Yeah or use one of those drill-taps they use to tap maple syrup.

I think you need to read some more history about fascism my friend. That “pure” capitalist you talk about has never existed.

On the other hand, capitalists were essential to Hitler’s rise to power, and the likes of IG Farben and Bayer profited greatly during the reign of the Nazi’s.

Now we see the same thing with the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk installing Trump, and abusing their influence to completely deregulate the markets they are in (e.g. banning any regulation on AI by states).

Fair point, he is a toxic piece of shit

Pretty sure he’s biodegradable

Yeah but the choice is between socialism and fascism, and capitalists stand to lose a lot under socialism.

You’re right, it’s also about the capitalists who put them in power.

What devilry is this? Written word? Real cultures use oral history to store knowledge!

Nor do they remember the previous AI boom of the 90’s and 2000’s, where the likes of Lernout & Hauspie were also promising the world. In that case they went bankrupt and executives were convicted of fraud, because they resorted to “creative” accounting to paper over solvency issues.

Capitalism baby

Exactly, they are a breakthrough built on top of decades of steadily paced progress. Those decades are conveniently ignored by the commercial interests, who like to act as if those once in a decade breakthroughs are actually the normal pace of research at their company, and the next one is right around the corner.

“Faith-based health care provider” is one of the saddest euphemisms I’ve heard in a while.

I agree with the overall sentiment, but I’d like to add two points:

1. Everyone starts off as a code editor, and through a combination of (self-)education and experience can become a software engineer.

2. To the point of code editors having to worry about LLM’s taking their job, I agree, but I don’t think it will be as over the top as people literally being replaced by “AI agents”. Rather I think it will be a combination of code editors becoming more productive through use of LLMs, decreasing the demand for code editors, and lay people (i.e. almost no code skills) being able to do more through LLMs applied in the right places, like some website builders are doing now.

Why not dual-boot with steamos in that case? Sure, some things may not work out-of-the-box now, but work is constantly being done and at least won’t regress like the step from W10 to W11.

I think that’s just the comfortable position for humans. Questioning what you know to be true is hard, and the more fundamental the fact the more uncomfortable it is to doubt. Which is also why religion is so attractive.

That’s a great saying about wisdom, I’m going to use that some time.

I agree that it’s editorialized compared to the very neutral way the survey puts it. That said, I think you also have to take into account how AI has been marketed by the industry.

They have been claiming AGI is right around the corner pretty much since chatGPT first came to market. It’s often implied (e.g. you’ll be able to replace workers with this) or they are more vague on timeline (e.g. OpenAI saying they believe their research will eventually lead to AGI).

With that context I think it’s fair to editorialize to this being a dead-end, because even with billions of dollars being poured into this, they won’t be able to deliver AGI on the timeline they are promising.

It is for me in Europe

Sanewashing, everything, all the time.

Even if Tesla itself doesn’t do that, it’s something to be concerned about in case a vulnerability is found that allows remote access to the camera’s (or worse any local video recordings that may exist).

I’m not that familiar with WSL, can it interface with libraries like DirectX or Vulkan?
