I hate how it is called mining, like it is digging up some resource from the earth. While it is just an advanced calculator.

Imagine they found a hidden iron ore mine (That is what I recall being mined in Sweden, if anybody knows something more interesting, like some precious stones, please inform me (looking at this gold/silver could also work)) under a hospital. But nope, just a hidden datacenter.

Of course the books are just vapid art books or travel books.

In a way they already are, with the rich people funding the far right extremist ecosystem.

Considering the style of humor they have and Musk tries to show, I do wonder how hurt Musk is over all this. And only a matter of time before his sycophants create 'CAH is dying' graphs and animal meme images with testicles.

Yeah there is the big problem of 'what if your neighbors decide to make a military', which can be easily solved by 'create your own military first' which then creates an interesting situation for the people around you. And before you know it the red queen is overseeing races again.

Wait, if rerouting around means it is seeking power... then... tcp/ip is self aware! Skynet is here!

if a user on lemmy.ee want to post on lemmy.world, then lemmy.ee have to pay 10 lemmy.world coin to lemmy.world

Note that you don't need cryptocurrencies for this. I think Jaron Lanier talked about an idea like this ages ago, before people tried to put cryptocurrencies into everything.

Instead of improving LLMs, they are working backwards to prove that all other things are actually word prediction tasks. It is so annoying and also quite dumb. No chemisty isn't like coding/legos. The law isn't invalid because it doesn't have gold fringes and you use magical words.

He wants an AI that handles data security breaches by itself. He also now writes emails with ChatGPT

He is the data security breach.

E: Dropped a T. But hey, at least chatgpt uses SSL to communicate, so the databreach is now constrained to the ChatGPT trainingdata. So it isn't that bad.

If only we had paid attention to the roomba hitting us in the leg. It wasn't adorable, it was a murder attempt!

I'd think 'we don't know the side effects, it prob doesn't work, and they are trying to sidestep the FDA' would be good arguments against it. Esp after in the US Thalidomide (yes very much a dead horse), (mostly) wasn't a problem because the FDA stopped it.

Anyway, it seems like the full scale FDA project stranded due to not enough volunteers, so I suggest the HN people mad about this help out. Hey, it might turn out to actually work.
