I’m keen on local models but prices are getting out of hand. I insured my workstation recently for more than twice what I built it for, because it’d cost that to rebuild it with identical parts.

If an AI was provably 100% correct then I guarantee you people would listen to it.
Intelligent people will believe the most obvious nonsense sometimes; engineers are represented among young-Earth creationists for example.

To be fair, it’s going to be more like running an electric kettle constantly which isn’t going to excessively load the grid.
Unless you’re in the UK of course where the grid operators have to manage capacity around half time of major football games as everyone puts a brew on at once.

And now the oligarchs behind the big AI firms ingest pirated scientific papers at enormous scale to build their products, and they see fuck all consequences for it. It’s quite plausible the very papers Swartz was hounded to his grave over ended up in the training data. Justice is a fucking rare thing.

Don’t fuck Spez actually, there’s no doubt in my mind he’s a terrible shag.

It’s like an old pub where you made happy youthful memories, but it closed years ago and the building is now too fundamentally rotten to ever go back to its former glory. Best thing for everyone involved is for it to burn to the ground and be replaced by something new.

I wish the press would get into the habit of interpreting ‘rogue agent’ as ‘we can’t sandbox our potential malware for toffee’.

I’ve come around to this poster actually, next time people moan about them I’ll start using the long s!

He has also called pensioners ‘dependents’ who shouldn’t get to vote
Amusingly I’m pretty sure this would tank the conservative vote pretty badly in most Anglophone countries. It certainly would in the UK.

Don’t forget the drop bears and sasquatches with enormous capacity for recreational drugs.

If you give these people 25.4 millimetres they’ll take 1.6 kilometres.
With that motherfucker it’ll be something vile or the kind of concentrated cringe that makes your earwax melt just sharing a biosphere with it.
Probably both.
