It's just somebody training in llm it's not anyone actually following me around.

He's been doing it since before llms were widely available and he just seems a little more human now because he has access to them running on his GPU.

It's still laughably basic but I suppose it's better than when it was just a simple chat bot

I'm using text to speech because I'm too lazy and I'm an old man who spends a lot of time resting his back.

The points I made are valid. Too big to fail means something that can take down the whole economy if you allow it to fail and open AI is not that.

And we need to stop allowing ourselves to be held hostage by too big to fail companies. Because that's really what too big to fail means. It means powerful assholes set themselves up so that if they go down they take all of us with them so that they are untouchable.

But it's not a product either. This is meant to replace every worker on the planet.

As the saying goes AI is designed to allow wealth to access skill without skill accessing wealth.

The 1% have decided to dismantle capitalism. You know that question everyone always asks, who's going to buy their products?

Now imagine you are so wealthy that you are approaching something akin to godhood. But literally all of your wealth comes from these filthy consumers that you absolutely despise as lower class beings.

That's a dependency that you are going to want to desperately break.

So the goal is to automate everything. You will have a very small engineer class that keeps the machines running and a very small class of thugs to keep the engineers in line. Everyone else exists in a state of abject poverty and if their number is get high enough to be a problem you fire bomb them with drones until the populations are back under control. Basically pest control.

It's a new and dystopian type of feudalism. Feudalism without the peasants.

I don't know if the rich will pull it off. But they are absolutely going to try.

And because of that none of it needs to be profitable or because useful products.

AI isn't for you. It's for them.

Means letting them go takes down the rest of the us economy. They're not a bank and only have 8k employees.

They can go by by and it won't matter in the slightest.

Now the fact that we're all basically held hostage by the banks is something we ought to deal with but we a scared of socialisms so that ain't happening

So far after 4 or 5 days they show back up but in the meantime they don't exist and it's safe to say it's only a matter of time before it goes from 4 or 5 days to permanent.

Comment It's always been on the accused (Score 2) 138

You weren't paying attention. I think we are seeing it more because crime rates keep going down but the police keep getting more staff so they've got to start going after people higher up the totem pole.

But the cops have been using nasty little tricks like this for a very very long time and calling it police work. There's a little new technology but in the old days they would just use what's called broken windows policing to hassle poor people in order to hit their quotas for arrests.

When crime rates were higher that was easy to do but his crime rates go down and down and down but the media keeps telling you that Portland is burning we get more and more cops on the street with less and less for them to do.

So they are starting the hassle the general public instead of just the lower classes. That makes the news outside of left wing goofs like John Oliver so you're going to notice it more.

Comment AI belongs to the platform holders (Score 1) 38

As the internet fills up with slop all that free training data will be too contaminated to be useful.

You need to be able to tell the difference between slop and real human generated content.

You can easily do that with advanced user metrics. It's genuinely difficult to fake the erratic behavior of human beings with things like keyboard typing and mouse movement among other things.

But to get that low levels you need to be the platform holder.

So it's no surprise big AI companies are trying to make their own platform because otherwise the eye is going to be long to Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook because they're the only ones who are going to be able to spy on users enough.

There are several studies that show constantly flipping that one hour has long-term negative health impacts.

Also fucking with kids schedules like that as long-term negative consequences for their academic careers.

But hey let's ignore reality because we're angry at individuals.

Oh, and one last thing. The only reason we still have daylight savings is that brick and mortar retail establishments get more sales when those more daylight. That is literally the only reason we are still doing it. If you look at the senators and members of the House preventing this they're all getting a ton of money from brick and mortar retail to make sure it doesn't go away..

And since you brought up opiates people were taking the medication because they had to work or they would be homeless and starve to death and they had to sustained long-term injuries. That's what caused the opioid crisis. People who should have been on disability were forced to work or die so they took heavy duty pain medication to make it through the day.

The real problem with this country is mean spirited old people who make poor media choices so they have no idea what's actually real and what's fake and who enjoy a unpleasant sense of superiority by denigrating people for just not being smart enough and good enough.

People like you are why the basic concept of empathy is under attack. There's a microscopic chance you might snap out of this extremely mean-spirited streak you found yourself in through empathy so you need to be programmed now to reject empathy and basic human decency.

Christ world we live in. The man in charge of America is literally hellbound and said so himself and the Christians love him.

Comment We tried (Score 2, Interesting) 131

Voter suppression is highly effective. Last election 7 million people got denied the vote with common voter suppression tactics like illegal challenges to signatures and registrations and multi-hour wait times to vote in key districts specifically blue districts in America.

It's not to count the votes, once you're at the point where The ballot box is being modified on a wide basis the game is already over and you're not a democracy. What matters is who gets the vote.

And the key thing that people ignore that voter suppression doesn't go after motivated voters anymore. We haven't done that since the 60s and the KKK and the widespread terrorism in the south.

No you go after casual voters. The kind of people who will vote intelligently but who don't have an afternoon to go down on the weekday to the courthouse to prove it's their signature or who can't wait in line 7 hours because they've got kids at home with homework and empty stomachs

Not that it helped, but there's video of the cop and it's stupidly obvious that he's using standard cop tactics to try and f Force a plea deal out of her through intimidation.

I think the real problem was when he was intimidating her she recorded intimidation and to be blunt she's not black so she lawyered up and beat the charges.

Basically this is just classic police abuse so that they can check off a conviction. There's several really nasty cases going on right now of police getting caught with quotas for DUIs and arresting sober people all over the country especially in the south. Tennessee just had a massive one.

The basic problem is every year crime goes down but every year we put more cops on the street because it's an effective political issue for politicians who can't actually run the country.

Too many cops and not enough crime. Sooner or later they have to come after you.

Against the real military because a real military will very quickly have air superiority and can fly planes that drop bombs at altitudes that most drones can't reach. If you have the kind of drones that can reach those planes then you also have enough of a military to maintain some semblance of air superiority.

Russia doesn't have a modern military. They probably should but they don't because of rampant corruption. That's why I ride tag group of drones can drag them to their knees.

This isn't to say that drones aren't changing warfare. Especially for lesser militaries. But we aren't quite at the point of some super duper scientific thing where all the old tactics and equipment are obsolete. You just need a lot more of them and they need to be a lot better than what Russia can field

If you want to bring back actual space travel you're going to have to bring back competency and honesty.

That was kind of problem. Last election say what you love about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris but they never once lied to me. God I wish they had. I'm guessing they don't think the right wing media will allow even the whitest of lies from a Democrat anymore. Still pay attention the Democrats do a lot of things but they have stopped lying to us entirely and did so probably over a decade ago.

And there is nothing less popular with the public than the gods honest truth.
