you are a terrorist sympathizing scumbag, why don't you move to Gaza? Ukraine has been under fire for over a decade now, children are murdered by ruzzian orcs every day, so is anyone else unlucky enough to be hit by a drone launched into civilian infrastructure.

Israel must win and not let any terrorists annihilate itself.
Ukraine must win this and not let any terrorists annihilate itself.

Both countries are under attack by terrorists. In fact ruzzian terrorists have been supplying middle Eastern terrorists with weapons and intelligence and psyops help (similar to what you are engaged in) for a very long time. The world must awake to this nonsense, remove ruzzian terrorism from this planet, this would clear out quite a few other terrorists from this planet.

Except you are a lying scumbag, that's all. Israel is protecting itself from extermination, lead forward by Iran, who is now going to be busy enough with its own problems for a while, to support all the terrorists around Israel, at least these are good news. Hoping that Israel deals with the Hamas operatives and finds all of the remaining hostages.

The COVID mRNA vaccines were the culmination of decades of research into genetic vaccines that could be in essence engineered to target a selected antigen without the years of trial and error that are required by the methods we have been using since the 1950s. Within days of the virus genome being published, they had a vaccine design, the months it took to get to the public were taken up with studies of the safety and effectiveness of the heretofore untested technology, ramping up production, and preparing for the distribution of a medicine that required cryogenic storage.

It would be unreasonable not to give the Trump administration credit for not mucking up this process. But the unprecedented speed of development wasnâ(TM)t due to Trump employing some kind of magical Fuhrermojo. It was a stroke good fortune that when the global pandemic epidemiologists have been worried about arrived, mRNA technology was just at the point where you could use it. Had it arrived a decade earlier the consequences would have been far worse, no matter who was president.

The lesson isnâ(TM)t that Trump is some kind of divine figure who willed a vaccine into existence, itâ(TM)s that basic research that is decades from practical application is important.

really? why? Orcs are the closest thing that we have in folklore that describes their insane behavior, including suicide without any hesitation the moment they find further suffering slightly inconvenient. It is a good description of war creatures that display complete disregard for anything living. They murder children, rape everything that breathes, eat their own, kill them and eat them. Orcs.

I am sure over the last 3.5 years all sorts of things happened, however orcs from ruzzian mad king are doing it daily and they are getting orders to do it from their commandment as well. Ukrainian forces have investigated a few cases that were reported from the Ukrainian side. It has been 3.5 years of daily attacks by ruzzian orcs on Ukrainian civilians, hospitals, kindergartens, birthing wards, houses, theaters bombed in a terrorist strategy of trying to force Ukrainians to take down their government. Instead the people of Ukraine have worked together to build an extremely efficient system of producing, purchasing and transfering to the front lines drones and all sorts of other equipment. I know it first hand, I personally have spent over three quarters of a million USD to fight against the orc invasion. Your comment here shows what sort of trash you are.

they will take a donkey's kong up their ass, that's what they will take at the end of this. They are gaining a few hundred meters of forward movement per day for hundreds and thousands of dead orcs. This is what they count on, that people will give up simply because they will not be able to stop the meat attacks. The meat attacks will stop as the money dries up and it will dry up.

ruzzian orcs use drones to murder individual civilians, including children. This is different from simply carpet bombing, to murder a 1 year old in this case they had to hunt him down specifically, find him and blow him up individually.

This is the face of the ruzzian 'soldier' today, putin or not, it is the individual people who are making every day decisions. AFAIC ruzzians are now all legitimate targets, every one.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

Correct, the headline should be: Why is Fertility So Low in EXPENSIVE Countries?

The reality is that 'high income' more likely than not means high prices, constant pressure to keep earning money, because there are very few things in 'high income' (expensive) countries that doesn't cost money. We are constantly forced to pay taxes, never mind that in expensive countries large parts of the population live in dense urban areas, in cities and nobody has land that they can live off of. If you have no source of food other than the store and you cannot avoid paying taxes and paying high costs of owning or renting a property, then you are constantly under pressure to earn money.

In an expensive country you have expensive government and this government never ceases to pressure you to pay more taxes, makes things truly unaffordable by pretending to give it to you for free, basically in expensive countries you are forced to provide not only for yourself and for your children and maybe for your elderly parents, you are forced to provide for your expensive government.

An expensive government is obviously the cost of running the government itself, salaries, pensions, buildings, all expenses but it is also all of the laws, that are constantly adding more and more expenses to the system, thus mostly forcing the government to get deeper into debt and to steal your purchasing power through inflation (money printing).

Under these circumstances people who have access to contraceptives will use them almost always and this prevents almost all unwanted pregnancies. The other part of the population is just too stressed out and too tired from constant earning to pay for all of this 'high income' expensive stuff.

At the end children become a luxury for those, who can afford just a little more than the other guy or they become a way to suck money out of the system itself by getting onto various programs. They are an irrational choice for many, so to have them you either have to have a direct financial incentive or to be irrational or to be wealthy enough to afford them.

It's just a contract, not a philosophical treatise. We should be more worried about their goals and intent regarding what they plan to do with the technology. There will be plenty of time to debate the true merits of the term, and what threshold needs to be crossed before consciousness should enter into the discussion. The more pressing question, to me, is what are the limits of this current technological trajectory and what do we as a society need to prepare for to handle it? What they decide to name it will just be marketing term for a product. And without a solution to the model collapse problem, the biggest issue I see is how to filter the deluge of content. We're already on the other end of a firehose we largely have no control over. The Internet may have connected us, but most of us still have little idea how little control they possess or how targeted the content they consume really is.

Comment intelligence is not the prerequisite to survival (Score -1) 61

Are they really looking for intelligence in these LLMs or are they missing something else that slows down their progress? Is it intelligence, that we are trying to get out of LLMs? If so, I think they can be easily at least as 'intelligent' as anyone, they certainly have more information than any one person does. Maybe what they are looking for and not finding just cannot be found that way, that's because it is not intelligence they are looking for but some form of organic animal like behavior? In that case they will be looking for a while, not until we have robots everywhere that are more than a camera on a car, something that can touch, taste, smell, feel pain, hunger, consume to sustain itself, will the new level of 'intelligence' appear.
