Sure, why not? I can use a new brother.

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

I generally overshoot when it comes to the hardware specs, if I can. That way you’re prepared in advance if you end up having the option to upgrade your Internet connection.

Otherwise, you may find yourself locked in to the slower plan due to the cost of upgrading your hardware.

But, sometimes you have to choose realistic over optimal, of course. So in other words, I do not think I know what’s best for you! Just offering a perspective that has worked for me, in case it helps you in some way as you evaluate the choice that’s best for you.

I used to hear my dad repeat Faux talking points about how “gerrymandering isn’t even real” or some BS. It’s been so tempting to throw it back in his face - but I know that won’t be worth my time, so why bother.

Just curious, but in exactly what way is not already on complete control?

I don’t know, I mean if any corporation can eat the loss, it’s apple with their insanely high margins.

I’m more inclined to believe there’s some form of quid pro quo going on behind the scenes.

Besides, I simply cannot picture Tim Apple as any kind of a hero in this picture. No way he got bullied. He’s getting something out of it. You scratch my back. I’ll scratch yours.

You know what keeps me up at night? Democrats get elected into power and just leave shit all broken. I mean, sorry to say but that is the pattern we’ve seen from them for decades now.

Now, please don’t get me wrong, I am NOT saying “both sides same, blah blah”. I just don’t really believe there’s anyone in the Capitol who is actually fighting for me anymore, save perhaps a tiny few who have no realistic chance to help. Not Bernie’s fault they fucked him over, for example, and I have mad respect for him. But one man, maybe one or two allies, standing in front of this wave of irrational hatred? We’re fucked.

Why did you make me feel so old…

I never really used the sure much myself, but if I recall correctly their while schtick was that you could just write out a question in plain English to search the web, as opposed to AltaVista and early days of Google where you would want to do a keyword search instead to get good results.

But, then again, I never really used it so I could be misremembering things…

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gotcha. Sounds relatively easy to verify, but eh, personally I’m inclined to believe you. And fits his entitled attitude for sure!

I vaguely recall the fraud, but I forget the specifics. Please drop a link for more info if you have one! (Otherwise, yes, I am capable of searching the web myself.)

This is also the secret to how guys like Bezos start a company from a garage; they mooched off their parents, so didn’t have to worry about how long it took to make any money.

All 6s users hey a warning you might be affected. They give you a link you have to follow to check. Load the page, you’re in your IMEI and it will confirm if you’re affected

At this point, it’ll be yet another crappy reboot of a remake of some story we’ve all seen dozens of times.

Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. If there was evidence of wrongdoing, which again there is not, I could understand your position. Until then, there is not, in fact, any reason to believe she did not properly train, instruct, and manage her staff.

Lol.

Proud of ourselves, are we?

Weirdo

Sorry, no LLM is ever going to spontaneously gain the abilities self-replicate. This is completely beyond the scope of generative AI.

This whole hype around AI and LLMs is ridiculous, not to mention completely unjustified. The appearance of a vast leap forward in this field is an illusion. They’re just linking more and more processor cores together, until a glorified chatbot can be made to appear intelligent. But this is struggling actual research and innovation in the field, instead turning the market into a costly, and destructive, arms race.

The current algorithms will never “be good enough to copy themselves”. No matter what a conman like Altman says.

Eh, no. The ability to generate text that mimics human working does not mean they are intelligent. And AI is a misnomer. It has been from the beginning. Now, from a technical perspective, sure, call em AI if you want. But using that as an excuse to skip right past the word “artificial” is disingenuous in the extreme.

On the other hand, the way the term AI is generally used technically would be called GAI, or General Artificial Intelligence, which does not exist (and may or may not ever exist).

Bottom line, a finely tuned statistical engine is not intelligent. And that’s all LLM or any other generative “AI” is at the end of the day. The lack of actual intelligence is evidenced by the way they create statements that are factually incorrect at such a high rate. So, if you use the most common definition for AI, no, LLMs absolutely are not AI.

Do you have to pay rent to think about something?

That sounds expensive. Unless, of course, you’re more comfortable not holding into any thought. 🤣
