I think we're still trying to understand why the nation most equipped to solve the problem just lobotomized itself and went sci-fi fantasy delusional.

Because climate change is more similar to erradicating polio than selling cellphones or toppling leaders. In the whole human history, only one disease was erradicated: smallpox. It took centuries, countless smart people, reasonable awarenes

No, there is no masterplan. Not enough of the population was properly educated on the risks, and therefore a solid plan was never even conceived. We needed lots of people thinking about it in order to do that, while most people just discuss

There's no "fight". Any people being aggressive or overly passionate about it (or against it) are, in my view, compromised (provoked, used, manipulated). There has been a consistent attempt at getting everyone to consider the

The world economy is a delicate machine. One or two degrees will not incinerate you, but it might affect some crops, and then some food prices, and then there could be some starving, and poverty, and disease. Things could escalate quickly.

Dude, I chose this example precisely because I know for a fact there is a lot of bullshit about it on the internet and LLMs cannot differentiate between a good source and a bad source. This is honestly unbelievable. You're defending an

No, it does not know culture. And no, it can't handle talking about it. Ask an LLM "Can you compare egyptian mythology with aliens?" and they will happily do it: https://imgur.com/a/jfikuEO That's a

Yes, 400 of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo#Robotaxis LA has more than 6,000,000 cars. That is how strong you can disagree with me. 400 out of 6,000,000. And I'm being kind by considering just LA.

You can get injured by using a hammer without understanding how it works. You can damage a company by using a spreadsheet and not understanding how it works. In your personal opinion, what are the things you should know before using an LLM?

It presents likes and reshares metrics. This rewards content that is vague and viral. If you can trick people to make numbers go up, doesn't matter the quality of the content. It's garbage. C'mon, we all know this already.

I don't understand your point. I think AI companies are afraid to be a huge flop, of throwing huge amounts of money in the trash, of being publicly exposed for chasing a pipe dream. They're paranoid that some foreign state is comp

I agree with the list and the reasoning. Words have power. However, in the current state of things, using the GNU-approved vocabulary is just like painting a target on your own back.

I believe AI companies are the ones that are afraid.

The problem is that you used vague sophist dialogue that could turn either way. You could say that T G A C are the designed parts, or any kind of bullshit honestly. It's bad communication. You need to follow up the vague analogies with

Is Dalí's The Persistence of Memory a painting about the death of painting? I like the nuanced interpretation of Interstellar being about film, but to say that _it is_ about only that is too restricting. This thing about good art, is

How is any of that related to actual silicon sales strategies? Do not mistake adjacent topics for the main thing I'm discussing. It only proves my point that right now, all silicon talk is bullshit.

There's no zero-cost e-waste like that anymore, it was a once-time thing. Also, it's not "a logic", it's not a cosumer recomendation. It was a fluke in the industry that to me, represents a symptom.

Gaming needs no additional VRAM. From a market perspective, LLMs sell GPUs. Doesn't even matter if they work or not. From the geopolitical tensions perspective, they're the perfect excuse to create infrastructure for a global anal
