  • Generative AI is not smart to begin with. LLM are basically just compressed versions of the internet that predict statistically what a sentence needs to be to look "right". There's a big difference between appearing right and being right. Without a critical approach to information, independent reasoning, individual sensing, these AI's are incapable of any meaningful intelligence.

    In my experience, the emperor and most people around them still has not figured this out yet.

  • Back in my day, the Internet was a testament to human ingenuity, determination and spirit, as noteworthy as the Manhatten project or the pyramids, not just synonym for one of Google's crappy products that will inevitably end up in the Google graveyard.

  • The terms "left" and "right" are meaningless anyway and should be aboloshied. It just entrenches thoughtless "us versus them" tribalism instead of making politics about actual policies and issues and how people are affected.

  • As someone who has installed a toilet or two, I have to say, the skills of the plumber who managed to reach in there and tighten all the connexions is seriously underrated. Mr Fantastic level reach. Which makes me think this is fake.

  • The problem is the monoculture. We are fucking addicted to convenience and efficiency at all costs.

    A diverse ecosystem, if a bit more work to manage, is much more resilient, and wouldn't have been this catastrophe.

    Our technology is great, but our processes suck. Standardization. Just in time. These ideas create incredibly fragile organizations. Humanity is so short sighted. We are screwed.

  • Americans are so accustomed to freedom, comfort and luxury, they take all of it for granted. Of course everyone is sticking their head in the sand: if you don't have a sense of what you stand to lose, of course you aren't going to voluntarily take on a little bit of discomfort to try to stop it.

    Hard times make hard men, hard men make soft times, soft times make soft men, soft men make hard times <- we are right here.

  • Yup. The MAGA crowd isn't conservative. The MAGA crowd is regressivist, trying to install feudalism/theocracy. Meanwhile the MAGA leaders plan to take advantage of the ensuing chaos to rob the country. It's all just a big fat heist with a lot of deceived fools.

  • This doesn't sound sustainable at all. A billionaire only needs so much gasoline, food, medicine, TVs...

    Collapse of entire industries will happen way before we even get a chance to see industries reinvent themselves to cater to billionaires. Don't believe me? Just look at what happened to the economy during the pandemic.
