Back in the 90s in college I took a Technology course, which discussed how technology has historically developed, why some things are adopted and other seemingly good ideas don’t make it.
One of the things that is required for a technology to succeed is public acceptance. That is why AI is doomed.
It’s just a plausible mechanism for immortality since it exists in nature and it lets you be young again. It would be nice not to have all the random pains and aches that come with age and get a reset on physical youth when needed.
It’s more like biotic reversal so no time travel, just suddenly de-aging until just before biological puberty in a similar fashion as turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish. Ideally, memory and personality remain intact. Afterwards, aging begins again normally so it’s effective biological immortality.
Hmm. Can I revert to preadolescence like an immortal jellyfish?
I don’t relish the idea of doing puberty again, but it’d probably be easier the second time.
How brazen do you have to be to get convicted of bribery as a congresscritter? If he had just had a fundraising dinner with $500k plates he’d have been totally fine, but no he went with stuffing gold bars into his clothes. It just shows how these people think that consequences are for other people.
If the fascists come to power I hope I get to see this guy get purged before they come for me.
And then reversed again when the Extreme Court gets a hold of it. It must be nice to have your criminal cases decided by justices you’ve appointed.
See, you might have noticed that I never claimed perfect English existed in Germany (or anywhere). You seem to be attempting to win an argument that doesn’t exist.
See, that is what I mean. Nobody speaks “perfect” English, not even native speakers, because languages are not prescriptive. Their function is to communicate ideas and if you have successfully communicated then you have used language “perfectly”.
Only because of their exacting standards. Even when I lived in Germany in the 90s the only time I had trouble understanding someone speaking English was when our realtor was trying to be racist but didn’t know the English words.
Having spent time with people in this exact situation. I’d probably live my life like I normally do, because that increasingly fleeting sense of normalcy would mean everything. Sure, I’d spend more time with my loved ones and make arrangements and such, but I wouldn’t quit my job.
Well that certainly blows up any argument it was staged. You don’t fake shoot a real bullet past your fake targets head.
Right after meeting with Orban who just met with Putin? I don’t know if I really think that, but I would say it’s possible.
Well things are about to get a whole lot worse. That raised fist is going to be printed on all the right-wing crazy stuff and they will use this to justify violence against anyone opposing Trump.
Well, as me and my family are torn apart and sent to re-education camps at least I’ll have the comfort of knowing Joe “gave it his all”.
Looks like a limited injunction so far, but she intends to rule before the ban goes into effect and we can probably guess whose side this Federalist Society judge will come down on.
I was thinking about Ohio too. Plus the lawsuits the Heritage Foundation is already loading to keep Biden on the ballot.
But if he resigns, it would likely make things easier.
I’m still not convinced he is going to do that though.
Biden definitely is thinking about Johnsons disastrous late departure from the race in 1968 leading to brawls on the convention floor and competing slates of delegates that ultimately led to Humphrey getting nominated. His loss was blamed on the chaos at the convention.
if he leaves at all it wouldn’t be right before the convention.
Same issues with frame stuttering on 555.xx and Plasma 6.1.1, but with 550.xx I was getting ghost frames in xwayland applications. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon, I really want nvidia to work with Wayland.
Yeah, I mean the AI being shoveled at us by techbros. Actual ML stuff is currently and will continue to be useful for all sorts on not-sexy but vital research and production tasks. I do task automation for my job and I use things like transcription models and OCR, my company uses smart sorting using rapid image recognition and other really cool uses for computers to do things that humans are bad at. It’s things like LLMs that just aren’t there - yet. I have seen very early research on AI that is trained to actually understand language and learns by context, it’s years away, but eventually we might see AI that really can do what the current AI companies are claiming.
