It isn't haunting him much. These stories appear designed to placate, deflect anger. Don't be fooled by them.

Where was this work? The prison kitchen or something?

Uber thought they were going to 1. undercut taxi drivers pay, then 2. be in prime position to get rid of drivers when one of their mates in silicon valley solved driverless cars.

That didn't happen so they are forced to be a taxi company dealing with unionised staff and local regulations and shite. Long may they have the real world to deal with, mired in anti-tech administration of human beings while their mates have moved on to undercutting white collar office workers en-masse with large language models as unsuited to the task as their crap self driving cars were unsuited to getting rid of drivers.

And so is extinction! Nothing more natural than extinction: pretty much every species ever evolved has gone extinct or is on its way now!

Human ingenuity is a hell of a thing, but it isn't impossible for us too. I don't feet it ir reasonable to put human extinction on the table now, but if we burn all known fossil fuel reserves it is, maybe if we continue on our current trajectory into 2100 it will be.

Presumably the risk of getting caught. There must be quite a few people aware of what is and isn't in that evidence (edit including people in the previous administration and people Trump has sacked), some of whom might whistleblow.

Police are not the brightest in any society.

So I guess somebody needs to tell them that they need to focus their efforts a little better if their current plan is 'anyone with a Google Pixel is a drug dealer'.

Can I suggest they start with the people with drugs, rather than the people with the -- not uncommon - google phones in their search for drug dealers?

Paid for: full self driving

Got: a chatbot that styles itself on Hitler

Carney is and always was a neo-liberal banker. :It seems inevitable, all things considered, that the fossil-fuel powered neo-liberal capitalism the West (maybe English speaking countries) has experienced since Reagan (and Thatcher) will only set the stage for fascism.

A choice between right or hard right is a choice between the length of fuse you want on the bomb. Unfortunately, the longer the fuse the bigger the bomb - because of the problem-multiplying impacts of things like climate change and poverty/reduction in education etc etc etc.

Oh look, it's vice.com, so presumably these 'scientists' are from the University of Joe Rogan or U of Y(outube) or something.

As I said. This individual simply cannot tolerate a different reading of the pro-corporate, anti-diversity EU so they immediately resort to vulgar insult.

Believe it or not it suits me personally, on the most cynical level - free movement etc - to be in the EU. It just happens that I grew up with people who have been hammered by EU membership, and who voted heavily against it. I abstained because I won't vote against the interests of the people I grew up with.

What I said about reform is absolutely on the cards anyway, forcing a rejoining of the EU on people who voted against it greatly hastens their rise. This is something I don't want to see. EU citizens don't seem able to bend, and when you don't bend you break.

Anyway. Block it is.

There is literally zero chance of the British accepting the Euro. It has disaster baked into it.

The Maastricht treaty defined that you lose the right to 1. run budsget deficits in periods of economic contraction. 2. Set interest rates. 3. Devalu your currency when necessary.

Greece got to borrow at rates Germany enjoy - for a while. Germany gets a hugely devalued currency which actually allows it to be a great exporter (well that and the US post WW2 investment).

This inequality in peripheral countries absolutely drives the rise of the far right.

Other than that |the British people don't want to be in the EU. Being forced into it will put Reform UK into power. They are as Russia aligned as Trump.

Edit - I know most poeople will not be able to cope with this reading of the EU and will not change their mind in any way. When presented with a fact that does not match the reality one has (co-)constructed one has to reject the fact, because one cannot reject reality. So I am happy to agree to disagree, I won't reply further in this thread, I will just block. And you can downvote this, but you can't downvote reality away. If only you could, eh!?

The UK political classes ignoring the brexit vote, and rejoining the EU gets Reform UK into power. Who will leave the EU, and are as aligned with Russia as Trump is.

The likes of the bbc framed the brexit debate as a choice between 'liberalism' and something xenophobic, which is not why the vast majority of people wanted out of the EU, and omitted the stories of the majority who had very good reason to be unhappy with the EU.

The EU is pro corporatism, anti diversity (why have one set of rules for all of Europe, written by corporate lobbyists in Brussels? What is right for the majority of UK citizens, is not right for the Irish, What is right for Germans is not right for Greeks. etc etc etc. Europe has a wonderfully diverse culture, one set of homogenised rules written by corporate lobbbyists is not right and never will be. Brexit is about the right to self-determinism and autonomy.

The EU was an American idea. They wanted a bulwark against the Soviet Union in Europe. We are in a very different world now.

If the EU wants a Russia aligned nuclear power on their Western side within a decade they push for the UK to rejoin. Th EU ere disgusting in their dealing with the UK post brexit. To expect or demand further concession shows just how hopelessly mislead EU citizens are.

He made it clear pre-election that that was his intention.

Are we still pretending that voter sentiment is a concern?

I would describe myself as close to the person you replied to in terms of skill level, and have been using llm's in a similar fashion to the one they described, and get great results. I think the key thing is to know enough to understand what is happening, and see where the llm's limitations are, and use it as a learning resource to actively improve while using it. Then be as specific as possible when asking questions.

Not only is it great in terms of getting working code, I have found chatgpt to be the best teacher I have ever had! (Because of availability etc). I think they must have trained the llm's I have used on a lot of computer and coding sources.

I think the key is to learn at least the basics of coding first.There are scores of 5 to 25 hour long courses on most major programming languages on sites like udemy. Coding can definitely be hard to get your head around at first, but stick with it and do as many of those as it takes, or a night class or something.

If someone isn't prepared to invest a week or two (in truth I spent a lot longer than that studying coding but I wan't particularly time-efficient in my prior learning), then treat the llm as a learning resource, then good luck! I would guess the llm will be able to come up with any idea they can anyway soon enough!

Electricity.

Not fucking power.

Lemmy is as bad for misinformation as anywhere else. The impulses that drive people to re-imagine reality in an image that suits them is not confined to right-wingers.

These replies are silly.

It is you all who will continually wonder why the world isn't working out the way you want it to and the way your ideology told you it should, and I am happy to agree to disagree, so block it is from here on out.

Your failure to deal with the reality poor, former working class people face has and will lead to the rise of the far right. Well done. Continue being right.

You are simply not dealing with reality and we will all suffer because of it.

There is not one thing indoctrinated of racist about my post. Your failure to accept reality suggests indoctrination.

Absolutely not. It is you that is missing the point and we will all be worse off because of it.Deal with reality.
