that’s quite dishonest because LLMs have had all manner of facts pre-trained on it with datacenters all over the world catering to it. If you think it can learn in the real world without many many iterations and it still needs pushing and proding on simple tasks that humans perform then I am not convinced.
It’s like saying a chess playing computer program like stockfish is a good indicator of intelligence because it knows to play chess but you forgot that the human chess players’ expertise was used to train it and understand what makes a good chess program.

“embodies the elegance of simplicity”
corporate speak that doesn’t mean anything. Also If you are talking to the creator of a programming language they already know that. That was the goal of the language.

- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 2 weeks ago:
Billionaires don’t have billions in their bank accounts. That’s not how wealth works.
This is a strawman argument used by dishonest business types who think everybody else is dumb about how wealth works. Nobody is saying billionaires have billions in their bank accounts.
The vast majority of it is tied to property and businesses
Right you are on the same page as the rest of the people arguing against the existence of billionaires.
The number of properties held by a person should be limited to one. Ideally having a clause saying that it has to be on rent for a regulated price. And individuals cannot own a majority of business unless it’s a one man job. I would like the world to head towards worker owned cooperatives instead of 0.01% hoarding 90% of the wealth.
Thinking that just because one could comfortably retire that they should is kind of like telling a runner to stop running after having completed their first marathon. They’re a runner - runners run.
So the entire neo-liberal thesis is that we should reward psychopaths. That’s kind of a non-starter for sustainable living.
A person who became a billionaire views making money the same way. It’s what they do. It’s what they’re good at and derive meaning from.
I can’t begin to tell you the enormous amount of problems with this statement with regards to somebody’s mental health. You can’t be a billionaire without causing suffering to other people. Without leaving somebody else with the short end of the stick. Kindness is alien to people who think this is okay and should be encouraged. This level of worship of money is quite deviant because civilization evolved and thrives on cooperation, not on some misconstrued notion that a single person can derive so much “value” such that they can demand 99% or more of wealth.>

believe what? That he was convicted or that sexual exploitation continues because of the power difference between the perpetrator and the victim and hence they may not find courage to step forward for fear of backlash from ignorant people?

Epstein was a well connected powerful man. Nobody would believe them. Heck, You still refuse to believe her even after epstein was killed in his prison cell where he was put after being convicted of being a sex trafficker alongside glislaine maxwell.

I didn’t get that vibe from the parent comment. the reaction was to the motivations of the rich fatcats who aren’t happy with the obscene wealth they already have. Not American Exceptionalism.

This ignores obnoxious hurdles in place to make the free tier as shitty as possible so people buy.

it may not seem like it but… being offline is the best thing you can do to your mental health. No need to overwhelm your brain with stuff happening elsewhere when you already have to deal with stuff closer to home. Being aware is generally better than being ignorant but it shouldn’t disable your daily life.
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 6 months ago:
its a paid platform where engagement (i.e bickering in the comments section) is near absent. And the content is allowed to address themes that make main stream media blush.
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 6 months ago:
taking a guess but I already saw some other comments on another thread mention this: The chart boys in any corps will see Engagement == Profit. Thus they will tune their recommendations solely for that. And if you aren’t bothered about properly policing your video upload platform the end result is highly divisive content thats “not boring”.
Divisive content makes people angry so they engage in comments.
i used to be on reddit. And I used to get into “debates” that devolved into a slap fight and make me angry about the people who intentionally or unintentionally riled me up with outrageous (real or my own perception) opinions.
While lemmy also has slap fights, I feel like the lack of an “algorithm” tuned for engagement prevents continuous fueling of the fire, metaphorically speaking.

yes way. I have seen it with my own father. And the saddest part is they got this from religious rightwing media and have never ever interacted or had an opportunity to interact with the out-group that they are told to fear. Oh and, I am not from the 1st world. This shit is everywhere.
