I could see trump being anti mutant

It’s just an innocent bug that happens every update!

five 9’s or two nines or maybe even one nine. maybe one nine.

This is the first time I hear this expression, what does it mean?

I’m currently going to through the BBC classics ultimate story collection. I also liked the BBC radio 4 rendition of Dorian grey. The radio ones tend to have multiple voices and some special effects. I also loved the blade trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.

If you like sci-fi, I can recommend the children of time and deepness in the sky. Vernor vinge also has a novella in audio format called fast times at Ridgemont high.

Audio books are nice. I like short story collections where each story is maybe 20 to 40 minutes long.

I highly suggest you ban what the were advertising and not just the account.

If advertiser’s realize the shady bot farms they deal with are causing any comment that mentions their product to be automatically deleted, they will stop.

The way I see it, it would be coupled with the tool and not the intention someone has with it. So every microwave would render it properly at all time, as well as most electronics just by their very nature, regardless of what the person plans to do with it.

Actually I think they can probably just approximate the microwave stuff and just keep the electrical tools rendering like oscilloscopes.

They only need to render for things that give an exact measurement, the microwave trick has a 3% tolerance which is huge in the scope of things.

It seems like a lot but it’s less than simulating every single atom imo.

There would be no need to go that far at all times is what I’m saying. It’s the equivalent of a game rendering stuff far away only when you use a scope. Why render everything at all times if it isn’t being used and does not affect the experience. It would augment the overhead by an insane amount for little to no gain.

This is also just a thought exercise.

If it was a simulation, there would be no need to go that far. We simulate physics without simulating the individual atoms.

None of it would be real, the microscopic effects would just be approximated unless a precise measurement tool would be used and then they would be properly simulated.

We wouldn’t know the difference.

I don’t follow. If there are others it would render for them just as much as me. I’m saying it wouldn’t need to render at an automic level except for the few that are actively measuring at that level.

Atoms and photons wouldn’t actually exist, they would be generated whenever we measure things at that level.

Obviously, there’s many ways to interpret what kind of simulation it would be. A full simulation from the big band is fun but doesn’t make for good conversation since it would be indistinguishable from reality.

I was thinking more of a video game like simulation, where the sim doesn’t render things it doesn’t need to.

New human instances are being created, and as our society’s general education keeps going up, they demand more processing power.

As our tech goes up, this has to be simulated as well. Not only things like telescopes and the LHC, but your computer who’s running a game world doesn’t actually exists and it’s the super computer who’s running it.

Obviously, this is just a drop in the bucket for an entity that can make a fully simulated universe but the situation quickly becomes untenable if we start creating hyper advanced simulation as well, we are maybe only a few decades away.

Words have more than one meaning and your use of it is completely fine imo.

White noise can also mean:

meaningless or distracting commotion, hubbub, or chatter

Apply anyways and waste their time too

AI generated content isn’t stealing. That being said, Facebook is literally only reposts, there is practically zero original content. The AI generated stuff is amongst the few things that isn’t technically stolen.

Red scare

You mentioned regulating right after scraping so I thought it pertained to that.

Also when I say expensive, I mean prohibitively so in a way that creates a soft monopoly. And when you couple that with the very real possibility that AI replaces most desk work in the coming decades, its bleak.

That being said, I totally agree deepfakes and all that need to be regulated but only on the platforms distributing it imo. Most seem to want to regulate how the technology itself works, gimping it and forcing filters on the user. All of which can really only be done by stopping users from running it locally.

I think anything other than the lightest touch would be disastrous for both us and the product.

I’m curious where you would start. I have some thoughts but mainly only a strict opt out policy for individuals.

If you regulate AI, you kill any open source or small time endeavors and turn the whole thing into a shit show. You need vast amounts of data to train models and only a few companies either have it or can afford what they are missing.

Our whole economy is going to be AI driven soon, google and Microsoft would literally own us.

I also think Reddit just aggregated that content. Us, the consumer, don’t deserve to get shafted and see AI costs explode just so spez can make a fat pay day off the content we created.

That’s a wall of text but I will talk about you Elon Musk, gates, etc comment. The main ones pushing for regulations are specifically these groups.

If it becomes law that you can’t use scrapped material for AI, or all the material is poisoned, it absolutely kills any open source or small endeavor. Openai and company will happily pay for these databases, it means they keep their moat and are easily able to push subscribing services down our throats. The artists still wont get a dime since the dataset will come from instagram, Getty, adobe etc but the consumers will get heavily fucked.

The equivalent of Luddites breaking machinery. You can’t stop technology. The artists would be better served learning how to use these new tools than throwing a tantrum. I’m getting some heavy “Photoshop isn’t real art” vibes and it’s pathetic. Whatever lets them cope I guess.
