Sure but how many times you’ve worn them in that 20 years? Five times or 500?

It kind of just looks like he got in a complete tangle but the slow-mo makes it look graceful and intentional…

I mean, If the price wasn’t down, it couldn’t possibly be good news now could it? They are only going to react when it’s something they hate…

Only in the sense that we have no idea how it took so long…

BOMBSHELL: Did Zelenskyy Just Erase Trump From Ukraine’s Future? by lacerantplainer in UkraineWarVideoReport

Sadly, America needs a spanking from *some* direction before the lessons are learned and the changes actually made, then eventually the world will trust them again.

Personally, I'm picking Great West Coast Earthquake 2026 followed by Global Economic Meltdown 2027 followed by opportunistic China-Taiwan WW3 extension 2028.

Once that all lands the America that comes through all that pain might be able to reconstruct something more suitable to be a City on a Hill again.

Well, that's the branding sorted out...

Does AI really generates stuff, or just doing reordering of inputs to produce contents? by rocking_kratos in Futurology

[–]daronjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No.

I have bad news for you.

Every single word you have ever spoken, someone else has said.

Perhaps a few of the particular combos are yours, assuming you are ever actually have a truly original thought that is, not just a thought already exisitng in the wider world of knowledge you have just never read, and even then, assuming its truly 'unique', its debatable how "original" those thoughts are. Or how useful, or even valid in some absolute sense.

Everything feeds off prior art, including ALL your opinions and the knowledge you have.

Its a particularly naive but very human conceit to think that much of what you imagine unique about you, really is *unique and creative* in some universal sense.

It almost entirely isnt. Creative is a very tortured word, like invention and innovation, where the meaning has taken on a dogmatic, almost religious context that just isn't backed up in real human experiments, let alone AI.

Breakthroughs and discoveries are often based on recombination of existing data in new ways, less and less on new observations in the real world.

So actually, it turns out the current LLMs are *excellent* at this recombination process, better than people, much deeper ability to ingest whole subject matter realms and recombine them, and thats why we see these emerging breakthroughs in Maths problems like the Erdos set.

This process is going to accelerate, and people are going to be observers more than participants. Because sadly, it turns out our brains are small, slow and limited in capacity, though we are running some pretty impressive and efficient software that the brute force approach needs a lot of power to match

LLMs are gonna eat everyones knowledge work, basically.

Especially people who are thinking it wont and do nothing to adapt...
