...because it can't "tell" anything. It is a highly, highly advanced tool for statistical correlation algorithm. The only reason it appears to be anything more is because it appears to speak in a way that a human does by using our own language. Our brains are hard-wired for communication, so you could say that they're hard-wired to anthropomorphize anything that appears to communicate the same way we do... it facilitates social behavior. LLM's don't know anything, they're probably the most advanced thing humanity has every created, but they're still just number crunching devices.

I have a PC I built around 2019 or so... it still does everything I need it to do. After upgrading to an NVIDIA 4070, it runs even the newest games at ultra settings. However, because of a a nuance of hardware requirements, I've never been eligible to upgrade to Windows 11. MS dug their own hole on this one.

Our current "AI" doesn't understand anything, it simple learns tasks (to varying degrees of success, it seems) and performs those tasks with data that it's been fed. There is no motivation, creativity, or ingenuity involved in the process. That's not a bad thing, don't misunderstand... some of the AI implementations are amazing at handling and finding patterns in data, but, AFAIK, that's it. We'd need a fundamentally new model of AI to do this... something that can actually comprehend the data it's dealing with rather than "mimic" human tasks.

Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?

Oil companies (at least in the US) don't receive ANY money from the federal government. Look it up. This "fossil fuel subsidies" bullshit never goes away even though its a complete lie.

If you own a business (again, in the US, not speaking otherwise), you get to deduct certain costs, typically expansion related activities, R&D etc. In the oil and gas industry this is basically drilling and exploration. So the only "subsidies" that the oil industry gets is the same deductions that any other business in and other industry receive. The only way you could change this is to remove the tax deductions across the board for every business in the US, which would probably cause the economy to go into free-fall. According to US law (IIRC BC IANAL), it would otherwise be illegal for Congress to pass a law punishing any one given industry over another.

As much as I *loathe* the combination of these two words in print in general, this is the epitome of "Fake News."

March alone added 196k jobs.

I'm right there with you, it even struck me that people are in any way surprised that attention-seeking youtube celebrities have mental health issues... I mean, that's kind of a prerequisite, isn't it?

Yep, it's not a coincidence that Kim Jong Un agreed to meet with the S. Korean President and the U.S. President about a month after he made a personal trip to China, which was interestingly not too very long after Trump had put the pressure on China to do something about NK.

They'll never give Trump any credit for anything, so this whole conversation is pointless. There's a group of people in this country who hate Trump more than they love their own country, and that's sad.

And disclaimer: Trump is a douche, I know it, I couldn't even bring myself to vote for him over HRC, so I abstained out of disgust, but I try to be intellectually honest enough to give credit where credit is due.

Exactly! People don't understand the idea of negotiating through strength...

As far as DACA goes, it's never reported ANYWHERE that Trump has repeatedly said he wants Congress to pass a law to address the DACA recipients because Obama's creation of DACA via Executive Order was unconstitutional. He didn't rescind DACA out of malice or hate, he did it because it was essentially an illegal action by his predecessor.

On a side note, it's the Democrats that have blocked any legislative solution on DACA recipients because they want to use it as a tool in the upcoming elections.

So this is basically just theft. The police are just like the Crips and Bloods, except they're taxpayer funded.

Great job electing a bunch of right-wing assholes yet again, England.

The data's only "untrustworthy" if you're a fucking dipshit anti-science luddite like mister Maynard here.

This is the kind of guy who puts "some college" on job applications because he once worked at one.

"I would guess" you're making shit up. You're willing to throw out anonymity and privacy because some people might be circumventing copyright somehow? You're pathetic. (Or you're a government astroturfer. But I repeat myself.)

What ever happened to "correlation does not mean causality?" I mean, I get more and more tired as the day goes on, and... I think it's because the sun is in the sky.
