Related Youtube video I saw the other day: “AI bubble will pop…………any day now.”

Companies boasting about committing felonies and trying to charge companies to run the uncontrollable super-hacking machines on their systems has got to be one of the stupidest marketing attempts ever.

Half the living standards. Will be uncomfortable, and likely violent.

At some companies, it’s because they’re hoping to use the data of the employees using the AI to automate their job away.

Yeah, I’ve been getting interviews the past couple months, but I haven’t had any luck so far. Got to the final round a couple times, but I guess they liked someone else they interviewed better.

I’ve heard “loops” will burn a lot of tokens. Haven’t tried it myself. A person could also spool up multiple loops to work on multiple branches at the same time.

I think it saved my grandparents quite a bit of money. They didn’t need to can too much; mostly just canned pizza sauce and green beans. I don’t think they wasted much either. A lot of what they grew had a good shelf life (e.g. squash). The would also fry lawn weeds, like plantain and dandelions. It supplemented what they got from the food pantry.

They already have been. I know that at least one water desalination plant was hit. Civilian fuel infrastructure has been hit. The US openly stated they’re going to try to cripple their industrial capacity. Seems the US has adopted Israel’s Dahiya doctrine which targets civilian infrastructure. I think Trump said once the US is done there will be nobody left to surrender…

“At some point I don’t think there will be anybody left, maybe to say ‘we surrender.’ They’re being decimated.”

Haven’t used Mint in a while, but I think it’s mostly a function of the kernel. IIRC, there’s a nice GUI for selecting what kernel you want on Mint. Would probably only make a difference if you have new hardware and need a newer kernel.

I see an em-dash on a comment in MainActivity.kt on line 278, so I’m guessing it was used extensively. Also, a “→” character on 291.

Impossible. Signal said they have no choice but to use AWS for this kind of thing.

Will be selectively enforced and they’ll gradually tighten down over time.

I’ve seen some reporting that claims the US and Israel is bombing leftist opposition in Iran. And arming Kurdish militants. Seems like they just want Iran completely destabilized.

MAGA is a cult (and consists of previously existing cults such as Evangelical Christianity). As Trump said, there’s nothing he could do to lose their support.

Many countries are supporting these wars, death, and destruction as well (e.g. France, Germany, U.K., many countries in the region, Israel).

And offshoring to vibe coders. Saw an article the other day about Indian Amazon devs (well, probably the managers) saying that being forced to use Amazon’s in-house models instead of Claude was hampering their productivity.

There are studies that show the tactile nature of books and hand written notes improves retention and encourages more thought, so it would seem likely that going more digital would have negative impacts on education.

Even that grifter Sam Altman was talking about how he takes notes a while back.

I don’t think LLMs will become AGI, but… planes don’t fly by flapping their wings. We don’t necessarily need to know how animal brains work to achieve AGI, and it doesn’t necessarily have to work anything like animal brains. It’s quite possible if/when AGI is achieved, it will be completely alien.

I’ve seen them installed in pairs that watch each other. I also see them in the vicinity of store security cams or intersection cams. I don’t know of one in my area that isn’t in range of another camera.

At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff.

Lol, the US is a clown show.

I doubt the US would try to occupy or “nation build.” I assume they’d just bomb a bunch of people and do some small operations with special forces. The goal is to probably set their nuclear program back significantly, and try to do the same thing they did in Venezuela (cut the head off of government, replace with someone they can control, and literally steal their oil for the oligarchs).
