My comment was a bit trite but I was actually hoping for a reasonable shot at doing something worthwhile. My expectations for doing it properly would be: - facilities. Sure, high power microwaves and pressure chambers and combining the two

One of the issues is the network effect self reinforcing by the organistions you'd normally trust to be above this sort of thing. Like government bodies requiring that you use one of two american phone OS. No webpage and no other optio

Between Saudi and right wing influence it seems one publisher will be trying to influence social commentary.

I just want to point out the exception - the person who the AI learns from. Someone has to know it. And to advance it to the next level requires domain level expertise. Or are we allowing LLM's to determine the next CSS snapshot/v

Sensible defaults and/or a basic wizard to choose templated configs or assist with customising the few things that have to be.

It's different use cases and daily living styles entirely. You can't compare nations and cultures as though they operate in an equivalent manner.

I find this whole discussion weird. The whole world is in a transition phase. For some it will make sense to jump to pure EV use, for others it won't. That whole “The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.” thi

What is the world view (aka context) of this little old lady? Watch the news and see CEO's with golden handshakes after the company is nailed for something. Wall street failures. Companies getting government bailouts. The current US pr

On the one hand, this a thing most VR headsets can do these days. On the other hand, we can just do this stuff ourselves now. No movie studio level of equipment required. And THAT is pretty awesome.

Analysing the source can provide information about the model without ever running it. Does it have an inbuilt aim/censorship/bias/certain-capabilities?

That's a lot of rock. It is a thing with humans. We : 1. overestimate how much we can do in a short amount of time. 2. underestimate how much we can do incrementally over a long amount of time.

There's two issues with copyright. 1. author owns the right to distribute copies of the work 2. this right goes on for faaaaaar too long. I don't have an issue with 1. You had a good idea, you implemented it, you deserve something

On the one hand, sure, it is a US problem. On the other hand, US culture has a way of travelling. IE surveillance dickheads see what is in the US and decide to enact it in their local country. In this case, it is handy to see how the conver
