На работе задали заняться SIP-телефонией.

Ох, как мне не хочется в это говнище лезть...

@mittorn Мне странно, что для самого популярного во Вселенной софта для телефонии который по идее должен где-то поблизости от Постфикса и Апача лежать, нет готовых пакетов.

Both AI doomers and AI fanboys/fangirls need to take a chill pill and a fucking expectation management class.

There's a lot to be genuinely upset about in the field of ML/AI/call it what you want. There's also a lot to be excited about.

Things could be a whole lot worse, things could be a whole lot better. In the end, both hype and hysteria will die off, and it will dawn on us that not much has actually changed.

@trigrax I'm simply too old and have been into technology for too long to buy into both the PR hype and alarmist hysteria around every shiny new thing.

Everything is either world-saviour or a horseman of the apocalypse, or both. The Internet, videogames, smartphones, blockchain, AI... The world is still here, so no apocalypse, and it doesn't look all that saved either. So... Fuck off, y'all monkeys are too easily impressed. Get back to me when it's time to discuss something actually relevant.

@trigrax The truly eventual scale of every change is heat death of the Universe.

@trigrax Capitalism.

Most of the problems people have with AI come not from AI itself, but from the system that employs it.

People talk about the AI misalignment problem without realizing that precisely this kind of misalignment didn't come from nowhere, it's there because we've already built the system with misaligned incentives, and it's been hard at work for over two centuries, maximizing profit at the expense of everything else - politics, ecology, education, you name it. We're already living inside the giant paperclip fucking maximizer. And it was not built yesterday.

This is the real problem, not the machine learning technology in and of itself.

@trigrax Whales and elephants exist. They got lots of brain stuff. Much more than humans do.

They're not "superintelligent", whatever that means.

drq,
@drq@mastodon.ml avatar

@trigrax We don't have what it takes to create "superintelligence". We don't know what "intelligence" is in the first place. We probably will create some kind of intelligence, if we try real hard, but it I don't believe it will be any more "super" than any of us, save for maybe experience.

In other words, "superintelligence" is science fiction stuff, IMO.

As I said, too easily impressed.

Yeah, I mean it's nice/horrible depending on application and context, but it's not anywhere near either a rapture nor apocalypse.

The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.

I'm so fucking tired switching the language under my post every time I want to write in English.

Can't we, like, automate it?

It's funny how there is now a plethora of tools and engines that make game development easier and more efficient, and the corporations are still like "ThE GaMeS aRe ToO ExPeNsIvE tO mAkE".

Emotions are a great motivator, but almost always a bad advisor.

Know that your first impulse, your first reaction to anything is supreficial, and therefore almost always wrong. Learn to think before you act.

Вчера с парнем придумали антиисекай, в котором мужчину-дроу сбивает телега и он перерождается обычным японским клерком.

Вчера я тоже об этом писала, но посмотрела на то что натворила антиземена и решила написать ещё раз.

@Hihito ну дак это тоже суть исекай наоборот. Персонажи из другого мира попадают к нам и учатся жить среди людей.

Спасибо всем, кто посмотрел со мной "Однажды в Голливуде". Любите свою карьеру, но помните, что она временна, а дружба - навсегда. Ну, и на всякий случай не помешает хранить огнемет.

Кстати, на канала 16на9 Кунгурова есть отличный обзор на этот фильм.

Давайте думать-решать, что же нам дальше смотреть. @fmn, прошу вас!

Сегодня вечером, в 21:00 по Москве, мы отправимся назад во времени и немножечко в пространстве. Нас ждут счастливые, солнечные, кодахромовые шестидесятые годы в Америке - с неоновыми вывесками, босоногими хипарями и хипарками, масл-карами, серф-роком из магнитол, и расцветом кинематографа. Это любимое время режиссера Квентина Тарантино. Он расскажет нам сказку об этом времени. Времени, которое умерло с приходом банды Мэнсона и убийством Шэрон Тейт.

Фильм "Однажды в Голливуде". Приглашаю вас на Fediverse Movie Night!

Сходил на конференцию Phd в Лужниках. Встретил чуваков из журнала Хакер. Здрасьте, я ваш вентилятор, читаю с первого выпуска, тыры-пыры. Везу домой добычу.

I'll grant it to you, Microsoft, Recall looks like a useful feature, especially for people like me who can and will forget what the fuck were they doing last week.

Fuck, I mean, I had to make a whole podcast dedicated specifically to that and host it for 2,5 years.

Where's the guarantee though that the copilot's data stays on my computer? Where's the guarantee that it's only me who has the access to the data recorded?

Where's the source code, you pricks? Or is the feature just an excuse for you spying on us?
