I would think so. Means Poland is taking extra steps to weed itself of Russian influence. One step further in isolating themselves from Russian interference.
The Polish Parliament has adopted a law that will create a commission to investigate Russian interference in Polish affairs over the last decade and a half. The law was toned down a bit, but the opposition is still concerned it could be used against them in upcoming elections.
Just downloaded and holy crap, this thing is smooth as butter. Already more functional than that $115 closed-source alternative. Instant switch for me.
Seriously. People like to project forward based on how quickly this technological breakthrough came on the scene, but they don't realize that, barring a few tweaks and improvements here and there, this is it for LLMs. It's the limit of the technology.
It's not to say AI can't improve further, and I'm sure that when it does, it will skillfully integrate LLMs. And I also think artists are right to worry about the impact of AI on their fields. But I think it's a total misunderstanding of the technology to think the current technology will soon become flawless. I'm willing to bet we're currently seeing it at 95% of its ultimate capacity, and that we don't need to worry about AI writing a Hollywood blockbuster any time soon.
In other words, the next step of evolution in the field of AI will require a revolution, not further improvements to existing systems.
I went and checked... That's a mischaracterisation. A lot of people are excited, a lot of people are asking what Lemmy is. Some people are saying it sucks but that's not the general vibe. There are quite a few people saying they visit both Reddit and Lemmy and enjoy Lemmy a lot more and go there first.
I've worked with pigs on an organic farm, and I'm convinced that if people in general spent any amount of time with a happy, relaxed pig, they'd swear off pork altogether. Pigs are extremely smart and sociable, and even have a sense of humor.
That being said, I'm with you, it's the unnecessary suffering that I can't abide. And it's not even a matter of intelligence; chickens are pretty dumb (though they're a lot smarter than people credit them for), and I wouldn't want to see one suffer either. They're sensitive animals all the same, as any basic interaction quickly illustrates. The idea that it's fine to torment an animal because they're dumb is borderline inhuman to me.
I agree with you on principle. However, it shouldn't surprise you that people draw a distinction since dogs are often pets and people develop strong emotional bonds with them, whereas very few people have interacted with pigs or cows.
I haven't met anyone below sixty who eats dog meat. Even if it doesn't get banned, I'm sure the practice will die out within one generation. It's definitely getting rarer and rarer.
It's sad that a fringe, outdated practice reflects poorly on the whole country. Most Koreans love dogs and they're as horrified by the practice as Westerners are.
I'm gonna hasard a guess and say that's the title of her presentation, and she is using it to make a strong first impression before she nuances it by discussing systemic racism and privilege.
Credible defense, comicbooks, and a bunch of local subs and language subs around the world as I travel around quite a bit. Some of these have a Fediverse presence but it's not quite there yet. Rooting for them, though!
I kept my account and still (rarely) interact with some niche subs. The bulk of my social activity is here now, and if these niche topics were represented on the Fediverse, I'd gladly move on.
So I guess, to Reddit, I don't look like I'm truly gone since my account is still active somewhat. But my level of engagement has dramatically fallen.
I would think so. Means Poland is taking extra steps to weed itself of Russian influence. One step further in isolating themselves from Russian interference.
