In a better world citizens would collectively own their utilities.
Or no one would and citizens would get to vote on what said utilities do. Same difference.
No need to seize anything when selfish parasitic bastards can’t get their filthy paws on it in the first place.
We’re taking about someone who bankrupted four (4!) casinos. Some of them multiple times.
He might be a successful grifter (though that’s probably more due to luck and being a useful and extremely easy to buy or convince puppet than any kind of talent), but a shrewd businessman he’s most definitely not.
Gympie-gympie tree, maybe, but I’d have to think about it.
…
Nah, I’m fairly certain I’d take the pain tree.
I have no doubt “AI” companies are sitting on studies proving their shit causes irreversible brain damage, much like tobacco cartels used to sit on studies proving their shit caused cancer.
By the time the bubble pops and their shit gets properly regulated it’ll have crippled a whole generation (on top of all the other damage like destroying the Internet, causing unfathomable damage to science, culture, and society in general, and infecting any information produced after this shit became commonly used).
I have very little hope for our civilization being able to survive this self inflicted disaster (and given how we’ve squandered natural resources and caused a runaway greenhouse effect that’ll make our world mostly uninhabitable for humans without massive industrial effort that will be impossible after our fall, no new civilization will be rising after this dark age). But hey, at least some sociopath CEOs will have made a lot of money out of it. Who cares if they murdered the future for their short term profit.
1k RAM
Damn, you beat my Dragon 32 with a whole 32KB.
Much more limited than the BBC Micro B, though, would’ve loved to have one of those, though at that age I probably wouldn’t have been able to appreciate it.
I only really got into computers when I got a 286.
4 gb or less
Back in my day 640KB were more than enough for everyone!¹
Nonsense.
It does a great job of scamming idiots (mainly investors and CEOs) and lining the pockets of the scammers selling it, which is all it’s designed for.
It’s 100% fulfilling its purpose, it’s just not the purpose they claim to be selling it for.
They’re also older than the North Star (Polaris).
many (e.g. bears) have internal parasites that’ll kill you dead
Hence his infamous brainworm, though tragically he survived it.
I assume the system is working properly and 25% of drivers just drive as erratically sober as the other 75% blind drunk.
And that’s among the ones who managed to get to the study. The percentage would be higher if it took into account the ones who got lost or crashed on the way.
The rules mistakenly assumed that politicians would always be intelligent people with the interests of the nation in mind.
They didn’t account for people voting for moronic crooks who openly intended to pillage and rape the nation for their own profit.
To be fair, miasma theory made sense and was completely logical, before microscopes.
They knew about actual lethal gases, and ones that had different effects on the body. They knew there were gases they couldn’t yet detect, as they were still discovering new ones. They knew rotting stuff produced all kind of gases and stenchs.
Hell, the theory is still pretty much valid for radon, though for reasons they couldn’t have possibly imagined.
And at the same time, the idea that animals could get small enough to be invisible, and to invade the human body, was absurd.
It came as quite a surprise when the microscope was invented and every single drop of water turned out to be a whole ecosystem teeming with life, and we turned out to be precariously balanced colonies of microscopic cells, also inhabited by a whole bacterial ecosystem teeming with both friends and foes.
And then came viruses, which are downright absurd to the point that we’re still figuring out where they fit in the tree of life, and whether they’re alive or not.
And prions, which are the stuff of horror science fiction yet completely logical when you think about how proteins work, and how easily they might sometimes not.
Miasma theory wasn’t correct, sure, but it was definitely simpler, and made much more sense than the mess reality turned out to be.
Yes. This guy literally eats roadkill. And brags about it.
AGI might or might not be inevitable, but LLMs are very evidently not a path leading to it.
If someone really believes AGI is possible and will solve everything, they should be the first waging active war against this generation of “AI”, though at this point it’s almost certainly too late already.
The future has been murdered for short term profit, and once the bubble pops it’ll take ages before anyone invests in anything remotely related to AI again, despite LLMs having absolutely nothing to do with AI.
Not that investment would do any good during the dark ages that are to come while we sift through the remaining slop to try to find any remaining fragments of actual information, science, and culture.
Their capability to drop off a Wendy’s (or a McDonald’s in Trump’s case) is not (yet) in question.
Their capability to keep it supplied is.
(Specifically their capability to make sure the money intended for that purpose is sufficient and ends up fulfilling that purpose, instead of lining some parasite’s pockets.)
There’s a species of bee that makes honey out of meat (carrion).
I’m quite certain they wouldn’t touch that thing, whatever it is.
It’s not AI, it’s LLMs.
I didn’t say Open AI’s or Nvidia’s, nor their investors (though, to be fair, Nvidia will probably still end up profiting once the bubble pops, the bastards; after all, in a gold rush the ones selling the mining equipment are the ones who end up making a profit).
I specifically mentioned the scammers on top, who will grab the cash and run as soon as it starts popping.
The economy will end up worse than in the 1929 crash, sure, but not for those bastards.
So, yeah, it can, and it is, because it’s what the whole scam was designed for.
Filling up Jensen Huang’s pockets. Also Sam Altman and others, but mostly Huang.
I’d plan to download even more torrents of netflix series, but it’s not like they’ve got anything worth watching anyway.
