I think given how a substantial number of users in Lemmy are old, I think there is simply a natural aversion to the new and grasping for straws. I never hear of younger folks with IT background dismiss AI completely, as much as Lemmy does. I’m not a fan of AI, especially how company shove AI to us, but to dismiss that it won’t evolve and improve is a ridiculous position to me.

Can you explain how quorom sensing is reasoning and exercising logic?

You think microorganisms can reason? Wow, AI haters are grasping for straws.

Honestly, I don’t understand Lemmy scoffing at AI and thinking the current iteration is all it ever will be. I’m sure some thought that the automobile technology would not go anywhere simply because the first model was running at 3mph. These things always takes time.

To be clear, I’m not endorsing AI, but I think there is a huge potential in years to come, for better or worse. And it is especially important to never underestimate something, especially by AI haters, because of what destructive potential AI has.

I’m sure AI will do those things at some point. Nobody expected the same of our microorganism ancestors.

We poked fun at this meme, but it goes to show that the LLM is still like a child that needs to be taught to make implicit assumptions and posses contextual knowledge. The current model of LLM needs a lot more input and instructions to do what you want it to do specifically, like a child.

Edit: I know Lemmy scoff at LLM, but people probably also used to scoff at Veirbest’s steam machine that it will never amount to anything. Give it time and it will improve. I’m not endorsing AI by the way, I am on the fence about the long term consequence of it, but whether people like it or not, AI will impact human lives.

It’s a scam, y’all.

Yeah, I have a backlog of games and thus usually they’re old games to complete (only just couple of years old, not 30 years old), or at least only require lower spec, so I am not in a rush to upgrade my laptop.

The UN is impotent because it is run by the Security Council, whose members have their own ego and power tripping veto power to forward their own agenda. French president Macron and other world leaders are correct to advocate granting more seats in the security council to allow more members in, and giving more power to the general assembly.

Nah, there should be more UN.

People: Why is the UN so useless?

The UN does something

Also people: ThE Un iS iNtErFerInG wItH oUr SoVeReIgN tea!¡!¡

As a world government advocate, people are ridiculous.

Well, fair play to the current royal house. Prince Charles (he’ll always be a prince to me) upholds the liberal values and accountability since his grandfather’s time.

You’re over thinking. Whatever the Chinese government says, its citizens follow. China also did the same to South Korea many years ago of discouraging tourism, and it kind of worked and hurt the S. Korean economy.

You leave them to do an assignment and they will be on a game in 10 seconds unless you keep on them.

Why even have games in them? If I am an entrepreneur, a school notepad or laptop without games is a good business idea…

It takes decades for innovative products, or seemingly useless ideas, to be commercially viable. That’s why the best response, when asked what is the purpose of doing research on seemingly useless topics, is to say “I don’t know, but I know it’s going to be taxed someday.”

People pay for subscription to ask AI?

So they know that AI is going to be unprofitable for near to medium term?

They’re obviously doing this for PR. As soon as Trump declared Liberation Day, I knew China would use the opportunity to present themselves as the better trading partner. I have seen a recent survey of Europeans saying they trust China more than the US.

But yeah, as recently revealed, the CIA has uncovered a plot by China to sit back, relax and watch the USA destroy itself.

No, but the trauma from the war generations is passed on to the boomers. One of the pioneers on research of generational trauma is a son of a Holocaust survivor. His first observation of generational trauma was when his dad told him to just do what he says without question. And even though the researcher was a child at the time, he already acutely noted that his dad sounded like the Nazis who persecuted him. A lot of family members, unfortunately, bear the brunt of emotional lashing out of those who experienced conflicts.

On occasions I have done overtime or feel under pressure due to work, I do feel my heart palpitating. But I am lucky I immigrated to a country where the work culture is more relaxed compared to others. Had I gone to another country, I might have ended up the same as the guy in the article.

You just summarised the pain I have with troubleshooting Linux. As a pleb, I am happy with Bazzite being user friendly.

I’ve yet to see any negative headlines about Mamdani ever since hr won election

Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich.

Well yeah, it depends exactly what kind of social bubble you are in. If you are in a right wing bubble, you would be led to believe that Mamdani is a woke Muslim terrorist commie.
