Oh okay, i only looked at this community's modlog and was a bit confused. That makes more sense.

Why was OP banned for posting a Reuters link? Or did a mod edit this post somehow after the fact?

Nah its just part of the MLM scheme that is "AI". Its useful because they said it would be useful. Its worth the investment because it cost a lot of money. Once you realize that all these companies care about is revenue and "growth" then it all clicks. It doesnt have to work or be profitable, it just needs to look good to investers.

They will even go as far as firing loads of workers and saying publicly that they "replaced them with AI" while in reality those workers were just doing something that the company was willing to sacrifice. They just replaced something with nothing to make it look like their magic AI can actually do things.

The whole post is good but i will just quote this section.

The "boy genius" story is an example of Silicon Valley's storied "reality distortion field," pioneered by Steve Jobs. Like Jobs, Zuck is a Texas marksman, who fires a shotgun into the side of a barn and then draws a target around the holes. Jobs is remembered for his successes, and forgiven his (many, many) flops, and so is Zuck. The fact that pivot to video was well understood to have been a catastrophic scam didn't stop people from believing Zuck when he announced "metaverse."

Zuck lost more than $70b on metaverse, but, being a boy genius Texas marksman, he is still able to inspire confidence from credulous investors. Zuck's AI initiatives generated huge interest in Meta's stock, with investors betting that Zuck would find ways to keep Meta's growth going, despite the fact that AI has the worst unit economics of any tech venture in living memory. AI is a business that gets more expensive as time goes on, and where the market's willingness to pay goes down over time. This makes the old dotcom economics of "losing money on every sale, but making it up in volume" look positively rosy.

Which one?

Yeah. Dude literally just had to sit in his apartment and watch TV to confirm his kills. How did he ever fuck that up? No literally how, i dont remember anymore its been so long.

You would enjoy the "Rods from God" concept https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment

So thats why the US is barking so much. They are desperate to end this conflict quickly or else Israel will actually end up having to deal with the consequences of its actions.

A toothbrush is probably way cleaner than your mouth tho. It has lots of toothpaste contact and you wash it out after every use.

Why? They are pretty similar in price. Also Valve can afford to sell the SteamDeck at a massive loss, because they get lots of money from the games people buy to play on it. The orange pi neo is also significantly higher performance with twice as many cpu cores and a way stronger gpu.

Arresting foreign agents is reasonable, but execution is just stupid and pointless.

I wrote a comment that kinda called this 20h ago. So predictable.

Yeah i just checked the video and it appeared for like 2 seconds as a side note. He never even tried Brave apparently.

I still wonder to this day if this thing (Neuro-sama) isnt just a really elaborate mechanical turk setup.

Non-paywalled version: https://archive.is/37RtH

This article has some fuckin wild quotes that each by their own should be enough to justify ceasing all trade and cooperation with Israel. I dont think Israel will ever be able to truly understand the depth of its own depravity unless it comes under full occupation like Germany after WW2.

IDF officers told Haaretz that the army does not allow the public in Israel or abroad to see footage of what takes place around the food distribution sites. According to them, the army is satisfied that the GHF's operations have prevented a total collapse of international legitimacy for continuing the war. They believe the IDF has managed to turn Gaza into a "backyard," especially since the war with Iran began.

"Gaza doesn't interest anyone anymore," said a reservist who completed another round of duty in the northern Strip this week. "It's become a place with its own set of rules. The loss of human life means nothing. It's not even an 'unfortunate incident,' like they used to say."

Now combine this with OpenAI's plan to make people wear 24/7 microphone bugs that transcribe all your conversations (See towards the end of the latest Ordinary Things video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuIMZBseAOM) and you get a wonderful dystopian surveillance machine that is a literal 1984 replica.

Maybe he will get luigid by a grieving parent?

Hes going to have Mamdani arrested. Im calling it now.

Efficiency is also a major problem i think. You can always just slap a higher power APU in there, but then you also have to cool that thing. And that means either a higher RPM fan or a larger device with a bigger radiator.

Yeah absolutely zero chance anyone is gonna make a modern smartphone with all parts from a single country. Maybe in China but definitely nowhere else.

For URLs just put the URL into the lemmy search and it will find any posts with it.

For images there isnt really anything because it would require hashing all images uploaded to all instances and then allow people to search through them which is computationally expensive. Basically you want reverse image search like tineye.com but only for lemmy.
