  • Yeah they should have just checked his LinkedIn page

  • There are few if any good female role models for the same type of spaces.

    This is such an odd take that I'm really not sure what type of spaces you're referring to exactly

  • This is absolutely it.

    No, they don't want people who hate Elon like another commenter suggested – the idea that a scammer would think that the people who are most likely to fall for their Elon crypto scam are the haters and not the people who are uncontrollably guzzling his cum is frankly bizarre.

  • Scammers want to attract people who are gullible and stupid enough that they don't see they're getting scammed.

    People who are "worked up" about Elon aren't going to watch a scam video that purports to be by Elon / SpaceX / whatever and go "by golly, I clicked on this link because I get so worked up about Elon, but he's saying he can make me rich. Maybe I've been wrong about him the whole time and I need to check this thing out?"

  • Somebody commented earlier about Cummins being a funny name. Turns out there's a company called Cummins that, among other things, makes generators, so it's just the classic "thingamabob powered by {CORPORATION_NAME}" that you see in marketing speak all the time.

  • Ah, the Russian version of Love Boat.

    Cope Boat soon will be making another run The Cope Boat promises nothing for anyone Set a course for adventure, Your mind on a new war crime.

  • First time on NCD?

  • It's the frog-shaped ones, duh

  • There aren't enough role models teaching them that you can be a man without being toxic to women.

    Is this really the problem, or is the problem that the sort of people with role models like Tate are the sort of people who wouldn't gravitate towards non-toxic role models in the first place?

    Because if it's actually true that there are very few good male role models to choose from, I'm not entirely sure what that tells us about men, exactly.

  • I can't wait for the AI bubble to burst, it's like every company out there is just pumping out "AI" bullshit that nobody asked for and nobody wants

  • Seems no, to me: a human lawyer wouldn't, for instance, make up case law that doesn't exist. AI has done that one already. If it had even the most basic understanding of what the law is and does, it would have known not to do that.

    LLMs don't have an understanding of anything, but that doesn't mean all AI in perpetuity is incapable of having an understanding of eg. what the law is. Edit: oh and also, it's not like human lawyers are incapable of mistakenly "inventing" case law just by remembering something wrong.

    As to whether human intelligence is statistics, well… our brains are neural networks, and ultimately neural networks – whether made from meat or otherwise – are "just statistics." So in a way I guess our intelligence is "just statistics", but honestly the whole question is sort of missing the point; the problem with AI (which right now really means LLMs) isn't the fact that they're "just statistics", and whether you think human intelligence is or isn't "just statistics" doesn't really tell you anything about why our brains perform better than LLMs

  • She seems like the sort of person one of whose hobbies is pulling wings off flies

  • But it is, and it always has been. Absurdly complexly layered statistics, calculated faster than a human could.

    Well sure, but as someone else said even heat is statistics. Saying "ML is just statistics" is so reductionist as to be meaningless. Heat is just statistics. Biology is just physics. Forests are just trees.

  • While I don't disagree with that statement at all, I honestly have no idea how it's related to my comment (probably because I'm an idjit)

  • iT's JuSt StAtIsTiCs

  • It’s mostly just “eh, this seems to work I dunno let’s keep doing it and see what happens”.

    Yeah, no.

  • I guess in a literal sense all generators are powered by effort

  • Gotta have that sense of accomplishment. :)

    Absolutely! Unfortunately they don't seem to sell home generators powered by a sense of accomplishment :(
