  • You don't understand how they work and that's fine, you're upset based on your paranoid guesswork thats filled in the lack of understanding and that's sad.

    No one is stealing from society, 'society' isn't being deprived of anything when ai looks at an image. The research is pretty open, humanity is benefitting from it in the same way Tesla, Westi ghouse and Edison benefitted the history of electrical research.

    And yes I'd you're about to tell me Edison did nothing but steal then this is another bit of tech history you've not paid attention to beyond memes.

    The big companies you hate like meta or nvidia are producing papers that explain methods, you can follow along at home and make your own model - though with those examples you don't need to because they've released models on open licenses. Ironically it seems likely you don't understand how this all works or what's happening because zuck is doing significantly more to help society than you are - Ironic, hu?

    And before you tell me about zuck doing genocide or other childish arguments, we're on lemmy which was purposefully designed to remove the power from a top down authority so if an instance pushed for genocide we would have zero power to stop it - the report you're no doubt going go allude to says that Facebook is culpable because it did not have adequate systems in place to control locally run groups...

    I could make good arguments against zuck, I don't think anyone should be able to be that rich but it's funny to me when a group freely shares pytorch and other key tools used to help do things like detect cancer cheaply and efficient, help impoverished communities access education and health resources in their local language, help blind people have independence, etc, etc, all the many positive uses for ai - but you shit on it all simply because you're too lazy and selfish to actually do anything materially constructive to help anyone or anything that doesn't directly benefit you.

  • Yeah, I don't really see it helping, the people who belive him aren't less likely to vote for someone that isn't black. There's no trumpers saying 'oh I really.wanted a black woman as president, guess I'll have to vote the racist guy instead'

  • Do you mean that the headline doesn't contain all the details?

    I get that it's nice to imagine the world is no more complex than the things we see but the president doesn't just come up with cool sounding things while he's up on his podium - Biden has been a hugely effective policy maker and actually got stuff to happen so I think it's silly to suggest he's not got a plan.

  • It's great to see plans working, everyone moaned when the infrastructure was being built that it's too expensive and everyone moaned that transition to renewables is too slow but with the systems in place we've reached the point of rapid uptake and are witnessing a sea change.

    We're now at the point we're going to start seeing coal transportation decline to the point that established lines close, ports redevelop coal infrastructure into general purpose cargo or close all together, meaning the freight line feeding them stop and coal nines only have local industry to sell to - smelting works for example. Coal is horrible to transport and it'll be great to remove all that heavy machinery and dirty work, replaced with some simple straps of copper running underground.

  • In the uk the woodland trust are.putting chargers into car parks so you can atop on a long drive for.a walk in the woods, it's great for those rare long journeies and can tie in with lunch perfectly.

    Supermarkets and similar are doing the same so you can shop and charge at the same time. Were going to see more of this as infrastructure improves and roll out continues, rather than adding time fueling electric cars for most people will remove the need to ever make a stop just to fill up.

  • Yeah I'm too poor for a boat but I know a few people who live on them because they're a cheap way to live a chill life. It's very possible to be working class on s yacht, I've also known a few people who move and crew yachts so it's very way for me to imagine the human tragedy these attacks can bring.

    I hope we can devise a technology to keep people and marine life safe.

  • Wow it's almost like running vital utilities as private for profit companies is a terrible idea and they should be nationalized

    But people hate taxes, they'd rather be forced to pay a larger amount to a private company so shareholders get some of their money for free

  • It's very different for roads, yeah there are of course bottle necks especially due to river crossings but rerouting is much easier.

    Look I get people don't want to see trains as anything other than perfect but if we want trains to be popular and useful we need to live in reality rather than some delusional fantasy,
