He showed an example of that happening today. He seemed to be of the impression that something like that can eventually be ironed out, which it can't. At least that was my interpretation.

Is it based on Chromium?

It would be a sign of the End Times. Problem is that if it is then they've been Left Behind.

The theoretical Three Mile Island datacentre is probably the end-point of all of this. I think that what they build there (should it actually happen) has to be AGI. Like, unambiguously AGI. Where even the most hardline AI skeptics will react with "Holy shit they actually did it."

Anything less and it'll be nearly impossible to justify building 5 nuclear reactors to just power one of these datacentres.

So even if it is happening, it's still not happening.

I believe the future is going to be so bright that no one can do it justice by trying to write about it now.

Uh

Have a AI regulation committee and also give the committee their own hardware so that they can use that hardware to regulate the other hardware. Maybe.

I'm not seeing a Strawberry announcement either.

Well, it's now yesterday's tomorrow and while there's an update I'm not seeing a Q* announcement.

Well, we could argue that computers don't really "compute," either. What a computer does is measure the flow of electrons through a transistor, albeit billions of them. If the flow of electrons passes an arbitrary threshold on a certain transistor, then we call it a "1". If it doesn't, we call it a "0". The "computation" is just us interpreting the flow of elections into something more useful. ^It^ ^was^ ^explained^ ^to^ ^me^ ^that^ ^the^ ^"threshold"^ ^was^ ^over^ ^and^ ^under^ ^5^ ^volts,^ ^but^ ^I^ ^think^ ^if^ ^you^ ^put^ ^5^ ^volts^ ^into^ ^a^ ^modern^ ^transistor^ ^it^ ^would^ ^just^ ^fry^ ^it.^

Obviously, because our brains are made of cells instead of silicon transistors, we wouldn't "compute" the same way a transistor does. If we decide that computation is only something that transistors can do, then obviously the brain couldn't compute, but, for now, that line would be arbitrary.

I don't know where you live, but I live in a primarily conservative area.

Getting them to adopt more liberal ideals isn't the hard part. The hard part is getting them to stop voting for fascists.

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but why make it like communism?

[-] ShakingMyHead@awful.systems 3 points 4 months ago

That's the problem.

Maybe I'm just reading the room wrong, but the consensus of the comment section seems to be "haha he thinks AI can replace psychics" but all psychics do is take what people said, reframe it and maybe add some nonsense after that can sound vaguely correct. For the most part, that is LLMs. LLMs could replace the psychic industry because unlike other professions there's zero obligation to be correct about anything.

Is it unethical? Absolutely. But psychics are already frauds so it's not like a legitimate profession is being replaced.

Of course, I could just be misreading the room.
