Wow. Thanks for the advice. I guess that’s just Lemmy showing me the door. Good luck with your community here.

LLMs (this is NOT AI)

I disagree. When I was studying AI at college 20+ years ago we were also talking about expert systems which are glorified if/else chains. Most experts in the field agree that those systems can also be considered AI (not ML though).

You may be thinking of GAI or Universal AI which is different. I am a believer in the singularity (that a machine will be as creative and conscious as a human), but that’s a matter of opinion.

I didn’t downvote you

I was using “you” more towards the people downvoting me, not you directly. You can see the accounts who downvoted/upvoted, btw.

Edit: and I assumed the implication of your comment was that “people who code are safe”, which is a stretch I was answering to. Your comment was ambiguous either way.

Also I’ve met enough people with “ideas” that I reject the premise. Really creative talented people are rare.

You’ll get blindsided real quick. AIs are just getting better. OpenAI are already saying they moved past GPT for their next models. It’s not 5 years before it can fix code longer than 400 lines, and not 20 before it can digest a specification and spout a working software. Said software might not be optimized or pretty, but those are things people can work separately. Where you needed 20 software engineers, you’ll need 10, then 5, then 1-2.

You have more in common with the guy getting replaced today than you care to admit in your comment.

Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted instead of having a discussion, but good luck to you all in your careers.

Not if you use DNSSEC.

Don’t know about Cruise, but Waymo also, and they’ve been tested in snow and rain that Tesla doesn’t even engage. https://twitter.com/Waymo/status/1721629316625093035

To be fair, Tesla is probably doing testing in winter too. But again, Tesla doesn’t seem to be aiming at level 4, while Waymo is going level 5 all the way.

Waymo and Cruise aim at no drivers. So “driver interference” is not even an option. And they’re already on the road in selected cities.

I believe FSD is making great progress yes. They’re probably better than the competition (from car manufacturers’ equivalent). But I don’t think they’re working at the same level as Waymo. Just not.

Overreacting and dramatization is what social media trained us to do, so I’ll go ahead and answer that question with… no, probably not. Or as social media taught me; I SLAM your comment DOWN!

Municipal broadband is not a small company though. It’s a cooperative owned by residents.

And in many states it’s actually illegal. Which makes no sense.

Oh, so thats what it was. I thought it was a prank call.

Nah, just allow communities to build their local infrastructure. Trust me. You don’t need to threaten the status quo, just allow the market to compete.

Every town where local fiber is available, Comcast and Spectrum suddenly have cheaper and more reliable service. It’s magical.

Same on Kagi, right after retrohandhelds.gg.

There’s nothing to gain from this, though. If he fails within the deadline to post his bond he just gets his appeal denied. Hopefully. At last.

There’s a survival bias too. People rarely will hear about or play the bad stuff from that era, but we keep hearing about the bad stuff happening now because of marketing. People then get nostalgic of a time that didn’t really exist. For every Mario Bros there’s a dozen Bad Street Brawler that no one plays today.

As someone who grew up in the 80s there were a lot of garbage from then too, it just didn’t survive the test of time.

The fact that there is basically no good “premium” options for smart devices

What’s wrong with Control4 and/or Savant, and Lutron?

The Red Mage from FF1. My first team was four Red Mage.

Reddit is dead

I know Lemmy has a hard on for that one, but I’m gonna require a citation that Reddit is dead. Their AI subreddit is orders of magnitude more active than anything here, and discussions are still very deep and wide.

And if you want to discuss AI outside of Reddit, that’s fine, but unfortunately it’s gonna be private servers like discord. Or companies slack, meetups or things of that nature.

From what I heard, even in the original Chinese the characters are badly written. Liu Cixin just doesn’t know how to write compelling characters.

We’re the closest planet. They’re 4 light years away from us.

If the parties were reversed this wouldn’t happen in the first place. Proof: all the blue states where this doesn’t happen.
