But QI, that’s the good stuff. I’d walk over mountains and rivers for more QI.

I use a chromecast and, good golly, the number of times I get 90+ second ads is insane. I downloaded nebula the other day and, once I finally get my fill of avgn in the next week or so, I’m leaving and never looking back.


This is disconcerting. China’s not going to slow down on their build out of infrastructure.
And for those who spin this as a positive. AI is not all LLMs. Real diseases are being cured by the complex modeling, real world tangible products, like airplanes and ships, are being designed safer.
I speculate that there’s a good chance that the modeling will eventually help to resolve the climate issue too, rather than continue to contribute to it. Physics models become more robust for simulating nuclear fusion; logistics models for transportation and energy distribution too.
Living in a tourist town, I don’t want a large data center in my backyard either, but there are plenty of places that do and where it makes sense to do so both from a logistical and resource perspective.
We get behind the curve here and it’s going to be near impossible to catch up, and when the smart people can’t play ball with the newest toys, that leads to brain drain.


“Outlook is looking bleak, I’m seeing double.”


Pay the piper now or pay him later when the earth rises 2C over global average due to no one changing their habits.
Idle hands are the devil’s playground.


I’ve heard they’ve been rebranded as “Chicken Leadles”
“The sky is falling, just like our prices!”

Most of this article seems to be a hype scare. Mostly affects people with a severe immunodeficiency. HIV/AIDS or on immunosuppressants. Says it’s treatable nowadays.


Says guy originally made famous by real estate deals.


Getting high on their own supply again I see.


Scientists said our generation were getting food allergies because we weren’t getting exposed enough to things.
So we start stuffing our kids chock full of Pb&Js again and now they’re dumber. Great. Explain that one scientists!


AI is in the hype section of the emerging technology curve. A lot of good will come out of AI once we calm down and stop losing our damn minds.
It won’t be just cheap GPUs either. It will be things like more accurate cancer diagnoses, as Cory says near the top.
What we need is for regulation to catch up and start incentivizing the right things…that is, the things that will benefit society as a whole, not just the oligarchs.


Shew, what a headline. Keep in mind that AI is not just all LLM. I’m not sure how much more juice we can squeeze out of LLMs, but we’re just scratching the surface with other prediction models.
The ability to have smart cars that improve fuel efficiency by adjusting to traffic conditions may very well compensate for the increased electricity demand created by data centers.
New chemistry models may finally help us produce batteries that can meet the demands of a renewable energy grid.
We’re standing at a precipice. What we’re doing as a society is not working today - it’s not sustainable. And I’m not shy to say that I’m one of the few here on ActivityPub that think we may be able to leverage AI to dig us out of this hole we’ve started to dig ourselves in. But, in order to do that, we need clear heads, with clear goals and the incentives to encourage others to execute on them.
What we’re doing right now, just complaining about what’s not working isn’t going to save us.


Be the conspiracy theory you wish to see in the world.


Putin told him to start IVing children’s blood.
It is not going well.


Trump is our time’s Andrew Jackson but somehow worse.


Yes, it was called the whiskey rebellion and George MFing Washington curbstomped their asses.
Let’s not try to break up the Union anytime sooner than the inevitable, okay?


Orange man learns new word this week, uses it everywhere.
So…you are concerned that you used a calculator instead of doing math in your head?
Did you know how to do that math before hand?
I think the biggest risk to using AI is that people don’t first learn how to do something before using tools to do the thing. In other words, our 7th grade teachers were right. You should understand the principles before accessing the short cuts.
