I do think even the âoebadâ guys generals donâ(TM)t murder kids for fun. And having more precise weapons is the way to avoid it. Definitely an AI algorithm has less intention killing random civilians than a rapist who was let go from prison to join the army

I look at it differently. When the army bombs a school or kindergarden, do you think it is intentional? WW2 was about making the most powerful destructive weapons. Now the race is making the most accurate and speedy weapons at scale that human operators are the bottleneck. With more advanced AI the endgame is that only justified military targets are eliminated at the highest possible speed, possibly ending the war faster. To me that is a good thing.

what was the word of the year 2024 again? enshitification?

the universe is a scarier place than any sci-fi

In my time we used to call infinite recursion a Bug, today they call it AGI.

Delayed effect. The company will do well without top senior talent, it may take long until things get messy. Meanwhile other mid-level engineers become more experienced and the CEO will tell shareholders how he managed to achieve the same with less expense. As there is no baseline to compare to (can't look into the parallel universe where the CEO go sacked instead), it all boils down to how well the CEO can convince shareholders it was the right decision.

You can always overcome those ISP limitations with tunnels to a tiny gateway machine on AWS. Not sure if practical/worth it though.

The study doesn't say anything about doubling, improvements are shown in the range of 5-35%

Has anyone who ever used ChatGPT return to the state of 'never used it before'? If not, then by definition this number must be "ticking up", regardless of they found it useful.

The satellite network Starlink is building is on LEO, that is around 300km above us. So I presume the signal must be clear enough at least at distance of 400-500 km. Not sure about the power transmission requirements but it certainly will be very low data rate. I don't think it will work in the presence of obstacles or indoor though.

This is to stop low-tech actors from using a commercial service (that can decide to implement this feature) to flood the Internet with AI generated fakes. Training your own model that does not watermark is expensive and requires some skill

Demand for housing is already there, just no one is willing or can afford to pay more. With UBI suddenly everyone has 2000 more at their disposal. But you are right that this won't affect only rental prices but will rather spread out on everything.

The others seek attention by begging to have copycats

With that line of thinking they should have just adopted USD or EUR and would be better off than with Bitcoin.

Some other source reported they measured 10s of neutrons coming from the chamber thus proving nuclear fusion, they "just" have to scale to 10^28 or sth. And yes, you can build a nuclear fusion device in your garage: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...
