Comment My GTX 1080 (Score 1) 27

Can run Second Life at probably 500 FPS so I don't think I need AI to run an inferior version any faster.

Maybe with the raw power of AI and a billion gigawatts of electricity they can add feet to the metaverse.

Also can we please just take the billionaire's money away? I am tired of watching them spend it on stupid shit. Especially when they have the power of the force me to use that stupid shit

Why not make a simple API to that digital ID that would be a simple yes/no to any app or web page's query (permission permitting) to whether or not the user is over X age?

Your suggestion is defeated by parents' habit of handing a phone to a child as a digital babysitter. It's how we lost comment sections on animated videos on YouTube in December 2019.

MMRA vaccines didn't just come out of nowhere and there was extensive testing on the technology beforehand.

It's like saying that we didn't do extensive testing on every single version of the flu vaccine every year for long-term side effects. We don't need to. We fully understand the base technology.

And no the effects for young people weren't necessarily minimal. We now have pretty solid evidence that there are noticeable long-term effects that aren't immediately obvious. So whereas the vaccines might cause a little short-term inflammation in the heart that goes away covid causes noticeable long-term damage.

There will not be any vaccine side effects in a whole lot more years because that research was already done. The fact that you don't know that is because a powerful group of right-wing extremists and a ton of scam artists trying to sell you supplements are making a fool out of you.

And the next time we have a pandemic, and it's coming, you are going to get your shit fucked up real bad because of your vaccine hesitancy. And maybe if you get real lucky and you pull through you're still going to kill a whole bunch of people.

And all those people who are using you and tricking you are going to be laughing all the way to the bank. The billionaires have given you an issue to distract you from the economy and the scam artists have you seriously considering buying horse dewormer. When you get desperate enough I bet they'll get you on colloidal silver.

Remember human beings under pressure do not make good decisions. That's why we have things like trainings for Bomb disposal. You are no different and when you are under extreme pressure you are going to be prone to bad decisions. You're making one now

The only thing worse than updates "against your will" is...no updates.

I didn't say you shouldn't install updates. I said they shouldn't be pushed on you. I know this stuff is really hard for you to understand, but that's because you continually demonstrate that everything is. If you persist in making up shit to believe that people didn't say, you're going to be confused forever.

now, let me share a wild idea, this is just a random thought, a crazy what-if: what if trump was perfectly aware that this would backfire on the military complex, and is totally fine with it, because that's precisely one festering ground of his political enemies?

One thing that pretty much all politicians have in common in the USA is support of the MIC. Democrats will happily pass additional funding for the military, they have done it again and again. He would be attacking his allies as much as his enemies.

Oh look, you are talking stupid shit.

We all know how LLMs are being used: To create low-quality AI bullshit. Sometimes a human improves the quality of the bullshit later, and makes it useful and maintainable. Sometimes no human does that, and then it remains bullshit.

People coming to a different conclusion than you don't automatically not know what they are talking about. They might just be smarter than you. Based on your comment, I'd say the chances are very high.

When I bought my Commodore 64, you had to be a programmer to even use it,

Total bullshit from you yet again. Do you ever stop with this shit? Did you even own a C64? I don't believe that you did, and here's why. When I was a wee lad and before I ever owned a computer they had Commodore 64s and other computers at Sears. There was software for those computers. The instructions to load the software were typically on the disk label, but you'd rapidly learn that there were not many magical incantations required to load software, and if you tried one or two of them you could get programs without instructions to load, too. I was not even into the multiple digit ages yet, and I could "use it".

No, it isn't even slightly like that. That's flooding the zone with meaningless signal. This is inserting a small amount of meaningful signal. The only way in which it's not actually the complete opposite of what you said is that a signal is being added. Are you a LLM? Because what you said doesn't make any sense.

No, it would be better to do both things, because we need to do both things.

Unfortunately we don't seem to have the will to do the thing you suggest, which I agree we need to do, so at least this is something. Not enough, but something. Also, putting minerals into soil can improve crop yields, so there are other good reasons to do it.
