I wouldn't call it "surreal" at all, I'd call it "completely expected" given who runs that platform

We're not in a movie. Climate change isn't going be solved by one brilliant scientist. It's not even a scientific/technology problem at this point, it's a political one.
Reading the comments in that thread made me realise how little I miss Reddit. The sub is RedditAlternatives and there's a whole lot of people in there whinging that people are talking about alternatives to Reddit. Lemmy has it's problems, but Reddit is toxic AF.
There's some evidence to suggest he'll lose significant support: https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/48654-would-donald-trump-conviction-move-his-voters-evidence-from-past-present-bill-clinton-polls
But hard to know for sure.
How long before it's illegal to hack LLMs?
Yeah, this is one of the many things that annoys me about AI discourse.
"We can use it to solve climate change!"
We already technically know how to solve climate change, but politics makes doing that impossible.
And, no, AI can't "fix" politics. We're going to have to figure that out by ourselves.
Why would you have zero expectations that he'll win? Were you not around in 2016?
It's highly country specific... America's puritanical roots seem to still hold sway. Go to Western Europe and nudity is commonplace
Trump may flirt with anti-vaxx sentiment or climate denial, etc., but he can't fully support those ideas. They're very niche and he'd lose the centre if he did.
RFK Jr doesn't hold back on those issues. For conspiracy types he is closer to their beliefs than Trump.
We already had that evidence by the 1960s!
Depends where you live. Plenty of countries with high % of renewables
Sadly, the lock-in is pretty extreme... as is user inertia. Office 365 has made the problem worse as well, even if you have something like OnlyOffice that does a good job of compatibility with Office, it can't sync with OneDrive.
If you collaborate with non-technical people, they will expect you to work in Office formats, and won't even entertain discussion of any alternative.
As far as animal consciousness is concerned, the consensus now seems to be that many animals have some kind of consciousness, including non-mammals such as birds. e.g. http://fcmconference.org/img/CambridgeDeclarationOnConsciousness.pdf
Maybe I don't understand Substack that well, but it seems like its market share would be extremely vulnerable. It's just a way to provide a newsletter (also published on the web) and accept subscriptions (and presumably they take a cut). It's really easy for someone to set this up themselves even with minimal tech skills. If they already have a following on Substack, they just tell their subscribers to move, and potentially could even import the subscriber list to a new platform. It's not like social media where there's a lot of boosting or whatever from others on the platform, so the switching costs are high.
So unless I'm missing something, I hope people who don't want Nazis around just move somewhere else. Because from the sounds of this article, they're not really doing much about the Nazis.
It's all bullshit marketing hype until we actually see it. There's no reason to believe AI will advance better than linearly in the next 5-10 years.
He already bought NZ citizenship... Because we had a dumbass government at the time
And most of those headlines are spread by the tech companies... So we don't have much reason to trust them
The research suggests it will be quite hard to remove in practice. Probably needs to be tested more in the wild though.
And it doesn't have to be voluntary. But even if it is, the main AI companies may want to start doing it anyway. Training their models on ai generated text can lead to model collapse, so they will want a way to avoid that.
We've been used to having access to websites instantly, but you can't scale forever. Servers have a real impact on the environment. We're already using a significant proportion of the world's electricity on running servers.
OP is obviously very eco-concious.. Instead of using an LLM to generate crap (and burn half the Amazon while doing it) they just recycled
