'Having a monopoly isn't good enough. We also want to be above the law.'

In principle I think it's safe to mostly ignore race as long as you focus on class. Example, black people are disproportionately working class, so any policy that helps the conditions and opportunities of the working class also partly addresses racial inequities.

Late stage capitalism is defined by financialisation. You know it's bad when finance starts trying to dictate to the real economy rather than service it.

I spotted a third. I expect it to get full and equal amount of cuddles or I will be very disappointed in you.

No, Russia is not at war with Britain. Morons like this need to shut the fuck up.
Military advisors need to give sober advice, not hyperbole. If they can't do that they should resign.

I support burning these things down. No redeeming contribution to society. It's not like a data centre even employs many people.

The only thing funnier than the Epstein post is the absolute instant regret after.

I respect this guy but he's got the wrong end of the stick. Has he met corporate America?
It's not like they ever wanted to have diversity. Trump just gave them permission to be as racist as they already wanted. There's no appeasement.

EHRC officials may perceive a reduction in kneecaps, but this is only because they've been previously misled as to how many FUCKING kneecaps they're entitled to

I'm fine with high agency males going at it. I'm just not that way inclined myself.

Thank god, some fun news for a change.

Lol, I have noticed that Musk is almost constantly wearing sunglasses now because his eyes are bloodshot.
Either this guy goes to rehab or he's dead within a year.
Guess what I'm hoping for.

I always try new tech. Some ML applications are amazing.It's just that LLMs are shit.
I wanted to find a model number of a part the other day and used Google Lens to look it up using the old one. The image search worked ok as usual but Gemini chimed in with some utter nonsense about a sci-fi show.

A crisis of entitlement amongst white men of a certain class.
Believing you are entitled to anything, be it a job, qualification or even love, is the biggest barrier to getting it.

I bought a Samsung TV when I moved into my current house and regretted it ever since. They put adverts on the main media menu that take up most of the screen. I paid hundreds for this thing but apparently that's not sufficient to deserve a user-focused experience.

If I have to choose I'm backing the crazy libertarian guys as their plans always instantly faceplant with reality anyway.

It's like a toddler worrying about how they will afford to retire. Okay, little buddy, maybe focus on learning to use the potty first.

They're in the final stretch and up against some heavy weight opponents, but the ball is in their court and they're eager to score.

The model cannot lie. The model produces results depending on the input and its weightings. These results may or may not correlate with reality depending on the data it is trained on.
Call it an 'error'. That's not entirely true but it's more accurate than 'lie'.

How much less lethal could that money make the care system?

It's against site rules to post misleading information.

Unrealistic. AI cannot replace workers since it can't actually understand anything. The best it can do is speed some tasks. This is a shame because the aging demographics of countries are going to lead to a massive labour shortage.

A lot of people are going to look very silly when they look back at this hype.

The creeps in power are going to act as if this is some kind of revelation even though people have been protesting and shouting about it for the last year.
Reminds of Iraq and Afghanistan and how politicians argue they could not have known it was bad even though people protested in their thousands.

This is an ignorant comment and ignores past and current conflicts around the world even within living memory. Ukraine is bad but it could get much, much worse.

The slapping of the 'AI' name on machine learning models in order to hoodwink people into buying into a bunch of smoke and mirrors is the worst thing to happen to tech in my recollection.
Machine learning is useful but calling it AI implies capabilities it simply does not have.

What threat is there here? Russia's economy and industrial capacity is a small fraction of what Europe can muster. You're being ridiculous.

All this is rather silly. We are in an unprecedented time in which the UK is almost completely unthreatened by state actors.
Meanwhile it's not like we're short of other things that need investment.

If applied only to YouTube commenters this might be ethical.

I really don't believe EA has ethical concerns about anything for a second.

It's not a really a question of standards but what one can get away with and still be seen as real news. Haaretz is forced to report to an audience that is more aware of what is happening so they are unable to simply divorce themselves from reality the same way western outlets can.

It's typical hype nonsense. All of these people are well aware of just how limited these models are but they have to pretend they have terrifying potential to secure funding. No one is going to invest in them if they talk down their products.

Sure, that has nothing at all to do with the state of the economy and the fact that the US is currently being run by an unpredictable moron determined to disrupt trade and market fundamentals...
I graduated in a recession too. It sucks but they will find jobs eventually.

Lol. Sure thing. I have noticed that whether or not you are taken in by tech hype correlates strongly with age.
Millennials and younger people mostly see straight through these conmen.
I think your generation is still in shell shock from the internet and terrified of being caught off guard again.

I think we will see some profitable wider adoption of gen AI if it becomes trivially cheap to use in lower value tasks, but even then there is a line beyond which it's better to use traditional automation.
It can't replace employees any more than previous types of bot could.
