Hard disagree: LLM, sold as you're selling it, is a con. It is not a viable replacement for human beings over the long term. LLMs train on information that's created by human beings. There's zero incentive to create that content if LLMs will just gobble it up and sit between the end users and authors.

Be very clear on this: as we shift to LLMs being put in front of everything, the incentive to post answers to StackOverflow or Reddit, the incentive to post news, the incentive to post movie reviews, the incentive to blog, the incentive to write anything at all, tends to zero.

And that in turn means that, assuming this gets worse and we don't have those incentives back in place by, say, 2030, that LLMs will be based upon 2030s information.. in 2040, in 2050, etc.

That's just not sustainable or viable. It's not going to work.

And just to add insult to injury, LLMs are already being fed their own material. LLMs trawl the web looking for content, and an increasingly large amount of content is generated by LLMs. Nothing sane can come out of LLMs ingesting their own poop.

And YOU may be too short sighted to see that, but you can bet the fraudsters selling this technology are not. They will cash out eventually leaving the rest of us holding the bag.

China? China may do the same thing as well, but that's not going to mean they "beat us", it just means we'll all sink faster.

If I'm reading this correctly, this is to allow other services, eg YouTube "creators", to create their own AI slop based on Disney characters. So you can create a movie where Luke Skywalker battles Thanos with the help of Woody and Elsa using OpenAI's movie creation system. It'll be terrible, but you're now allowed to do it without suffering the wrath of the mouse. Just be warned you'll suffer the wrath of everyone else. Just Disney won't sue. Probably.

Or, more concisely: Countries should aim to be poor.

To be fair to the nutballs, their proposal will actually slow it down as compared to not limiting immigration. That is, from their nutball perspective the proposal is an improvement, just not a total solution. For a total solution, they need to go full right-wing nutball and also ban women from working so they'll stay home and have proper Swiss babies.

I'll assume you are being serious.
1. Not all AIs are equivalent to ChatGPT.
2, Mistaking something that isn't a vulnerability for a vulnerability is relatively low cost.
3. Finding one vulnerability that's real can be extremely important.

NOTE: It doesn't NEED to be perfect. If it's "good enough" then it's good enough to be useful. Things that aren't vulnerabilities are relatively cheap to check.

P.S.: You shouldn't have needed this explanation.

Perhaps you should look up "sarcasm" and figure out why I ended my comment in /s.

And FWIW, the current Opera has barely any relationship to the browser from 2004. It's a different code base, different people are behind it (it's a Chinese company now, no longer related in anything but corporate history to the Norwegian company, with development taking place in a variety of different countries.) Opera today is essentially another Chromium-based browser, as it's been since 2013 or so.

It's a shame, it was an innovative browser in its day. Now it's another AI slopfest.

It isn't OK for the Swiss to do it. Who is telling you that other than white supremacists?

Asylum treaties exist for a reason. And the Swiss will shoot themselves in the foot if they ban skills-based immigration as the world doesn't evenly distribute skills across it.

And, in classic fascist style, it's a dumb law that proffers a simplistic, wrong, answer to a complex question, designed to distract you from the inherent corruption of fascist leadership.

I can't even figure out the mentality needed to post this comment, let alone mod it up. Even the attempt to reframe the proposal leaves the proposal as ugly and racist. And since when was invading a country by military force and imposing your own government the same thing as joining it organically, either because it has a culture you love and believe would thrive in, or because you're escaping persecution?

What a horrific mentality you guys have. What truly horrible people you are. You're not even making an attempt to understand the issues you pontificate on, you just believe the world is divided into "races" that should, for reasons you can't explain, never mix, and must always be in competition with one another.

Jesus.

Except that they aren't blocking sideloading. With the planned changes you can still install apps via:

1. Other app stores. The apps will have to be signed by a registered developer account.
2. By one-click installation from a web site. The apps will have to be signed by a registered developer account.
3. By ADB. No registered developer account required.

And for the cases that require a registered developer account, that account can be anonymous and free as long as the number of installs is small.

That would be fun, actually. I'd have to give them slashdot and substack. They'd have no idea what either of them are.

Well, it would be fun until they denied me entry.

This is a gaslighting that he'll probably largely get away with, since most Americans -- especially his voter base -- have little contact with tourism or people from other countries.

His ongoing attempts to gaslight them over grocery prices, though, that one's going to be tougher. I'm surprised he's trying that. I mean, he's dumb, sure, and insulated from truth, but surely someone around him is smart enough and clueful enough to tell him that it would be better to sell it as a period of unfortunate but necessary pain on the way to long-lasting economic revival and stability. His base would eat that up, but even his diehard supporters are having a hard time reconciling "grocery prices are down!" with their own grocery bills, and he just keeps repeating it. He can cherry-pick specific item prices or gush about the lower-price of a (conveniently scaled-back) Thanksgiving dinner basket all he wants but people who actually buy groceries (such an old-timey word! <eyeroll/>) can see the truth during every weekly trip to the store.

Yes, but unlike the $20 a month version with AI, it costs $40 a month... /s

You've completely made all of that up, even after having it explained to you that antifa just means anti-fascism. Yes, communists are antifa. So are anarchists. So are democrats. So are liberals. So are people who are merely pro-democracy. So are many people who are anti-democracy.

You've basically taken some Fox News coverage of anarchist protests where antifa signs were waved, somehow conflated communism with anarchism (maybe due to Fox News's own narrating) and then ignored the evidence of your eyes and ears after hearing so many people who aren't communists loudly proclaim they're "antifa", and decided to live in your alternative reality instead.

And the fact you uncritically accept a Fox News narrative suggests, given it's current support for an American fascist regime (big clue even if you for some reason think a gang of con-men who are scapegoating a powerless group, making a big show of treating them inhumanely, building concentration camps for them, and using the military to suppress dissent, is somehow not fascist: why would Fox News misrepresent what antifa means if they were anti-fascist?) you probably lean fa.

Think about that.

Antifa is not a group, it's a general position of being anti-fascist in thoughts and deeds. There may be groups named after antifa, just as there are groups with "conservative", "liberal", "anarchist", etc, but the concept itself is not a group. And unless you're a God-damned fascist, there is no reason to be opposed to antifa.

But you know that, hence your attempts to pretend it is a group, and then point at random anarchist groups (most of whom do not have the word in their names, but who occasionally will describe themselves as antifa because of course anarchists are anti-fascist) and pretend they are that group.

And again, like the previous idiot, how pathetic is it that the modern conservative just stupidly and without even a moment of thought repeats the same lies about terms they've been trained to hate even after having it explained what it means and how they're also wrong about terms like "woke" and "DEI"?

What went wrong with you lot? In the early 2000s, you were not this dense.
