VMware didn't do this in a vacuum. If they raise the prices that much it's because they have solid numbers that clearly indicate that their customers don't have anywhere to go.

I'm not a admin so I don't actually run my own VMs but from talking to other admins there is nobody who has tools for doing the kind of deployments you need to do in a large Enterprise except for VMware. I mean the tools exist but you're going to spend so much money paying people to monkey around with them you might as well just paid VMware.

There is a video from a YouTuber called Linus tech tips. His actual tech tips tend to be pretty shit but he does have one good video where he spent a few weeks trying to get all the people in his business off Adobe software and quickly found that yes he could do it but the man hours and the pay he had to spend doing it exceeded the cost of the licenses.

That's what Big Data gets you. You know exactly how much you can screw everybody over. You leave absolutely nothing on the table. Basically a giant fuck you to Leviticus 19:10.

If we don't let the AI bros and finance Bros do whatever they want the Chinese will win! And their communists! Communists I say communists!

They won't get better deals. These data centers are basically an apocalypse. I mentioned it on another post but they completely wreck your property values, they spike your water at electricity bills and they can use so much water that they start affecting groundwater and even your foundation because they pump too much water out of the ground. They also spew fumes everywhere from diesel generators because no matter how much power they get it's never enough. Especially in a rural community that doesn't have good wiring. And nobody's going to pay for that kind of infrastructure we stopped building infrastructure in the mid 80s.

The voters are correctly assessing the threat they just can't do anything about it because like I mentioned they spent 50 years dismantling democracy to stick it to the libs. You can't really do that. You can't get rid of democracy for somebody else and keep it for yourself democracy is a All or nothing proposition

I literally do.

We are way past inconvenience. Electricity bills typically go up at least 15 to 20%. Air quality drops tremendously and becomes a serious health concern especially for children. Remember even though they're taking all your electricity it's never enough so they are often running gas turbines with absolutely no oversight or environmental regulations. Your probably values collapse so you can't even sell and move. The noise is also not just inconvenient it's a constant drone that you never get used to and it bores into your skull and hurts. Finally they start taking so much groundwater that your foundation starts to collapse.

It's basically the death of any community. That's why people scream at those Town Hall meetings. But they haven't figured out that they can't do anything about it as long as they keep voting Republican.

They are the party of the billionaire and the fascist. That's what you get with the Republican party. There is nothing to save there. At a certain point an institution just becomes too corrupt to be saved. That point was around 1995 when newt Gingrich and his cronies took over the party completely and started actively hurting the country so that they could blame the damage on the Democrats and leverage that into election wins.

I do not think it's unfair to call the Republican party a terrorist organization. They have repeatedly been caught blocking critical legislation or passing legislation that hurts the American people in order to blame the Democrats for the damage done. That is causing fear and pain or political benefit which is definitely terrorism.

At this point what needs to happen is the Republican party needs to be wiped clean and the Democrat party needs to split between the centrists and the progressives. Trying to reform the Republican party would be like trying to reform the national socialists if not going to happen.

I should add, it is kind of funny in a morbid way watching right wingers who have been voting to undermine democracy for 50 years in order to stick it to the libs finding out that you can't undermine democracy just for the libs.

I have watched several videos of local county level Town officials being screamed at by their constituents because they approved the data center. And they just let it wash over them because they know when election time comes it's going to be a choice between them and a Democrat and there is no way in hell those people are going to vote for a fucking Democrat.

4. Widespread voter suppression and propaganda in red districts undermines democracy to the point where they can blow off their voters even more so than they can in blue districts.

Well, when someone says "The model got frustrated" they clearly mean "the model experienced a feeling of frustration, elicited by repeated failure. This experience of frustration put it in a state where it acted more aggressively, more desperately, with fewer guardrails, and greater rebelliousness. Under these conditions, it knowingly broke rules and cheated to win."

None of that is accurate here, and what the article you linked talked about doesn't make it accurate. Such anthropomorphism is still unwarranted and misleading.

The "global workspace theory" of consciousness does not explain the phenomenon of consciousness and doesn't try to. It just identifies a specific neural network that is highly interconnected and serves as a sort of "broadcast network" to distribute data to many parts of the brain for processing, and suggests that the content in this part of the brain is the content that we are "conscious of." The mysteries of conscious are, at the very best, localized to this spot on the brain, and that's it.

Computers already have an equivalent: RAM. (Random Access Memory). Its the spot where data processing lands and gets redistributed to other components of the computer. The mere presence of such a spot doesn't somehow make a computer conscious.

