All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They’ve never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.
See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.
My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.
I really can’t wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.
Thanks. I think they do ok in New Zealand though with the Maori.
Well, I’m in Australia so I would try and communicate with the indigenous population and teach them how to defend themselves against the upcoming colonist invasion and take advantage of what they have to offer, starting with forcing a signed treaty.
On a separate note, I just installed a Linux partition on my laptop to dual boot since I still need windows for AGI32 and Autodesk. Next weekend, I’ll be shrinking my windows partition, move my files to a new partition and mount it in Linux so I can access files both ways.
Feels so good to have absolute control of my computer again.
I’m glad I got out when I could because Recall is such a dodgy ‘feature’.

Jokes on them! I got rid of windows last week and now have Linux Mint on my PC! It’s great! All my games run and I’ve set up my own screenshot shortcut in a way that I want. Installing software through terminal commands is also a lot of fun.
But a cloned human is an artificial intelligence.
No, it’s not. Artificial intelligence is something that is artificially created, like a machine, that can think like a human. A human clone is human, literally.
I think we’re both standing from extremely different points of view here on what AI, that is artificial intelligence actually is. But I concede that my statement about it being impossible to create is hyperbolic. We’re can’t say for certain that it’s impossible.
I know that form of ai is not what you are referring to, but why not?
… Because… It’s wrong.
I wouldn’t call investing power and resources to replicate human capability progress. It’s literally going backwards and rebuilding from scratch. Is this line of research honestly worth pursuing at the cost of our climate and environment? It’s the same with the Wright Brothers; their technology paved way for increased consumption of resources and rate of spread of disease.
Yeah we get brand new shiny things but at what cost? Is it worth it in the long run? Is it worth automating human capability when we’ve messed up every single step of our planetary ecosystem?
I would much rather live in a world where all the effort and resources that is currently put into ‘AI’ redirected into sustainable systems. That, to me, is progress that is worth pursuing.
Art can be automated, nature does it all the time.
Ok, first off: what is your definition of automation? This is what I mean when I say automation.
Nature does not automate art. Are you equating the process of, say, almost all bower birds make bowers, therefore that’s automation? Then you have a poor understanding of what automation, art, and therefore AI/LLM, is meant to achieve.
With art, you need to think about the state of mind to create that piece in the first place. Before it was created, it doesn’t exist in any capacity. Why the art piece exists in the first place is the reason why AI cannot automate it because human emotions are very complex.
If an AI/LLM can experience human emotions, we’ve essentially created another type of human. This is deeply profound and, with the technology and materials we have now (that is, the processing chips and hardware), it is simply not possible. We’re at the point where we’re making small, tiny leaps in gains.
Which leads me to…
It’s a prototype, but its also a hardware issue. Soon there will be much more efficient designs and i suspect a rather significant alteration to the architecture of the network that may allow for massively improved efficiency.
It is not a software/coding issue that limits an LLM’s capability to emulate the human psyche. Again, it is not tweaks in code structure that will send us rocketing up the graph of progress. It is the limitation of the actual materials that we use and their maximum efficacy, hence why we need nuclear reactors and so on to power thousands of processors. We will never get to the point of replicating human ability and energy efficiency with the materials that exist in Earth. And, are we going to spend more energy and resources to look to the stars for a material that may or may not exist to create a machine that has the capability to think as a human?
How long did humans take to evolve to the capacity we have? That took hundreds and thousands of years of trial and error. But I digress…
Its inherit to capitalism.
Absolutely agree. The whole purpose of this ‘AI boom’ is to make more money for the <1%, steal from us and hoard it for themselves. On this basis, I completely reject the use of LLMs. Fuck AI.
The issue isn’t automation itself. The issue is the theft, the fact that art cannot be automated and the use of it to further enshittification.
First, the models are based off theft of OUR data and then sold back to us for profit.
Secondly, most AI art is utter crap and doesn’t contribute anything to human society. It’s shallow slop.
Thirdly, having it literally everywhere while also being completely energy inefficient is absolutely dumb. Why are we building nuclear reactors and coal plants to replace what humans can do for cheap??
Edit: further, the sole purpose of AI is to hoard wealth to a small number of people. Calculators, hammers etc. do not have this function and do not also require lots of energy to use.
Honest question and I don’t want to antagonise: If it came to it, what would you give your life for?
It doesn’t matter. The choice was the status quo or something worse for everyone on earth, economically.
Everyone in the world knows the US election system is crap and has been getting more crap for decades. The world isn’t angry at you specifically. The world is angry at the apathy of the general American public and the sheer amount of influence America has over the global economy since WW2.
There were protests for George Floyd. There was the MeToo movement.
But when it comes to a convicted felon and known criminal taking the top seat? Crickets. Anything that isn’t US centric, such as the global economy, doesn’t seem to rustle any of your jimmies. Hence, we’re pissed because your apathy has brought in economic instability on all of us when it could have all been easily prevented.
Something as small as ‘not having the right candidate’ or even ‘sticking it to the libs’ means nothing to the rest of the world when what we have now it’s the alternative.
For a country with so much global power, the populace is so, so, so small minded.
Time to test out Armor Paint this weekend then.
Oooh! I had this back in the day. It was absolutely fantastic. I would love for this to come back again. I miss physical buttons and being able to do everything on the phone with one hand.
What you do not do is drag people into the streets banging pots. It’s not the 1960s
Are you sure? I’m pretty confident that’s what happened on the weekend.
Also, relying on technology owned and controlled by the billionaire class is a bit rich…
Anyway, I don’t want to antagonise you. Just don’t discount the traditional methods of communication thinking it’s ineffective. In a world where privacy is almost non-existent and you’re constantly being monitored, going analogue is one of the best tactics there is.
The point of making the ‘left’, or any opponent, look unhinged is to pressure them into submission. The reason why this works very well is because your media is complicit in amplifying any wrongdoings by any opponents and twisting the perception.
i mean, check out protests in Europe and how they’re framed by their media. Even your Vietnam war protests back in the day; your media started banging on about them being drug users and layabouts to make dismissing their cause much easier.
I just think Americans have lost a lot of people power if you have to protest while walking on eggshells. Best thing to combat it is to have a conversation with everyone. Get people chatting face to face rather than having the TV spout nonsense at them.
Going to migrate to Bazzite. Just need a free weekend to do it.
No, you’re definitely allowed. Otherwise you’d have had your comments removed from the public discourse.
The up and downs just gauge public approval to the comment. Remember, you’re also free to up and down vote to voice your disagreement.
Also remember, if you think everyone around you are assholes then likely you’re the asshole.
Edit: I just saw your other comment on the lack of variety of posts. Be the change you want to see. Find something interesting and make a post!
What some PMs don’t understand is they don’t lead the team but instead they should be supporting the team so that the job gets done on time. Shuffle around resources, reverse manage upper management, protect the team from being derailed etc.
This is in construction, though, and I’ve no idea about how the tech industry works.
