Huh, didn't know that! I mainly mentioned it for the fact that it was crammed into products that didn't need it, like fridges and toasters where it's usually seen as superfluous, much like AI.

I wonder if we'll start seeing these tech investor pump n' dump patterns faster collectively, given how many has happened in such a short amount of time already.

Crypto, Internet of Things, Self Driving Cars, NFTs, now AI.

It feels like the futurism sheen has started to waver. When everything's a major revolution inserted into every product, then isn't, it gets exhausting.

Tip if you care about it, Steam Deck has Bluetooth and can connect to Bluetooth devices like any computer. You should be able to get a small Bluetooth keyboard (without a dongle!) and use it for anything on the deck.

My ultimate hope is that Trump decoheres to the point of never having a future chance of winning but keeps running anyways, ultimately blocking the party as a whole. Karmic punishment for raising this guy to a seat of power in the first place.

And his name was, Housman?

You can't convince me the universe doesn't have a morbid sense of humor.

Just seems like we're feeding them weapons like drugs to an addict. With how fervent the Israeli government's rhetoric has been, calling for the genocide of Palestinians and lashing out against non-zionists & Jewish people who won't comply, I feel like Israel is itself at risk of producing terrorism/more war.

Has anyone stopped to ask what will happen if they do somehow manage to take over all of Palestine? Has any conquesting nation just stopped after their first target?

With streaming services they're proving it's not viable to run a resource hog of a service with a measly monthly subscription.

With social media they're proving it's not viable to run a resource hog of a service for free, even with advertisement.

So naturally the best plan to monetize AI is to run a resource hog of a service with a measly monthly subscription and a free version without advertisements. /s

Once Google Maps directed me through the scenic route to work. Turns out there was a massive crash on the highway.

Not only would I have been late I would also have to survive traffic hell.

It also tells you where speed traps are ahead of time. I've always wondered how the cops feel about Google snitching on them like that.

Looks at the United States government as a citizen

I'll take my chances.

To get more direct to the point you could use those unrendered dummy links to ban whatever IPs click them.

With the vast amounts of training data and how curated they're becoming (Llama and Claude are going that direction) it's infeasible to actually poison a large model to this degree.

I think there was something about the US government having to finally get rid of vacuum tubes because the only suppliers were in Russia.

Some of the high concept type of spells you can make eventually is insane. You truly can play with forbidden magic except it's sawblades and nukes.

Noita just has that genuine sense of awe and exploration I've only experienced in OuterWilds (Also a really good game, progression is story and information based, do not spoil).
