America was isolationist until they were dragged kicking and screaming into the war. Churchill was regularly crossing the Atlantic to beg Roosevelt to try to garner enough support to join the war. The American people did not care. The majority were against joining the war.

All the same today, The majority of Americans either support MAGA or are indifferent. Short of some great personal injury such as a Pearl Harbor type event, Americans will continue to be as they are.

The idea that Americans were anti-fascist heroes is propaganda. They were only angry that they got got by Japan.

The difference was hundreds of MB, but when you’re working with 8GB every bit counts. At that time KDE had an edge over Gnome. At some point the difference wasn’t there anymore.

I was rationing what software I had open so as to avoid hitting swap because that’s when there’s a noticeable lag. Gnome was worse at recovering from that.

8GB was barely enough 10 years ago. That’s when I switched to Arch+KDE. Then KDE started using more. memory.

Kind of tangential to the topic but reddit has been appropriating user names for celebrities and companies. The first known instance (as far as I know) was u/borat. I was surprised thiskind of thing wasn’t a bigger deal.

I wouldn’t be surprised if u/paulmccartney is such a case. A basic name that’s only a 5 year old account. No way nobody grabbed that before.

It makes more sense when viewed as a fancy autocomplete, not an intelligence. There’s no intelligence behind it that is reading your statement and understanding your meaning. It’s responding with text that mathematically likely matches some sort of reply that would fit your statement.

Your statement included Y and the algorithm landed on result that includes Y. There’s no intelligence that could understand that you meant no Y.

That bullshit about the model getting fine tuned just means they are data mining you. It doesn’t make the more LLM intelligent. All it does is add your data to their dataset of which the LLM can draw from for possible future replies. The fundamental limitations of the technology still exists.

That’ll happen when your IT systems are no longer guarded by the woke femboys and furries.

Posts in the sub are a non-starter. The maxwellhill thing was debunked when it was pointed out that the account was active when Ghislaine was attending well publicized events. You guys are falling for right wing bullshit.

The internet is never not a shitshow when it comes to women.

Except when it comes to a country like India or Japan. Then it’s all like nodding and agreement that those men are creeps who need to be restrained.

The existence of this infamous app should be easy to prove. I have never seen anything but armchair reddit-tier experts making bold claims about.

Ah it’s the 2000s again. They’ll top it off with a global financial crisis. Probably the AI bubble collapsing or succeeding and destroying all the jobs.

Maybe the Americans will elect an Obama 2.0 after. Maybe not. There wasn’t MAGA last time. More likley it’ll be president mecha-Hitler or something this time around.

Hypernormalized to the point where concentration camps are just another news article on any given day.

You start from “China bad” and the work backwards to fit your narrative. It’s almost pointless having discussion online on anything about China.

Centauri Carbon has a flaw with the USB cable that connects to the print head breaking due to constant mechanical wear.

I don’t have one these but this is the issue I found when searching about it. I don’t know how serious it is but if you search it’s a main topic of this model.

For some reason the benchmark is always the highest cost of living cities in America.

Maybe the ones obsessed with making it to the top in those cities are the most vocal online. I don’t know but it’s weird how that is.

They’re not reading but looking for keywords. People with low literacy do that.

Those are a fraction of a percent of reviewers. The issue predates YouTube. The days when it was only written articles was no different. They are at the mercy of not being shit listed by companies.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a choice between what problems I want to deal with that are specific to the particular brand.

Some may or may not even be real issues I’ll ever encounter. It’s impossible to tell because nobody talks straight.

This is generally the implication with reviewers. You better not be too honest or you’re not getting any more review samples. Never trust reviewers. Not even the dude that’s supposedly reputable. They all know the game. Use the review to see the hardware and the basic functionality. Ignore everything else.

3D printing is particular bad though. I’ve been perusing this hobby for the past few years without buying a printer. There’s so much shit surrounding this particular topic. The communities are all militant about brands too.

The end social media maybe. It’s fundamentally broken anyways. They can keep breaking it worse for all I care.

We’re not meant to be ruled by algorithms. It was a stupid idea to listen to antisocial neckbeards selling the world on how they could master sociology with graph theory. These are the same geniuses who deride soft sciences as not real science.

Pretty much what people already know by now. Algorithms find optimal ways to manipulate you.

The two ingredients are data and a way to measure the thing you’re trying to optimize. Machine learning is used to find optimal ways to keep people engaged in internet platforms. In other words they’re like designer drugs.

Worse than designer drugs. They’re continuously self optimizing because they keep measuring the results and making adjustments so the result stays optimal. As long as they have a continuous feed of recent data, the algorithm evolves to find the optimal solution.

That’s why recklessly giving away your personal data is dangerous. Let’s say the system notices you’ve been spending 1 microsecond less time engaged in screen time. The system will adjust to make sure they’ve reclaimed that 1 microsecond of your day.

It will show you things that tend to keep you engaged. How does it know that? Because you give it the data it needs to measure what keeps you online more. That data is based on every interaction with your phone or computer which is logged.

It’s worse than substance abuse because you never develop a tolerance. If you do then the algorithm has already adapted to find the next thing that keeps you engaged in the most optimal way.

It’s not just engagement. It’s whatever target you want to optimize for. As long as you have the two ingredients. Data and metrics.

That’s why data is called the new oil. Or was it gold rush? I can’t remember. It’s been called this since the early 2000s maybe.

LLM AI isn’t so scary when you know that they’ve been using AI against us for a very long time already. If more of the world understood all this better, we’d all have quit to study poetry already.
