On WABC (AM 770 in my area) they literally tried to put a negative spin on this! Apparently, since he’s already a millionaire, he doesn’t need it! Evil guy! They even played the clip of him talking about going door to door and no one told him they’re concerned the mayor doesn’t make enough. Beyond fucking delusional. I turn that shit on when I’m looking for maximum and immediate cognitive dissonance.

I understand and appreciate where you desire to go with it, I just don’t see a current system to support it. Afaik people do make their own AIs/LLMs (recalling an artist’s court case regarding the legitimacy of their work), but large scale LLMs do their thing by running roughshod and stealing tons of data and driving up hardware and electricity prices. It is difficult to see an environment where small models prosper compared their lawless corpo counterparts. It would probably be more beneficial to humankind, though.

Well all I will say is that I do understand the usefulness of LLMs as tools, though I only really use them passively through search results, and always verify the results separately. And I have a fundamental understanding of how they work. While I understand what Linus is getting at in a practical sense, I worry he is putting his head in the sand regarding the heavy handed agendas at work in the implementation of AI as we know it now. And I think that is a definite bad thing to be ignorant of. I personally won’t embrace “AI” until it is liberated from the agenda of power and inequality. Though, I cannot but accept its level of influence in daily life, and will attempt to understand and recognize if it fundamentally evolves or changes.

Edit: “they’re just new and selfish people will try to find an angle with them, same as it’s always been.” Just wanted to add that yeah, its pretty highly focused in that way. And until society can fundamentally change, that is and always will be a huge problem applying such technologies. I mean shit, look at the fuckin internet.

This man should have been taken away in a straight jacket.

Edit: also, the whole Jon Ossoff questioning is here, at 1:46:05. Good to hear in it’s entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9BYMPKDB3g

Well most of them won’t read beyond the headline; they’ll likely just make massive assumptions based on title and their own predispositions. Sounds to me like Linus is trying to leave room for some of the practical nature of LLMs and implement them as useful tools, but it seems like he may be a little ignorant of the various agendas of LLM developers themselves. Just my stupid take.

THIS IS A PETES COFFEE HOUSE!!

Literally the stupidest fuckin thing anyone could say about this.

His residence was a giant pile of garbage. I mean, he’s not like, 3M or Mr. Burns, but we I don’t think we want people trash dumping in national parks. They’re in enough danger as it is. If you move your campsite every 14 days and don’t litter, you could live there indefinitely, it would seem.

Man I really wish this wasn’t a fake news story…

Is this related in any way to the supposed plan to merge the American and Israeli militaries?

So when folks such as yourselves get downvoted spectacularly as such, does that just reinforce your underdeveloped, edgy opinions? If so, what a vicious cycle to have to deal with.

Oops… I left the gas on. *Involuntary giggling

I may be wrong. Read/heard it quite some time ago and whatever it was left me with a strong impression, but I am also finding info to the contrary. It’s gonna bug the hell outta me now.

I like mc Chris until I found out he was a drump supporter. Ngl some of his tunes are fire.

Edit: I remember hearing/reading this quite some time ago and being very disappointed, but now cannot find anything to support it. My bad folks.

Its also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling…

Article says this is due to a radio communications malfunction that likely won’t be resolved for at least 6-12 hours, and there’s also mention of general disruption of the communications (IT disruption) throughout the country. I don’t want to jump too hard at a conclusion but if I did it would be a Russian hack or sabotage. I’d sorta hope to be wrong, but I just doubt technical incompetence from the Germans here.

Added: Reading another article now and yea there’s some context I didn’t have. Yikes.

A lemmy user who likes to post comics and remove all references to the author/creator, I believe?

A quick wikipedia read seems to indicate that is not quite true. It would be more accurate to say he tries to both-sides it and holds contradictory viewpoints. Not what I would call a hardcore zionist, but certainly divorced from reality. Though I suppose if you tend towards absolutism you’d call it that.

I don’t know how the US economy works, much less a self sustaining one…
