i believe this is because american universities have access to the most resources with which to perform expensive, difficult, but rewarding research. Those resources are now being stripped away. If another country is willing to supply the necessary resources for expensive research then researchers will go there. Source - am scientist.

My suggestion would let some people make less profit. This is the issue in every industry. The rich do not 'take less profit' - they offset costs to the poor, whether that is a financial cost or a reduction in available resources i.e. less food i.e. food costs more for the poors. I agree with everything else you're saying, but food production can't just be cut - it has to be shifted to a more eco-friendly version slowly and manageably to avoid catastrophe.

or Poland and Austria

I can agree that a nuclear arsenal is (or rather, should be) a good deterrent against international aggression, but why does everyone need so many?! I wonder if it has to do with processing i.e. one 'process' produces tens or hundreds of warheads worth of material..

oh no worries guys, thats plenty to destroy the planet.

Yea this has been the plan since 1897 as stated at the first zionist conference

May be == may not be

it does look like spam - but it is interesting! Especially the linked article under the 'native ai-memory' tab (https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.18312). This concept of short-term and long-term USEFUL memory for LLMs is super interesting. I'd definitely be apprehensive about using a third party to do something like this though. This is something where you want to self host every aspect of the tool.

this is fucking ridiculous. The whole system is inept. Aren't the police supposed to arrest criminals? Arrest the people who kidnapped and facilitated the kidnapping and human trafficking of Kilmar.

most people have absolutely no idea how to 'run it through an ai voice program' ..... yet

your local public library (if in US) should offer free language courses online - all you need is a library card

so yea, they should unionize.

but if any other leader is elected, it was a SHAM and STOLEN ELECTION! so theyre just fascists who want their xenophobe in chief to reign supreme

I am gonna give Al Jazeera the benefit of the doubt here and assume that since this article comes from their 'Explainer' section, that they purposefully wrote the headline in a way that a person searching for that question would end up at this article. Maybe they are targeting people who would read that headline and think 'Oh wow does he?' as opposed to people (like me) who would read that headline and think 'yea doubt it'

Dude immigrants are like the most patriotic people - literally uprooting their lives to come here and work to achieve the american dream - and still the Con's want to kick them out rather than naturalize because they can't recognize brown people as humans.

Sci-fi writer Ursula Leguin wrote a book about an anarcho-syndicalistic society called The Dispossessed. In that book, those who 'opted out' of this society were barred from enjoying the fruits of the collective labor but could still live on the outskirts and start their own subsistence farm or whatever. Societal control in that story was basically maintained through personal relationships among the community (shame those who don't want to contribute) whereas the capitalistic society control method is threaten with death by restricting access to resources (home,food,water,etc). I'm not saying public shaming is the best route, but it's still more humane than work or die.

Kagi = best 5$/mo I spend. Found them in my de-googling process.

probably garnishing of wages for student loans in default (despite previous administration providing more payment leniency) and then handing that money directly to Boeing execs to congratulate them on destroying Boeing

I agree on both counts - honestly, a lot of companies are probably just posting job openings (that will purposefully remain vacant) with titles like AI Prompt Engineer and SEO Specialist to help boost shareholder confidence. I think I'm just fighting against the idea that LLMs should be used like a search engine - i know you didnt suggest that but I've been reading a lot recently about 'ChatGPT lies!' when in reality people are wrongly using a pattern recognition system like its a search engine.
