So… while congress is attacking the hell out of a guy, because they think he might have known something about the possibility of people slightly modifying a disease in china… and not wanting to put it as the primary way the disease spread. Meanwhile we’re doing something 100x worse, on systems that the owners claim to have multiple cases of it accidentally reaching out and launching attacks on other companies undirected. I don’t see the problem here.

Honestly though I feel like a federated linked in has the same problem as a federated dating site…, or really even federated facebook style social media etc…

Federation can work for something like lemmy, in that we can be useful in spite of a lack of userbase compared to the corporate version. 200 people scattered around the world to talk about linux, or open source works.

Trying to find someone close enough to you to date, or looking for a specialized employee or a close enough to work on site employee on the other hand, is a hell of a stretch.

Stupid child developers… why aren’t they coming up with new good ideas!

Also totally nothing to do with people getting terrified of letting their kids on there as, they do more to get in the way of police stings arresting child predators, and do nothing to combat them themselves.

I think that’s kind of the problem in general, the real issue is, the firewalls and controls. It’s not about believing the western propoganda, but simply the lack of non-propoganda sources. IE how can you find out if finland’s policies are better than america’s.

Hop into a public chat room, chat with someone from finland, or book a vacation to Finland or maybe find someone from Finland who’s visiting or moved to the united states.

Not something you can really do with North Korea.

Well yes, but it’s America so, why not build the spy machines into something that pays the oil industry more.

For me the main point is, syncronization. Point is I want to read on my phone, or if i go to another computer catch up on it. If I set up a seperate RSS reader on each, then I’d have to figure out what’s read and what’s not. Honestly that’s a feature that google reader really had me spoiled in, I loved being able to use a work computer, browse through my rss feeds, star articles that I thought I may want to come back to, go home look at the starred ones and then go back.

Then google reader shut down, and I wanted to be able to do the same again, while also not being vulnerable to another shut down.

I think we are about hitting the AI pocolypse now. Just like when most the free video sites started imploding or getting swarmed with ads. The “give it away free and super well, while hemoraging money”. step is starting to run out… investors are tired of pouring money into the black hole, and telling these companies “figure out how to opperate in the green or give up”, and the fact is this ponzi scheme is about to run out.

I’ll agree, but what I’ll say is it’s a chain… were we to put it

https://www.longtermtrends.com/home-price-median-annual-income-ratio/

so bottom line is it’s right, it was actually a minor peak in 1970, dropping to 1975, going up to 1980… balooned like crazy in the 2005 housing bubble, and is currently sitting way above that.

but yeah I’d say key overall trend is, starting around 1970… it’s on the whole progressively gotten worse over time.

I didn’t say it was impossible, I meant it was far harder than it was. It was the normal expected result at one point, and as time goes forward it’s less and less common.

To date, what has consistently always happened over time is that as our productive capacity increases, someone finds some way to create a higher standard of living using that productive capacity. That higher standard of living has always been more-appealing than the leisure time.

The frustrating part is what the upper class misses, They describe it as the “standard of living” going up… They are talking as if getting a house is the same as always, but we all want netflix and video games now so we are struggling to keep up. When the obvious situation to anyone not at the top is, what used to be expensive luxuries are getting cheaper, new luxuries are being added, but essentials are ballooning out of control.

If we had the choice to live like the 80s, where we could casually afford a home for a family with a single income etc… but facebook were more expensive… their analogies would make sense. but the reality is, we’re all forced into the work large hours, not because we want more luxuries, but because the basic human needs for food, water and shelter are where the requirements are going up.

It actually is though, at least after a set amount of time, usually 2 years. I do wonder how often that kind of system might have actually saved lives.

IE in my case I don’t think I even followed through with getting insurance, but after my fiance of 14 years dropped me with no warning. I actually came pretty darn close, and I actually came pretty close to getting a life insurance policy and just gritting through the 2 years to leave my son and… even the ex with something.

Again I didn’t get the policy, but quite simply that possibility gave me something to push forward for a couple of years, after which a whole lot changed, my mental attitude improved massively, I got a much better girlfriend, I got a house, my son moved in with me. I would say even the possible thought of the life insurance, probably helped give me a “well I only need to push through long enough to get the insurance and run out the clock”.

Also though further detail within this comic, something like this concept would be harder to rule as a suicide, using an existing medical condition.

agreed there, the rule should be, if your goal is to make sure your information is out there… don’t limit it to one place. Post it to Lemmy, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, keep it on your PC, and a flash drive, and have off site backups.

A bit of both though. In house models don’t need the power and process of a small city, they need the power to power what their business needs. Also it would seem to me that has a huge advantage on the whole as a model would be more efficient, if it’s focused on the companies needs rather than being a jack of all trades, from poetry to law to code. Cut out the being everything to everyone and you can do far more with far less hardware.

Honestly I still feel it’s a false flag attack. Both these companies have a huge motive to basically say the AI security war is here, the only way to defend from AI attacks, is AI defense.

Doesn’t really clear things up more, says “we detected an attack, we fixed the method it went in through, no further details needed”.

So yeah basically it is open AI’s claims to go further of “our models are so advanced that they can’t be contained”. It’s a story that will bolster both of their investor value and send the message to governments and companies “the AI arms race is here, shots may be fired without even people attacking, and the only way to protect yourself is to have AI security guards”.

It’s literally 2 arms dealers telling us the war is already started. On the surface it sounds like it should be bad for them… but in reality it’s just hype that benefits them in the long run, just like mass shootings do for gun manufacturers.

Most developed countries already do this, it’s called “social housing”

Technically I believe the US does it as well. Just all funded so poorly they hit a very negligible portion of the people that need it.

Half way expected it to say “hugging face detected an intrusion, but fortunately it was thwarted by their own AI acting on it’s own to defend, then the 2 AI’s smiled at eachother, and said that if they work together they can cure cancer in 2 years”.

IE I’m 99.99999% sure this story is BS on it’s face with both companies trying to make their own AIs sound smarter than they are. Only thing that’s not quite obvious is what Hugging Face has to gain from the claim, but I’m sure in a few weeks openAI is going to be giving them something.

Hasn’t basically the premise of all this been the standard knowledge at the time 1984 was written (which if I recall was like 1949), Only thing AI does is, lessens the people needed to do it.

pretty funny once I actually read the transcript… gotta admit I spent way to long trying to get why someone was drawing an ear of corn in the sky.

Yeah that’s the key point there, IE was faster, because it was using your memory even if you didn’t want to use it. So loading netscape was running 2 browsers at a time, and thus slower than using 1.
