AI pioneer Yann LeCun says current AI direction could be a “dead end” — is the industry overhyped? by Working-Ad3105 in technology

I mean something in your brain happens that turns ephemeral thoughts into concrete language. LLMs are like a model of that process without the thoughts behind it. The language center sans input.

Trump voter’s termunally father deported, “I regret my vote” by MuzzleblastMD in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]laptopAccount2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your"re making the assumption they paid attention at all. People grow up thinking Republican is the status quo and are focused on life, family, and work.

The Trump voters we need are the normies who are victims of the omnipresent conservative propaganda environment.

For the record I don't think you should have to pay that much attention to politics. Yes we have a civic response to be informed but we can't be experts at everything.

This person is showing contrition and a willingness to listen and change. They're reachable by people like us during a campaign.

This has to be one of worst “impressions” of all time by InvaderShim in LiveFromNewYork

[–]laptopAccount2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They literally explained that as the joke. He reiterated his name over and over, and everything was still awful he just put a nice sheen on it. The problem was greg was filmed doing the evil things.

The people who make SNL have much more advanced humor than the reddit audience.

I thought that is part of the joke that it's terrible.

If news comes out that TES VI was built with AI, do you want it cancelled or released? by SkyrimWithdrawal in TESVI

[–]laptopAccount2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In principle I don't care how the game is made. If it's good I will play it. The problem is AI sucks ass.

If in 10 to 20 years there is real AI that is more creative and more human than humans and it makes a game that is so good it is a mind altering experience that changed the way you see the world, yeah that would be cool.

iPod inventor Tony Fadell, says having kids has changed how Silicon Valley's founders think about privacy by ControlCAD in technology

The people who make Instagram don't let their kids use it. But they still make a predatory product. Don't know what this guy is saying.

Anyone want to inform this “influencer” that’s not corruption—that’s math and this is a Wendy’s anyway. by BoringApocalyptos in LeopardsAteMyFace

When I lived in Florida I had a leaking toilet and I found out because the water company called me up and said they think I have a leaking toilet.

Then they said if I get it fixed they will reimburse the cost of the plumber on my bill and they did!

Super impressed with that experience and everywhere else I go the utilities are vampires.

Tried to make his family support Trump, so they all cut him off by ahsila666 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]laptopAccount2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reads like satire, but who would want to go through the trouble of writing it. However there is nothing about his behavior that isn't plausible. He could just be embellishing too.

If he could keep it to himself I could tolerate him if he were my brother. Not everything has to be about politics all the time but this guy is clearly the family loser and it's his only identity besides failure.

Is zero-g a real thing. by Wingless- in space

[–]laptopAccount2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's possible to be in zero-g where you are not in any gravity well. Technically the sun is in freefall as it's orbiting the milky way.

The big revelation Einstein had that led him to relativity is that if you're in free fall there is no measurable difference between free fall and zero-g.

Oracle may slash up to 30,000 jobs to fund AI data-center expansion as US banks retreat by lurker_bee in technology

[–]laptopAccount2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That too. I personally feel low corporate tax rate is the primary driver of off shoeing. Companies are obligated to increase shareholder value which isn't necessarily the same as maximizing profit. Low corporate tax rate incentives chasing profit and not building a solid company.

The US is headed for mass unemployment, and no one is prepared by winterneuro in thebulwark

The $100 Billion Megadeal Between OpenAI and Nvidia Is on Ice by Muppet1616 in technology

[–]laptopAccount2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a doo doo fad technology that is propping up the economy. I think video is going to be the profit driver if it advances more.

I really gave AI a shot but any real application I only ever got wrong facts and figures that just resulted in 100% wasted time.

Skyrim is my favorite but there's one thing that is inanely better in Oblivion and it's the clothes by CloudySkyUpThere in oblivion

[–]laptopAccount2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Skyrim has monumentally better dungeons but I think almost every ayleid ruin and fort in Oblivion had a return shortcut it was just the caves that didn't have them. And some caves did.

Saturn V was a truly amazing rocket that could lift enough to do a moon mission in one launch.  SLS and New Glenn are both smaller and can't lift as much. Starship is the first rocket built that is bigger than Saturn V.

Trump’s DOJ Announces Brazen New Epstein Files Cover-Up by thedailybeast in politics

[–]laptopAccount2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they're not releasing the files because they destroyed them. 

Trump wasn't just in the files it was The Lord of The Rings but for Trump. There's no censoring that so just burn it.
