I figured if the joke had to compile in two languages, and currently one was broken, fixing the second and thus breaking the first would be appropriate on a software forum.

If I had a rubber for slashdot I could fix this.

When you allow nepotism and favoritism or even try to pick genders and races and similar groups by forcing equal adoption on people it never works out. Equality of opportunity is what solves this. I’ve been in charge of hiring and seen supposed mechanical engineering majors with a PhD and 10 years experience fail to explain, in high school physics simplicity, how a hammer works. I’ve always hired on ability, not degrees because I was quite financially invested in the success of the company.

Yep, and it’s been a continuous intermittent source of humor for decades here.

20 watts is just the electrical energy and neglects the chemical energy but the point still stands. A human brain does with a handful of watts the same tasks using thousands of times less energy than the power most efficient processors we have invented so far.

And it’s going to be a complete piece of trash consuming vast amounts of energy for less and less of a return until improvements no longer are feasible on human lifetimes with the current pool of information. You see, the AI is derived from existing relations between words around things humans have created. To grow the AI you need ever larger datasets only we don’t have infinite accurate information it’s actually limited to not much over what they have already fed it. Lower and lower quality information is fed in as quality sources get expended, and progress stalls. We aren’t going to have an actual human like intelligence from simple word autocomplete in the next 50 years or ever actually. Maybe this type of system will be just one of 100k distinct and different algorithms all working together with even more vast amounts of power used.

Sure, if the books are often quite incoherent and make things up. But books that teach are devoid of such things if they are worth anything realistic about actually conveying proper information. But AI is more like buying a science textbook from a religious institution with an agenda.

Look, a Bachelors of Science is a perfectly acceptable degree, not everyone is suited to a Masters or PhD. Most of our scientific workforce have just fine BS degrees helping them through life. Oh, maybe you meant the other kind of BS degree getting people through life.

More like 40% can be fed microtargeted AI slop and it would rot their brains into voting for anyone. Democracy is dead because it relies on critical thinking and being informed both of which are quickly being criminalized.

Most Dems in federal positions have their campaigns paid for by the same billionaires funding the right, don’t believe me go on open secrets it’s literally publicly available information. Chuck Schumer just recently said how he loves billionaire money. So while the republicans will gladly flush this country immediately down the toilet, Dems can’t take their hand off the lever because they know the policies they push to keep billionaire money and their jobs means constituents suffer and they have to fight a losing popularity contest. The only Dems actually representing people have sworn off the billionaire and corporate money and there’s only a handful.

They are inbred and believe robots and AI will while they only need to keep enough humans alive to be entertaining and so they can still inflict suffering on at will to try and fill the insecurities deep within.

Good luck to them building and maintaining anything when knowledge is criminalized, and they only operate on nepotism and favors. Those robots and nukes will all be in disrepair or paper only fakes to support their super yachts and lifestyles, the only thing they have is throwing the youth into a meat grinder which only accelerates the decline. America is rapidly becoming Russia.

The you are what you eat loophole to serfdom.

Now imagine your latency is a second and that mainframe from 73’ is communicating with a 68000 processor running on hardware that’s never been field tested before. At least in lunar lander your controls and sensors don’t just go nuts for no reason.

And thus corporations try their best through OS capture to force users onto a subscription plan to use their own hardware (which they think shouldn’t be legal) which quickly becomes incompatible with the OS version required to run all the major corporate software and thus you need to repurchase a thousand dollar machine that’s only slightly incrementally improved.

Which consequently raised a beige alert among the community.
