Unlike fusion reactors AI has a pretty convincing “demo” in my opinion.
On a first glance the output of LLMs and image / video generator models is very convincing and the artifacts and mistakes appear “small” for people that don’t know much about the technical details. So it’s easy to be convinced by “we’ll just fix those little bugs and be done in half a year” promises.
EV is a similar story: electric bikes and radio controlled cars and drones work great so it’s conceivable that bigger cars and trucks would work too with a “little” battery and motor tweaking.
Nuclear fusion though isn’t really tangible yet. For laypeople or seems there is no progress at all. Every now and then some scientists report that they can hold a fusion reaction a little longer or more effective but it’s not “tangible”. That’s probably also holding back a lot of investors which with all their resources mostly still seem to invest based on a gut feeling.

As far as I know fusion energy never got that level of hype and amount of money thrown at it. I mean the research reactors are super expensive but still on another level.

I don’t know. In the Netherlands they do beschuit met muisjes, maybe somewhere else they’re heating up cubes?

- Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone 2 weeks ago:
I used to work for a J2ME mobile games developer. Fun times but it was wild west. They didn’t properly standardize the API so each mobile phone had its own glitches, incompatibilities and extra APIs and the emulatos were not very accurate either. That meant we basically had to have pretty much all phones there to test the games.
- Comment on Intelligent Design 2 weeks ago:
It might be intelligent design but not perfect design. I mean we build stuff with flaws too and consider ourselves intelligent.
I mean if God or some space alien was really good with biotech and had these parts laying around the result is pretty good. Most humans function for several decades before stuff breaks. The earth is also a pretty stable ecosystem.
Both much better than we could build.

Ah, right… I forgot the flying things. Yes, for some reason they’re also called Schneider

Yes but without any synchronization mechanism and full of dirty writes and reads.

We call them “Schneider” (tailor) in Germany. Or at least some creature looking similar to this one.

I recently went through that scenario with DeepSeek, that was fun

LLMs learn to predict the next token following a set of other tokens they pay attention to. You could try to sabotage it by associating unrelated things with each other. One of the earlier ChatGPT versions had a reddit username associated with lots of different stuff, it even got it’s own token. SolidGoldMagikarp or something like that. Once ChatGPT encountered this token it pretty much lost it’s focus and went wild.

I eat them from time to time but I don’t really like the taste. The sauce is super sweet like ketchup but without the tang. It’s very boring and bland and no matter what spices I add it somehow doesn’t get better. Really weird.

I didn’t think it was too uncommon. B/W images where often “crisper” and also seemed more artsy. I also remember quite a few B/W TV sets around in the late 80s.

I read it once and really didn’t like it at all. It’s mostly about social status and the sex stuff has fantastic maneuvers like “punch the woman on the chest and breasts, they love that”

Cheap is not the case everywhere. In Germany it’s cheap, in the Netherlands it’s much more expensive and in Croatia a bottle is like 25 Euro
