Sure, but I assume it’s easier to collect wastewater for proper disposal than the air pollutants.

Better DOS program support?

It’s a sensor relying on image recognition, which is only as reliable as the image recognition software. The more clever software tries to be, the more potential failure states that exist.

They’re still planning on making a new Xbox? Sometimes I forget there’s an Xbox console anymore.

They can be trained to understand the distinction.

No it can’t because of how LLMs work. All “safety” built on top of models now are just band-aids and bubble gum stuck in strategic areas hoping that cases get caught.

There are multiple goals in mind such as surveillance, pumping the stock market, taking control out of people’s hands, excuses to do things like lay people off, etc. In this case or in general for local governments, it’s a matter of a select number of people getting a lot of money in their pockets and thus pushing for these data centers to happen.

One problem with capitalism is that everything is for sale, including the government. The AI industry is intentionally positioning themselves as “too big to fail” so that they can guarantee a government bailout. As for the dotcom bubble, sure the smaller players were allowed to fail, but that just meant more room for the larger players like google and amazon to take over and now they’re definitely too big to fail. With AI, we already have a small handful of huge players and they’ve convinced the government that this is a matter of national security.

On top of that, people’s retirements are more tied to the stupid stock market than ever before, so the government will use that as an excuse to bail out these companies, hence the rush to IPO and enter indexes.

The more that franchisees can bear to pay in rent, the more corporate can charge, so the franchisees hiring fewer people is maximizing shareholder value even if indirectly.

We’ve been subsidizing and supporting domestic EV manufacturing for longer than China has and yet US manufacturers dragged their feet in favor of higher profit margins. Of the electric vehicles they have managed to come out with, they’ve tended to price them higher even after the tax credit in order to maintain that high profit margin. The American manufacturers don’t care unless they feel threatened. That’s why it took Japanese competition in the 80s to make them get their act together.

In April 2023, the Joe Biden administration set a target to ensure 56% of all new cars sold in the U.S. by 2032 would be electric.

and we would’ve been able to easily achieve that if he didn’t also slap 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs.

It certainly saves time because of course plagiarism saves time. Does it mean people are doing their job better or more productively? Depends on how carefully they review that AI output, but I have a feeling that people aren’t always so vigilant. That’s where the technical debt creeps in.

This “moral code” would only be a suggestion rather than a hard constraint, given how this current iteration of AI works.

The next step after all AI company logos looking like an anus.

Not from AI, except for nvidia who sells the tools for others to lose money on AI.

Not just 20 extra people. I’m seeing a funny trend in my company where managers decide to get into vibe coding and they get super excited at getting something somewhat functional running, so now they’ve been presenting “their work” and expecting developers to merge their heaping trash in. That’ll require quite a few more people.

Vibe coding is basically poorly rewriting dependencies.

I’d rather use a weak single board computer for all my computing needs than rely on some corporate-controlled remote server. As much as these corporations would love for us to only have a dumb terminal, the minimal computer of today has a lot of power.

It depends on what you consider worse. Deepseek will outright refuse to answer a question, but other models will happily answer with poisoned data.

See for example, grok translations of neutral questions about israel completely changing the questions: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXpK0BvFOUn/

and israel investing in influencing the output of chatgpt: https://www.ynetnews.com/tech-and-digital/article/rj00kxqzaxx

Both are forms of censorship and both are bad, but personally I’d rather an AI shut up than slip in misinformation. If someone is going to take AI at its word (which people shouldn’t do, but you know how people are) then the misinformation will be taken as truth, but a message saying “I can’t discuss such things” will make someone turn elsewhere for answers.

Now ask western models about israel.

These politicians are either gigantic morons or malicious pieces of shit. Probably both.