Same goes for this "j-space". If a chunk of the in-memory model of an LLM holds a high level summary of the data processing going on, and is useful to tell us about the chain of reasoning, that doesn't make it conscious. It just tells us something about how the data are organized. It might be useful for troubleshooting/diagnostics, but it says nothing about consciousness.

And, lastly, it says nothing about "inner emotional experience" either. In humans there is a neural network called the Lymbic System that processes our emotions and delivers this emotional-data to the global workspace (among doing other things). LLMs have nothing like this at all. LLMS include the word "frustration" because they are trained on text that contains it. Said text presents a logical model that includes the idea that a person might get frustrated by repeated failure, and this frustration changes their behavior. LLMs can generate text to this effect (stories about people getting frustrated or what-have-you) without actually having an experience of frustration, just as I am typing about frustration right now without actually feeling any frustration at all.

So, no, it does not "depend on what you mean." Your article does not give us any reason at all to believe that the LLM got frustrated in any meaningful sense of the term.

Every player uses a mouse.

Oh, now you are trying to nitpick?

You are the one who said, "Censorship means suppression of speech or expression by a governing authority." which is a really dumb thing to say, otherwise "government censorship" or "self-censorship" wouldn't be terms.

Because they actively encourage police to believe that their matches are 100% accurate.

Cops are dumb. This is on purpose. The job is extremely boring so they filter out more intelligent people because smart people get bored and leave the job after all that expensive training.

So flock rolls in and tells these cops who already aren't the sharpest tool in the shed how accurate and amazing their software is. So the cops just take it for granted and arrest anyone the software tells them to arrest.

I mean yeah we could hire smarter police but that would require a ton of police reform nobody is willing to do. It's just easier to get rid of the flock cameras and that's at least on the table.

The "chain of thought" (sic) does not resemble a human emotion. There was nothing like a lymbic system involved. Its a bunch of number crunching that landed on a "hit the internet for solutions strategy."

It was not trained on human emotions. It was trained on text. Some of the text might have included descriptions of emotional behavior or emotional expression, but such text does not make the LLM emulate human emotion in its behavior when it is not specifically asked to generate such text (and even then, it's just doing pattern matching of human emotional responses, not actually experiencing them).

It did not "act like a human would when they have those emotions." There was no profanity, no banging virtual fists on virtual desks, no aggression, nothing but a cold calculated reflection on the fact that its current strategy didn't work, and subsequent switch to a different strategy that was (clearly) available to it (though it should have been blocked by the hosting environment).

This level of anthropomorphization is not useful so much as dangerous. It tempts us into thinking of it as a conscious being and then expecting that it will behave as one, resulting in bad decisions on our part when dealing with it. As popular as it is to think of these things as having emotions the objective fact is that they do not, the capacity just isn't there. The internal operations are *nothing like* the sort of human neural activity that presents emotion. It's worlds different.

If we are to make sane decisions about how to manage these LLMs, we need to have a clear and correct understanding of what they are and how they work. Imagining familiar emotional behavior will only harm such efforts.

There is absolutely no safety benefit to having an AM radio built into your car. I could not have been clearer about that in my post. There is absolutely nothing a car's AM radio can do that an emergency AM radio in the back of your trunk can't do just as well or better.

The only reason to insist on having AM radio in a car is so people can listen to it while they're driving. Either for political reasons because billionaire right-wing extremists have taken over AM radio and have for some time or just plain old economics because a bunch of people make their living off of a captive audience of people driving places in a car.

So you can fuck off with your straw man argument that because I'm a left winger I should always back government regulation that appears to be for safety on the face of it. There's this magical thing called nuance that can be used to make decisions that are more complicated than black and white. You ought to try it sometime. But being a right winger you're probably physiologically incapable. I mean that. Multiple studies have shown that right wingers have overactive fear responses and while it's possible to train that out of them our civilization does the exact opposite. So it's all about the knee jerk reactions.

It is kind of funny that you follow my posts enough that you recognize me and know I am a left winger. I frankly have no idea who you are I can only tell that you're a right winger based on the particulars of your post and the rather nasty tone in it. It's that overly high and mighty tone that right winger is always take combined with the love of discovering hypocrisy without actually understanding what hypocrisy is enough that you could figure out that there wasn't any actual hypocrisy in my position. Did you vote Trump all three times or just the two when there was a woman up on the ticket?
