don't you find it a little bit too pretentious to write off the majority of people into "braindead" categories?

"cortex-disabling", what a quote

>but it has proved that Russia is weak

not really, I think.

To stop the advance and drag it into positional warfare whole europe had to scrape for surplus arms, US provides a ton of munitions and guidance, the financial burden carried by the EU is absolutely insane - Ukarine's military budget is 40% of its GDP excluding direct military aid, etc.

Of course the war didn't go as to RF's regime boasting, but of all things it actually proved that the regime is not to be underestimated - they are very flexible, can adapt well and are very fast at adopting technology into the field.

I mean, we know now that they are not as powerful as they marketed - but the only other country who has engaged in a direct war with a peer adversary is Ukraine, and we don't know how prepared every other country is in practice.

I wish all the best for Poland and Polish people, but I don't think we should hedge our bets on nation-states and the situation around that going forth in 21st century

as with other large-scale technologues, the danger is not in the model itself, but in the person who runs it - and those are completely unreliable

its good it says "jensen huang says" so we instantly know its not worth reading

David Ellison, as in the same Ellison as Larry?

oh god oh no

why?

uhhh... capitalism

>flower in your brain all on their own

almost like... cancer itself

nah, CEO-s have been getting a legal pass since the invention of corporation exactly for the purpose of being "unaccountable"

check boeing for example, a rather blatant example

> hack its way into the user data

silly LLM, so ruthless in its pursuit that it puts real pressure on the innocent and the most open company on the planet

not much substance in the article, sadly. There really needs to be some solid evidence on the mechanism and causes - which would be very interesting and a great opportunity for a follow-up.

at first I thought your post was a bit revolting with "have you read ToS?" bit, but in the end I completely agree and understand

I also don't get why it was downvoted, other than due to people not reading past the first sentence - although in the modern world's attention deficit that is understandable too

great comment, just wanted to add a little: all three countries were pioneering rocketry in the 20-30s, more or less in equal measure.

I don't know why this WW2 rocket discussion happened to begin with, but people here don't seem to understand that there is no magical inherent technical skill which is unique and irreplaceable. Experience helps to speed things up, sure, but it can be acquired by any program given time and resources, with no talent blockers.

For anyone actually unfamiliar with history, this is a gross exaggregation made with a sole purpose of equalizing nazi crimes with what happened in the soviet union.

History does not work this way, in the early modernity masses were cohesive and industrialized, and so were the crimes and atrocities.

Every developed country got to it, but what makes nazis different is that the regime was built with the sole purpose of commiting atrocities, hence the outstanding scale and character of the matter.

Plesetsk is also european soil.

exactly, and a huge shame this scam has been forgotten. Also, all the OpenClaw hype seemed to have vanished somewhere - with no real impact

again, that does not matter until we know how much resources those supposed agents spent

with enough tokens and compute those cases are somewhat trivial, and we also don't know what was the setup etc etc

for all we know it might have burned through 3 trains of coal running on prompt like "uhhh you know communicate but dont let me catch you ahaha"

should've made nice cars instead T_T

good riddance

yes

yes, it was

"Ford did not invent the weekend – the idea had been bubbling under for a century, in campaigns by trade unions, religious groups and progressive employers – but by putting his considerable industrial weight behind it, the two-day chunk of freedom was born."

I have not seen a passage more ignorant of the history of class struggle in a long while

You know, "the idea was bubbling", wonder why it never got implemented until 1926? Maybe the work day was not always 8 hours too? What a marvel!

the definition of "wanted suspects" is the key here, with proper legal loopholes everyone is a suspect, and everyone is wanted

exactly, yep

To add: same happened in russia around 2018 on a couple of subway stations in St.-Pete and in moscow at first

the result? faster tracking and arrests of people for checks who were deemed too problematic + (i.e. with anti-war protests in 2022) the cameras were used to track or threat tracking almost everyone who protested, and lowering the load on the police by coming to the dwellings afterwards in the next several days or even weeks without the need to do it there and then

in 2018-2021 it was still possible to overwhelm the holding capacity of jails in major cities, but after mass tracking it more or less became obsolete

yep, they have a hard time grasping the fact that its been the same for the past 40-60 years

the only exception now is not the corrupt administration, but the one being the most inept and blatant at being corrupt as opposed to its predecessors

Isn't an insult really, just an argument about terms.

"Code was never the hard part" in my opinion is more about the actual writing and making it compile and fit together. The hard part is one level above: figuring what to write, not only on the architectural level, but also implicitly during the writing itself. LLMs tackle a part of it, but not the whole problem, thus "the code was never the hard part" is about "how to make the already-present plan compile", not "knowing the system underneath is not hard actually"

compare with something automotive: the process for changing an intake gasket and installing a turbo is roughly the same, but if you screw up the compression on your engine in the second case, you ruin everything - saying "installing was never the hard part" means that installation is the final step, however someone still might be upset, because he or she implicitly thinks "installing" means more than just the physical process of bolting the intake on.

Is it an insult to all mechanics to say that "installing stuff was never the hard part"? No, because context here naturally points to a narrow definition which excludes cases requiring engineering, i.e. adding a part in a tight space, drilling the block to make a new auxilliary installed, machining a bracket etc

again, nothing new and/or interesting

what matters here is amount of electricity and compute spent, how exactly they define agents and their reward systems etc etc

give someone the same money as not-so-open not-so-ai and you wouldn't need crazy ipo pump stories, a team of people could write a stuxnet with a couple zero-days baked in too

its impressive of course that currently the transformer architecture reached such a point, but i am 100% sure this is not "oh its the deep philosopical machine breakaway moment" - in any case, humans already invented persistent unaccountability machines: those are LLCs and corporations.

The bottom line is: given time and resource any system would be attacked in such a way by a sufficientlt complicated entity. Transformers and RL can better convert resources into time-savings, while having drawbacks elsewhere.

...in the US

a great article, one can somewhat expect this given the history of research in major psychological phenomena: Stockholm syndrome, prison experiment, etc etc

as for the arrogant people - of course they do exist, but it does not really warrant an "effect" of its own name, especially that most of us know in one way or the other why estimations fail and how it happens too

why indeed one must wonder? any ideas?

very well, its great tp have something else threatening the nation state

lets just hope some day there will be enough threats for nations to crumble
