It learns, sure… and it’s already learned as much as it can from the entire internet, and still can’t run a Taco Bell drivethrough.
Apparently in the AI world, they are expecting it’s capabilities to double every 7 months. I saw a list of steps
Yeah, and in the cryptocurrency world, they predicted that Bitcoin would currently be worth $200k - $300k, potentially as high as 400k - 1mil in high-greed environments.
Instead, it is almost exactly at the value of their “Bitcoin Dead” level lol
I would give less credence to the opinions of people whose financial interests are vested in you believing AI is magic.
It’s learning the basics right now, but humans are training the AI to the point that it will replace them, then the next level of humans will train the next level until replaces them
Humans are more than just chatbots. Therefore even the most advanced chatbot will never replace us.
Which is not to say that I think humans are the supreme possible intelligence, or that machine intelligence could never surpass us. I just do not believe that the current LLM’s we have are capable of achieving anything resembling actual thought, just a decently convincing mimicry of it.
It’s also not to say that I think no jobs will be lost, but I think they’ll be situations like where a QA department reduces its workforce by 75% but then the remaining 25% are still expected to oversee the AI’s output. It’s still a shit outcome economically (though I’d also reference that quote, “Imagine how badly we had to fuck up to create a world where the robots taking all the jobs is a bad thing”), but it’s not the same as actually rivaling us in cognition or intellectual capacity.
In a few years, well all be replaced, except a lucky few who do the maintenance
And a few years before 2016, everyone who bought Bitcoin was going to be driving a Lamborghini.
I still see more Priuses and Corollas on the road these days.

Piggybacking on this to say the vast majority of “a tree planted for every _______” schemes are also greenwashing bullshit, including Ecosia if I’m not mistaken.
Most plant monocrops with no regard for how a natural, healthy forest functions and generally take no care to make sure the trees actually reach maturity or even adolescence.
There are exceptions, some companies who actually do it right (though carbon credits are a bullshit poison concept regardless), but I imagine most big companies use the corner-cutting options.

from a legal standpoint, authorities frown upon such behaviour;
🤡 “the people who molest and murder children on islands wouldn’t like it if I got something for free, so I won’t”

I agree with the first two paragraphs, but as for the third, I think you overestimate the capability of chatbots on steroids. It couldn’t even run a Taco Bell drivethrough.
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 5 days ago:
I doubt it. Nothing contrary to the interests of corporations ever happens in America.
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 6 days ago:
UK is a very different story
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 6 days ago:
instagram will […] add age-verification
Judge Bryan Biedscheid is slated to hold a trial without a jury on the state’s claims that Meta created a public nuisance that harmed state residents’ health and safety. The state will ask Biedscheid to direct Meta
Listen, I cannot wait for the day that everyone stops using Meta products and Mark Zuckerberg is turned into longpork wagyu in his bunker, but the latter statement does not seem to support the initial claim.
I wouldn’t hold my breath for any changes which will meaningfully impact the profitability of Meta.
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 6 days ago:
As a regular of the old-internet, including hellsites such as VampireFreaks dot com, I promise it takes more than that for the government to care. VF was the site of two? vampire-inspired teenage murderers and a few other horrors, including one of the admins defending the presence of a convicted pedophile who was banned from using Facebook.
As for why, my assumption is that you cannot fine an entity which is barely profitable. I mean you can but you won’t get anything, so they’re unlikely to bother.
- Comment on Meta found liable in child exploitation case 6 days ago:
Phrased in another way, it’s equivalent to if you had $1,618 in the bank and were fined $0.30.
- Comment on Wikipedia has banned AI-generated text, with two exceptions 1 week ago:
Relying on it otherwise is stupid and just proves instantly that you are incompetent.
Relying on it in any circumstances (though medical stuff is understandable if you’re simply too poor or don’t have access) while it is exhausting water supplies and polluting the planet is stupid and instantly proves that you are stupid and inconsiderate.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
The person I was responding to said
I personally love him for being the same guy all this years.
My point was not necessarily that he needs to be excommunicated from humanity, but that they might want to reconsider whether him “being the same guy all this years” is a good thing
(I do not actually give a single shit about Pewdiepie in any fashion positive or negative)

Better to be surveilled by a foreign entity than a domestic one. Otherwise all those tax dollars going to ““defense”” are being wasted.

The big bubble. May it pop before we do.

Nuclear war, it’s gonna recommend nuclear war. Or at least threatening it at a bare minimum.

If you have to use any, like ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO for some reason, then use Deepseek. Glory to the CCP robot.

I’m not an economist, so I don’t know shit about fuck (though most economists don’t either tbf), but some people are comparing this to the railway bubble. Shit’s (potentially) so bad that they don’t even have a comparison from within our lifetimes to point to.

It’s gonna suck for the working class WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than the people who will lose their fortunes as a result of the bubble popping
sorry
it always does
Michael Saylor, one of the biggest owners of one of the other “doesnt actually do anything” bubbles - Bitcoin - is a great example. He made a fortune during the dot com bubble.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 3 weeks ago:
I only have a desktop right now, but I’m leaning towards buying an actual PC for gaming and video editing, keeping that on Windows just for simplicity’s sake, then switching my desktop to Linux and using that for all non-gaming and non-editing purposes.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
- Comment on California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup 4 weeks ago:
The law does not require photo ID uploads or facial recognition, with users instead simply self-reporting their age, setting AB 1043 apart from similar laws passed in Texas and Utah that require “commercially reasonable” verification methods, such as government-issued ID checks.
I hate Newsom but this seems like a non-issue.

Motorola gets a little bit of love from me because they were (maybe still are?) the only ones who allowed me to shout “COMRADE MOTO!” to wake my phone up
