Still waiting for meta's AI though

Communism was a political system built upon an economic theory by Marx - https://www.amazon.com/Das-Kapital-Critque-Political-Economy/dp/145388632X

>i think china has more billionaires than the us

No, the US has over 2300 billionaires ... China has just over 500 billioniares

As to names .. the claim that you know what is communism and a government communist party does not is laughable

Did you mix up Google and Meta there?

The US is a long way from “post scarcity”. It would means goods allocation would not be necessary anymore because all materials needs are more than fulfilled. (Atmospheric O2 is the only current thing with such characteristics I can think of…)

The notion itself is very contentious and hardly even fulfilled even in extremely optimistic science fiction.

My take is that a softer version of it could be achievable through clever manipulation of collective wants and needs through social media.

I think AI could help make aggregate mankind wants much more gentle on hard ressources like helping develop extremely addicting competitive sports or arts/activities so that almost everybody’s attention could be steered towards something more benign…

Sorry I am dumb I got only about half the words you used.

David, what the fuck

lmao

Microsoft specially want absolute control and to scrape every possible data out of their customers. They strive to implement AI in Windows and be ahead of the competitors. The value of power and control is the ultimate of course.

I meant communism as in the economic theory, i think china has more billionaires than the us at this point. Also, what a party names themselves hardly matters

No, The practice of FOSS development is not a political philosophy but rather a business/distribution model.

Libertarianism is not a political ideology designed around a specific business model like FOSS.

It is framework designed to systematically analyze what actions are justifiable (e.g., the initiation of force/coercion versus consensual exchange).

In medical, there's more of a gap between the innovation and the impact in the market (need time for safety testing, etc.). One of the biggest breaks in medicine within the last several years was the solution for protein folding. We still haven't experience the impact of this yet (a tidal wave of new and more effective pharmacological treatments).

> They're not even communist anymore

LOL!!

Communism is authoritarianism, in fact it is totalitarianism ( far left )

Just like the LAION database is nonprofit but actually literally is harmful to the real artists.

AI 5 years ago was a promise that it will replace boring jobs and give the people more time to create art. Currently young people give up their dreams to persue artistic career because of AI.

Meanwhile the replacement of the artist in the visual industry is based on that same nonprofit LAION database. Artists actually cannot help but "contribute" or simply put - be hostages of data scraping algorithms.

in terms of energy generation, we are not far away from achieving commercial nuclear fusion and there’s plenty of nuclear fission power plants we can build. Fossil fuels are not the end all be all

“It's the Pax. The G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate that we added to the air processors. It was supposed to calm the population, weed out aggression. Well, it works.”

> you are your neurons

why does that matter. you go to sleep every night and the cessation of conscioussness doesn't bug you.

People have died for stupider reasons than "I want to create a clone of me that has my values and can clone themselves and possibly shut down their clones if needed such that they can perform tasks in parallel, oh and they also get a massive speedup and don't require nearly as much space or resources and could thus go into space much more easily and can save quite a bit of time on maintenance etc."

its for the cause (though to be clear i am not actively betting that destructive brain uploading will be a thing, more like, even if you had non destructive brain uploading or some ship of theseus stuff or whatever, once you were actually in the computer you would find it VERY VERY convenient to clone yourself. software processes fork all the time, and their children are killed and garbage collected with reckless abandon)

if you were trying to preserve yourself biologically probably the easiest way would be to stick your brain in a jar lol. which i bet a lot of people would also find morally objectionable XD

I highly doubt Microsoft is investing billions of dollars into AI just out of curiosity. Profit does’t exist in a vacuum, some kind of value needs to be provided in-order to gain profit which means there is certainly alot of value in AI. It is a pandora box tho.

I’m sorry sir, this is 🇺🇸 /s

(But not really sarcastic, more serious)

It's hard to suggest it's '50% of the way' to AGI when it can't really do any reasoning.

I was playing with its coding skills, and the feeling I got was like talking to a kid that was copying off other kids papers.

It would regularly produce code, then do a summary at the end, and in that summary make factually incorrect statements.

If it can't read its own code, then it's not very reliable, right?

I'm not saying this isn't impressive, or a step on the road toward AGI, but the complete lack of reliable reasoning skills makes it less of an 'intelligence' and more like the shadow of intelligence. Like being able to add large numbers instantly isn't 'thinking', and calculators do it far better than humans, but we wouldn't call a calculator intelligence.

We'll see where it goes. I've seen some videos and papers I'm more impressed with than LLMs lately. People are definitely building systems with reasoning skills.

We may be 50% of the way, but I don't feel that LLMs represent that on their own.

“Depending on how you want to think about it, it was funny or inevitable or symbolic that the robotic takeover did not start at MIT, NASA, Microsoft or Ford. It started at a Burger-G restaurant…”

They're not even communist anymore, more like authoritarianism

People persue AI out of curiosity, it's simple. And for profit of course. Just like Pandora myth - humanity can't help itself and stop it, nobody can really predict what is in the box.

Sounds like Meta's Chief is a bit salty.

some artists, so it's a % of the 1% who are stuck in their current workflow and refuse to go forward. Am artist and I love the age of insane abundance of what SD AI provides. :∆
