AI is first and foremost about threatening people's jobs.

Not replacing people, it's not actually up to snuff to outright replace many real humans at work, but to say to your employees they'll be out if they don't stay cheap and productive? That's what the bosses love.

New to the LLM benchmarking game, I see.
Every new model is better. That's because they fine-tune them to be better at the benchmarks, and the benchmarks keep adjusting to the new SOTA.
Also, out of curiosity, how are we defining "rapidly sinking?"

I mean, I'm with you on criticizing the bullshit of OpenAI being completely non-open, but they are otherwise still basically top of the pack.

At 33B active parameters in an MoE? No, they most certainly do not.

Misinformation.
The US has a problem with its poorest folks that many other first world countries do not have. However, its middle and well-off match and exceed the rest of the world, respectively.
Judging by your word selection, I'm guessing you're a francophone.
Here's France's income distributed life expectancy.

Which is better? I suppose that's up to the beholder. If you're going for maximum amount of likely years lived- the US is.
If you're looking for a better place to be poor? Well, that's actually a toss-up.
Neither are particularly great.

There is also nothing totalitarian about the US. I'm sure Trump would love to be a totalitarian, but the fact is, the system still prevents it.
By the way, wanna talk about Burka Bans in France?

Fuck off, Eurotrash.

You and those who moderated you positively are fucking morons.

Educate yourself, you fucking dullard.

The lack of features is in itself a feature. I don't want to stink my photos with the clown. I want a good 'ol SD card or USB port where I can transfer them privately, between my own devices. I don't want to go through 5 menus on a touch screen just to adjust my car HVAC. I don't want yap recognition either ... I talk to other humans, not inanimate objects like cars. Give me good 'ol knobs and buttons. Ludd!

If you have to ask how it is wrong to punish everybody who may be the miscreant, knowing that you're punishing innocent people, then you're probably too stupid to understand the answer. Because you've had it explained to you many times already, unless you're an extraterrestrial who just arrived.

Ada is used in embedded programming, you're probably running Ada programs in your home and just don't know it because it's inside black-box devices.
Usage is growing because of the emphasis on safety.

The popularity measurements are bullshit, but Ada is in fact growing in popularity.

Cite one.

Who is this royal We you speak of?
The person I responded to claimed:

And the US GDP per capita is double that of the UK.

I thought you said we weren't talking about GDP, we were talking about GDP per capita.
People exist in land- and thus, land is a proxy for people, which is a necessary component of per capita.

No, it absolutely is not.

You think the financial sector is low value to the population? I imagine a lot of dumbshit Brexiters thought that.

What kind of stupid fucking take is this?
The US GDP has been highest in the world since the late 19th century (1880ish)
. So much AI and advertising going on there.

Demonstrably bullshit.

Yes, get those kids back in the factories. White collar jobs are bad for the economy.

You have a fucking bizarrely dysfunctional brain.

I didn't bring any of my political beliefs into this discussion. I specifically prodded one point you made:

I don't fault you your political beliefs.
However, the idea that those you disagree with have some kind of monopoly on "anti-intellectual mind viruses" is laughable, and makes me think that you're not smart enough to have rational political beliefs at all. To this end, I pointed out a collection of morons who quite literally tried to reverse an election via mob.
It was, by any definition, a putsch. Not one with a lot of chance of success, I'll grant you, but enough dominoes were lined up that Trump sitting on his ass while it went down should scare the fucking hell out of everyone. If they had succeeded, do you think he would have stopped them? Fucking of course not.

I couldn't give a fuck if someone doesn't like immigrants, doesn't like energy policy, doesn't like homosexuals, whatever. That's your business.
When you start acting like an attempt at overthrowing the Government didn't happen, or doesn't matter, that is my business. If that is, indeed, what you were alluding to- You are the anti-intellectual danger we face.

Just cold hard facts, dumbfuck.

Here, I'll reformulate your claim to actually fit literally all of the data we have:
However, as we saw with the prime mortgage crisis, the damage will be suffered, unfairly, well outside of the US' borders, as the Europeans react with crippling austerity measures.

Did you really actually think what you wrote was true, and are just ill informed? Or were you trying to gaslight? If trying to gaslight, is it because you have some kind of insecurity about being European and performing worse than your US peers?

I'm afraid I don't understand. What does sunniness have to do with things?

The correct data is a statistical study of whether or not people consider themselves happy, not whether or not people have a set of criteria that you consider criteria for happiness.

I suspect all of them suffer from the same problem.

The fundamental problem here is they're not reporting on happiness.
They're reporting on the access to chocolate chip ice cream in industrial amounts and saying that is happiness.
It's a fundamentally flawed view of things.

As an example, uncontacted natives in South America would be the least happy people on the Earth by the criteria used.

They don't give time stamps for the fuel cut-offs.
Rather, the preliminary report says:

The granularity for the switches might be bad, but the engine core speed is 0.125 seconds, so they should be able to infer if there was a meaningful gap between the deactivations.

It was never the fault of the pilot.
Boeing specifically sold the MAX as not requiring training for the MCAS- both in advertising, and regulatory requirements.

A pilot that was not required to be trained due to corruption of the regulatory regime has not made an error, short of being able to divine truth from corporate chicken bones.
