I can go months without AI just fine. Yes it does hallucinate, yes it can create slop, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely useless.

I genuinely didn’t get where you were trying to go with that question.

Honestly, I have very mixed feelings about LLMs. I don’t think you’re necessarily wrong, but I don’t think refusing to use AI is going to help me or anyone else.

What do you mean by that?

Just chatting with an LLM uses so few tokens I don’t really see that changing

The AI bubble might pop, but just as the dotcom bubble didn’t mean the end of the internet it won’t mean the end of AI. LLMs (or whatever might supersede them) are here to stay.

And the chili’s

I prefer the term africanmericanlist

But they also tend to push forward with a decisions long after it’s clear there needs to be a change, only to drastically turn the wheel from one day to the other. For example the one child policy and zero covid.

But why? We’ll make better blades without the extra weight of the solar panels and cheaper panels by just putting them on the ground.

Any extra weight is too much. Plus a 6 oz calculator doesn’t usually fly at 300km/h in open weather, you will need some strong (heavy) glass or plastic too protect the panels. Much simpler too just put them on the ground next to the wind turbine.

A big context costs a lot more

It would make sense if there’s no space left on earth to build new datacenters, but the simple solution to that is just to stop building so many datacenters.

If that was the only issue one could just not breath out in the tube. But there’s another problem: Breathing becomes impossible because you can’t breathe due to the pressure of the water on your chest.

Men too

If you get a castle for free you’re not likely to be charged property tax, considering the value initially is €0

Yeah no I don’t think that’s how it works

The blue and the yellow are the same color (cover up the rest of the picture, there is no gradient in the bar). Same thing for the white and the blue, isn’t that strange?

No?

And the same is true for the minority rights, they only exists as far as the Party wants to and allows at this moment, which was my point. I.e it’s mostly for PR.

The West isn’t any better at protecting minority rights, I’ll give you that.

The Chinese constitution also explicitly gives everyone the right to vote, freedom of speech, the press, assembly, association, procession and demonstration.

第三十四条　中华人民共和国年满十八周岁的公民，不分民族、种族、性别、职业、家庭出身、宗教信仰、教育程度、财产状况、居住期限，都有选举权和被选举权；但是依照法律被剥夺政治权利的人除外。

第三十五条　中华人民共和国公民有言论、出版、集会、结社、游行、示威的自由。

That says enough about how much that document is worth.

Unless I’m misunderstanding the post, it doesn’t imply that most lectures need to be in Mandarin, only that the kids need to be taught the language, right?

You are misunderstand it (and the BBC article is also very unclear about it). Learning Mandarin was already mandatory, it’s now about making Mandarin the default.
