Kind of some level of any system isn’t it? In short if a system has a means to power that can tweak the rules. Inevitably will result in one group ceasing the rules, turning them to raise how much they can tweak them, and ensuring they continue to be tweaked in their favor.
Communism relies on a possibly impossible starting point. Theoretically if the starting point were reached, it seems the most sustainable. Whether it’s possible to reach that starting point is the great mystery.
I’m thinking, it’s an attempt to be more succesful with nerds like us? I gotta admit I thought it was possibly a real person the first time I saw it, I’m more than desensitized to supermodel looking asian pictures from when I was on dating apps and occasionally reddit. I’m guessing just a non horny, non model, claiming to be studying in STEM is trying to avoid the obvious red flags for people that know supermodels probably aren’t into them.
Was an old joke.
I invented a revolutionary new power generation!
“is it actually new or just steam”
“… steam”.
well yeah I generally don’t use AI for much anything, but in this case used it specifically because it’s the opinion on something written by OpenAI, which makes it’s disapproval coming from openai’s algorythm more amusing.
Plus funnier for them to have to debunk… is it better for them to argue “well our AI sucks, don’t take it’s word for anything”, or admit the obvious “you asked it for a view to the average person and not our profit margains, of course from that perspective our plan is bad”.
It’s possible to assume that the professor did the math.
But yeah any time machine would also basically have to have space travel built in to compensate.
They knew that when they wrote Dr Who (IE the time travel machine is called a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space).
Just for humor’s sake I plugged in the proposal itself into chatgpt to have it give a summary on how it helps or hurts the average american – https://chatgpt.com/share/67d32e59-830c-800c-b9d6-c4abe50b37d4
The way I read that even chat gpt says it needs better safeguards
Overall Verdict
This proposal prioritizes AI industry growth and national security over strong worker and IP protections.
If implemented well, it could boost the economy, create jobs, and enhance innovation, but it needs stronger safeguards for workers and content creators to prevent exploitation.
The copyright section is the most concerning—it seems to favor big AI firms over independent creators.
The export control strategy could be effective in protecting national security but might hinder global AI collaboration.
well worth noting if you do have it set to say syncronize (mine goes to nextcloud but the app has options for file system, dropbox, onedrive, webdav). The syncronized version will be all plain text .md files in markdown language. simple enough to point something else to that directory.
It’s also just markdown text files, saved locally (but syncronizable to cloud/webdav etc…). So in short, yeah you can move things back and forth between joplin and obsidian, or one of many many markdown editors.
I mean that’s mainly it… it’s amazing at clearing adds off of news articles general viewing pages like blogs etc… but yes as you said, it’s not particularly great for things like youtube/spotify etc… things that deliver the ads through the same source as the main content.
I do worry a little about future antitrust actions, because while I generally like Valve as they are, Gabe won’t be around forever. They have a giant influence in the market, and they don’t even have to try (they were one of the first, so it makes sense they’d have the most market share); it could be that the company I generally like starts actively being anticompetitive or starts donating to Nazis or something.
Agreed, if there’s one potential weak point… it’s basically that valve is the 15 years ago google of gaming right now. Great support for open source and linux… mostly good policies (minus maybe their micro transaction and lack of cracking down on how say the CSGO skins feed an underage gambling industry).
But yeah, effectively we still have the worse of positions that, one bad management choice, and we could all lose access to all the games we’ve purchased from them over the last decade or 2.
well that’s common, but the big thing is, you can see what you are working with. Big difference in at least knowing you need to try a different site when say
Google: Law about X in state1
Top result: Law about X in state3: It’s illegal
Result 2 pages in: here’s a list of each page and whether law X is legal in your state… (State 1 legal)
Versus chatgpt
Is X legal in state1?
Chatgpt: No
Amen to that. I mean right now there’s also more reason than ever to convince people to leave reddit. (IE people being banned, not just for mentioning luigi, but upvoting comments mentioning luigi).
Followed by the fascist ripping it up. “DEI!”
it has voice and video… though to be honest I’ve never used it.
damn… there goes my heist plans… was going to wait till AI robots took over the manufacturing lines, then walk in and start stealing product right off the line. I never anticipated all the robots would know kung fu.
Not a bad list, one thing I would say though, for self hosting, vaultwarden is a far more ideal server than bitwarden (same clients work, but faster and all features are unlocked).
BEVs need to park for a while to get a substantial charge, not even full one. The fast chargers get Teslas to 80% in something like thirty minutes
That’s why my point was “truck stop level gas station”. IE those huge gas stations off the highway, several in most cities… huge lots, and most importantly have at least one, sometimes a few restaurants inside. IE they are already designed as a good place for truckers to take a half hour to an hour to, re-organize themselves for a long trip. Not a totally unreasonable process for a road tripping family etc… to hit every 3-4 hours that an EV can drive.
I can’t fully disagree on the potential of renting a car if it’s extremely infrequent to make long trips. Public transit would be nice, though gotta say there’s a lot of places where that’s pretty non-viable. Least from where I live the nearest bus station from me is about 30-45 minutes away by car.
Exactly that’s where it should be doubled down… if their own estimates are correct… it’s only a 6 month expense. If they really believe they are about to open the key to basically eliminating the cost of millions of workers indefinately, wouldn’t throwing thousands of workers to accomplish it faster, lead to cost savings.
Say if I wanted a machine that could make eggs indefinately forever… but to make it I had to put 100 eggs into it. why would I put one egg in a day for 8 months, instead of buying 100 eggs today.
Or, worse, they might actually have to hire enough people to actually do the job. Why hire 100 people with good work life balance, when you can hire 60 people that aren’t allowed to have lives or families.
Hell I wouldn’t even say that… they don’t understand it, they don’t care to understand it, they don’t know or care what federated means. They went there because, it’s not currently nazified twitter.
I get that it’s “technically” federated… but practically it’s for all practical purposes just a proprietary program, run by a group that isn’t currently horrific. Unfortunately everything I see in it says, it’s every bit as vulnerable, and it can be good for as long as the owners care about not becoming a nazi propoganda machine. Actual recourse from it going evil… is non existant.
