such as the key jailbreaking method right now being an appeal to empathy

Honestly the most optimistic thing that’s come out of this. A potential AGI singularity is still terrifying to me…but this does take the edge off a bit.

18/20 because after that you ought to be able to be a candy-giver. This whole thing only works if we have enough candy-givers, and too late of a cutoff age skews the balance.

Read some existentialism, no joke. I don’t agree 100% but I read a bunch of Beuvoir over the weekend and one thing I did like was it made me internalize the idea that coming up with a project I care about and achieving it is worthwhile in and of itself regardless of if it “could” be done by someone/something else.

Think about it this way, there are mathematicians from 500 years ago who did a lot of stuff by hand for hours that I could work out with a calculator in seconds today. But does that mean all their work was worthless? If I create a fairly shitty drawing, but I’m proud of my having created it, am I wrong to be proud simply because my friend who is a great artist could make a better one in half the time?

It’s not just about the journey, but it’s not just about the destination either–its about the journey to the destination, and placing value only in one of those things will cause you to be at a loss for the rest of your life.

Maybe people won’t pay money for it. Maybe they will. The problem isn’t that people may or may not pay money–it’s that you’ve placed your sense of worth in monetary value.

As a full stack cloud dev usually for me it ends up being some lag between when Azure claims a thing was updated and when it actually was.

(shout out to azure B2C custom policies for taking like 10 minutes to actually reflect changes despite giving me a lil green checkmark)

“big data” runs the content recommendation algorithms of all the sites people use which in tirn have a massive influence on the world. It’s crazy to think “big data” was just a buzzword when it’s a tangible thing that affects you day-to-day.

LLM powered tools are a heavy part of my daily workflow at this point, and have objectively increased my productive output.

This is like the exactly opposite of Bitcoin / NFTs. Crypto was something that made a lot of money but was useless. AI is something that is insanely useful but seems not to be making a lot of money. I do not understand what parallels people are finding between them.

AI ≠ Micros*ft

That’s a weird argument. Most technological advancements are directly beneficial to the work of only a minority of people.

Nobody declares that it’s worthless to research and develop better CAD tools because engineers and product designers are a “vocal minority.” Software development and marketing are two fields where LMMs have already seen massive worth, and even if they’re a vocal minority, they’re not a negligible one.

For easy indexing. Lots of influential literary works have this. There’s a universal standard indexing for both the works of Plato and Shakespeare, for example.

To be fair, Spotify’s recommendation system is the only algorithmic content feed that I feel actually gets me the kind of stuff I want rather than just exploiting my psyche, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Spotify’s AI integration is likewise the only of it’s kind that has real benefit.

It could also be completely useless, who knows 🤷

Domain name were a speculative asset. This supports what the person you’re replying to is arguing.

Just decent quality content for various topics which aren’t politics or tech. For the good of increasing the size of Lemmy, I think everyone ought to find a couple things they’re interested in as hobbies and just dare to make content about them.

Lots of niche communities have the problem where no one posts because no one posts. At some point, you have to just pull the ripcord and start the darn thing, even if it takes a while.

“Intellectual property” is a silly concept that only exists because under capitalism massive powerful corporations benefit if they can leverage the legal system to permeantly keep knowledge, innovation, and art behind a paywall, and people in society are dependent on monetary gain to survive.

We should, to the fullest extent of the law, make it such that proper credit is given to people who make things, but calling something “theft” when the person you’re “stealing” from literally does not lose anything is asinine.

NASA aims to destroy an Empire State Building-sized asteroid (interestingengineering.com)

Astronomers have been closely monitoring Bennu, which swings close to Earth every six years. However, the real cause for concern arises from the possibility that on September 24, 2182, Bennu could collide with our planet with a force equivalent to 22 atomic bombs. While the odds of such a catastrophic strike are estimated at 1...

It’s still good that they monitor and investigate stuff like this ahead of time. NASA, historically, has allowed for a ton of really cool practical advanced in technology to occur because of research they do on stuff like this, and I think it’s entirely worth it to work on this kind of stuff even if we never have to actually shoot it down.

Generally UI related stuff is opinionated framework-heavy, so the best place to start is see what technologies similar-ish apps use and then read their documentation.

Technological advancement is cool. Widening the power divide between megacorporations and the general population and allowing rich assholes to have greater power and control over the average person is not cool, and unfortunately, that’s what technological advancement is doing.

Lanthanae,
@Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Don’t get me wrong, I think that since AI is here we absolutely ought to keep it as free for the average person to engage with as possible because the corpos are gonna do it regardless of legality.

I think you’re misunderstanding what I meant but that may be my fault.

Would “Two people of equal drunkness can do whatever under the same terms and conditions as two non-drunk people” be better?

Lanthanae,
@Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

So since I don’t drink I can’t hookup with drunk girls?

No. Also I hope the women you know are aware that you are not a safe person to be around.

@Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Why do you think that? I do not see any connection between my comment and you conclusion here.

Lanthanae,
@Lanthanae@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

No. It quite literally means that you also cannot be discriminated against for that. In fact, the protections that make it illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals are the exact same protections that prevent discrimination because of your being straight, and if you were to repeal the former, the latter would be lost as well.

You have it, quite literally, entirely backwards.

Can you recommend books with meme culture humor?

No, I am serious about this. I wish to get back into the learning of reading, but as a beginner I am repelled by the intense use of vocabulary, literary devices of classical literature books or intense and difficult-to-follow storyline of modern day fiction. I want to read a book that is clearly made with people like me in mind....

Don’t sweat it. Some people just like to hate on things. You’re allowed to ask question on an Internet forum dedicated to asking questions.

Wolves and dogs recruit human partners in the cooperative string-pulling task (www.nature.com)

Abstract In comparison to non-human animals, humans are highly flexible in cooperative tasks, which may be a result of their ability to understand a partner’s role in such interactions. Here, we tested if wolves and dogs could flexibly adjust their behaviour according to whether they needed a partner to solve a cooperative...

How so?

Humans are animals. “Non-human animals” is the most direct and accurate way to specify the set of all animals that aren’t humans.

What about it do you consider strange?

Which is wild to me because it seems really obvious to me that it’s intentionally cringy dialogue.

Anakin Skywalker is a cringy edgy teenager for a lot of that. That’s like, a major part of his character.
