Yes, society will adapt. If it doesn’t, civil war will force it to. There is no way that 90% of the population of an industrialized nation with a second amendment will just watch their children starve to death because some rich guy sits on food he can’t sell because no one has any money.
The thing, western governments fear is AI-powered terminators. They want the tech first, so they can win the war when someone attacks them. That is the arms race part.
The unemployment explosion is obviously also happening. But that’s actually a pretty good thing in the long run as a society with 90% unemployment and the need to work to live is absolutely unsustainable. AI will basically force the end of capitalism by increasing the system’s volatility until it adapts.
AI will eventually enable a society without wage slavery. Everyone will have enough and some extra. No one will need to work.
And there literally is no other option to get a society without the need to work. AI really is the only way.
It’s the service light. You need to call an electrician.
Ideocracy: People don’t have the mental capacity to see what’s wrong. The ruling elite is just stupid.
Current timeline: People know exactly what’s wrong and are captured in a system spiraling to the bottom. The ruling elite does the wrong thing on purpose because of expected personal gains.
This is not Ideocracy. It’s oligarchy.
What if the voters are child molesters too. Maybe they all just like to fuck children. Then they obviously wouldn’t vote against that.
When you stop excluding a set of possibilities just because they would be horrible, US politics start making sense.
That will not work long-term. When prices are high for a long time, it becomes more and more attractive for governments to start their own foundries for economic and strategic reasons. And while that is not easy, China is on its way, ASML and Zeiss actually are European companies, and no one starts at zero because there are a ton of patents which already expired or expire soon.
A fully industrialized nation which really wants to make chips can make chips. Making the best chips is pretty darn hard, but making the chips from a few years ago is doable for China and the US right now, and the EU in ten years.
On a bloc level it makes sense to have your own foundries independent of foreign influence just for military and infrastructure reasons alone.
The US profits a lot from having so many waterways. When they are usable, they literally are the cheapest and most efficient mode of transportation.
I guess, California is killing Windows without knowing.
In my experience with Claude Code Opus, analyzing or generating files eats the most tokens while thinking is actually surprisingly cheap. I guess, the token-counting is somewhat wrong on purpose to incentivize use of high-effort thinking mode because when you incentivize using lesser models or modes, people get disappointed by the output quality and stop using the service…
So just let it analyze the code base for flaws and bugs in a loop using lots of sub agents for each type of bug or code smell.
The good thing about that method is that it is technically malicious compliance; but it also offers a high degree of plausible deniability and likely yields some actual bug fixes to offer as justification.
Doing it just once every once in a while without fanning out into tons of agents rereading the same files is the non-malicious-compliance way of using AI for bug hunting and usually worth it. Also let it write tests for the found bugs (and properly review those tests using the natural neural network in your head).
You can’t even properly review the result of burning 4.5k in tokens with just a single senior dev.
The real limit still is how much high-skilled natural neural compute you got to make sure that the AI output is actually any good.
Always keep in mind that your own state is almost always the group of actors having the most power over you. They are the ones who can hurt you or just make you jump though an infinite amount of hoops without any fear of consequence.
Normal people really can just ignore everyone who is or comes after “Hackers”. Focus on your own government. That’s where the real risks are.
Men and women means people whose self-perceived gender identity is man or woman.
Male and female means people who got the genetic setup of a male or female.
The latter excludes males who identify as women and includes females who identify as men (a risk I was willing to take).
The movies of the 70s are more a product of LSD than cocaine. And Zardoz is definitely one of the movies worth watching.
This basically is the stereotype I am coming from. So far, the answers don’t contradict it.
What browsers really should implement is to store all third party cookies in a jar for the specific site I am on until I navigate to another domain or close the tab. The cookies are saved and returned to the 3rd party sites embedded in the site I use. But if the same 3rd party sites are also embedded in other sites, they have to send fresh cookies.
Cookies become useless for tracking and all the legislation specifically around them can be axed.
The cultural impact is to prove that setting a new bar for mind-blowing gorgeous CGI was still possible a decade after Babylon 5. The Way of Water repeated that incredible feat.
I didn’t watch that Fire And Ash yet; so don’t know whether it further ruins every single other modern movie further or just keeps them disappointing by reinforcing standards which seemingly no one else is willing to consider.
James Cameron proved that there is a massive market for movies without witty punchlines and convoluted plots which require one to have the booklet (or nowadays phone) at hand to read along like when going to the opera.
He took the most overused classic western plot and made it work great on the big screen for a heterogenous global audience. He didn’t need any well-established franchise to back his adaptation of “White men invade land of natives; all hope is lost. But then one of the whites turns out to be the savior and helps the natives to repel the invasion.”
It was refreshing to watch a movie that let me pick a side without coming up with some forced gotcha-everything-is-morally-gray bullshit. That shit even infested the comic adaptations by now.
The plot couldn’t be more bland. The characters couldn’t be more forgettable. The movies still are masterpieces regardless. Yes, I cringed at some points. But overall, they were a great experience. And yes, I also like Western.
Btw, Papyrus is a fitting choice for the title font.
Did he use that filter purely for anonymity? He looks better without it.
The lower the mass sits, the better the truck handles.
If you have something heavy (like a battery pack) which you need to include in the design somewhere, putting it as low to the ground as safely possible is the right choice. So that’s not a stupid decision at all. It’s what literally all EV makers do because it’s objectively the right way to place the battery pack.
Watching that clip, I don’t see the typical signs of a battery fire. So I guess, wade mode did in fact keep the battery dry. Wading through a stream reaching to the top of the wheels would probably work fine. But if you stay in the water, it eventually gets through to some electronics and power is cut off by the overcurrent protection. So just don’t do that.
I thought, LLMs would never become able to write code. And now, I use Claude Code as the always available senior on coke.
LLMs have a reliability problem. If that gets solved somehow, they can actually drive a worker bot - or a terminator.
And the big money pits also don’t only do LLMs. Those just get all the press because they are usable by normal users right now. Of course, some of those money pits are just investor scams. It’s a fully corrupted society after all.
