I heard some investors were happy for this to happen as too much money was getting spent on datacenters, so a slowdown could be good for them in the long term, like a breather to pile up some more cash to go at it again

AI is just so big of a thing to ever stop, you might get small bumps here and there but you would need to stop it WORLDWIDE for something like this to work, no country will want to be in a permanent disadvantage by not using AI, and even if AI is “banned” how do you actually enforce it? Such a powerful technology would still be used even after the ban, they would just hide it better

It also pisses people off sometimes: “Ugh… Protesters again, now my commute will take 15min longer, what the fuck is wrong with these people… GO TO WORK FUCKING HIPPIES!” As if they were part of the upper class lol, I like how gary from gary’s economics explains it, you are not part of the elite, policies that benefit the elite hurt you, as resources are limited wealth has to come from somewhere, if the rich are getting richer faster that means you also go poor faster

I don’t use twitter, this is satire right? cause if this is a real conversation im glad i was never on twitter to begin with lol

whot? there’s a website for it https://www.ezmdl.com/ it doesn’t allow you to query massive downloads, (you can do playlists, but to do multiple playlists at the same time you gotta duplicate the window and put each playlist in a new tab) but it has no ads and is super simple, a kid could use this one (limited to mp4 and mp3 with no quality options, but still)

In any case, LLMs are impressive, and useful

Back in the day in the Roman Empire, they used a bunch of slaves to build the infrastructure and stuff, like the water systems, you know? And like, later on, those are still valuable and used as a way to just map out the way we do things today. One thing doesn’t necessarily negate the other one. Yes, it can be mass theft, and it can be an advancement at the same time.

Let’s assume rat poison does have a pleasant flavor (prob doesn’t)

The comparison doesn’t work, as this rat poison only gives you a tiny sensory benefit before kiiling you, while AI can be used for a lot of good, be it in the medical field, as a better way to look up information online of any kind, a way for non techy people to interact with the internet in an easier way, to provide better voice to text for people with disabilities, basic tech support or help with quicker queries, to generate mockups with image gen etc etc etc

Doesn’t seem to be the same category as “completely harmful but slightly pleasurable right before the end of it all”, and I haven’t googled, I’m sure a ton of other things would show up that are positives of AI as a technology

It’s a new tech in its infancy. is hacky Yes, it’s annoying. But the whole point of it is to make people who don’t know what they’re doing actually be more able to, you know, do things outside of their own capabilities. That is a huge improvement. Of course, you do have to have some common sense and some logic to work these tools better. To understand they are not perfect. to understand an AI can make mistakes. But I think overall people will be more productive with AI than without it.

For the security part, I think this will improve over time. For the environment? I wouldn’t be so sure. Still, AI is not gonna go away. You gotta try and take its positives, Because if you don’t, people who use AI will just walk over you. I don’t even think it can work in tech anymore if you don’t use AI.

So we’re going to just not use one of the best advancements in technology that we’ve had in like so long just because it’s used for nefarious purposes? Wouldn’t it be better to fix those issues for the AI to be controlled by just a small elite of people? What’s the solution for you? Do you think they’re gonna just get rid of AI? I think the Pandora’s box has already been opened. AI is not going away. We should find a way to just use it better. You know?

I mean I was waiting to see how shitty the apple tv neuromancer adaptation would be next year, but at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up pushing random Timmys into becoming techies and netrunners. Life imitates art I guess.

Not sure if that info is available or even possible to filter out, but i think this happens in every social media site

According to FediDB there has been a 1.7% growth this month. Meaning 244,051 new accounts have been created on fediverse on the past 30days. Almost 250thousand people in a month. I’m sure this is completely coincidental

I joined Matrix today, It’s been 4-5 hours, I’ve seen multiple other users joining aswell, asking for what client is the best one or how to do X. For sure a lil exodus is happening.

Having kids is a big responsibility, I’ve seen ton of people who have kids that couldn’t even take care of a cat… Sadly the ones that have the most kids are the same ones that shouldn’t, and the ones that are responsible enough to choose not to have kids are the ones that would actually take care of their kids properly.

I use a handful of reddits, usually a few of those lewd ones for like hooking over over voice chat and stuff, kinda fun for that ig, but like as you said, most people there are kinda dumb, most conversations I have there are bland, boring, and end in a day or two at most with ghosting. (met a few cool people tho, its just like… 5% of all the ones I talk to)

After all the dumb changes to reddit and surveillance in general I decided to try and look for an alternative, If I knew it was this easy to get into lemmy I would’ve done it SO much sooner. Also i think this is my first day here? And every time I posted something I got a TON of responses, like I could argue even more attention than I would get on reddit, also the responses were better? Like what? How? There’s way less users here… Just imagine if Lemmy grew just a bit more, doesn’t need to beat reddit at all, just to grow a bit more (with good users ofc) That would be insane, Im having way more fun here already, the community is so much better, the only thing im missing/haven’t found yet, is those r4r reddit-like forums where you get to meet people to dm and stuff

While i understand it it’s hard to wrap my head around the glutes not activating when they are weak, like don’t weak muscles activate more? But maybe like you said I should isolate them more, but I don’t have a gym so no equipment really, anything you’d recommend? I know you have bodyweight exercises but will these be enough? or do they just work kinda like cardio?

I don’t have a bar, im using a 6lt water water jug that i hug around my chest, prob gonna upgrade a bit filling it up with sand when i get better

damn called out for being single on my first post huh? hshshs, I’ll try this tho and see if it improves
