the note of “civilization being nationalistic” you are getting it totally wrong. You are mistaking it for culture. Civilization is a behavior, people and organisations can behave civil almost anywhere in the world. Culture is a collection of encouraged and discouraged behaviors, civil behavior being one of them. Some cultures support civilized behavior, others don’t. Russian culture does not. USA has this cultural split, one side of which supports civilization the other doesn’t.

At this point, why do they care about predicting crime? Can’t they just say “everyone is guilty, unless they are friends in business relationship with us.”

The USA has a civilized tradition side by side to the uncivilized one, which got the upper hand in the last 10 years. Russia only has the uncivilized one.

Making money hasn’t been the goal for some time. Fascists have realized that the planet won’t be able to sustain more than ~1billion people, very soon. They are hogging resources, land, water, etc through datacenters and other means to become the judge of who lives and who dies. And they will decide based on “eugenical” (aka racist, ableist, other-ist) factors for the plebs, and of course every CEO and investor wants to be on the panel instead of being judged by the panel. That’s why the seemingly panicky decisions.

They are right about the planet.

It’s on us to get to 1billion through more peaceful, controlled, multi-generational ways for the common people, and starting by punishing fascist behavior with the necessary consequences.

This fucker should only make the news when he starts his long term prison sentence.

Hitmen would still be liable. Better to hire a swarm of drones or robodogs.

The answer is not letting any company grow into a monopoly. There are actual laws against that. Break up existing monopolies. Then make business owners way more accountable than they are today. I know it is hard to prove intent in fraud cases, but any sort of creative accounting, transfer of debt between companies, bonuses that aren’t in alignment with company performance, stock buybacks and other manipulations of valuation, and a myriad other obvious fraudulent behaviors should be punished with long prison time.

Productivity is a collective achievement. AI in its current form increases individual output (not necessarily good output) without any way to support consensus, alignment, understanding, etc. Without AI supported collaboration, AI supported individual productivity makes everything go very fast in every direction. Like an explosion.

Sustainability, decent QOL, high population. Pick two. I pick the first two. Studies usually pick the first and the last. Arguable what “decent” is, but definitely more than “you’re not starving to death and you have some kind of roof above your head”. Or they pick the last 2, and pretend that we can science our way into prosperity. Current agricultural methods are not long term sustainable, regardless if profit motivated or not. Before fertilizers, yields were much lower. But sustainable. But fertilizers and industrial agriculture screw up the soil long term. Also fertilizers need to be produced, often from non-renewing sources. Etc.

I have no comment on Frontex. They are probably a too late attempt to fix something that should have been fixed 50+ years ago.
