Barely usable results?! Whatever you may think of the pricing (which is obviously below cost), there are an enormous amount of fields where language models provide insane amount of business value. Whether that translates into a better life for the everyday person is currently unknown.

You will be kept alive at subsistence level to buy the stuff you’ve been told to buy, don’t worry.

Ethics.

Which is to say not a lot.

But it’s not really a practical attack vector, if you’re worried about weaponisation. Simpler to just dump VX into the air.

Did you actually read the article? They don’t upload screenshots; they recognise content and upload the identification of that content.

Who says loan? You could get a bunch of PE involved; they love a smashing together of entities to “create synergies” and “increase pricing power”.

I’ve run a 7800X3D - I would say it runs cool; my 5800X3D did but the 7800 seems to just run as much as it can until it’s under the temp ceiling, favouring performance over temp.

I’m right there with you. One of my daughters love drawing and designing clothes and I don’t know what to tell her in terms of the future. Will human designs be more valued? Less valued?

I’m trying to remain positive; when I went into software my parents barely understood that anyone could make a living of that “toy computer”.

But I agree; this one feels different. I’m hoping they all feel different to the older folks (me).

Argh, after 25 years in tech I am surprised this keeps surprising you.

We’ve crested for sure. AI isn’t going to solve everything. AI stock will fall. Investor pressure to put AI into everything will subside.

The we will start looking at AI as a cost benefit analysis. We will start applying it where it makes sense. Things will get optimised. Real profit and long term change will happen over 5-10 years. And afterwards, the utter magical will seem mundane while everyone is chasing the next hype cycle.

The difference is that there is SOME accountability in the West and we can, to an extent, influence who leads us, especially in Europe.

So if flagrant misuse does appear, there’s a much higher risk of it being discovered and of heads rolling in the west.

Think of the number of exposed scandals in the West and compare that to China.

And I’m not throwing shit China’s way and thinking the West infallible. I’ve been to China plenty and worked with awesome Chinese people plenty. There’s a lot to love in China.

But let’s not get lost in whataboutisms. Where would you rather raise your children?!

Public relations

My sarcasm detector isn’t going off, so I’ll bite.

A small market?! 450 million afluent consumers not enough for you?

The gift that keeps on giving.

If somebody runs a market hall and allows stalls to be set up where narcotics and CSAM is being sold, and profits from it, and ignores police requests to stop it, I would like something to happen against that person. That person is complicit.

What I can’t understand is why telegram doesn’t just set up the some moderation systems. Most of their growth surely doesn’t come from drug dealers and pederasts? It feels like it would be a tiny element of it and not worth the hassle.

I suspect Durov doesn’t like dealing with big teams and can’t be bothered.

I’m a heavy user of Telegram (average about 1h of screen time every day, and pay for Telegram Premium) entirely because all my friends are on it and that’s because it is the best messaging client BY FAR. I’d love not to share this platform with criminals.

Since when did fighting crime become a “totalitarian state” thing to do?

The number of trees is Europe is growing quickly. In fact, terribly so, this is an official part of the carbon mitigation strategy of many western democracies.

You can be angry about a lot of things but unless this is some ancient yewtree wood, this is honestly a nothing-burger.

I am curious where I’ll find the touch screen configuration utility when they do.

Yes they sold access to the user content we’ve generated after we explicitly agreed to the fact that they may do so. If you’ve chosen to not read the fine print when you created an account and created content for them, that’s sort of up to you tbh.

They’ll never do that. What D&D needs for “maximum monetisation” is “franchise” and “strong character IP”. They need these characters to sell you more stuff.

Kinda similar to my self-hosted server; 24 core, 32GB - peak number of concurrent users ever hosted is 3.

True, but there is good and bad ways to use media (educational content done well vs cheap Chinese children’s TV) and we do have age ratings there.

You’re right that cigarettes are universally bad (smokers would argue not, of course, and probably highlight social moments, pauses to reflect etc) but much of my list has good and bad sides. I’m perfectly open to removing cigarettes from the list, but it doesn’t change the validity of the other areas where we regulate minors’ usage.

Ok, good to understand your viewpoint. It’s clear you seek an entirely different way of managing vices for children. I can appreciate the world you’re describing, where responsible adults help and guide their children to maturity.

I live in the U.K., not sure where you live, but it is my utmost conviction that many parents here do not guide and shape their children and that should your approach to vice management be instituted, you’d see an heap of children slip into dependency before 10.

But you may live in a different part of the world, one where your approach could work. What do I know?
