The Federation president is probably passable. Though Star Trek really doesn't show how the Federation government is structured probably because they don't want to lean too much into the socialist undertones in case they get canceled (like actually canceled) for it.

Probably people who thought they could make an app with AI, realised it's not possible to make good software without actually learning how software is made, and never opened Cursor or whatever again.

If anything, ban MEN'S sports to assist fertility.

Men can get kicked in the balls and it's over. Women are objectively built better for sports in that regard.

Don't know about "fun again" but definitely a lot less nervewracking and paranoia inducing.

Fire up the torrents

Also anyone eating that pork should be concerned. Who knows if one day they'll accidentally use Zyklon B instead of CO2.

You can run a local LLM capable of assisting in software development for less energy than running a AAA video game. I'm not denying the environmental impact of the current AI landscape, but I kind of disagree that it's intrinsic to LLMs as a whole, I think it's more a symptom of capitalism and its disregard for sustainability causing everything it touches to have a high environmental cost.

Also, nearly all modern computing has high environmental costs, certainly all cloud computing. I think instead of focusing on AI only, it would be more helpful to engage in a broader discussion on how computing can be made more energy efficient as a whole, and do proper cost benefit analysis of all things we use computers for, including but not limited to LLMs. We may well still conclude from that process that we need to stop using LLMs, in which case we should.

If you're against LLM use on environmental grounds (which I'm not disagreeing with), I submit to you that we should take the idea even further and things like gaming, video streaming, high frequency trading, social media, and any other nonessential computing should be on the same chopping block for the same reason. Applications of computing that we also use at scale with high environmental impacts, but that have been normalised and practically seen as a right by many of the same people against any amount of AI use (not saying that's you, speaking generally). Why should AI be the only thing we raise concerns about if we're to raise concerns? Doing environmental protection piecemeal by independently targeting single things and not the entire system has been shown time and time again to not work at best and make it worse at worst.

TL;DR

Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it.

China is good at compressing the existing models by stealing the answers they give you to make models that have equivalent performance that are way cheaper (plagiarism)

Lol plagerism is when they take your shitty product and actually make it better apparently. Begs the question why China manages to succeed at this when Western companies that own the original product can't. You'd think they'd always be one step ahead of those damn plagerising Chinese scum or at least would be able to do the exact same thing China does.

Also if you're calling plagerism on this I'm calling plagerism on all of AI. You can't accept any generative AI while simultaneously pearl clutching when someone else plagerises your country's AI. So pick one. Either we ban all AI for plagerising all of humanity or we don't give a shit when one AI company plagerises another.

So I was on a bus that had been parked for a while before pulling into the station. It was was quite hot out and the bus had been turned off so the inside was pretty hot as well, but the air conditioning was working and I could feel it cooling down. Apparently this wasn't good enough for one person who opened both of the front windows, the ones that have big "Air conditioned bus. Open window in emergency only" signs on them. So the bus is now going down the road blowing in hot air from two gaping holes, so surprise surprise the bus stayed hot despite the air conditioning while that person kept fanning themselves without realising they were the one that making the bus hot.

Also, no I didn't confront them about it because I was sitting somewhat in the back of the bus and definitely don't have the personality to potentially cause a scene on public transit. I've literally seen people get into screaming matches over the windows on transit and didn't need that in my day. I did close them on my way out because I rode to the end of the line though.

TIL your phone apparently does no or easily spoofed authentication of the identity of the base station it decides to connect to. Anyone know more about this and how it's possible?
