You don't have an understanding of neural networks at a mathematical level.

This especially shows up when you try to argue that rocks can think, like you did last time.

Trump doesn't have the will to deploy military strength. His actions so far have been performance theater (ie, pick on small countries in hopes that Russia and China will be afraid).

It's not learning, it's just using past conversation as input.

Learning would be if it adjusted its internal weights.

You think Microsoft can survive enough to snap up OpenAI in this potential downfall? Or does Oracle not let that happen? Google and MS seem too big to fail but OpenAI at least I can't make that case for.

"The Denver Treat" just doesn't have the same ring to it

And to be fair, I have no idea what that is yet either, so far all the "real world" type devices have been big flops and the public reputation of the whole thing is iffy at best. One thing it doesn't seem to be is just chatbots, they're very impressive already so I don't think making them "even better" is going to move the needle.

For me personally the thing that's hard to shake is the trust factor of it. I don't think I can trust them to give accurate answers and information, both by either the lack of context or hallucinations or outright manipulation by the operators of the service, either by greed ("This chat session brought to you by Oreo cookies if you're wondering why all the responses hint at their deliciousness") or just straight up represent personal preferences (Grok)

My feeling for all of these companies and OpenAI that those diversification projects they just put on hold, they are all looking for the one thats really going to capture the mass public zeitgeist of sorts. In business AI is moving for sure but to the general public there really isn't that breakthrough yet. The money going into AI is trying by force of nature to make it as large as when the WWW first took off or like when smartphones took off.

OpenAI thinks it's Apple in 2009 but there's no App Store yet that turned the iPhone from a very cool smartphone to "everyone and their mother has one". They haven't found that real world mass public AI breakthrough yet. The Jony Ive thing in particular I bet they have a lot riding on on being the new thing everyone will want to have.
 

It used to take decades for companies to fully enshitify themselves. AI truly is an increase in productivity!

And the only reasons they were able to do that was the productive society that they, you, me and everyone else plays a hand in creating

I hear all this, you know, 'Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.' No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody. You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did.

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

Well first it was just a figure of speech but second I have no particular issue with Dell hardware. I'm not a fan but they've been perfectly cromulent systems when I've used them (i'm a Thinkpad fan myself)

But with something like this much like many have done with Target this year it's just a little nudge from "ambivalent" to "actively avoid"

Meanwhile Biden actually reduced childhood poverty and Republicans stripped this program away are when replacing it with something of 1/8 the dollars and claiming a victory lap:

The expanded child tax credit briefly slashed child poverty. Here's what else it did

In July 2021, for example, with the first monthly payment, Parolin and Curran write that "the monthly child poverty rate fell from 15.8 percent to 11.9 percent. The first Child Tax Credit payment in July 2021, on its own, reduced the monthly child poverty rate by... 26 percent."

Also hold on, this is even more ridiculous then at first glance. You lead off with talking about the "balance of power" then complain about court orders *from the Judicial Branch* and pretend like these are court orders from the Democratic party. We truly are cooked.

Uhhh James Comey, Hunter Biden, Ann Selzer and I could rattle off another dozen or two that might have a disagreement with that statement. Biden also didn't weaponize the DoJ like this you silly goose, this should have be grounds for removal alone, the fact you won't even acknowledge what a miscarriage of our justice system this is par for the course, but uhhhh, "both sides"

Trump accidentally posted message pressuring Pam Bondi to charge his enemies, source says

I wonder how the UK got into their mess? Could it have been giving the keys to dumbass Tories and folks like Boris Johnson for 15 years? They let a huckster like Farage dupe them into Brexit? You're one the ones pushing us there.

One side tried to rig the election and when it didn't work tried to interrupt the transfer of power and threatened to kill the VP. These are not the same. I'm not gonna get pretend centrists crazy-make me and pretend all these things didnt happen.

Why listen to an AC who can't even be assed to reply to the right comment? Open the schools!!!

Me when I totally understand how government budgets and taxes work. Open the schools!!!

"Soros Foundation to Donate $6.25 Billion To Encourage Families To Claim 'Biden Accounts'" and watch Republicans heads explode. It would be 24/7 on Fox.
