  I wonder how long AI will function when it starts feeding on AI generated junk data. Like a photocopy of a photocopy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  We can send them to work camps like during the Depression.

  I’d like to read the stackademic link without signing up.

  I wish they’d replace the executives first.

  This is right up there with the Louvre security being connected to the internet and was hackable. Maybe some old fashioned alarms and guards would’ve been better.

  Can’t just unplug them?

  I wouldn’t say the “entire US economy” is AI based.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Gov jobs still have them

  Buy low when everything crashes and wait for it to recover in 3-5 yrs.

  I could say anything is a crutch that removes the burden from our minds. Calculators remove the burden of doing basic math and map apps remove the burden of maintaining a mental map. Both of these can result in a person who can’t independently do basic calculations or navigate and won’t understand the methodology behind the calculations. Now if this is a problem is open to debate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People were ignorant in previous centuries because they didn’t know better. Today they are willfully ignorant in spite of having the facts available.

  It is also inherently weak. With a sphere it is all compression. With a cylinder you get compression and tension.

  So his goal was to make a deep sea taxi of sorts. Rich guy affordable and capable of carrying more than 1 or 2 people at a time. Based on what I’ve read and seen he had two main reasons for the design:

  1. Titanium/steel would’ve been too heavy and required a different design.
  2. A sphere has too little volume to carry the number of passengers he wanted so he used a cylinder.

  His use of CF was not only mostly untested but where it had been tried it was found lacking. It is strong in one direction but not others. The manufacturing process was very difficult and fraught with issues. Making such a large component that thick meant many many wrappings that had to be precisely done. For instance, they would get bulges that had to be reduced immediately or they’d amplify with more wrappings. So they would grind down those spots and wrap over them. The problem here is now you’ve broken the fibers and created end points and fracture initiation points. Things like the junction between the metal end caps and the CF tube were also an issue.

  He was very cocky about how often you could reuse the vessel and tried to be cheap on testing which would involve sacrificing vessels. At 5,600 PSI small things that you could ignore in, say, an airplane structure, become wildly amplified.

  Personally I didn’t see the point of the whole trip except for bragging rights. You’d be watching most things on a monitor anyway and your porthole was this little, very thick, acrylic hole. You might as well send a robot down and watch on a screen on the ship.

  Trying to do extreme engineering on the cheap.

  Taking bets on the last data recorded on it. I’m going with “0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0…”

  It seems hostility is the norm across most social media.

  I remind people as much as possible that it is a federal sales tax.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually they should close that loophole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  4chan is likely using this to take it to the courts.

  Fine the phone company for allowing calls they don’t like.

  were Conservatives and therefore arrogant and of the opinion that if they don’t like something, it’s realities responsibility to reconfigure itself.

  Which is exactly what they have done with tariffs in the US.

  Our most advanced tech is dependent on some of our most old tech.

  The bitcoin miners have hopefully dropped off because they were chewing up gobs of energy too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This would be 99% of businesses at this point.

  We are a nation of man/woman childs. Petulant little kids who don’t want to grow up and be responsible for anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck AI and these energy guzzling data centers. For decades we were told to conserve power and such and now all of those savings are being sucked up, and more, by these centers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a difference between intellectual intelligence and emotional. People have needs that intellectual responses don’t satisfy such as “what happens to us after death?”, “how do I deal with the loss of a loved one?”, “does anyone care about me?”, “is there more to the universe than just random chance?”, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone else believing differently plants a seed of doubt in their minds that drives them mad.
