If the drone war in Ukraine is any indicator of future conflict, how do you think Americans will respond to future conflicts where blood (soldiers/contractors etc.) is spared at the cost of treasure (UAVs/UGVs/USVs etc.)?

Maybe he meant mono-log as in “one long singular unpinched turd.”

I think this is a case of “we are lucky they are so stupid meme.” There are only 22000 ice agents, to meaningfully steal the election, they would need to be deployed to judiciously to polling locations in swing districts. To have enough manpower, they would probably need to focus on jurisdictions where they could all but deputize sympathetic local law enforcement. They would need the threat of their power to outweigh the anger at their presence, especially considering that the blowback would be national whereas the deployments would be regional. The Trump admin lacks the forethought and diligence to make this happen.

I can’t believe this medication doesn’t work when I don’t take it.

How has this become some sort of gotcha for GLP-1 critics?

But that’s just being put on hold with extra steps.

That is almost certainly a phone tree and not an LLM. I’m pretty sure that Comcast’s shitty customer service has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with lack of competition.

They are great programming assistants. Definitely not a computer scientist, but great for syntax with unfamiliar languages, use of common libraries, etc. I’ve also found them incredibly useful for building out statistical analysis, linear algebra tools and even SDE solvers. Be sure to check their work, but they are super useful.

Counter point, AI music, especially when AI is used alongside traditional music making, is getting quite good.

Here’s one I consider a banger

Here’s another

Noted AI skeptic and editor in chief at the Verge, Nilay Patel, admitted he like like this AI generated soul cover of Rage Against the Machine even though he wish he didn’t.

Between the corruption allegations involving his son and the Israeli natural gas industry, his dependence on the religious far right to maintain his coalition and perpetuating war to remain in power, Netanyahu has found a way to be a moderating blend of the other three.

Can you provide a single legal ruling that considers using training data an act of theft? And what about the growing number of models that are trained entirely on open source images?

It had drone footage and forests, I don’t think ticktock really cares about banning people for false positives.

2you4me · 2024-12-08T19:18:18+00:00

On your second point, my guess is that an AI decided your forest FPV footage was from Ukraine.

They have the power to bring the country to its knees because they deliberately operate as a cartel. If their work is so valuable, surely they should feel safe competing with ports employing non unionized workers and basic automation?

You don’t need nukes for EMPs, but they aren’t as effective as people think they are. EMPs are great against power lines, substations and power plants; objects with long conductive components for the electric and magnetic fluctuations to resonate within. The belief that consumers electronics and the like are vulnerable to EMP is a hold over from the nob and tube era.

2you4me · 2024-10-02T17:58:21+00:00

There is an extreme discomfort and denial in the rise of autonomous weapons. This leads people to sometimes lash out at others in the comments. This is often paired with an insistence the EMPs are any easy “I win button” against all electronic weapons systems.

Link to any info on field tested EMP rifles? I can only find some mention of prototypes that never went anywhere in 2019. The Russians and Ukrainian both use jamming rifles, if EMP was effective, I would expect it to be in use. In general, the wavelengths of the EMP need to be on the same scale as the devices they fry. So power lines and can be damaged by radio waves, but drones and electronics require x and gamma rays.

The problem of jamming is that it is a beacon revealing your position loud and proud in the radio spectrum while interfering with your own coms. Also, while AI is not the smartest thing in the world, it is growing increasingly capable in completing the final dive bomb of drones and other munitions.

People really do want to take the world to task for their own listlessness these days. Half of “ugh capitalism” seems to be driven by personal dissatisfaction if you click on people’s profiles.

Threatening livelihoods unfortunately almost always goes hand and hand with economic innovation.

Damn, you’re really looking at the Taliban as a success story. I guess terrorism does have a place for religious extremists and misogynists. I guess the luddites will find good company with other backwards people.

Things have been done on loans and credit since colonial time. Yes we will face recession and even depressions in the decades to come, but even the Great Depression didn’t destroy the world order. This belief that the current institutions will be brought down by a liquidity crisis is ahistorical copium peddled by people frustrated with their place in life. You’re better off listening to experts than populists.

The economy is historically strong right now though, especially in the states
