The problem is bigger than that. Training LLM's on the internet guarantees garbage.

Essentially, all you've got with an LLM is a context-tracking pattern matcher. It has no discrimination whatsoever and you can't create "rules" for it, because the amount of "rules" you would need is ever-growing and unsustainable.

The only way around this is to train it on authoritative fact. And the internet.... well, they don't call it "the net of a million lies" for nothing.

Suicide Squad is rubbish and nobody cares what the hell happens to it. Warner Bros deserves this failure and the RockSteady we knew is dead.

Follow the founders: Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker's new studio is Hundred Star Games and they're hiring all the Rocksteady talent they can.

This is a well-worn path. Cash out by selling your studio to a big publisher who has no fucking idea how to develop games at all. Watch as your current studio crashes and burns due to the publisher's utter incompetence. Start a new studio elsewhere. Rinse and repeat.

Now you can have malware injected while your iPhone is being transported!

It's not like Apple's low-quality software would contain vulnerabilities which would allow you to end up with an unopened iPhone that's been completely owned or anything!

No, that would never happen!

Honestly, does Apple specifically hire for 'stupid' or something?

Comment There's some incredible irony here (Score 1) 151

The irony here is that on most things DeSantis is a complete asshat, but on this he's 100% right.

Social media is a dopamine hit machine and like any dopamine hit machine given to teenagers between the ages of 11-6, addiction is an almost inevitable result. This is why people become addicted to social media, video games, cigarettes and alcohol. A dopamine hit loop established at the right age is the key to creating a lifetime customer - something the cigarette companies have known for decades (yes, they really were marketing to adolescents all this time).

The negative effects of social media on the life skills and self-image of teenagers is just starting to become evident. The full impact probably won't be accepted by the average Joe for a decade or two, but the writing is on the wall for anyone paying attention.

The logistics of enforcing this are a technical problem and one that is amenable to solutions. Yes, you can't stop everything, but just because a solution isn't perfect doesn't mean it shouldn't be implemented. If you can hit 80% of the problem, that's good enough.

> No one died in the "door plug" incident.

346 people died in two separate 737 Max crashes because of Boeing's shitty management. Those deaths are a direct result of executive decisions. It was pure dumb luck that nobody died in the Air Alaska incident.

The 787-9 flight which suddenly lost all control and all instrumentation for 30 seconds is a human tragedy waiting to happen. Again, due to Boeing's slipshod approach to safety.

Those executives should be charged and imprisoned. Anything less, is enabling ongoing, risky behaviour which will lead to further deaths.

You'll be one of those complete lunatics who, in coming years, will advocate against "AI underrepresentation in all walks of life including judicial and legislative." - in short, you're a waste of meat.

Comment A blunt assessment (Score 1, Flamebait) 36

Researchers have continually demonstrated the inability of developers to restrict the output of large language models. They are always being tricked by the creativity and actual intelligence of human beings. Accordingly, making those models available to the public constitutes a threat to national security.

    Remember. Any data ingested by an LLM is now available to anyone. The full ramifications of that are absolutely, positively not appreciated by the vast majority.

Yes, a single carrier strike group is engaging land-based targets with impunity to keep trade flowing.

Which part of this is too difficult for you to understand?

There's simply no other currency in the world which nations will prefer as a medium of exchange.

Reserve currency requires a powerful navy in order to enforce trade controls. The US is the only country with a bluewater navy with range.

BRICS is largely irrelevant. They're not interested in using each other's currency since that would convey advantage to whichever country owns the currency. They simply don't trust each other that much and nor do they trade with each other. They simply all trade with China.

The Yuan is so shit, even the Chinese don't want it. The ruble is pretty much insolvent.

International trade is largely irrelevant to the US. The largest market of the US is the US. Internal demand is greater than external demand. Ergo, the currency is largely immune to the effects of trade wars and other shenanigans.

The US dollar isn't going anywhere and anyone contending otherwise is geopolitically illiterate.
