Comment Van Morrison'd (Score 3, Informative) 44

Paper promises are not worth the paper they're printed on, especially if they're such vague notions as "how many movies we will release" nonsense.

Van Morrison cranked out 31 tracks of nonsense songs at 1 minute a piece and fulfilled a contractual obligation for songs/albums delivered to get a better deal somewhere else. These people are pure snakes, and you can guarantee that they will do exactly that to technically fulfill any promises they're making now. There will be 15 "real" movies and 15 "bullshit" movies.

Iâ(TM)m not so sure. I have a strong feeling that the oh no, your AI is TOO POWERFUL! stuff is largely bullshit that helps build hype and supports grift. I know AI tools have gotten better but Iâ(TM)m enmeshed in this shit every day and mostly all we keep doing is fixing shit AI results. I have developers whose primary job is now taking AI designed and generated proof-of-concepts (proofs-of-concept?) and fixing (or, rewriting) almost everything about the architecture and code to get it operationalized and scalable. But who knowsâ¦maybe this NEXT version will be the one that solves all our problems. /s

Or...I posted from a stupid device that replaced the standard ASCII 0x22 quote character with UTF U+201C & U+201D quote characters and replaced standard apostrophes with U+2019 "right single quotation mark" characters. It's what I get for trying for Frosty Piss and posting from my phone instead of waiting until I was at a computer that doesn't do that stupid shit.

Also, it sure would be nice if /. would let a user EDIT a fucking comment after the fact.

Okay, seriouslyâ¦âoh no! See how amazing our AI is?! China is trying to get you! Theyâ(TM)re coming for us because our AI is THE BEST!â

This guy needs to fuck right off. Everybody hates all this AI bullshit and nobody wants giant GPU farms sucking up all the water and electricity in their neighborhood. Fuck China too. Itâ(TM)s entirely possible for people to hate AI without Chinese propaganda.

Comment Re:AI is hitting crypto like a truck (Score 1) 45

If you knew anything about proof of work, you'd know the bitcoin protocol self-adjusts difficulty in 2,016 block intervals. Every 2,016 blocks the bitcoin network adjusts difficulty up or down depending on how many blocks were mined in the previous 20,160 minutes. If more than 2,016 blocks were mined, difficulty is raised. If less, difficulty is lowered.

This difficulty adjustment, which occurs every 2 weeks (give or take) keeps the bitcoin mining reward in balance the the electrical cost of mining.

Therefore it's illogical to criticize bitcoin based on the price of electricity, since it will always be self balancing.

Not sure what you're referring to. Let's try it this way.

Imagine you are a manager or a CO and you have an employee who keep spending an enormous amount of time working on the exact thing you hired him for. He gets frustrated when he finds stuff he CAN'T explain, wants to research further, and you just brush him off because you really hired him to NOT find anything.
