You promise to pay for their college after telling them their whole life that college is mandatory. Bonus points if you fuck up the economy enough to ensure they cant afford college any other way. Bonus bonus points if you convince them its their patriotic duty and then brainwash them into following commands withiut questioning them. Lastly, double or nothing for somehow managing to secure a third of the gdp of your entire country so you can fund bombs exclusively to kill civilians.

Native english speaker here, that has always baffled me. I learned in like first grade that you can mash two words together and all you need is an apostrophe. If it has an apostrophe (and isnt possesive) then its two words. I can definitely understand confusion about there/their and stuff like that, but not knowing “it’s” and similar conjunctions is wild to me.

Obv for a non native speaker i genuinely dont care how you speak, as long as i have an idea of what youre trying to say. I dont care for natives either, but it does make me curious how they got through school without paying attention. Although if you live in the US currently, im sure youre aware that wondering how people got through school is a daily occurance.

Well its been well established the rational people and MAGA simply cant coexist, so I would imagine the war is going to look pretty terrible for everyone. But if we dont pull this tumor out its will only bed itself deeper into our society. Half of the US has already demonstrated that they will violently destroy any attempt at progress and salt the Earth so those options are lost forever. Yeah, id say the war is going to suck.

But either we win and we actually get to start making progress, or we lose and the world actually becomes idiocracy now that those who care and those who have central nervous systems have been killed. Either the world finally stops being mustashe twirlingly comically evil, or me and mine are no longer in this world.

Its so fucking frustrating that democrats and centrists insist on propogating a broken system of civility politics. The law exists for a damn reason, when people break it they deserve whatever punishment society has deemed them of. And yet when we have clearly guilty individuals the “good guys” dont want to rock the boat. Fucking do ANYTHING other than let them continue ffs

Average viewer doesnt think, average producer is running a grift

Ah, but you have made the classical mistake of assuming they think/ actually believe what they are saying and arent just trying to disenfranchise billions.

Even in nature, the mother takes priority. Biologically the mother is a massive resource investment. She can make more kids. So if its a choice between the mother and the child, biologically, ethically, and logically the mother takes priority.

Idk why im even commenting, like you said people are either pro-choice or theyre wrong, and theres no convincing them otherwise. I just desperately wish we had some way to segregate all the people that dont want the world to improve so they couldnt interefere with a functional society.

I genuinely cannot wait for the civil war to pop off. This country needs to be cleansed by fire

Yeah, even ignoring that, theres no way that claim is valid. The price of food here has over doubled since 2019. I used to work at a store during that time and got a burrito every single day, after tax it came to $1.03. Now, at the same store, same burrito, it cost $2.46 after tax. My $3 box of snack cakes comes to $5 now, cigarettes have almost trippled, and my rent has almost doubled since i moved here in 2020. Almost everything here is at least twice as expensive as it was in 2019, and my wage has only gone from about $9/h to about $12/h. I even have pictures of price tags from then, once i find them ill upload then/now pictures of the price tags.

For me its not so much that, its moreso just that I am disgusted by those that claim to be virtuous and pretend to care. Most people only care about others socially, when those people are struggling they rarely help unless theres social consequences for not helping.

I just hate hypocrites

Okay, so the rest of this is just theory crafting based on logical reasoning, but id like to hear your take. Quickly googling, it shows that we have succesfully mapped the neurons in one millimeter of mouse brain, and it had about 200,000 cells (neural nodes). Thats a lot of neural nodes to emulate, let alone the connections. It would seem to me that its far easier to customize our hardware. Mossfets dont strike me as up to the task, so it would seem to me that the future of ai lies in growing actual neurons and training them. You would achieve a much higher neural density that way, and the work is already being done to make that tech feasible.

Basically, do you think its a hardware issue?

Oh wow, didnt realise molotovs are illegal. Obv theyre illegal to use on someone, but merely possessing one being illegal is absurd. Seeing as that is off the table, yeah it seems a firearm is the way to go. Those seem less personal though, and they dont do much to obscure your location so return fire is to be expected. I guess my only advise there is to use hollow point so you dont shoot your neighbors.

Not everyone has an AR nor the neccassary training to use one safely. You cant possibly fuck up a molotov, and it has the benefit of blinding the aggressor which dramatically reduces chances of you recieving return fire. Yeah, fire is a risk, but it sends a pewerful message. I dont think you could get away with putting maga heads on spikes outside your house, so the vague smell of burning flesh might give any further aggressors a clue.

Downvotes mean nothing other than stifle conversations on lemmy anyways, and fortunately i woke up to find that a bunch fo people were willing to have pretty solid discussions on the matter. All in all, it definitely seems people here are more willing to doscuss the problems than somewhere like c/fuckai

I learned something and i like to think i got people thinking, so id say it was worthwhile :)

It is a massive assumption, but i tend to operate on the belief that capitalism will fall soon and some decent system will appear, because otherwise all this is a moot point anyways. Without the destruction of capitalism well all be dead within 20 years, so i dont find it as entertaining to speculate about a future where we are still bound by things like our economy. As far as the progression of ai this last year, didnt claude just learn to lie? Thats a huge step in development, not because its good, but because it shows our models are progressing. They know what were aiming for and theyre willing to lie to get to that target, which does actually show the most basic level of problem solving. Thats… huge actually.

