  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

    Jump

  • Optimistic scenario: 5 years from now (if there isn't another major breakthrough in AI technology and we can extrapolate from current trends instead), we'll all have a much clearer understanding of the things AI is useful for and what it's not very good at; or, what people want it for, and what people don't want it for. The tech industry will concentrate on marketing the profitable uses. In other words, the magic✨ will wear off, but not homogenously across different use cases.

  • What do you think will the tech bros jump on next?

    Jump

  • I think they'll be on this for a while, since unlike NFTs this is actually useful tech. (Though not in every field yet, certainly.)

    There are going to be some sub-fads related to GPUs and AI that the tech industry will jump on next. All this is speculation:

    • Floating point operations will be replaced by highly-quantized integer math, which is much faster and more efficient, and almost as accurate. There will be some buzzword like "quantization" that will be thrown out to the general public. Recall "blast processing" for the Sega. It will be the downfall of NVIDIA, and for a few months the reduced power consumption will cause AI companies to clamor over being green.
    • (The marketing of) personal AI assistants (to help with everyday tasks, rather than just queries and media generation) will become huge; this scenario predicts 2026 or so.
    • You can bet that tech will find ways to deprive us of ownership over our devices and software; hard drives will get smaller to force users to use the cloud more. (This will have another buzzword.)

  • My hatred of Disney knows no bounds lol.

    Seriously though, I would like to see IP law replaced with something that benefits the little guy more than the big guy. I assume that, similar to "defund the police" really means "replace the police with a different system," "delete all IP law" really means "replace IP law with a different system."

  • Optimist: if anyone can generate a movie with a snap of the fingers, the best-written ones will emerge on top and we'll have a glut of amazingly-written movies.

    More likely: it's all going to be slop.

  • ngl this is such a toxic community. The Nazi thing is definitely part of the problem -- we live in an age of "soft fascism" so of course we have our fists up and we see nazis everywhere. Honestly I think most of the nazis are on twitter or truth social though, they don't come to lemmy so much. Hmm, don't assume that someone espousing an (1) conservative-looking belief is a nazi maybe?

  • His training to be a gynecologist is irrelevant. Please do not propagate the myth that men go into gynecology to take advantage of women. If he's a rapist, that's independent.

  • "Trade war with penguins": Trump places 10% tariff on uninhabited Antarctic islands

    Jump

  • I don't see why. The problems with global tariffs notwithstanding, can you explain the downside to setting a tariff on these islands?

    My guess is just that they're trying to idiot-proff the tariffs (i.e. prevent someone from putting up a shack on this island and using that to somehow evade tariffs.)

  • Right-Wing Plot To Prevent Women From Voting Advances

  • Great, so there's no need to make up garbage takes on Thiel, since there's plenty of legitimate, evidence-supported takes on him they could have gone with.

    Any article which makes stuff up to support the cause is bad for the cause.

  • Right-Wing Plot To Prevent Women From Voting Advances

    Jump

  • See, that's a much more interesting take, with actual evidence. The article should have been about that. As is, the article is purely baseless fearmongering, and we don't need that. If you're going to write about how Trump is a threat to women, use the waterfall of evidence available for that.

  • I have no particular reason to believe he is being sincere. But, "Right-Wing Plot to Prevent Women From Voting Advances"? Hmm??

  • Right-Wing Plot To Prevent Women From Voting Advances

    Jump

  • Haha, fair enough. I just think it's bad journalism to play so loose.

  • Right-Wing Plot To Prevent Women From Voting Advances

    Jump

  • Indeed, I have no love for Thiel. I just object to mischaracterization of my enemies; it makes it easier to criticize us.

    I have read and reread those quotes three times. Where is he questioning the notion of women's suffrage?
