Urgh, I couldn’t even get through the whole article, it’s too disgusting. What a surprise that yet another “no politics at work”-guy turns out to support fascism!

You’ll have to endlessly scroll Amazon and decide whether to buy the identical product from brand YDAKVKR or BNRTGRIV, reading ALL the fake reviews.

At least we’re going to get some pretty neat looking cooling systems!

If this bubble takes off, looking forward to the heights they will go to regarding that.

Always so many coincidences.

Huh, I wonder who this Krauss guy is, haven’t heard of him.

*open wikipedia*

*entire subsection titled “Allegations of sexual misconduct”*

*close wikipedia*

Is there already a word for “an industry which has removed itself from reality and will collapse when the public’s suspension of disbelief fades away”?

Calling this just “a bubble” doesn’t cut it anymore, they’re just peddling sci-fi ideas now. (Metaverse was a bubble, and it was stupid as hell, but at least those headsets and the legless avatars existed.)

So money moves in a circle between Cursor and AI model companies, while still generating costs far higher than what users pay. How is this going to help with anything, regarding finances.

Considering other life might also be unattractive as it could reduce the feeling of their own importance.

Can you recommend any resources on those topics?

Well you have to assume they need $29 million alone for humans doing color correction to make it less yellow

Sigh. Love how he claims it’s worth it for “learning”…

We already have a thing for learning, it’s called “books”, and if you want to learn compiler basics, $14000 could buy you hundreds of copies of the dragon book.

Fascinating how that product page is full of marketing fluff, but nowhere does it say what this actually is…? What does it do? It’s some kind of… memory expansion? But what’s beneath the big heatsink then? All they say is that it’s somehow amazing:

In the age of local AI, GIGABYTE AI TOP is the all-round solution to win advantages ahead of traditional AI training methods. It features a variety of groundbreaking technologies that can be easily adapted by beginners or experts, for most common open-source LLMs, in anyplace even on your desk.

A variety of groundbreaking technologies, uh huh, okay then. In so many ways this is the perfect companion product for AI.

Look, we’ve almost solved counting letters in several types of berries. Generating instant solutions to global warming will become possible right after that, it’s only logical.

Why is it always transphobia with these kinds of people… is it because they feel racism is too risky? So they need a different outlet for hating on people based on what they believe is “science”?

Procreate, a digital painting software for iPads, has not just avoided AI, they even have an anti-GenAI statement on their website.

When an 8 year old thinks an AI is “far more knowledgeable than me about reasonable human behavior” that could lead a person to self-reflection. Could.

I once randomly found Hossenfelder’s YT channel, it had a video about climate change and someone linked it somewhere, I didn’t know who she was. That video seemed fine, it correctly pointed out the urgency of the matter, and while I don’t know enough climate science to say much about the veracity of all its content, nothing stuck out as particularly weird to me. So I looked at some other videos from the channel… and boooooy did I quickly discover some serious conspiracy-style nonsense stuff. Real “the cabal of physicists are suppressing the truth” vibes, including “I got this email which I will read to you but I can’t tell you who it’s from, but it’s the ultimate proof” (both not quotes, just how I’d summarize the content…)

And the language’s main data container is a kind of stack, but to push or pop values, you have to wrap them into “boats” which have to cross a “river”, with extra rules for ordering and combination of values.

cognitive forehead strap-on

ahahahaha, thank you that’s perfect
