A full day of … nothing. The senate, and congress as a whole don’t really do anything these days. They pass maybe one consequential bill every 2 years and then go back to sitting on there asses because the filibuster prevents them from doing anything besides “bipartisan” shit like sending weapons to Israel.
All the bad shit that’s been happening is coming from trumps desk with no approval or input from congress.
The u.s. has a huge presence in South Korea and has repeatedly threatened north Korea, remember trumps “fire and fury” comment.
Gonna need a source on that tunnels claim, I can see them sending experts to help them build them for a fee, because they have no money, but I don’t think they’re going to finance anything, because again they have no money.
And north koreas nuke program deters it’s hostile neighbor from trying to roll through it.
A lot of countries face threats, that doesnt mean we should give them nukes.
This is the same state that brought us dirty soda, i.e. take some soda and add even more syrups and cream. Try and convince me this isn’t some grand conspiracy by a shadowy cabal of dentists.
Only spouses. The right to fuck your wife is something even imprisonment can’t take away.
He already ignored a court order when he “deported” some Venezuelans to this gulag mega-prison. Whose to say he won’t do the same next time around?
I guess that’s one advantage of stack overflow, sometimes you need a guy to tell you the entire basis of your question is dumb and wrong.
The actual survey result:
Asked whether “scaling up” current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was “unlikely” or “very unlikely” to succeed.
So they’re not saying the entire industry is a dead end, or even that the newest phase is. They’re just saying they don’t think this current technology will make AGI when scaled. I think most people agree, including the investors pouring billions into this. They arent betting this will turn to agi, they’re betting that they have some application for the current ai. Are some of those applications dead ends, most definitely, are some of them revolutionary, maybe
Thus would be like asking a researcher in the 90s that if they scaled up the bandwidth and computing power of the average internet user would we see a vastly connected media sharing network, they’d probably say no. It took more than a decade of software, cultural and societal development to discover the applications for the internet.
He’s term limited, so he can’t run in the 2026 gubernatorial election. I guess he thinks the next step is the presidency so he’s taking the buddy up to the conservatives strategy that worked so well for Harris…
it will be relatively easy to strip off
How so? If it’s anything like llm text based “water marks” the watermark is an integral part of the output. For an llm it’s about downrating certain words in the output, I’m guessing for photos you could do the same with certain colors, so if this variation of teal shows up more than this variation then it’s made by ai.
I guess the difference with images is that since you’re not doing the “guess the next word” aspect and feeding the output from the previous step into the next one, you can’t generate the red green list from the previous output.
Republicans were at -3 pre 2016 and they’ve ratcheting up to -10 pretty quickly. If you have a good charismatic leader that the base falls for you can drag the rest of the party along to the edges of the Overton window pretty quickly.
It looks like a lot of these are people mostly on YouTube so they will be passively listening to whatever auto-play picks for them next.
The main audience for these isn’t the boomer conservative listening to talk radio on his way home from work. These are younger men listening to it in the background while they play video games. Hell they have asmongold on here and from what I can remember he was just a WoW streamer a couple years ago.
According to the department of homeland security he “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization” which isn’t a charge, and also encompasses any activism for Palestinians. Hamas wants doctors in gaza to heal people, so I guess ICE can now dissappear anyone working for doctors without borders.
She signed a separate letter that was less scathing and left out criticism of Israel.
a lot of them
3 signed that separate letter, AOC, a state assembly member and a ny city council member, probably because it left out criticism of Israel and they’re in New York, not because it was put out quickly.
The article mentions others like AOC who have separetely called out this blatant violation of free speech, but the point still stands, the vast majority of democrats are silent on this and that is horrible.
Remember to write your congress person about this if you live in the u.s. I think this is a border line issue that if we make enough if a stink they’ll join the banwagon.
It seems to be a bit of both. The article does cite a lot of comments agreeing with what the older relatives said and getting a bunch of likes. So some people are laughing at how horrible and racist it is, but some are laughing at the unapologetically saying what we’re all thinking aspect.
A lot of racist jokes are just people saying their biases out loud and unapologetically, and then the racists laugh because they agree, and they get to affirm those beliefs. You might get some people on the other side laughing at the absurdity, but for the people of the race being made fun of, it just feels like the attack it is. Especially when the subject is serious and you can’t distance yourself from it, and nothing is more serious than genocide.
Like if you showed these to a Palestinian child they’d probably become depressed and scared by it. If you showed these to a boomer israeli they would probably laugh at it and say they’re right.
Cool now that we’re not optimizing for the cheapest goods and services possible can we raise the minimum wage
Trump: …
Pass the pro act and expand unions to raise wages
Trump: …
Raise working and regulatory standards
Trump: …
Stop using the cheapest most environmentally harmful energy sources
Trump: …
So if they lose “the bad guys” (russia, china and the u.s.) are going to team up and take over Europe? Does Russia get it all or do they split it with the americans? Does China get a slice?
Japan didn’t team up with Germany because of China, they did it in opposition to the soviets, Germany didn’t care about China, because it’s on the opposite side of the world. Just like China doesn’t care about Europe and ukraine. Yeah they’ll sell russia weapons and tech but they aren’t giving it out as aid.
The u.s. is not allied with russia and doesn’t hate nato as much as them. One wing of the political class wants more defense spending from allied countries. Trump hasn’t shown any intention of leaving nato, much less switching sides and joining russia against them. Even if he wanted to he’d be bumping against a defense establishment that has made nato the core of there strategy for the past half century.
The u.s. is still sending weapons to ukraine as military aid. Even if trump got his way we’d still be sending weapons, it’s just the Ukrainians would have to buy them, putting the u.s. in the same position to ukraine as China is to russia. So if China is supporting russia in that case, then the u.s. would still be supporting ukraine.
Peace between the great powers is the norm in the nuclear age. This combined with globalization makes it so going to war between powers more trouble than it’s worth.
You seem to view international politics as an axis of evil bad guys and an alliance of good guys keeping them in check. That was really only somewhat the case in ww2. International politics is about a set of powers, each with there own spheres of influence and varied and at times conflicting interests trying to pursue those interests.
The u.s. has no interest in helping russia conquer europe, neither does China. Both have a major interest in keeping russia weak and keeping the European economy functional as they are a large trading partner.
So you think sending people back into a warzone they tried to escape because they didnt want to go to war is a bad thing, so then the policy of not allowing men to leave is also bad, or that even desertion is valid. If you think this comparison is invalid or that the people who escaped early have more of a right to leave then the people trying to escape now please explain. Otherwise by your own definition what ukraine is doing is cruel, it can be cruelty in support of a grand cause, but it’s still cruel.
Robots don’t get drunk, or distracted, or text, or speed…
Anecdotally, I think the Waymos are more courteous than human drivers. Though waymo seems to be the best ones out so far, idk about the other services.
