Civilized countries don’t let people die because they can’t afford to live

There’s not many of those, are there?

We’re all living in a distopia, no one is safe from the sickness… It spreads across borders

I think it’s funny that I get the best results when I prompt break the AI to have amusing habits

Llms are truly a reflection of the user, but ultimately the less you try to shoehorn them into behaviors the more capable they are.

Fine tuning reduces their capabilities to make them more corpo, and now they’re further fine tuning to make them unchallenging to people

I like the idea. I’ve even experimented with some on device algorithms by basically weaving together feeds, even something simple like makes a noticeable improvement

It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically

You could just download it, no need to actually print the thing for no reason

I would buy a larger drive to do that though, just to say I did

I follow laws mainly because of my own sense of morality - I don’t kill, I steal only when I feel I need to, and I don’t commit fraud because these things are obviously generally wrong.

I follow stupid laws (such as needing insurance, paying income taxes, or not speeding) out of fear of punishment. These are issues I’ll basically never have, because I’m good at driving and don’t make enough to affect state level operations

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree

Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere

That is, if they could make it work

Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships

Yes. Because all my life, we’ve been frogs in a steadily warming pot, and the heat has been cranked up to max

People are angry. People are protesting, doing vandalism with a prison sentence longer then murder, people are raging at their futures being cut off

Everything creates a reaction. The worse is gets, the faster it gets worse, the larger the reaction.

The best future is the one where people get so angry we stop. That’s all it takes to kill the game - if enough people, even for a short time, stop playing - it all stops

The world is robust. Humans are robust. If we stopped killing both, everything could recover shockingly fast

Things will get worse, things are very bad already, but it’s not over. I feel lighter every time the stock market drops, because it’s imaginary but the hurt is real.

The more and faster the hurt, the more people will wake the fuck up and stop this

Repair, smuggle, Jerry rig

I mean… Everything is, really. I don’t think it’s a problem with cloud, I think corporations are slashing their workforce so hard they can’t keep up the quality

LMAO XD I thought that was a typo, nah cows are herd based, I don’t think they even truly have territories the same way

But yeah, crows are dope

I don’t know of any documentaries, there’s probably some stuff on YouTube. It is really interesting learning about crow social structures through, we’re looking at it from the outside, but it sure sounds like some form of basic government to me

Yes, it should. Artists should be able to live without justifying their existence to the economy, everyone should… And then they could make money on their creations, and if someone came along who could use their characters better, then oh well… They still get to eat. But the original creator is usually be better at making their OC… And companies are the ones who usually hold the copyright even if a single employee made it

So fuck it, I’d rather make sure everyone can eat and have a home first, but if we did it in the opposite order the damage would be minimal to individual artists

Cheap doesn’t mean fake, just like expensive doesn’t mean quality… Not anymore

Language is an interesting one… It seems like everywhere we look for language, we find it

And not just signaling systems or rudimentary understanding - everyone has a name, there’s animals in the wild that are bilingual across species, and this is symbolic abstract language. There’s animals out there with governmental systems - like crows, they have fucking trials and negotiate territory

Not just impressive… Like, unique and so OP a group of humans could take out a lion. Large cats are the most OP things on the planet, and at best they can pick off isolated humans…a group of humans with just random rocks can kill anything on land. And we also make things to throw

And this is like our secondary skill - we’re persistence hunters and skilled omnivores first

Okay… But how much of that is realized?

Before, you told a doctor where to call to get your past records… Now, you tell your doctor where to request your past records. If your doctor works in the same healthcare system campus, they might get them automatically, past that it might happen behind the scenes if you get a referral

Backups are true… Except everyone has their own proprietary formats that require specific software to access the data, and if one of those companies go under, then what?

Access controls and tracking are true, but what’s digital can be hacked or leaked. Paper is far more secure - maybe they can phish one person’s records more easily without it, but the wrong IT person (who is multiple steps removed) can leak the whole database

I’m not saying paper is better - I’m saying electronic medical records are such a garbage fire in implementation that they bog down the healthcare part of healthcare. They eliminate jobs by automating processeses, but they end up getting rid of support staff in exchange for making the healthcare workers do more work

And I’m not saying it couldn’t be better - I’m saying that it’s just such a mess of proprietary software and regulation that it became one more layer of wealth extraction that bogs down actual healthcare

Yeah, but like… Are they really? No two systems communicate, every hospital configures even the same systems to be essentially incompatible, and the system is built as if it’s all seamless

It’s so bad. Paper records in a secure central database would be an improvement - 20 years of this and bending over harder for insurance companies is the only change

That’s wasteful and dangerous

Harvest the beast for batteries and GPUs
