  • This isn’t really true. Most successful revolutions in the last hundred years have been largely non-violent. I mean look at the dissolution of the USSR, for instance. Or Hungary recently, although how much of a revolution that is is sort of up in the air. Or Spain. I think the numbers are something like once 3% of the population is in the streets you’re donezo.

    I mean, also, like, India was directly and very much this.

    That isn’t to cast aspersions on violent revolution, but it’s more of a narrative than reality, at least now.



  • More or less the point is: Have you considered that this is a psy op to keep you from using a revolutionary technology, keeping it in the hands of the elite?

    What, you think every single company on Earth is dumb? You think that every programmer adopting it is dumb? You guys have no clue. You live in a little bubble where you studiously refuse to use this thing that you judge from three years ago. It would be sad, but it’s honestly just disturbing. We have a moment to use the most frontier models available. And we are going to lose that moment. And y’all, instead of using this technology to fight power, just bitch about it, as though that will do anything. As if your NIMBY nonsense will stop datacenters. As though you aren’t on Lemmy, USING DATACENTERS.









  • What does novel mean to you? I’m honestly asking. And what is your benchmark, I am honestly asking. And again, I have not asserted AGI is here, but if the level is “working with a genius” I do think we’re there, although I do think the genius is senile, like I said to begin with. So yeah, that sort of sounds like someone who could solve an equation no one ever has before, but would have trouble explaining it. Also the article referenced saying they couldn’t explain equations was written before that equation was solved. My guy!



  • OK bro. I guess you can solve 130 year old equations? Or maybe this is a weird way of measuring intelligence anyways and I was just demonstrating that they’re capable of executing novel concepts, which they clearly are if they’re solving things no one has solved before. Like do you not get how that is the important part? Not that humans can’t solve it, it’s that we HAVEN’T. The AI, on it’s own, managed to solve a novel problem. We did not teach it to solve that problem. We taught it HOW to solve that problem, and then it did. And I was just using math because people say that it’s bad at math when it no longer is. It’s good at reasoning, it can come up with novel concepts. IDK. This feels like, “AI is whatever isn’t.”

    I’m honestly asking you what your benchmark would be, because I’m sitting here saying maybe and IDK and I wonder and you’re here stating things very rigidly, but somehow I’m the one being accused of having ideological blinders? Mate I asked you what they were bad at now and you just ranted instead. But I’m the unreasonable one unwilling to listen. Okay. Have a nice night, homie.



  • Yeah but I don’t think this includes the water from feed, I think this is just the direct water. But I’m not sure. I think it’s like 100x or more water that animal agriculture uses. Similar levels for emissions. I honestly think this is a psyop to get the average person to not use AI as a force multiplier. 95% of AI is corporate, anyway. Abstention does very little besides deprive oneself of a tool that They are using to great effect, against us.




  • I mean they definitely are introspective. The rest, who knows. But one of the initial leaps in intelligence was having them actually talk to themselves. I mean, I think the fact that you can’t give me an answer is sort of telling. If y’all actually want to support an artificial intelligence when it comes to pass maybe don’t adamantly assert it’s not here when even most experts aren’t willing to do that any longer. How will you know when it is here? Will you know to give it rights at that exact moment?
