Looks like a bad case of overpowered firecrackers.

Also what is the situation with pain, like it’s harmful for people to take too many pain meds and it’s harmful to not give someone enough. Seems like a tricky problem with few ways to get it right and too many ways to get it wrong.

What’s their date format? Or they don’t use the same calendar?

Yeah fear, anger, greed, and resentment are much lower emotional local entropy states for us. Getting over that hill into a true global minimum is a doozy. It’s so scary we often prefer the familiar needless and avoidable suffering.

Yeah I guess one could do Tor over a VPN and that would do the trick.

As a programmer I can assure you there were plenty of bugs before AI and not all bugs now are AI caused. That said yeah we’re in the awkward teen years of AI. From 2015 to 2020 was like the baby years and people going “omg that’s amazing” and right now we’re in the “I hate everything and everyone” phase and it will emerge into either “omg the world is ending” or “this is utopia” or “alright thing is damn useful for good and bad endeavours”.

If you’re outside the US it’s next month.

I can’t wait until the point where it’s a full week of continuous peace and wellbeing we are sending one another. It will take a lot of healing and forgiveness to get there but I believe humanity is strong and brave enough to manage one day.

It’s kinda stolen from characters like Thich Nhat Hanh, Ram Dass, and Pema Chodron who themselves found it from yet someone else and so on. I’m giving your video a watch and here’s one in return

I don’t think the bunkers are to avoid bad financial decisions, more so to stave off something like rogue ASI or a biosphere collapse which in any circumstance won’t work in the long-run.

I’m still pretty new to Lemmy and the fediverse although I really enjoy it. I’ve noticed some strong dislike of anything and everything AI to the point I think it’s clouding some peoples ability to really see the situation at hand. That said I get a lot of people skepticism, a lot of AI projects are nonsense and things have been over promised. On top of that there’s the more than problematic issue of data centers and the environment. I think people don’t fully grasp how insane some of the achievements of neural nets are, how fast it’s developing, that having models that pretty much pass the Turing test was pure sci-fi just a few years ago, much less are solving legitimate mathematical conjectures as well as other hard problems in science.

Many applications are suboptimal to say the least but what’s been done with alpha fold and recently in mathematics is very far from a scam. Not to bring up what’s also been accomplished in cyber security. These models are proving open problems that have been around for decades and finding serious vulnerabilities. The issue is consistency and efficiency. Of course the other issue in making them stronger is continual learning and long horizon planning. I think too much investment came in too quickly and what is provided to the masses currently isn’t consistent or efficient enough. That said as a math and comp sci grad and someone who works in the field it’s been absolutely mind blowing to watch what’s already been done. In 2010 the concept of an artificial mind solving something like the Erdős unit distance conjecture would have been seen as pure sci-fi, maybe something we would achieve closer to 2100 than 2026.

For reference, it took Uber about 17 years to become profitable and Spotify 18. They were hemorrhaging cash for over a decade and a half before finally hitting their stride. As for the current AI development it’s honestly from 2017 when the white paper on transformers came out where shit started getting serious, so it’s been about 9 years since investors were serious. Before that point it was all passion projects, absolute moon shots as they call them.

Add some USB dead drops here and there like little geocaches. Maybe add some offline Wikipedia backups and other Zim files with a kiwix server. You could manage text, a file server, some web pages, possibly voip and maybe video calls. Sounds like a good time. What’s it called, meshtastic? I have some vague experience / knowledge but never set it up.

Depending on terrain and population density you might be able to cover a large area. I’ve seen small scale implementations for highly urban areas using Bluetooth.

For those that don’t know Yoti is an age verification service based in London that Sony had started using

The problem is they regenerate like bamboo. You chop one down and another sprouts up.

You spelled dnf incorrectly

More than half of the 15 Latin Americans deported in April to Congo under the Trump administration’s widely criticized crackdown on migrants have returned to their countries of origin. (From the article, first sentence)

The Trump administration announced that over 605,000 undocumented immigrants were deported or removed from the United States during the first several months of his term. Link

During Trump’s first term, ICE carried out a total of 935,000 to 1.5 million removals. more than 90% of those impacted by recent interior arrests and detentions are from Latin America, led by Mexico (approx. 54%), Guatemala (15%), and Honduras (11%).

The title is ever so slightly misleading omitting the 15 which wouldn’t have taken much space in the title. As it’s written it sounds like much more than eight or nine people. This is 0.0016% of the deported people this term.

I mean we’ve all seen what good it did for Ukrain when Russia super pinky promised never to invade if they gave up their nukes. I don’t think anyone is going to make that mistake again.

Not long now until biometric login becomes necessary to access the human only part of the internet.

This feels like a reference.

Maybe they’re doing the same?
