I keep being told by experts that AGI is inevitable. Yet all I ever see is people constantly go on about LLMs, so I don’t know what to think. Are they lying, is it all just a bubble that’s going to burst or is there actually some utility there that is being hidden by the LLM hype? If so, can’t we just use the actual AI rather than these other things.
The problem is that we absolutely can build a sustainable society on our own. We’ve had the blueprints forever, the Romans worked this out centuries ago, the problem is that there’s always some power seeking prick who messes it up. So we gave up trying to build a fair society and just went with feudalism and then capitalism instead.
As long as they have one employee who just constantly renames products, they will be okay.
You’re comparing apples and oranges. The A71 isn’t supposed to be comparable with a pixel 9.
You’re comparing the three-door Nissan to a Lamborghini
For something like that you should keep the box. You’ll need it if you ever want to resell it
You know, maybe Vimes had a point.
Russia is a free country. Unfortunately it’s not a country with very safe windows. This has led to a very unfair representation in the west.
You mean the land mass? Just a load of bigoted rocks.
Plus loads of adults don’t have a card. It’s not like when you turn 18 somebody from the government turns up and goes here’s a bank account.
This is why they keep going on about government ID cards. So they can track everyone reliably. Which is precisely why we shouldn’t do it.
Interestingly there are noticeable absences from that list.
Perhaps that’s by design, there’s no reason the politicians would make their own lives more difficult.
Well it’s been monitored by ofcom who we all know are the last word in inefficiency, corruption, and stupidity so I’m going to go ahead and guess that they’re just going to say they’re doing checks, and Ofcom just not going to check.
They’re probably going to add a second pop-up after the “are you 18” pop-up that says “are you lying”.
Even before the current political situation I wouldn’t have bought a Tesla. They have a documented quality problem and not very good customer service at least outside of the US.
Why would I buy a car that is not only more likely than most to break but when it does break it’s hard to get fixed. Spare parts are notoriously hard to get hold of and you usually have to deal with Tesla directly which is a problem because they don’t have a lot of dealerships in the UK. Also they won’t come to you, so if your car won’t start you have to arrange a pickup.
Well I tried searching for “secret exploit nobody knows about”, but it didn’t come up with any results.
I am not allowed to use WhatsApp on my company phone, so it’s hard to believe that the US government has apparently been fine with it up until now.
Nope, I’ve got no idea what that is.
So we have firearms but they seem to sell pretty well.
It doesn’t have to be nice to make it not a bubble.
They go on about long-term investment and then you find out that what they’re actually talking about is things that will start returning a profit in 6 months. Half a year is long-term to them.
If you have a long-term view and want to make quite a lot of money you probably couldn’t do better than shorting Apple stock. They never innovate anymore (every iPhone is literally the same as the previous years), and they spend huge amounts of money on failed projects (Vision Pro), meanwhile they continue not to fix ongoing serious issues (Safari).
You see some fantastic outfits in Edinburgh. I think it’s the inability of the locals to accept that sometimes it’s hot. They don’t really get the idea.
The best I ever saw was someone wearing shorts, white trainers, and a black bomber jacket. Very much giving off a vibe “it’s bloody hot outside but I only own the one coat, so I’m wearing it”
If World ID becomes one of Reddit’s third-party providers, it would be good news for Tools for Humanity, which was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.
What the actual fuck.
Seriously how on Earth is that supposed to work?
How are they going to understand a language that doesn’t exist yet?
