That’s also the problem though, question is where do we put the controls, lets say on the meeting callendar. The obvious is we do it like humans, we have a calendar program, and the AI program is like a human. We set it’s permissions based what it needs at the calendar level. If it has read only access for instance, it won’t accomplish the goal of “summarize everything I need to do in 2 sentances”, by deleting everything your calendar except for 2 items that it can summarize. except the problem is, the AI has more information than it needs to have, IE it’s got leaked security bullitans that the calendar program you are using has a privilage escalation, or it guesses the IT guys admin passwords, etc…

The only real workaround is, more narrowly trained AIs. instead of trying to make every model know every field. they should really be training 100’s different models into specialties. Fact is the customer service AI’s shouldn’t know how to write python scripts period. and honestly that’s probably the biggest thing that makes them bad at their jobs, and waste so much power and resources to do simple tasks. The idea of “one super AI” is IMO the core stupidest part of the AI rush.

Any reasonable person knows we are lying pieces of shit. The fact that you do business with us just shows you are stupid.

and the sad thing is… it’s really getting to that point in life. advertising claims are just so normally bullshit. anything said by a company, a politician, or anything, is unreasonable to believe.

At this rate people will be pushing for no fault divorces after they are caught cheating because… my spouse should have known I didn’t mean any of my vows, any reasonable person would have known I was a monster before the wedding.

I’m kind of torn on it, because the investors etc… are too, batshit stupid for me to make any sense. On one hand at the surface it seems like that should be the criteria of embarassment. IE we can’t control our AI, the old fictional AI concept of the paperclip problem is coming true (was an old thought experiment of an AI told to make as many paperclips as possible, and eventually it starts stealing resources and in the end just starts making paperclips out of people).

Logically talking about this SHOULD be really stupid, these should be negative, yet somehow investors, governments etc… are seeing “this technology is dangerous, we have to be the first to master it at all costs!”, which since that seems to be the case it does make sense to lie about it.

wonder what would happen if doom took that into the plot… doomguy discovers, hell is not real, it’s just a simulation of hell. and he’s just been a fly forced to play.

Maybe he can get away with it using say the strategy pepsi tried for their millitary jet comercial etc… IE a “no reasonable person would believe it was a real offer”.

I think it’s gotten to the point where “look at this”, and then proceed to fuck it up so bad that it’s on the same scale as the last thing. So now there’s no not completely fucked up thing to point to… and thus the only workaround is just “AI images saying things are going good”.

Gas is down, in spite of being record high.

Inflation is down - in spite of everything.

Everythings affordable - things are not

Look at all we’re doing with health (10th major “you will die quality recall”, return of measles.

So let’s attack Biden over his son’s medical issue while ignoring the billions that Trump’s family is making.

I was happy to cheer for him when his greatest flaw was his severe drug addiction, and loved watching him clap at conservatives perl clutching etc… over him.

But this meme coin grift. He’s litterally burned the leg he was standing on. and it’s a fricking stupid reason to do it because it’s going to flop big time because… 1. people on the left aren’t as quick to jump into a ponzi grift like meme coins. 2. No one will ever imagine the biden’s taking power again, and thus no millionare with half a brain is going to be investing in this coin for hte purposes of political influence.

I don’t think even his worse sycophants wouldn’t have thought his truth social posts were a good idea. Depicting himself as jesus etc… So I do have to kind of conclude, at the very least someone has either set up something so easy he can use it, or he’s able to use it on his own already.

The point is, they are using the functional specialized machine learning systems, as a way to justify building thousand of data centers to build LLMs.

They absolutely do suck, but I can see some practical uses for them. IE I can see LLM’s as useful in localized specialized uses. for me I’d really like basically LLM as a like calendar, scheduling kind of thing, also say translating home assistant commands through a voice assistant to make it figure out actual intent etc…, nothing super mission critical, but also mostly things I wouldn’t want any 3rd party service that could change the rules for me, share them to others etc…

I find this unlikely… IMO I think they are hedging in both directions.

Personally I like the idea of local AI. open source models that you an control, decide, and use smartly, sort your things etc… and not pay an absurd cost or link up.

Personally I think MS is actually betting on the opposite. IE they had a prototype windows that was basically just an AI prompt, no start menu etc… and applications just “streamed”.

IMO I think that’s more of the goal, use the data center buildout to drive up hardware prices, until people cannot afford a basic PC. Sell thin clients… then sell us “access” to compute in a form where we own nothing, but pay by the processes used etc…

Agreed, though that might be the way to actually get people who aren’t already opposed to stupid warhawks saying stupid warhawk things to apply some critical thinking to what’s being proposed. Because I’d say almost everyone can tell at a glance how stupid this idea is, but a lot of trump supporters wouldn’t apply the slightest bit of critical thought to something that came from trumps Institute of Peace.

rooted in a well-documented pattern of unfair trade, subsidies, intellectual property theft and surveillance

I have faith in America, there’s no way we’re losing to china in patterns of unfair trade, subsidies, IP theft and surveillance.

No no you win by having continuous construction projects that never finish and rack up “points” (IE taxpayer dollars) through your cronies.

Agreed that’s trying to preserve the workaround, without fixing the problem.

Problem is it doesn’t matter, the reality is, demand for jobs, and people who need to survive… isn’t a number guaranteed to match, and between automation, and wages falling so far behind inflation that many households need 2+ incomes just to keep the lights on, an unemployment problem is inevitable.

If AI actually can cut enough jobs, that the number of jobs available, is less than the number of people who WANT to work, then all we need to do is make it so people don’t HAVE to work.

Wasn’t even close to saying he shouldn’t be in jail, just saying the story puts so much emphasis on facts that literally have zero relevance to what actually happened. At bare minimum that should be manslaughter, assuming 100% of his story as true and the gun went off accidentally.

Honestly based on the heated arguements before, I’d be skeptical and lean towards murder.

The thing I find somewhat odd of the story, is if the facts are accurate, what’s even the point of the trump arguement. It feels like the article is flooded with basically details not directly related to the shooting. The “relapsed alchoholic that had 2 glasses of wine”, the topic of the arguements (and even the specific things said in them).

Actual relevant facts of the shooting.

Dad had an arguement with the daughter.

Several hours later they had an arguement on guns, Dad brought out gun to show her… then claims he accidentally shot her.

Point is the arguement doesn’t really hold relevance, Dad either horribly mishandled the firearm, in which case the situations up to it were irrelevant.

Or dad murdered his daughter in a fit of rage.

I don’t think so… I honestly think the direction anyone supporting the AI bubble wants, is going to be streaming games. You won’t run them on the PC… they will run out of a data center and your inputs will go back ot the data center, You’ll own nothing, you’ll adapt to paying a subscription price for single player games, hell instead of monthly you could pay by the hour or minute.

A letter warning that they might consider supporting their primary opponent. Unless that primary opponent actually wants to consider even a baseline of progressive policies, or heaven for bid uses the word socialism in a non negative context.
