  • It's a self-fulfilling prophecy: if all the corporate leaders believe it will change everything and, in a fit of FOMO, force it into every corner of our lives, then everything will be changed. But not so much because of what AI can do, as because of a mass delusion among the LinkedIn types.

  • Karp is a nut; Thiel is a nut. Is Palantir elvish for "bag o' nuts" or something?

  • They are men.

  • The most corrupt people leading the most ignorant. This is right-wing politics.

  • In ISBNdb’s now-removed marketing materials, it admitted that getting caught destroying printed books during the scanning process would not be a good look. “The optics problem is real,” ISBNdb’s site said. “‘AI company destroys two million books’ is not a headline that generates sympathy.”

    So their solution was to do the evil thing secretly?

  • No Nambia either. And where's the Democratic Republic of the Covfefe?

  • Sends like we have that anyway. Let's replace them with AI then switch the AI off.

  • There's no legitimate purpose for destroying these books.

    There are non-invasive ways scan books. But the destruction is an added bonus. These companies make a copy of these public domain books and then pulp the remains. They're rare, so that means they're hard to find (that's what rare means, after all).

    Then, they can turn around and sell their dataset to AI companies.

    The destruction is the point.

    Capitalism always creates perverse incentives. The most profitable thing you can do is seize something readily available and make it impossible to get without paying you.

    But which companies are doing this? It sounds like these are companies that supply training data to AI companies. I think we need names.

  • LLMs are bullshit machines. I dont see how there's any question.

  • Please note: All Upgrades have been put on hold due to the double cost of Memory Modules. The option to upgrade the supported GPUs has been disabled on the booking page.

  • ICE will be doing its best to provoke an "active public safety threat" wherever it can during the elections. They'll turn up and start grabbing people out of voting lines, or just threatening people, and as soon as anyone protests it will be an active public safety threat. Then they'll either shut the polling venue down or cause so much trouble outside that no one dare approach. Once the election is done and there just happened to be active public safety threats in Democratic-leaning areas only, the Democrats will decide they have to play by the rules and accept the result in order to protect democracy.

  • The USA is close, with a two-week concept of a plan.

  • Maybe he was born in 1969 and started coding at 6 months old.

  • It's clearly the gays. No question about it.

  • Pay him and he'll tell you.

  • Do they? I know they process the images, blending in takes from the different cameras, doing white balance and enhancing colours, etc., but the "AI Enhance" is a button you have to press. Unless they have changed that.

  • It sounds like you have quite a lot of expertise most people don't have, which is probably why you find growing food relatively easy and many don't. It's not just needing the weekly time to plant and maintain the land, or needing to have good land in the first place, that stops people, it's also not having time to build up that expertise.

  • The giggles will get you through though.
