That is worrying.

If i was working on a finance or finance adjacent company i'd be very hesitant to use anything that might send data outside the company.

Socialism would be worker ownership.

This is simply state ownership of what's seen as a strategic business. It's an abandonment of market dogmatism, but not a step towards any of the many ideologies or positions where markets have a smaller role.

I think the phrase i heard before is State Capitalism. But i could be wrong

It is strange to me that people obsess on programming in-game with "red stone" etc. That said I am dayjob programmer so the last thing I want to do on my free time and is to program stuff.

I made a game that uses the Luanti "voxel" engine (MC-likes games of course, but also transposition of other genres), and even programming that is bit of a chore but that's the price to pay to play the game you want to play (there's much more to that than just programming/modding; game design is a rabbit hole).

But I think that it would be more rewarding for those who are curious about programming to start modding, especially in Luanti because it is relatively well documented and it's Lua. In a way, making it rain with the programmable particle spawner the engine provides is a loot box locked by an API, with hints on how to open it in the docs ;-)

Yeah i thought similar.

I like watching videos about these contraptions people build. Wouldn't dream of making on myself.

No. Originally we sketched out 9 hallmarks of aging, and it has since increased to twelve. We don’t have a full picture of immortality yet, let alone conquering it.

Even if we can't do it biologically i wonder how much we could extend it with artificial organs?

Most deaths seem to be cardiovascular, heart disease, stroke, then followed by cancer.

Less than 30% of the electorate voted labour. The problem is that the opposing party consistently ran as opposition but then executed on labour's policies instead so most people just didn't vote because they didn't see anyone running to vote for.

The electorate legitimately did not want these people or their policies, they effectively weren't given a choice. To call that democracy delegtimizes democratic elections.

Probably shoulda voted then

Scaling AI will require an exponential increase in compute and processing power,

A small quibble... I'd say that's true only if you accept as an axiom that current approaches to AI are "the" approach and reject the possibility of radical algorithmic advances that completely change the game. For my part, I have a strongly held belief that there is such an algorithmic advancement "out there" waiting to be discovered, that will enable AI at current "intelligence" levels, if not outright Strong AI / AGI, without the absurd demands on computational resources and energy. I can't prove that of course, but I take the existence of the human brain as an existence proof that some kind of machine can provide human level intelligence without needing gigawatts of power and massive datacenters filled with racks of GPU's.

Deepmind where experimenting with this https://github.com/google-deepmind/lab a few years ago.

Having AI agents learn to see, navigate and complete tasks in a 3d environment. I feel like it had more potential than LLMs to become an AGI (if that is possible).

They haven't touched it in a long time though. But Genie 3 makes me think they haven't completely dropped it.

I feel like the giant 100 mil /1 billion salaries could have been better spent just hiring a ton of math, computer science, data science graduates and just forming an an AI skunkworks out of them.

Also throw in a ton of graduates from other fields/sciences, arts, psychology, biology, law , finance, or whatever else you can imagine to help create data and red team their fields.

Hiring people with creative writing and musical skills to give it more samples of creative writing and song writing, summarization etc

And people that are good at teaching and breaking complex problems into easier to understand chunks for different age brackets.

Their userbase is big but it's not the same as ChatGTP's, they won't get the same tasks to learn from users that chatgpt does.

Probably. I hated memorization when I was a student too, because it was boring. But as soon as I did some teaching, my attitude changed to, "Just memorize it, it'll make your life so much easier." It's rough watching kids try to multiply when they don't have their times tables memorized, or translate a language when they haven't memorized the vocabulary words in the lesson so they have to look up each one.

It's a lot easier to memorize things when it's your job i find.

maybe they pay hits a reward centre in my brain.
