AI was filmed on a soundstage in California. Sam Altman was played by Jesse Eisenberg. ChatGPT is just a recording of Mark Zuckerberg talking to himself in the mirror
“one fraudulent company from India”. Which part of this being Amazon’s walk out technology makes it not big tech, or a “weak ai story”?
AI is turning out to be a lot less promising than we thought, unless new breakthroughs are made the models are plateauing or even getting worse, at least relative to the amount of energy they consume… And companies like openai are in rush to sell you the idea for trillions of dollars before everyone realises the limits. Same as amazon trying to sell us Ai powered shopping.
This might be the most awfully absurd thing that could ever happen.
“We got perfectly capable humans doing that job pretending to be AIs so that we can sell more incapable AIs services, AND prevent the AI bubble from bursting. Gotta make some big $$$ out of this shit, 2008 style baby”
I don’t like the video to be honest. The first few minutes actually make smoking seem great even to me and I’m strongly against smoking. So much so, I dislike you as a person if you ever smoke in my vacinity.
Just imagine some kid seeing only those first few minutes. Some bad actor could even just take those few minutes and upload them separately to other platforms.
You wouldn’t be able to start a video like that 10+ years ago, now though everyone knows smoking is bad for you. Even smokers know it, it’s probably one of the most prevalent addictions. People wouldn’t still be doing it after all this time and backlash if it didn’t at least feel good.
That’s the point they are making, smoking fucks up your natural balance by making you feel good, making you crave more and deteriorating your body in the process.
Everyone may know about the dangers already, but I feel like the video has another dangerous point besides the initial first minutes. It tells you that you can stop after a few years and more or less fully recover (at least in terms of life expectancy). That may be factually correct (and a great point for people who already smoke), but in combination with the beginning can lead to people thinking they can smoke for let’s say 10 years, it’s awesome after all, and then just stop - underestimating how difficult that is, even though the video does say that too.
I’ve heard people say ‘but my aunt smoked for 40 years and didn’t have any health complications’ in a fully unironic way. People will justify their smoking, but will also tell you they wish they’d never started because it is so difficult to quit so I agree with you point.
Now I’ve never used heroin, but that is the feeling people describe: euphoria, calmness and relief beyond anything you’ve experienced, to the point that you can’t really think about anything else anymore. - I’ve read this many times and it makes me deeply uneasy. That sentence should make anyone revolt, but many people will be drawn in by this description just the same.
In much lesser ways ofcourse that is how people talk about smoking, but I think the point of the video is no substance should be altering your state of mind, but it’s never to late to quit.
They made it edgy, risky play but I think it will be effective.
Years ago, I took my first dive into zydeco because of a description in a book. The cd I bought to give it a whirl had this song on it.
Can’t say I’m as deep into it as with some genres, where I can make good recommendations and talk about it on a meta level, but I love the way zydeco feels.
The truth is that in N’awlins you can close your eyes, toss your empty over your shoulder[^1] and hit any one of hundreds of these exceptional bands. This town is like no other.
Public Service Announcement: you may have problems today with the YouTube alternative frontends Invidious/Piped due to intentional blocking from the mothership (Google).
If you are experiencing difficulties, you have the following options linked on the error page:
refresh the page
use another instance
Otherwise, you can visit YouTube directly merely by changing the server address (in bold) from …
As already mentioned in an earlier post, a third option is installing the browser add-on LibRedirect, available for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. LibRedirect will redirect Youtube/Invidious/Piped servers but also Reddit, TikTok and a plethora of fun, time-wasting yet privacy-invading websites.
I’ve played a bit of the daggerfall unity remake. It’s alright, but incredibly repetitive and shallow (from what i’ve seen, at least. only got to the werewolf dungeon in the daggerfall queen’s questline). Sure there are some things that could be iterated upon, but I don’t think it’s something I’d ever consider making my primary inspiration for anything. I’m curious to see what this game will keep from it.
Ignoring whether it’s realistic or not, would a good solution be a law saying that landlords may only earn profits from rents that are people’s second (ie. not primary) homes?
Edit: Ok, I just realized that what I wrote is nonsense
