Because that’s the whole point of the fediverse, to be interoperable with other instances using an open protocol.

I guess he was getting too close to finally agreeing that Ukraine needs some more support.

There are some places you really should just not be building houses.

No, the goal posts of “AI is evil and should be fought until <insert new criteria here> are resolved.”

The question of whether training an AI even violates copyright in the first place is still unanswered, BTW, the various court cases addressing it are still in progress. This current target is about “ethics”, which are vague enough that anyone can claim that they’re being violated without having to go to the hassle of proving it.

I wonder where the goalposts will shift to next.

Do we count those as negative numbers when the implants help them recover?

76 years ago was 13 years before Yuri Gagarin would become the first human in space. It was 4 years after the V2 rocket became the first artificial object to enter space. This is plenty of time for multiple technological revolutions to happen. We’re already on the verge of one with fully reusable superheavy lift rockets, most people don’t grasp just how big a change will come from having that sort of cheap bulk cargo access to space.

it’d probably be a few hundred years until we could actually make nation-sized space colonies

There’s no need to make nation-sized space colonies, just make lots of smaller ones.

There were a few interesting astrophysics papers estimating that near-lightspeed and FTL travel tech is like 8000 years away lol.

I would like to see those papers. Making technological estimates on that scale, especially for something like FTL that has no physics backing it at all, is highly dubious.

“Future technology” can’t solve all of our problems. It’s not magic.

There’s no need for magic, this is really just a question of economics.

This article is projecting 76 years forward, that’s not the near future any more.

Massive downside to that: photos will exist of Trump shirtless.

More likely you’re getting downvotes for the fallacious “I’m obviously being the logical one, everyone disagreeing with me must be illogical” form your comment takes.

And deservedly so.

Most fun I can recall recently was pointing out how Meta is actually one of the main driving forces behind the availability and development of open-source large language models. Meta’s pytorch framework is one of the foundation pieces of many LLMs industry-wide. Meta has released a bunch of major open-source libraries and frameworks. Their open LLaMA model weights are the starting point for many fine-tuned models floating around out there.

But no, Mark Zuckerberg is an evil lizard man, so can’t mention anything nice he might be responsible for.

Doesn’t help that AI is a hot-button topic in its own right.

It weakens your claim that it’s not hyperbole, since the meaning of words like that are consensus-based.

Do you seriously think it would make sense for a 68-year-old man to claim that he’s “nearly a century old”? That wouldn’t be misleading?

Saying something that is insufficiently negative about Elon Musk. Or Mark Zuckerberg, he’s another one on the “villain” list.

I’m not the only person calling you out on it.

They are where people tend to live.

This winter my home city had a power supply crisis. It was night time (I live in a high latitude so nights last a long time during winter) which meant no solar, and it was -30C, which meant the wind turbines all shut down (they can’t operate when it’s below -30C). The whole province was short of power, only the coal and natural gas plants were keeping the lights on. We dodged rolling blackouts but it was a close thing. Lots of people live here.

Bring down the nuclear level

Which is perfectly fine. Nuclear power plants can change how much power they’re putting out. It’s not “economic waste”, the term is “load-following power plant” and it’s routine for nuclear power plants.

So you agree that hyperbole is uncalled for?

Joke’s on you, I skimmed by it without engaging for more than three sec… shit.

It’s exactly that “new loud wave of complainers” I’m talking about.

I’ve been in computing and specifically game programming for a long time now, almost two decades, and I can’t recall ever having someone barge in on a discussion of game AI with “that’s not actually AI because it’s not as smart as a human!” If someone privately thought that they at least had the sense not to disrupt a conversation with an irrelevant semantic nitpick that wasn’t going to contribute anything.

Building new nuclear plants isn’t particularly easy when there are environmentalists clamoring to shut them all down and a general public that’s scared of atoms.

Also, don’t accuse articles of being “propaganda” and then call 68 years “nearing a century” to fearmonger for your own view instead.

None of this is AI-specific. Youtube wants you to label your videos if you use “altered or synthetic content” that could mislead people about real people or events. 99% of what Corridor Crew puts out would probably need to be labeled, for example, and they mostly use traditional digital effects.
