Get ready to Fortipatch your Fortishit!

7.7 square mile nation that’s 80% uninhabitable due to mining phosphates with approximately 10,000 people in the middle of nowhere finally makes the news again after decades of nothing happening.

This is why open source AI is necessary!

Oh right! I completely forgot.

It’s happening to the guy in front 👍

…if you take these companies statements at face value and ignore all the other, more realistic reasons why they’re laying people off.

If your language requires an IDE to show you WTF is going on in the code, it’s a bad language.

Given, there’s ways to write poor code in any language, but some are much, much worse than others. Java and JavaScript being the kings of that kind of thing.

Some day, AI assisted coding will become so intelligent that it will look at your average “enterprise” Java code and ask the user, “WTF were they even trying to do here?” Which is the only correct response a lot of the time.

Thank you for posting this comment. I came here to write the exact same thing and now I don’t have to!

Guy in the back is going to get his kneecaps kicked out.

Into the volcano you go!

Seriously though, sacrificing the old to save the young is not so unethical. That’s sort of how life is supposed to work.

“Last one in is a rotten old person!” -I’ll shout as I cut the line and jump off in front of you.

“Cannonball!”

There is a story people tell about AI regulation, and it goes like this: the technology is moving too fast, governments can’t keep up, regulators are overwhelmed, and by the time anyone writes a law the thing they’re trying to regulate has already evolved into something else entirely.

No. That’s not the story people are telling about AI regulation. It goes like this:

If we regulate AI, that will give an advantage to AI companies in other countries. They will surpass our AI capabilities and leave us in the technological dust.

There’s a related story:

If we regulate AI, we’re likely to create more problems because Boomers don’t understand technology.

For those wondering how TF a data center that is not even online yet could be using so much water:

• Soil compaction
• Dust suppression

That’s it. For the scale of that project, that’s all it would take to use 30 million gallons.

When they’re done, they also need to flush miles of pipes which could also use a few million gallons but I don’t think they’re at that phase yet.

This amount of water would be used no matter what buildings they were constructing in that amount of space. Meaning: This article is pretty misleading clickbait (because a lot of people hate data centers lately, the headline will generate clicks).

The alternative is to have loads of data centers instead of one big one. That’s more expensive, so they build a single big one.

If you don’t like data centers, it makes sense to build a few really, really big ones like this rather than lots of smaller ones. Because data centers are necessary and important aspects of modern living. They’re not going to just go away. There’s nothing that could replace them.

Koalas have nearly identical fingerprints as well:

Why just Ottowa? Give every state and every citizen the right!

I mean, what better way to give thanks to Canada’s core of hackers?

Everyone wants to access Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, etc through their TV interface and I just don’t get it. The best experience is when you hook up a PC to your TV… not some TV-centric Android OS or Roku’s thing.

Install Kubuntu on some old PC with a GPU that can handle 4K @60Hz and you’re good to go. KDE and Firefox let you crank up the zoom so everything’s easy to read and it even has HDR support (though I prefer going without it… Old person eyes).

It’s such a vastly superior experience. Not only do you get the usual stuff, you can use a real keyboard to type into that search bar. You can also access all those pirate streaming sites and do normal PC stuff like play games.

Remember kids: It’s not okay to give your developers access to production credentials. However, it’s totally fine to give them to hallucinating GPU addicts.

So their AI prompts are like…

Women: “My boyfriend keeps looking at his phone instead of me!”

Men: “Explain the Bessemer process to me in case I get Isekai’d.”

The one piece shall be mine!

Bah! I think birds are fowl.

I browse “All” most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It’s not like this gif though. It’s more like watching a super interesting science experiment.

“Ah, yes. I see. I see. How interesting!”

My scientific notes so far:

• They crave cuddles. It’s almost like a cuddle-based economy.

I can answer the question of, “what is she holding?”

It’s wireless communicators.

At that time, people really, really wanted wireless communicators like Star Trek and Dick Tracey’s watch. It was the generic representation of, “the future” for all things pop art.

Why was she holding them like that? To represent the concept of these three machines communicating with each other via her wireless control/communicators.

“Prismatic” transfers of energy/information was actually a common trope in sci fi and computer book art all the way into the 1990s. Watch some old black and white sci-fi TV shows and you’ll see beams like that everywhere.
