Then fire him and hire someone with a plan to match.

Fuck the US. Let it wallow and die. Talking more closely is just more likely to get its shit on you as it goes.

That doesn’t actually sound like they intend on producing usable helium though. That sounds like they intend on doing a really difficult and expensive fusion reaction to produce helium 3, which they will then use in a cheaper and easier to do fusion reaction, and the end result of all of that should be electricity and no net new helium since it’s expensive and rare AF and they need it all to make the whole process remotely plausibly profitable.

Can I remind everyone that it is impossible to produce helium in a practical way?

It is literally only produced through a fusion reaction, and that happens in stars and in incredibly tiny quantities in fusion reactors.

Whenever it’s released, it basically just floats away into space and is lost forever.

And what hardware do they run Linux on? And what phone do they use? And what TV device?

And if they’re not a mac fan boy, then they’re insistence of looking at Apple as the only possible sign of industry trends is mind boggingly narrow.

Do I really miss it? It never once came up in any practical situation.

You would buy a mobo and a CPU and put them together and not think about the specific buses or controllers you have available, unless you had a very specific reason to.

Unless we’re talking about a mobile power constrained device, I certainly would rather have expandable RAM and graphics cards then everything slammed in a single unchanging chip.

And again, the fact that the author states that Nvidia can’t release an integrated SoC because they didn’t buy ARM, when they actively sell an integrated SoC licensed from ARM, makes the entire rest of their “opinion”, untrustworthy.

This is a bad article. It’s just an Apple fanboy watching their company continue its trend of shitting on customers and assuming that everyone inevitably will, apparently never once reflecting on whether their insistence of sticking with Apple is the real problem.

Their argument boils down to CPUs increasingly integrating basic versions of other components over time meaning that desktops will disappear… Ignoring that the desktop market has stayed surprisingly flat that entire time and has certainly not disappeared.

If your argument is that integrated CPUs will outclass discrete components connected with high speed buses then you need to make it from an engineering standpoint, not a headline one.

I also don’t understand his reasoning that because NVidia don’t buy ARM they don’t get to make an integrated CPU… Nvidia made and sold an integrated ARM CPU before ever being rumoured to buy them, and they still make and sell it to this day … because ARM’s entire business model is based on companies like Nvidia licensing their designs.

Given Ubiquiti’s Russian connections, and TP Link’s Chinese connections, this honestly isn’t surprising.

Neither are they on the instances that defederate from them.

It’s also not like it’s an ideological thing. The instances that get defederate from are just filled with obnoxious tankies.

If you’re talking the US government, then no, they don’t need political capital from the people, they just need capital capital and they can use that to swing elections and bribe politicians.

Regardless, some AI companies will inevitably survive. It is legitimately useful in solving a ton of problems that were near impossible before. Literally this xkcd. Now it’s not “I’ll need a research team and five years”, it’s “sure, easy API hit, we’ll just have to manage cost / use”, in the future, it will be “sure, we’ll just add a background task client side”.

This is literally how he always acts. There’s a reason that many instances do not federate with lemmy.ml, his instance.

He’s incredibly pro communist, pro Russia, pro China, and will ban you for even mentioning that something could be foreign propaganda.

At the end of the day, hopefully your instance builds their server code from source and inspects it to make sure there’s nothing nefarious. It would be nice to use a decentralized Reddit like platform not coded by him, but no one else has the time, resources, ability, and/or dedication, to step up.

I would still rather use Lemmy over Reddit, though I did switch to donating to piefed, the Canadian instance runners, over donating to him.

Literally every Samsung Android phone has come with their Dex desktop for like 10 years too.

I fucking hate Google at this point. They’re just an even shittier version of apple now. Locking down their shit for no reason, and claiming decades old innovations are actually new and theirs.

Let’s be clear, for a feature that Samsung phones have had for a decade at this point.

Slavery (vs using a machine), involves the subject being either a human, or more broadly, a sentient being with a sense of self.

An AI cam be intelligent without being sentient or having a sense of self.

Again, there’s no reason to think that intelligence is a linear scale or a binary property.

And how does the human brain work?

Anything an LLM can do can be reduced to a list of instructions for a person to carry out based exclusively on the contents of a book full of word associations. You tell me what size the book becomes intelligent.

And you know that your brain works differently how?

At what point will you try to liberate the AI? 3/5ths human? Either you believe there’s a thinking thing being forced to create child abuse material or you don’t.

Why do you think that intelligence of any kind is that linear or simple, let alone artificially built ones?

It = literally a dictionary right

It’s literally mathematically not a dictionary.

Said “threat” is literally AI marketing PR. You are doing their job for them by being afraid

And you know this because you’ve personally used and tested current AI models?

The posted headline is literally “Texas become leading ground for testing small modular reactors”.

That inherently implies that places that aren’t Texas, are not becoming leading grounds for testing small modular reactors, bringing those other places into the discussion.

Right now that’s not the headline I’m seeing on the article though, so either they’re A/B testing headlines or OP editorialized.

Except there is no language. It’s just the appearance of one. You could replicate the language with a large enough dictionary and a set of instructions that some person follows.

You’re saying that because it can learn any arbitrary language, it’s incapable of learning languages?

I don’t get how anyone who isn’t an AI CEO rushes to dehumanize real living people in service of an unthinking, unfeeling machine.

It’s not dehumanizing, it’s realistically facing the threat head on.

AI doesn’t have to be fully human to take all knowledge jobs, it just has to be more intelligent then the average person in their domain. And it doesn’t have to be flawlessly more intelligent if it’s faster than them. Quantum computers have inherent randomness in their outputs, but they are still useful because they are so much faster at solving certain kinds of problems that you can run them 100x and discard the outlying results (a process known as error correction). AI agents that can duplicate themselves as many times as they want fall into the same category.
