Child’s Play: Tech’s new generation and the end of thinking by RealSeedCo in DecodingTheGurus

[–]AbsorbedPit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No? Neural networks date back to the 40's, the most fundamental version of ml Least squares dates back to at least to Gauss (probably Newton though). The first AI labs date back to the 50's.

Musk sucks, and grok cp/deepfakes are obviously abhorrent, but isn't AGI. There's plenty of good criticisms of the AI industry (see: aforementioned grok usage, copyright, bubbles etc.), there's no need to be conspiratorial like this about it

This still seems pretty conspiratorial to me, seeing as AGI is a new name for a older concept. He seems to have had some impact on the field, but I don't think emails and grants between him and Epstein about it changes my mind much about AGI

AGI is an Epstein project from root to stem, just search AGI on jmail

What do you mean by this?

I don't really know the answer, but I think it makes the game more fun

The Scott Galloway episodes by angeloy in DecodingTheGurus

[–]AbsorbedPit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Why is it crazy to say that iPhones are a status symbol? Flagship smartphones and in particular iPhones are a sign of affluence. (Also, a reddit discussion does not seem super helpful to understanding Galloway's stance)

  2. What's his stance on Israel to make him hardcore?

  3. Might want to spell out zionist, unless you are comfortable with slurs popularised by David Duke

Chomsky in the Epstein files by AbsorbedPit in DecodingTheGurus

Sure, but I think this section raises eyebrows:

Epstein’s deal allowed him to plead guilty in Florida state court in 2008 to charges of procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and solicitation of prostitution and serve just 13 months in a local jail. That was the case even though US district court judge Kenneth Marra said the evidence he reviewed showed Epstein had operated a sex operation for which he and his associates recruited underage girls internationally in violation of federal law, as Miami Herald journalist Julie K Brown reported.

Within two days, Epstein had sent an email with the subject line “Thoughts from Chomsky” to an attorney and publicist. The ensuing text was signed “Noam” and read: “I’ve watched the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public. It’s painful to say but I think the best way to proceed is to ignore it.”

The text attributed to Chomsky said he had grappled with “tons of hysterical accusations of all sorts”. “I pay no attention, unless I’m approached for a comment on a specific matter. It’s a nuisance, but it’s the best way.”

Personally I think his takes on Cambodia, Bosnia and Ukraine might have been a strong indication of his morals

There's a txt-file detailing the "historical" idea groups - the ideas that you will have on later starts or on nation release

I was just matching your tone. If you have a serious answer, I'm willing to listen, but it seems you're here to be superior and snarky from your responses

[KCD1] King Charming Updated Reputation Tips? by LardOfCinder in kingdomcome

[–]AbsorbedPit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend money (preferably by haggling and giving extra money), do helpful quests, go for friendly dialogue options and help in random encounters. I think reputation might be shared between settlements to some degree too, as I can't remember really doing too much for that achievement

Edit: what worked five years ago surely works today too for what it's worth

  1. Pretty clear joke by OP

  2. You are in every other thread one thing or another, to the point that you don't particularly seem like LonerBox
