lol, what? Sorry, your highness. I'll never doubt you again πŸ˜‚ who hurt you?

Well, I hope you are right. xd

It just seems to me like a monopolization of the market by the big tech corps, which won't be beneficial to the majority, but at least a few billionaires will get richer.

I was recently invited to the Google research center where they presented their new AI assistant features, which should be coming this year. It was weird; it was at the same time more capable than I thought and more restrictive than one would assume. It's like not even Google knows exactly what to do with it, or what it should be able to do, or what exactly it is capable of. I also once got to try an "uncensored" / "unrestricted" information model, which was actually a bit scary but far more useful than any of the current "restricted" chatbots. I'm sure AI will change things up, but how, when, and why I don't know, and the more I find out, the more unsure I am about predictions, besides the one that big corps will try to monopolize the market.

lol, what? No, do you misunderstand me on purpose?

  1. I said a calorie is a calorie, no matter when you eat it; it does not change its energy content; because you said a calorie is not a calorie.
  2. I said you process it differently depending on your body, which is basically what you're trying to say with the metabolism change.

To make it clear what I meant before: my point is the calorie is never the changing part in the equation; it just is what it isβ€”a calorie measurement (a calorie is a calorie). But the other part of the equation, your body, is ever-changing depending on a lot of factors like the time of the day, health, etc.

The simple calorie intake to burnt calories ratio is still a valid stat since energy is a constant.

It's an incredibly basic part of physics. ;)

(Why are you so condescending? It's weird how you acknowledge my points and seem to mean the same thing, but at the same time, you think I am wrong and do not understand it.)

  1. Why do you care this much about online comments in such a niche community where only already opinionated people are?

  2. Yeah, if I were a moderator and needed to go over 1000 comments in today's climate, I would delete more than necessary just because you never know. They do not put as much thought into it as you think. It was most likely just like this:

A mod goes over comments that got reported, reads the first line of the comment, sees it has direct insulting language (the "fuck them" line), and deletes it.

No political intent or conspiracy, just a mod being a mod. Could be that there is some bias, but then you can do nothing anyway in that case; it's just a small echo chamber then.

The funny thing is, copyright doesn't even matter; at least half of the world's market couldn't care less about copyright, especially if it's from the "west." They certainly won't suddenly start respecting copyright law. They will use and develop AI without the restriction of copyright. All this talk about copyright and the law, and all the copyright suits against AI and tech firms, will be fruitless since we either forget copyright like we used to know it, or we get left behind in development because we need to respect the copyright of everything and make contracts with every big outlet, etc. Big tech knows that, so they walk this gray zone walk to still train AI on copyrighted material but somehow proclaim they are not copyright-dependent.

I'm not saying this is a good development, just that I think we need to reassess how we treat copyright on a fundamental level under the current development structure of AI.

We need to slow down the development of AI and hinder monopolization of the market. My guess is it's too late, but we can still hope that maybe this time it will be different.

Are they wrong? I don't understand. A calorie is a calorie; it doesn't change energy composition. The calorie is just a measurement of energy content in a given product. If it's 15, it's 15. The energy content doesn't change just because you eat it at 2 am. Your body processes the calories differently, not the calorie itself is diffrent. Am I misunderstanding the study?

Why do you want to censor art? It's a product of its place and time. jk, but who the fuck reads a greentext from 4chan and is like, "Oh no, the word retarded better be offended in someone else's place."

What issue? That unpaid interns or those one step below are not agreeing with long-term political decisions that were practically made before they were born and only understand the surface of the subject?

Yeah, thanks. I think I'll just ignore those as well if I were in a position of power, and you would too.

What is this "moral responsibility," and why is it just now relevant? There were, are, and will be much bigger and worse issues, like climate change, but no one is talking about moral responsibility and blasting the ones who are in charge like it is happening right now with the Israel/Palestine crisis.

Maybe it is just the age of massive misinformation and propaganda campaigns from all sides (some are engaging much more than others) with which I have a problem. Because, in the end, I applaud people who stand up for what they think is right, like those interns. It just comes across as too selective to be a principle. I mean, the Israel/Palestine issue has been ongoing for what? 50 years? It's not even the first hot phase or siege of Gaza. And then you start working in politics and then you became aware of the politics and stopped working there? What?

Part of it was faulty pricing from a Norwegian electricity exporter. Also, they have almost finished the new infrastructure, so they do not have to import as much in crisis situations. I think a new nuclear power plant goes online and lots of renewable stuff. The problem OP is maybe talking about seems to be very well handled by the state and already solved. https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/24708-electricity-prices-in-finland-return-to-normal-levels-in-2023-down-64-from-previous-year.html

In my opinion, you maybe should first deliver something before you go giving empty promises and sign a contract. But hey, that's Musk's motto: overpromise, underdeliver.

Old fart companies, lol. Oh, you mean the old farts who are more or less on budget and time and delivered what they promised?

If SpaceX, i.e., Musk's rhetoric, is not one of the reasons Artemis (3) mission will get delayed significantly, I'm gonna eat a shoe. As someone who has done budget calculations for global projects, I can tell you the biggest factor in calculating the cost is time. Since the timeline is off, the money needs to be off as well, as these two are connected.

Timeline Artemis 2024

No need to say we are way off this timeline, and one of the reasons is the absolutely bullshit timeline Musk seems to think is reasonable but is actually unobtainable for the company SpaceX. I don't know why he does this every time; eventually, he has to backpedal anyway.

Some not very deep examples:

  • Hyperloop - a complete bullshit concept, made no sense to anyone who had actually used their brain, basically a scam, very stupid promises.
  • Tesla self-driving - I don't think I have to say anything here...
  • Tesla Cybertruck - I mean, what? How was this design greenlit for serial production?
  • Tesla auto taxi fleet - I mean, who actually believed that...
  • Tesla semis - They are practically nonexistent.

Etc., etc.

Musk's track record is not great, and at this point, we definitely should not give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, but wasn't all the art stuff in austria pre-migration? So I would say he is a failed austrian painter turned german dictator?

[–] test113 1 points 1 year ago

This happens rarely, and if it happens, the chances of it being someone we know from the media are almost 0; that would be all under the table. The "best" are the ones you don't hear about because they are too busy working on actual stuff, same in most science fields.

Most of them are recruited in "normal" ways; there is much more talent around these days. No need to engage with criminals and put them on actual sensitive stuff. Also, they get paid more than you might think; the people leading these projects are not stupid and make a simple mistake like underpaying talent they still need.
