Can someone explain why he stopped accelerating when he started sliding back and seemed to just brake?

I get laying off the accelerator for a bit and sliding back a bit to get out of a rut, but he just gave up.

I guess that's one advantage of stack overflow, sometimes you need a guy to tell you the entire basis of your question is dumb and wrong.

The actual survey result:

Asked whether "scaling up" current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to succeed. 

So they're not saying the entire industry is a dead end, or even that the newest phase is. They're just saying they don't think this current technology will make AGI when scaled. I think most people agree, including the investors pouring billions into this. They arent betting this will turn to agi, they're betting that they have some application for the current ai. Are some of those applications dead ends, most definitely, are some of them revolutionary, maybe

Thus would be like asking a researcher in the 90s that if they scaled up the bandwidth and computing power of the average internet user would we see a vastly connected media sharing network, they'd probably say no. It took more than a decade of software, cultural and societal development to discover the applications for the internet.

He's term limited, so he can't run in the 2026 gubernatorial election. I guess he thinks the next step is the presidency so he's taking the buddy up to the conservatives strategy that worked so well for Harris...

If you work is not at least giving you coffee you need to start mailing the CEO pictures of Luigi. Amphetamines and coke would be a nice perk too while we're at it.

it will be relatively easy to strip off

How so? If it's anything like llm text based "water marks" the watermark is an integral part of the output. For an llm it's about downrating certain words in the output, I'm guessing for photos you could do the same with certain colors, so if this variation of teal shows up more than this variation then it's made by ai.

I guess the difference with images is that since you're not doing the "guess the next word" aspect and feeding the output from the previous step into the next one, you can't generate the red green list from the previous output.

Nah, $70 billion is about right, and that's a conservative estimate. If it turns out anything like california high speed rail then it could definitely go into $100 billion territory.

Common law countries like the u.s., Canada and u.k. are really inefficient at building hsr due to property rights issues. California is still struggling to build its hsr even though it's scope has been reduced, its budget keeps ballooning. Similarly, the hs2 project in England to connect London to Manchester has also been cut back to just Birmingham, and it's also over budget ringing in £ 50 billion for just that section.

If this were china then yeah you could probably get a Vancouver to Quebec line for $70 billion, but the Canadian central government isnt that strong and would have to deal with a lot more regulations.

Republicans were at -3 pre 2016 and they've ratcheting up to -10 pretty quickly. If you have a good charismatic leader that the base falls for you can drag the rest of the party along to the edges of the Overton window pretty quickly.

They could also build a high speed rail from Toronto to Quebec, something the people could actually use.

It looks like a lot of these are people mostly on YouTube so they will be passively listening to whatever auto-play picks for them next.

The main audience for these isn't the boomer conservative listening to talk radio on his way home from work. These are younger men listening to it in the background while they play video games. Hell they have asmongold on here and from what I can remember he was just a WoW streamer a couple years ago.

According to the department of homeland security he "led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization" which isn't a charge, and also encompasses any activism for Palestinians. Hamas wants doctors in gaza to heal people, so I guess ICE can now dissappear anyone working for doctors without borders.

She signed a separate letter that was less scathing and left out criticism of Israel.

a lot of them

3 signed that separate letter, AOC, a state assembly member and a ny city council member, probably because it left out criticism of Israel and they're in New York, not because it was put out quickly.

The article mentions others like AOC who have separetely called out this blatant violation of free speech, but the point still stands, the vast majority of democrats are silent on this and that is horrible.

Remember to write your congress person about this if you live in the u.s. I think this is a border line issue that if we make enough if a stink they'll join the banwagon.

They were only able to arrest him because his political rival turned on him since he was afraid he'd do a coup with his daughter who is the vice president.

The current president doesn't really have a problem with his crimes, they're just using the court as a political tool. Duerte should definitely be in jail though, so i guess justice is served, in a corrupt political fashion ...

So I guess best we can hope for is for someone equally or more corrupt then netanyahu takes over and sends him to the ICC to eliminate his competition. Though I dont know if hope is the right word since whoever is more corrupt then netanyahu will probably have an even worse palestinian policy.

Mind sharing a source. Latest stories i see is ukraine falling back in kursk and general russian advances on the main front

If you don't think this would've happened under Harris, I've got a great opportunity for you to make some money on crypto.

There's a study showing about 1 in 6 people have it to some degree, so relatively common. It's just that the images that trigger it are specific and rare, for me the clustering and the type of holes have to be just right, but if it is, ick

The way I learned about it was someone posted a picture specifically meant to trigger it on 4chan to troll people, and it haunted me enough to look into it.

It seems to be a bit of both. The article does cite a lot of comments agreeing with what the older relatives said and getting a bunch of likes. So some people are laughing at how horrible and racist it is, but some are laughing at the unapologetically saying what we're all thinking aspect.

A lot of racist jokes are just people saying their biases out loud and unapologetically, and then the racists laugh because they agree, and they get to affirm those beliefs. You might get some people on the other side laughing at the absurdity, but for the people of the race being made fun of, it just feels like the attack it is. Especially when the subject is serious and you can't distance yourself from it, and nothing is more serious than genocide.

Like if you showed these to a Palestinian child they'd probably become depressed and scared by it. If you showed these to a boomer israeli they would probably laugh at it and say they're right.

That's trypophobia . Don't Google it though, might come up with a lot of triggering pictures.
