Comment This isn’t a conspiracy anymore. (Score 2) 45

can be private, robust and effective

Utter bullsh*t. This is about obliterating privacy and escalated monitoring. This "IT'S FOR THE KIDS" BS fools nobody.

I wonder how you would feel after losing a child or other loved one to suicide. After finding out it was the insanity of social media pressure that drove an undeveloped mind to seek that out as the ultimate “answer”. With digital peer pressure.

No. I do not wish that upon my worst enemy. Nor have I had to endure that pain myself. I just wonder what it would take. For you to see the bigger picture. I’m all for fighting for privacy, but to dismiss this as nothing in relation to child harm is just fucking ignorant. When do you think your opinion would change? Before, or after you’re standing over a grave asking why?

There are many conspiracies I’m up for debating. The negative impact of social media on an underdeveloped mind isn’t one of them that intelligent people debate anymore. Because it’s that fucking obvious. Shit ain’t healthy for the grown-ass child junkies addicted to it either.

Comment Shit excuses, are shit. (Score 1) 45

Australia's world-first social media ban for under-16s moved closer to implementation after a key trial found that checking a user's age is technologically possible and can be integrated into existing services.

This reads as if Australia as a nation was too stupid to grasp the technology behind user authentication, and only finally started to understand that concept after a legal trial.

Really? You needed a trial to out the corrupt greed of the tech elite lying about protecting revenue streams? Give me a fucking break.

Unlike the "AI ethic" claims, Google Deepmind has a definition for AGI, with progressive steps and a method to test whether you are going towards it or not: https://aibusiness.com/ml/what...

Gotta love the idiotic irony of the last step, which defines AGI as outperforming 100% of all humans.

As if we meatsacks will be smart enough to tell AGI what it is, and what it isn’t. I suppose next we’ll assume we can turn it off.

Comment Definitions, are pointless. (Score 1) 41

Based on documented history and observation over hundreds of years, humans are fallible. Imperfect. Capable of building societies armed with an average intelligence that makes even a semi-intelligent human cringe thinking about the sheer number of fucking morons on this planet.

THAT, is what an LLM has to compete against. That is ALL an LLM has to compete against. Because even toddler-grade AI is capable of replacing a LOT of fucking morons being paid to do jobs today.

The problem with discussing or even debating AGI is we’ll never get there. Good E. Nuff, AI bot-for-hire will be all that is needed to disrupt 25% of modern jobs. Now, tell me. Will we be debating how much better-er we’ll be making Good E. Nuff by then, or will societies be engulfed in horrific crime and violence due to making 25% of a human-powered planet permanently unemployable?

Rest assured mass chaos will happen before AGI will even breathe a thought into a solution for that problem beyond Skynet.

Google has always had an irrevocable right to use what you literally store on their property in any way they like. They're now using that very content to try to replace the people who made it. That's fucking classically juicy. I love it.

Has Google figured out where the stock-propping revenue is gonna come from when A.I. Greed convinces Capitalism that paying humans is old-fashioned and out-dated? Watching Greed get bitch-slapped by Common F. Sense, is predictably ironic. I hate it.

Comment Re:Brainpower, or Breeders? (Score 1) 51

Adult diapers have outsold baby diapers for well over a decade there. Unlikely. Adults needing diapers is a very very rare condition.

If babies are more rare than diaper-wearing adults in Japan, that only confirms how right I am about their breeder need and how dire their situation truly is.

In the Japanese market, adult diaper sales have outpaced baby diaper sales since 2011 because of shifts in demand. Births in the country—758,631—were down 5.1% in 2023 from the year before, Japan’s lowest number of births since the 19th century.

Comment Brainpower, or Breeders? (Score 2) 51

Japan has been below replacement levels for quite a long time now. Adult diapers have outsold baby diapers for well over a decade there.

While the media might love to spin Japans actions as politically motivated and “anti-Trump”, the reality is they need breeders a hell of a lot more than they need brainpower.

I know it's important to start with something truly random but why is this better than some other noise source like a resistor?

Computed-based generators follow predictable algorithms -- if someone discovers the starting conditions, they can predict all future outputs.

In theory, a security system that bases its integrity on true randomness, could become predictably broken.

There's a reason why fiat currency exists and it's not to ruin your fun. It's a little thing called stability.

Stablecoins have their value pegged to fiat currency. That's why they're called stable. Its not about speculation, it's about an alternative to exchange mechanisms like VISA, Matercard, PayPal, etc.

A mega-corp is considering adopting alternative currency due to monopoly control over transaction fees because a society is addicted to plastic money.

Tell me again how “stable” that bullshit justification is to adopt alternative currency.

Ironic comment implying that the consequences of Covid-19 was exaggerated? For your info, Covid-19 killed about 18.2 to 33.5 million people and is the 5:th the deadliest pandemic in history. And Malaria is still active, having killed about 608 000.

Well, that’s one hell of a way to miss the parents point. Completely. Let’s see if this drives it home.

Write headlines and stories about how this is setting up to be the “weakest decade” without accounting for an obvious global pandemic?

Even bullshit is calling bullshit on that clickbait.

Comment The AI Czar. (Score -1, Troll) 361

The future of AI has become a Rorschach test where everyone sees what they want. The Left envisions a post-economic order in which people stop working and instead receive government benefits. In other words, everyone on welfare. This is their fantasy; it's not going to happen."

That isn't a "leftist" fantasy, moron. AI hype doesn't give a shit what color political tie you're wearing that day when Greed decides to let you go. Greed is deaf, dumb, and blind. Although Greed is often sponsored by politics, it has but one primary vision, mission, and goal. More. By any means necessary.

This Czar either has a plan to outlaw all use of AI in Capitalism, or they're gonna be one of the worlds first Czars replaced by AI. As if that fucking job can't be replaced by a very small shell script.
