So, people deliberately shared their chats and made them "discoverable," and now there's a ruckus about it? Why?!

Why instead? Here's what should be done:

  * There's been a lot of discussion around developing plastics that degrade in just a few years. We need to fund this research immediately.
  * The amount of plastic packaging should be reduced as soon as possible -- and eliminated entirely wherever feasible. When was the last time you bought a gadget? Remember how it came wrapped in ten layers of plastic?
  * Here in Russia, back in the USSR days, many products like milk, kefir, and sour cream were packaged in paper-like materials or glass. You could return glass bottles for money. It was a highly effective system, and many people really liked it.
  * Implement policies that reduce the amount of plastic used in clothing and footwear. There is an insane amount of microplastics in those items.
  * Do something about the tires. I'm not a chemist or physicist, so I have no idea how to tackle this issue.
  * Single-use plastic bags should be either eliminated, or made extremely sturdy and equally expensive, or replaced with something biodegradable that doesn't turn into microplastics.

The funny thing is that the rich think they are immune to this, but microplastics have now been found in every form of life tested.

I wonder how they are coping with that.

And I'm pretty sure it's only gonna get worse, a lot lot worse before people on earth do something about it.

I've long suspected that most religious people don't actually believe in an afterlife or God, and how we've been royally fucking with this planet over the past 100 years is a prime example of that.

I know Slashdot (and Ars Technica as well) both deny even the possibility of creating AGI/ASI using current methods, but if, if these companies achieve it, these salaries will be nothing. They are trying to solve the universe.

No, it did NOT.

A human being ran the final code.

Stop implicating AI in things they are not responsible for.

Almost every AI/LLM cautions you to verify its output.

DNSSec is a smashing success because a ton of providers and unscrupulous governments do everything in their power to prevent customers from using it.

Russia, Iran, China, etc. all happily force use to use ISP's DNS servers that provide you with IP addresses that are approved by your government.

Oh wait, some EU countries and even US states have joined the ranks of those meddling with your DNS queries.

I posted this four days ago when it was pertinent and relevant:

my submission was never approved and now most distros have already released a fix.

Here in Russia, ChatGPT is the only thing keeping me alive. The local doctors are grossly unqualified, negligent, and basically don't care about your health.

But yeah, it's not "AI", too bad real fucking two-legged intelligence doesn't give a fuck about what's going on with me, neither they even try to help.

And it's not exclusive to my country. r/ChatGPT has already seen many stories about people who have saved themselves or their loved ones using a next token predictor.

Lastly, this will be a revelation for you: Microsoft's AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) was shown in controlled studies using 304 challenging case reports from the New England Journal of Medicine to correctly diagnose 85â"85.5% of cases. This is compared to the ~20% accuracy of 21 general practice doctors.

Four times better accuracy for a stupid machine.

It was replaced by the EA app. Ubisoft Uplay is not dead either; it's now called Ubisoft Connect. Neither EA nor Ubisoft wants to give up on their apps because they would have to give Valve 30% give or take of their earnings, and no one wants that. Just my 2 cents.

AI is not a search engine and it doesn't contain links per se, only tokens.

News at 11.

Everyone here is so righteous and says this isn't AI, but this thing can make moves and use its limited abilities to predict the next best move. Given its limited skill set, the fact that it can even play is already miraculous.

I've been talking about this for years. The PC has lost its relevance and significance as smartphones and tablets have become more powerful. Nowadays, the PC has been relegated to businesses, professionals, enthusiasts, and hardcore gamers.

Regardless of whether your VPN provider offers true privacy, you can still be tracked.

Here's what every website you visit sees about you with a common web browser::

• User-agent
• Time zone
• GPU ID
• Screen resolution
• Locale

And a gazillion of other things that uniquely identify you.

Of course you can disable JavaScript or use something like Tor Browser but by doing so, you'll again become unique. There's no real privacy on the Internet. This game has long been lost.

Even your browsing patterns, such as how many pages you open per hour, can be used to identify you among other users.

VPN nowadays is good for evading Internet restrictions imposed by your ISP, country, or businesses. That's about it. It's not about privacy.

Email me and I will share with you dozens of conversations in which ChatGPT and I argued. Rest assured, I have never used it for confirmation bias. People who engage in that behavior simply find websites that cater to their interests and stay in a close circle of like-minded people.

I have a feeling you haven't read my comment carefully. I hate tribalism. I wouldn't use AI to indulge in it.
