That’s a weak argument without substance. “No, you!” is not exactly a good counter.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about, which refutes your argument in 1).
That’s a whole different discussion. That intelligence is required to build something has nothing to do with whether the product is intelligent. The fact that you manage to mangle that up so bad is almost worrying.
I’m sorry, but that’s the worst possible conclusion you can get from that paragraph.
Again, think your argument to the end. What would not fall under AI in your world? If A* counts, then literally everything with a simple ‘if’ statement would also count. That’s delusional.
Do actually read the article and the articles linked. Are you really, really implying that a simple math equation, that can be solved by a handful transistors and capacitors if need be, is doing something “typically associated with human intelligence”? Really?
Are you by any chance familiar with degrees of murder, involuntary manslaughter and insanity?
If I think I’m defending myself, despite no reason to do so, I can’t claim self defense. You can’t argue, that your neighbor certainly didn’t threaten you in any way, but he sometimes looked really weird, so it’s self defense to kill him.
I’m not even sure, what exactly you’re trying to argue here?
It seems like you’re under the impression that thinking you’re doing something good is virtuous, but I fundamentally disagree
It seems like you made impressions on yourself, because that’s completely besides anything I wrote.
Doing something bad and knowing that it’s bad, is bad. That should be very very obvious.
You’re building yourself an entire terracotta army worth of strawmen here.
And you’d argue wrong here, that is simply not the definition of intelligence.
Extend your logic a bit. Playing an instrument requires intelligence. Is a drum computer intelligent? A mechanical music box?
Yes, the definition of intelligence is vague, but that doesn’t mean you can extend it indefinitely.
To a certain extent, yes.
ChatGPT was never explicitly trained to produce code or translate text, but it can do it. Not super good, but it manages some reasonable output most of the time.
You’re whitewashing, because you’re implying that she had good intentions. She did not. She was not misled by propaganda, she knew what she was doing and what the implications would be.
It was a Thatcher-era thing, and despite being evil and wrong about nearly everything, she at least thought what she was doing would help normal people.
That’s a pretty clear sign being apologetic right here.
No, it does not.
A deterministic, narrow algorithm that solves exactly one problem is not an AI. Otherwise Pythagoras would count as AI, or any other mathematical formula for that matter.
Intelligence, even in terms of AI, means being able to solve new problems. An autopilot can’t do anything else than piloting a specific aircraft - and that’s a good thing.
Oh no, she did not think it would help normal people.
Just think about what kind of system you’re describing: local people owning shares of their utilities. That’s ownership by the populace. So, you know, public ownership. Like the system already in place.
The story you’re describing is just an attempt to sell redistribution to people who are not willing to think. Even in the best case, this would be a giant rent-seeking scheme for banks and pension funds. And we’re definitely not living through the best case here.
Stop trying to whitewash politicians. Especially not the ones who showed time and time again that they don’t give a shit about the literal survival of anyone poorer than them.
If that’s what you actually intended to type, you might have a stroke.
A finely refined model based on an actual understanding of physics and not a glorified Markov chain.
What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.
What is the battery situation like?
The older, cheaper devices are obviously, well, older and thus the battery degraded a bit. Linux isn’t exactly optimized for these things either. I would expect less than great battery life.
Man, that table is wild. South Africa has a lower life expectancy than Afghanistan and in Russia women live 12 years longer than men? Bonkers.
You might as well argue that healthy people are a drag since care in old age is so expensive.
See, I’m German. We have a solidarity based health insurance (mostly). I’m a young, reasonably healthy guy with a reasonably high income. All in all I pay 840€ every month (that’s the maximum amount), even though I cost next to nothing. And I’m okay with that.
Yes, smoking is bad and I don’t like smokers. But denying them healthcare is deeply deeply inhumane. And in Germany even unconstitutional.
I’m really confused about his statement.
I mean, let’s assume he’s right, and let’s assume that a vaccine only protects you for, say, 20 years. Just measles induced encephalitis alone has a lethality of 0.1%. How many cases of anything more than a mild fever did any vaccine ever cause? He’s not even claiming it’s causing autism or death or transformation into Space Godzilla. So why not just vaccinate? It’s stupid even in his own world.
That’s unfortunately an extremely slippery slope.
If vaccines (or lack thereof) are enough to refuse “service”, why treat lung cancer in smokers? What about type 2 diabetes?
I see. We’re at full blown ad hominem and removed even the pretense of argumentative value.
That’s of course a sure sign of maturity.
Maybe all the juniors around you suck, because the good ones don’t need to waste their time with arrogant, abrasive coworkers.
It’s already fourth tier after L1, L2, L3 caches.
Maybe something like optane will make a comeback. Having 16gb of soldered RAM and 500gb of relatively slow, but inexpensive optane RAM would be great.
I tried cursor, claude, copilot. They’re not good.
Like, they can sometimes generate 10 lines of perfectly reasonable code, but they constantly completely misunderstand my intention or simply produce garbage. But the garbage looks just good enough, that you actually have to read and understand it, which slows me down.
Maybe we’re operating in completely different worlds, but even for the junior devs in my company, typing speed was never an issue. I’m sure, within a few years LLMs can generate much better code, but I don’t see widespread unemployment. They need way too much babysitting and result in worse code.
No, I’m saying you’re wrong in your understanding of Wikipedia.
Also, I did not miss anything out, your self defined definition is simply so broad that it’s meaningless. Again, what is not AI following your definition? An if statement does not mimic intelligence, especially not human intelligence.
