I mean I can list a lot of things AI (and I'll limit it to Transformers, the advancement that drives LLMs) has enabled:

  • Audio Transcription
  • Greatly improved language translation
  • Improved computer vision, in some situations
  • Combined with diffusion models has enabled targeted image generation, which we already know is being used in media and ads.

AI isn't a scam, but it's being oversold and it's limitations are being purposefully hidden. That being said, it is changing how things are done and that's not going to stop. We're still seeing impacts from CNNs, one of the major AI/ML breakthroughs from over a decade ago, make impacts.

What was so obvious in that instance was the board members trying to push him out were calling out the lack of openness OpenAI was trending towards. They were literally calling him out for not upholding the vision of why the company was founded.

All the engineers clearly saw their payday slipping away and revolted for that reason. Can't say I blame them, but it was a scenario where the board was actually doing the right thing and everyone turned on them for profit.

Originally all their work was supposed to be published and shared with the world, hence the "open" in OpenAI. However somewhere along the way they made a for-profit break off of the original company and started pulling everything in that direction.

Yeah, nothing like overinflating the value of things to make your 12k retro console emulator bust sound impressive. Pretty sure stopping a single shipping container from China would find more contraband.

That's not entirely true, the idea of specialized jobs being paid more is due to the fact the worker had to invest time or money into the skill. The point being made is that a low skilled job generally shouldn't be paid more than a skilled job, due to education/training costs.

That's the arguement being made, and drawing attention to the fact that Boeing could lose generations of techs to other careers (forever) if they don't act now. Because once someone moves away from the field, it's hard (time and money) to bring them back.

Exactly what I came to comment on. Got a TV that's half way off the wall and a ps5 hiding on the stairs just ready to take someone out.

This is what I was going to say.

  • If they're a dev WSL is a godsend for development.
  • If they are looking to move away from windows, dual boot or live cd/thumb drive are good ways to test things out.

I think the issue is that it makes it riskier to buy one. They're expensive one day and then drop in price the next means that the market hasn't figured out what they should really cost. If you sell/trade-in your cars semi frequently, that's a big risk.

I'm calling bs, the first post had 3 triangles and this one has 6.

This guy is lying to us!!!

Also seems to be a lack of understanding that just cause you didn't pull the trigger doesn't mean you didn't help create the scenario where a trigger got pulled.

I'm not sure I agree with all instances of felony murder (like when it's an accomplice who dies), but the general notion is you participated in the events that lead to this person's death.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

I think the idea of felony murder makes sense, you've helped create a scenario where someone ended up murdered. I think it's ridiculous that one of your accomplices can be that person though.

The real issue with this case is that he is 15 (16?). Obviously he should have been treated as a juvenile (especially since it sounds like they were all kids).

I also hate how this blames the candidate and not the voting populace. Kamala may not even win as it is, but would almost certainly loose if taking a strong stance on Gaza. Blame the American people and stop playing this whataboutism game.

All that aside, Kamala is the fastest way to ending the genocide. It may not be her current platform, but she's the best shot at getting the US to change its stance.
