Yeah, people are fucking stupid. I empirically proved they’d never get a lower price, but they passed because they thought the capitalism knew more than me.

Guess what? Those fuckers didn’t get to deep fry a turkey because they’re stupid. Which I guess is a net positive for turkeys

Thanks for the break down. I researched both based on your post because my beefy gaming desktop is in our living room so my SO can play BG3 on it on a Windows partition (pre-native Linux), so my proxmox testing has taken a sideline.

Based on what you’ve said and what I’ve researched, I should be able to stream anything my PC can handle to both my deck, and to the Anbernic Win600 I bought my SO.

I really just need to max my ram out to 128gb and maybe throw in my R9 390 as a secondary GPU.

Bro, literally all I said was that the training dataset was the same.

I’m well aware of how generative AI works. I’m an industry professional who attended the very first AI/ML training course by a major cloud provider back in 2023 and was instrumental in changing the way they operated the AI side of the house.

But the parallels are there. Neural networks are designed based on the human brain, and vector driven databases aren’t super dissimilar to how neurons interact. A ton of human memory and processing is based on referential data, like gen AI.

Yes, it might not be able to approximate human intelligence and the actual workings of the brain yet, but it’s on its way.

People tend to forget how computers used to take up entire floors of office buildings and a simple hard drive was the size of an industrial washing machine. Gen AI is in its infancy, and while its current state is highly inefficient and flawed, that’s all the reason for it to improve.

Is current gen AI a solution for anything? Absolutely not. Is it a stepping stone towards true artificial intelligence? Absolutely.

I swear, Lemmy users would have been the people complaining that Excel and Word would be the downfall of society. There are absolutely legitimate complaints about the technology, but to completely dismiss it without looking at the nuances of the situation is assanine.

The truth is that it’s entirely possible for a business to ethically use an LLM. I know this for a fact because I was intimately involved in the implementation of one. The entire thing was trained on our proprietary dataset that had been built over 40 years of industry experience, on our servers which were powered by green energy.

I’d call it fraud myself. But retailers have been doing this shit for forever. But the thing is that people love this shit.

JCPenny almost went under when they stopped deceptive pricing tactics like 20 years ago and just offered a really low price.

Shit, I worked at a major sports and outdoors retailer and we had tags that said “Everyday Low Price.” Items tagged with that would never go on sale because they were loss leaders (just barely above wholesale to get people to buy overpriced accessories).

I had customers with the items in their cart ask me if it was on sale, I told them it was the lowest price they were going to find and even price checked other retailers whose sale price was higher than ours, and they put it back every time.

People are really fucking stupid.

Or heavy metal poisoning

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.

I see you subscribe to the Amazon sales policy.

Didn’t they just start shipping grid size salt batteries too?

What made you choose wolf over sunshine?

Exactly. 99.9999% of consumers don’t give a fuck as long as they can still access Facebook and TikTok.

Streisand effect in full force.

What are you talking about? Art is available on the Internet without paying to view it. The same art that the AI models train on.

That’s why I think it’s funny that people hate on AI generated art for using copyrighted artwork for training.

It’s the exact same thing a human would do to learn how to do art.

I stream it from my Plex server.

They are only outliers if you’re factoring in infant deaths, which you already said you weren’t.

That still doesn’t mean 30 was the maximum possible age for humans 30,000 years ago. The ratio of older to younger remains doesn’t mean a whole lot unless you can prove death from old age.

It’s not like we have a plethora of remains to draw these conclusions from.

That paper is garbage, then. People have been regularly living past 38 for thousands upon thousands of years.

And there’s no “design” for biology.

Spiritfarer was one for me. Idk what it was about it, because the character development for the spirits you’re carrying was pretty meh, and the twist at the end was ruined by the achievements early in the game, but that shit had me almost in tears when each person was dropped off at the gate.

Elephant seals definitely have a leader, though.

I think it can also be an autism thing too. My SO is on the spectrum, and I’m definitely ADHD but possibly auDHD, and we were both mature for our age. We’ve always gotten along better with people older than us, especially adults when we were kids.

The biggest trauma I had was my parents getting divorced, but I was always mature for my age.
