Nope, they can use your NPU, GPU or CPU whatever you have.. the performance will vary quite a bit though. Also, the larger the model the more memory it needs to run well.

Let's see if we can get a legal precedent that addictive = entertaining. That could have "interesting" ramifications. (For the record, I don't agree at all that they're the same thing)

It's an accurate translation. Mikrobitti is a generic computer magazine (with a long history) so it could either be that the author is not very familiar with Linux cli or it might also be that they were trying to put it in layman's terms.

Depends on how you define meaning. I find meaning in experiencing the life. It may be predetermined or have random elements in it but the experience is unique to me.

Anyway, given all we know about us and the universe I haven't heard a coherent proposal of how free will could work. So, until there's good evidence to convince me otherwise .. I can't help but believe it doesn't exist.

I'm not saying that humans are just AI, I'm just saying that there's no fundamental difference in the sense that we also respond to stimuli.. we don't have free will.

"What we call AI lacks agency, the ability to make dynamic decisions of its own accord, choices that are “not purely reactive, not entirely determined by environmental conditions.” "

That's from the article and I referred to that.

It's one of the terrible hype trains again... However, I wonder what makes him think that humans are something clearly more than a model that gathers data through the senses and reacts to external stimuli based on the current model. I think that's special pleading.

Huh? The things people do with that wage will certainly rise in price due to inflation. Interest on bank accounts usually correlates with inflation, house prices go up with inflation (if you own one, it's value usually does too)... It's usually only stuff that wears out quickly and/or electronics (stuff that has steep inherent value deprecation) that do not grow in value due to inflation.

Yup, I've started avoiding gaming forums, mostly stopped following news/rumors and hype trains and I've become "patient gamer". As a result, I pay much less for games and enjoy more the ones I get.

this plus:

  1. For many companies the majority of operating expenses are related to employees, so they will try to resist raising wages, preferably cutting them and/or firing people (also, union busting)
  2. Product quality will suffer
  3. They'll try to skirt regulations and lobby to overturn them
  4. In capitalism there's no such thing as enough when it comes to ROI so we go back to 6.

I don't need that powerful hardware.. it's the software side that's mostly lacking for me (as a software developer :)

It looks a bit rough but it's very good. Had to quit it though because it took over my life.
