This is the major problem with the AI crowd, they act like AGI is just around the corner. AGI is just around the corner the way that Nuclear Fusion is just around the corner.

Currently AI is really, really STUPID. It looks smart because it uses a ton of processing time and memory. It's like you give the dumbest kid in school access to the internet, lock him in a room for 5 months and only let him out if he solves a suduko. It takes him 5 months, but eventually he gets it. Then you brag about him like he is a genius.

Ai is not getting smarter. It is getting better educated. It has access to more datasets and more cpu time. The basic process itself is the same as back in 2018 when Deepmind solved protein folding.

They have just applied it to languages, pictures, video, etc. Using the same technique on more datasets is NOT revolutionary, it is just evolutionary.

Yes, it is important work, significant process. But the same basic limitations still exist.

AGI is not and will NEVER be created using the same Large Language Model technology we call AI currently.

It will require something truly revolutionary. That means saying 'people are working on it' is like saying people are working on faster than light travel. We will need a super genius human that works out how to do something that we currently have NO idea how to do. Somebody that is a Professor or a PHD student, not a working software engineer.

We will not do it by making the minor upgrades to LLMs that OpenMind, Anthropic and all the rest are doing. They are doing necessary Engineering work, not technological experimentation.

No AI company is going to waste their money on the pie in the sky theories that no established engineer believes when there are so many obvious and EASY gains to be made doing minor upgrades. It's like expecting the Wright brothers to create a jet engine.

Trump likes things named after him. He put his name everywhere, including the Kennedy Center.

More importantly, I cannot wait for the day where I NEVER see or hear his name again.

"E. Jean Carroll" would piss him off, be kept long after he left office, and people would always remember his crimes before they thought of him.

You appear to have poor social skills. It's OK, so do I.

Nile's experiments have turned non-food into food, multiple times. That is what he has done and that is what they have done. That is the relations.

Yes, he is a chemist, so yes he did it with chemistry. Yes they did it with biology. Doing it with biology is less difficult and less expensive, but the method is NOT what is important.

The thing everyone cares about is taking non-food and turning it into food. That is why people click the link.

Also, nobody cares if the plastic was made from injection molding or from 3d printing. Nor does the type of plastic matter.

Most modern servers have more than one core.

Not that hard to treat each core as a separate machine, all using another core as something like an internal router to access memory, graphic cards, keyboards, etc.

The hardware changes would be minimal. Basically take 4 motherboards, put it one metal box and put most of the real memory, etc. on the 'host' motherboard that allocates between the other 3.

There would be real speed penalties to doing this, but totally possible just using hardware. Duplicating it with software instead of hardware does not sound all that innovative to me.

It is more of a question do you really need to do it with software? If you want this kind of setup, do it with hardware. What advantages do you get by doing it with software - besides the real risk of someone targeting the host that determines resource allocation. I would bet actual hardware separation would be 'safer' than whatever software separation you created.

They can rename things to.
Like rename a great lake:

Our main learning style ( lecture with notes taking) education system was originally designed in Britain to ready children for factory jobs.

Alternatives concepts such as question asking (Socratic), student debate, and student presenting were considered but rejected.

They wanted:
master/servant relationship aka obedience
less creativity
larger classes

I do not use social media, unless you count Slashdot.

The Social Media companies you agree to use (with the exception of other people giving them your phone number - which should be illegal in my opinion).

There is a huge difference between a company spying on you without your permission and one you agree to let them spy on you.

Those screens are cheaper. Once you put in a computer and a touch screen, you do not need ANY other buttons.

So they cheap out and remove as many as they can.

If you have a physical button and a week driving that car you can get to it without taking your eyes off the road.

A screen based system requires you to take your eyes off the road which makes 'multi-tasking' harder. No competent driver that has experienced a real button wants a touch screen while driving.

This is entirely about saving the cost of putting in more gauges and more buttons.

If Nigel Braun is not mentioned in their paper, he should sue for infringement on his brand.

The original argument for these cameras was:

You are in public, it is legal for humans to physically observe you, therefore it is legal for the cops to observe you, therefore it is legal for them to use cameras to observe you.

The problem is that quantity changes things. It may be legal for a person standing in public to observe you, but for them to follow you all day is called STALKING. That is not legal.

For a cop to follow you all day, every day of your life, that is Harassament. They would need a court order to do that, or be subject to a court order preventing it.

Flock and other similar cameras do not just take pictures, they have software now to track you everywhere you go in the US (excluding Alaska) using over 120,000 cameras. They can follow you from one camera to another.

This is stalking, not merely observing.

Private criticism is by definition ineffective. It is designed to inform without punish. It is in reality folding, letting Trump win.

Trump is doing a performance. He does everything as a performance without understanding the real life consequences of things.

He insults NATO publicly and wonders why they don't support his war. Why? Because he expects that only the MAGA idiots will observe the performance and is shocked that everyone else observes it and believes it.

The thing is, NATO spend decades learning that the performance IS reality. NATO saw Hitler, thought it was a performance, then paid the cost for thinking that. They saw Stalin and went on guard, finding him to be a real threat based on his words. Same with Khrushchev and Brezhnev.

Europe learned long ago NOT to trust the shmucks that claim they do not really mean their public words. Those words are believed by their own people so it does not matter if the leader was lying, the words they spoke become the truth, if they can push them hard enough.

The GOP used to not be pleased. They have driven out almost every trustworthy Republican, leaving a bunch of toadies in place. No one cares that the toadies secretly know Trump is a shmuck.

The toadies will be punished in November BECAUSE they did not fight back publicly. They could have impeached, they chose not to. Now they will be removed from office because they did not attack Trump.

Choice one: Is this the beginning of a new golden age of Television?

Choice 2: Or are they putting out the same, low quality stuff and when they DO manage to create a hit, do they cancel it after one season?

What am I thinking, of course, choice 2.

The GOP seems to think that Capitalism = mean to poor people, nice to rich people. No. Capitalism = Free market = no tariffs.

Tariffs = Mercantilism.

Capitalism hates Mercantilism. Capitalism was created because Mercantilism did not work, it was created as a replacement for it.

The GOP is not and has not been capitalistic for quite some time.
