Every time I hear this claim I often wonder about the systems out there that are not acknowledged...

This post has zero information. It's like confidently predicting that the sun rises in the east. If he had said that AI/LLM solution would have any problems under any conceivable conditions ever that would be news.

He is a 100% blue pill guy. The only question is did he use AI/LLM to generate the answer. Since there seem to be no hallucinations or odd turns of phrase I would guess not. If AI/LLM is the ultimate tool that does everything,why isn't he using it for this obviously trivial task? He's not eating his own dog food.

As of 2AM East coast time.

Slashdot has right wing bias. Proof positive.

It's easy to stop a male dog from licking it's balls if it doesn't have any.

Maybe there's a idea there that could be applied somewhere else...

Tic-Tac-Toe

There are people out there who will do it for free.

Xi would have to offer Trump least as big of a bribe as he already got from Mohammad bin Salman, which was a billion dollar slush fund.

Trump's bribe amounts have gone way up from the $20 million or so he got from the Egyptian government just before he was elected.

So there are actual Marjory Taylor Greene level Jewish-Space-Laser conspiracy nut casres on Slashdot. Not much of a surprise given the low barriers to entry needed to post here. All that's required is the ability to type and not losing the scrap of paper with your login name and password. And a computer.

I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but I can't help but wonder if the space aliens who have taken over your toaster are still trying to convince you to take off all your cloths and go to the nearest power transformer/gateway to another dimension and visit their home planet.

Could someone with mod points put this part of the post out of it's misery and mod it all down to -11, including me? It's to protect the innocent children.

This is how fascism attacks democracy, happening in real time in the US right now.

It's one example of a nationally organized plan to intimidate individuals and interfere with organizations that are opposed to Trump's fascist Republican Party. In Texas the fascist Republican Attorney General Paxton raided Latino grass roots organizations doing get out the vote efforts.

In Florida the AG hired external lawyers to write cease and desist letters to news outlets showing advertisements for an abortion rights state constitutional amendment:

For Mark Walker, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for Northern Florida, that’s a clear violation of the stations’ and Floridians Protecting Freedom’s First Amendment rights: “To keep it simple for the State of Florida: It’s the First Amendment, stupid,” Walker wrote.

This is just the first stage. There will be both US state and federal level attempts through the legal system to interfere with the election by Trump supporters. Before election day there will also be voter intimidation and outright violence. It's all part of the fascist playbook.

No matter who wins, there will be significant violence between now and the inauguration. It's obvious that Trump will call for violence if he loses. He knows he will end up in jail, so he will whip his followers into a frenzy to try to take over the government. Even if he wins his most fanatic loyalists will start lashing out after he wins, because why would they wait? They have lots of guns and lots of people they want to eliminate.

I expect this to be modded down to -1,000,000 for obvious reasons. Fascists react badly to be called out.

You said the quite part out loud. It's white supremacy that drives this fear.

Ironically, what counts as "whiteness" has changed over time. When the Irish showed up in the mid 19th century they weren't white enough because they were Catholic, and the earlier wave of English speaking Protestants felt threatened. As for Italians, they were also Catholic and "too dark". (See the film Gangs of New York.) Now many of their decedents are MAGA-heads screaming about "Mexicans".

In propaganda politics you don't even need to create a new set of evil doers. In the real world violent crime statistics are down across the board, but Republican hate mongers are still screaming about crime in racist dog-whistle rhetoric.

The answer is yes. See the previous post about Sam Altman's Worldcoin rebranding. Also Zuckerberg, Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Modi in India, Orban in Hungary, the murderous Mohammad bin Salman in Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu, the entire government of Iran, Hamas, ...

Both are pushing tariffs as part of their nationalistic economic agenda. Their economic policies are doomed to failure, but the perceived political benefits outweigh any rational planning.

As an aside, Chinese EV export sales are being blocked for dumping, both in North America and Europe. Dumping is a fundamental problem for Chinese trading partners. Domestic US aluminum manufacturing was gutted by subsidized Chinese competitors. They imported into Mexico and then shipped over the border into the US. Some of the effected companies even had drone footage of the storage yards, proving that the manufacturing was not native to Mexico, but a trick to avoid trade regulations.

Will rampant use of AI/LLM wreck the world before the proliferation of small (inefficient, vulnerable, questionable economically and ecologically) reactors does?

Hand in the back of the classroom goes up excitedly. "I know, I know! The AI will hallucinate a reactor design that will solve all the problems at the same time, and then do my homework for me and get me a cool job at Google powered by the reactor!!!"

We're completely fucked.

The Slashdot crowd has damn near zero relevance to the vast majority of Windows users. They don't know what TPM is and they don't care. The will be faced with spending money or limping along on a system with declining support. In the long run most of them will upgrade even if there current hardware has a lot of life left. Business users will have less wiggle room and will be forced to upgrade sooner. All this talk about changing out the CPU or switching to Linux is slightly stale smelling hot air.
