I’m actually okay with semi-centralized. Most people need that to trust a platform, but it still gives you the option to self host if you really care.

It’s to be expected. My theory is that millennials grew up late enough that they had access to the early Internet, so they got exposed to all kinds of strange cultures and had to learn tolerance and acceptance.

The younger generations grew up with an internet dominated by mega corporations, and algorithmic feeds. Unfortunately hostile states and other bad actors have been very effective at exploiting these mechanisms, causing a strong right wing shift simply due to exposure.

Your brain is strongly colored by what it consumes, of course.

Of course! It’s not like animals have jet engines!

Human brains are merely the proof that such energy efficiencies are possible for intelligence. It’s likely we can match or go far beyond that, probably not by emulating biology directly. (Though we certainly may use it as inspiration while we figure out the underlying principles.)

So they took funding from a crypto capital fund, but with the expectation that blockchain would never be added to the product. Seems fairly okay to me.

As always, technology doesn’t change human behaviors, it just speeds them up.

Heck, Obi Wan should’ve known more about Leia than Yoda. Maybe Yoda DID mean Ahsoka…

You should research the definition of AI then. Even the A* pathfinding algorithm was historically considered AI. It’s a remarkably broad field.

Even Zuckerberg admits that trying to scale LLMs larger doesn’t work because the energy and compute requirements go up exponentially. There must exist a different architecture that is more efficient, since the meat computers in our skulls are hella efficient in comparison.

Once we figure that architecture out though, it’s very likely we will be able to surpass biological efficiency like we have in many industries.

Right, so AIs don’t really know what words are. All they see are tokens. The tokens could be words and letters, but they could also be image/video features, audio waveforms, or anything else.

Do NOT lick the airlock

Elon almost certainly earned votes for Trump by

1. Funding a shit ton of election ads
2. Using Twitter to push propaganda

Or anything freeze dried!

And because they often are included in food products, and there’s a fair amount of regulation around mixing non-food with food.

We’ve known about mealworms eating polystyrene for several years now. Is there any new information worth looking at here?

I dunno if this changes any of the UX paradigms, but I heard GIMP is about to release a huge major version.

Murder is relatively easy. Avoiding the consequences is not.

Yeah, you need 38 states to ratify it. If we go by governors (so I don’t have to do a ton of research, but it’s probably representative of legislatures), only 27 states are Republican controlled. Good fucking luck getting a partisan amendment through.

Constitutional amendments also have to be ratified by the states. That’s not trivial.

It’s in the constitution. It’ll take a lot more than that.

The USA became dominant by letting the world fight itself to ruins, then entering into the war late and declaring victory. TWICE.

Being the only mostly undestroyed nation after a world war is immensely profitable.
