For people, the internet is one source of information. For AI training, it is the only source.

If you don't get why that difference matters, go ask Mummy for cookie and some milk, it's past your bedtime and you have school tomorrow.

Yes. In a society with a rule of law, it cannot be any other way. The only alternative is to people can tell whatever lies they want without fear of consequences, even if it literally gets people killed. We see too much of that already.

When you're a narcissist, and stupid, it's pretty obvious, to you, that you're inherently superior to all other human beings, therefore, it is literally impossible for anyone to honestly give you less than the best possible rating.

Yes, these "people" really do believe that.

In many other countries, as well, but don't let that stop you from masturbating furiously over how much you hate the US.

I'm not saying any particular person said that, and the question to Slashdot was asked over 2 decades ago. But I was assured that SSDs were "now reliable as an archival store", despite my informal test failure. (I had backed up something to them, and stuck them in a drawer for perhaps a year. They became unreadable.)

Show me how your insights have enabled you to create more advanced functionality, and then I'll be interested.

Much of the critique seems irrelevant to AI other than LLMs, such as self-driving cars which map visual input to actions.

People aren't confused by marketing BS. They're confused by their own stupidity.

And yet, he is correct. AI is based on scraping the internet. Even if it were capable of actual intelligence, anything based on the internet is based mostly on lies, misunderstanding and willful ignorance.

My wife and I bought a used 2024 Mini Cooper EV just last weekend, for roughly that amount. It seems well-built and is very fun to drive. However it is only useful for driving around town because its range is only 120 miles. Technologically this is clearly out of date. I couldn't help but think that if not for trade restrictions we could be paying the same for a new car with more advanced batteries and motors. In fact the Mini Cooper EV, the 2025 model with almost double the range, is not available in the US because of trade restrictions.

I never liked the framing of 'their brain hasn't finished maturing.' You could as well say that after 26 the brain begins its decline into risk aversion and senescence. Somebody has to go out and slay the beasts and fight the enemies and make the babies and young people in their physical prime did most of it.

The last thing NVidia wants to do is advance TPUs as a viable and more affordable alternative to the GPUs that are a gusher of profit for NVidia. Even if it's inevitable, delaying the erosion of the GPU market is worth billions per month to them.

My sample size was small (just a couple), but it decided me not to trust SSDs for backup even though everyone on Slashdot said I should trust them. What I'm afraid is that portable USB drives will start being main with SSDs rather than spinning rust without bothering to tell me.

Not a good idea, but you could try paper tape.

This is some big-league gambling! $200B in a morning! That's the entire market cap of Apple in spring of 2010. (For reference that's when the iPhone 4 came out - they were at the top of their game.)

Then riddle me this, Batman: Why are they preloading it? What are they preloading? Since it's running all the time, they're clearly not preloading it. Ergo, they're doing something else that will impact system resources, and need some kind of explanation.
