Well, if Gary Marcus says it's not AGI, chances are it is.

Why would you assume that a pile of linear algebra would want anything at all?

To be honest, I wonder if anyone has ever looked at how many jobs MSFT Excel has actually killed? That's an interesting thought.

We have self-driving cars right now. The average 17 year old is not formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem proofs either? The frontier is spiky, but it's AGI. I swear at the rate the goal posts are moving we're going to have to s

The fact that golf courses use an order of magnitude more resources than a data center should certainly factor into the context.

I love to see a successful union drive. Pretty cool!

The "leftist" take is "we should seize the means of computation" not "we should protect intellectual property rights!" The hate for data centers is a liberal thing, not a "leftist" take. Although, be

I seem to recall that data centers require orders of magnitude less water than a golf course too if you want to compare apples to apples. Look, just say what you mean. If you think "AI is BAD" just say that, don't try to cou

> We are also in a time when most people would prefer to use that water for drinking, washing, cleaning… basically anything except data centres. And those people are stupid or to be charitable "ignorant." Full stop. I'm no

Most people don’t realize that yet here in America. The fascists are still in our OODA loop.

Didn’t I just see a thing about how actual unemployment is at like 24% a few days ago?

Hilariously it is, I'm just reading more on this!

I agree, like the average human isn't generally intelligent. IMO, AGI is literally no different from ASI, though people think it is. Like, Imagine you have 1,000 generally intelligent humans working for you (which nobody is really) an

I rest my case.

99.9% with the right harness? Ok, we're at AGI then. Prediction: We will now see the goalposts moved towards "well, a human costs less / is more efficient" - that will prevail for a few months until they come up with so

It's not bad per se, but even something like a dark mode is a giant pain in the ass. Last time I had to make a quick tkinter interface was like a month ago for a project I was working on just for me and I wanted a cleaner interface a

This is a fun idea! Are you using Guile-tk?

by piloto_ciego 2mo ago
Well, they talk about the "barebones" Tcl version - tbh, I didn't even really know that was an issue in Python, and he is right that you have to remember to install it, and basically whenever I get a new computer I screw it u

Tkinter or other Tk based GUI interfaces are the immediate tool I reach for whenever I build something that's not in the CLI or in the browser. My general "daily driver" is python and I love that I can just spin up a cross-pl

Well, I'm certainly not in favor of empire... especially as an Alaskan I find the fact that I live in an oil/minerals/fisheries resource extraction colony somewhat distressing. I will say that "Empire" in the "

So, any legit climate scientists or oceanographers here? Or agronomists? How abnormal (and not just, the climate graphs for the last century say this is bad) is this on a longer timescale. Like, when was the water this warm last? I feel

There’s a fantastically silly but fun book about this the name of which eludes me.

I hate to be a "debbie downer" with regard to the politics of this, but... the mid terms aren't going to change what happens with the environment, even if the Dems got a super majority. There's a global war on, we'r

This is the correct take here. SSO is where they'll park these things.

Everyone says this about the rate of improvement every month, and yet, I'm not just basically conjuring the code into existence that's paying my bills and building my company. Personally, I know it's just my anec-data, but I

If trying to do it terrestrially is because the city council will riot then doing it on orbit seems like the better play. Just saying. “I can do it in this challenging environment or I can not do it at all” is kind of a false choice if yo