Im not entirely convinced this is accurate. I do see your point and i had not considered that there is no more training data to use, but at the end of the day our current ai is just pattern recognition. Hence, would you not be able to use a hybrid system where you set up billions of use cases(translate point a to point b, apply a force such that object a rolls a specified distance, set up a neural network using backpropogation with 3 hidden layers, etc) and then have two adversarial ais. One of which attempts to “solve” that use case by randomly trying stuff, and the other basically just says “youre not doing good enough and heres why”. Once your first is doing a good job with that very specific use case, index it. Now when people ask for that specifc use case or a larger problem that includes that use case, you dont even need AI. You just plug in the already solved solution. Now your code base becomes basically just AI filling out wvery possibly question on stack overflow.

Obviously this isnt actual coding with AI, at the end of the day youre still doing all the heavy lifting. Its effectively no different from how most coders code today, just steal code from stack overflow XD the only difference would be that stack overflow is basically filled with every conceivable question, and if youre isnt answered, you can just request that they set up a new set of ad ais to solve the new problem.

Secondarily, you are the first person to give me a solid reason as to why the current pardigm is unworkable. Despite my mediocre recall i have spent most of my life studying AI well before all this llm stuff, so i like to think i was at least well educated on the topic at one point. I appreciate your response. I am somewhat curious about what architecture changes need to be made to allow for actual problem solving. The entire point of a nerual network is to replicate the way we think, so why do current AIs only seem to be good at pattern recognition and not even the most basic of problem solving? Perhaps the architecture is fine, but we simply need to train up generational ais that specifically focus on problem solving instead of pattern recog?

Yeah bro, america has lost. That happened a couple years ago. It hasnt been safe for minorities or lgbt for quite some time.

Everybodys gangsta til they catch a molotov removedtail to the face. A ring camera, a fire extinguisher. Hard to shoot someone when youre on fire. And you should know theyre coming. The moment anyone enters the threshold, neutralize them. If you want to be a good Samaritan ensure they cant threaten anyone else.

Ok i doubt anyone is going to be willing to have this discussion, but here i am. My assessment is as follows: it would seem to me that to be of value, “ai” doesnt need to be perfect, it just needs to be better than the average programmer. If it can produce the same quality code twice as fast, or if it can produce code thats twice as good in the same amount of time. If I want it to code me a video game, i would personally judge it by how well it does against what i would expect from human programmers. Currently there is no comparison, im no coding expert but even i find myself correcting ai for even the simplest of code, but thats only temporary. Ten years ago this tech didnt even exist, ten years from now(assuming it doesnt crash our economy in more ways than one) i would imagine the software will at least be comparable to an entry level programmer.

I guess what Im getting at is that people rail against ai for faults that a human would make worse. Like self driving cars, having seen human drivers i am definitely wanting that tech to work out. Obviously its ideal for it to be perfect and coordinate with other smart cars to reduce traffic loads and inprove safety for everyone. But as long as its safer than a human driver, i would prefer it. As long as it codes better than your average overworked unpaid programmer, it becomes a useful tool.

That being said, I do see tons of legitimate reasons to dislike AI, especially in its current form. A lot, id say most, of those issues dont actually lie with AI at all, or even with llms. Most of the issues ive heard with AI development are actually thinly veiled complaints about capitalism, which is objectively failing even without AI. The others are mostly complaints about the current state of the tech, which i find to be less valid. Its like complaining that your original ipod didnt have lidar built in like they do now. Nixing the capitalism issue about how this tech will be used, and how its currently being funded, and its environmental impacts, and the fact that this level of research is unsustainable and will collapse the economy, give the tech time and it will mature. That almost feels like sarcasm given those very real issues, but again, those are all capitlism issues. If we were serious about saving our planet, a guardian AI that automatically drone strikes sorices of intense pollution would go a long way. If youre worried about robots takin yer jerbs, try not being capitalism-pilled and realise that humans got by for eons without jobs or class structures. Post scarcity is almost mandatory under proper AI, and capitlism exists to ensure that post scarcity cant happen.

Well, im too poor and young for life insurance, same would go for health insurance but before i got my job it was easy enough to get on soonercare. Now that i make more than 1800/month i just dont have health insurance either. As far as a job, no job requires that you disclose that. I do however normally tell my boss im prescribed medicine so they dont think im pill popping, but they dont need to know what medicine.

Social media and the loneliness epidemic are the same picture. If we want our society to heal and stop being so dramatically polarized, we need to eat the rich and get everyone off social media. And get everyone educated to high school graduate level at a minimum.
