Comment Re: Nobody understands how AIs work :o (Score 1) 52

Who cares how many die, that's your problem. I also think it's naive to say that AI researchers "don't know" how modern AI, i.e. transformer models, work. They know, it's just impossible to predict results given the immense size of the models. What they don't know, because they don't care, is why models generate such catastrophic results at times. Once upon a time, AI research would consider this their highest priority, not anymore.

So who exactly has AI killed so far?

What catastrophic events has it caused?

Genuinely curious....

Who was telling them that if they treated ectopic pregnancies they might face legal repercussions? Is that what the law actually said?

The way the law is written, if a doctor performs any abortion they can be charged. That is what the hospitals legal department said. In 2024, a woman was told it would be a crime to perform her abortion, so she was left to die.

In 2023 another woman died because the procedure that could have saved her life after a miscarriage was not administered because it could also be used for an abortion.

Just this year, a woman who had previously had two stillbirths due to preeclampsia asked if she should continue with her pregnancy as she was experiencing the same preeclampsia as before. Nope, she was good to go. Until she was found dead in her bedroom from preeclampsia.

But sure, keep making excuses for why women have to die because Republicans don't care about them.

I always like it when Republicans claim to be "pro-life" yet go out of their way to kill women and children. In Texas, since their abortion ban, the rate of maternal deaths has increased and several women have died because hospitals refused to perform a medical abortion because the doctor and hospital might get sued.

Who was telling them that if they treated ectopic pregnancies they might face legal repercussions? Is that what the law actually said?

I believe you'll find it was the people who opposed the law who waged a campaign of disinformation to try to convince people that women would not be able to get life saving care. Turns out there are actual dangers to lying to slander your opponents when it's about what kind of medical treatment is available.

So lesson learned, going to be very careful not to mischaracterize in the future right?

Which just goes to show they don't care about people and this lawsuit should be thrown out. They can't claim AI might endanger peple because of a "hack" while at the same time letting people die from a preventable disease.

Look at Pennsylvania. Over 900 measles cases so far this year, with 4 dead in the past month. One was 18-years old, the other 40-years old. The other two were children below the age of 5. And this doesn't take into consideration any other damage people suffer from measles such as deafness.

The article OP cites is about a policy study for a policy that no one has so far enacted or voted for. How does that become proof that "they don't care about people and this lawsuit should be thrown out." How did you extrapolate the "they"? How did you manage to impart motive into every member of that collective based on an unfulfilled hypothetical? How did that lead to being able to seek an injunction on AI? Have you established it is the same "they" in question? And when the "they" has a position you don't like it become a prohibition on any action they could possibly take? How does that work in general?

Pennsylvania has a democratic governor, democratic house, democratic senator, voted for Obama, Obama again, and Biden. Their measles outbreak is laid up as a Republican failing? Why isn't Florida much worse then? Canada has been having thousands of cases to they point they lost their measles elimination status. Who is in control of Canada?

Sure, but that example has nothing to do with with the technology examples I and the OP gave. If you were trying to make a deeper point than providing a counter example that doesn't seem to fit, then please elaborate.

I learned to touch type on an Apple ][e because elementary school had them. But my parents didn't make the kind of money it took to buy an Apple or Mac back then, so I ended up on the PC track. By high school and college all my schools had PCs because clones were cheap and software was plentiful, and there was an assumption that PCs would continue to be dominate in business in the near term.

Ah, so when Jesus said "Love God" what he ACTUALLY meant was: act as if you love God, regardless of how you feel inside. Even if you outright hate the bastard, so long as you put on a good show of loving behavior you will be able to hang out in heaven and watch as he tortures your friends in fire forever.

That checks out, since this technique of explaining that the speaker ACTUALLY meant something totally different than what they plainly said is a foundation of Biblical interpretation.

When Paul told Timothy that "God saves all men, especially those who believe" what he ACTUALLY meant was "God wants to save all men, but only saves those who believe"

When James said "You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone." what he ACTUALLY meant was the exact opposite: "Faith alone justifies, but we can expect that any faithful person would show good works."

And when Jesus said "The coming of the kingdom of God can't be seen. People won't say "look, it's over there" or "look, it's over here", because the kingdom of God is within you." what he ACTUALLY meant was "I am standing right here!"

Once you make a habit of totally changing what people say so that it fits your narrative about what they should have said, everything clicks right into place.

I doubt that. And themes only change colors and backgrounds.

But you can make actual changes with Userchrome. It takes a bit of effort, though. I have my tabs square and always outlined and against the content, in a traditional way, using it.
