Yeah, my first thought was this isn’t news. This is literally reporting that someone is doing their job.

It sucks that the goal in capitalism is just more money. Unions are how labor gets stuff in capitalism. Even if they aren’t perfect, dont hate the player, hate the game.

I suppose what I mean is that he doesn’t just have a big red button on his desk labeled Iran that he can press when he chooses.

We’ve stood up a system over many years, and he’s just barrelled through every norm/law/etc. up to and including having his sentence reduced to 0 on felonies, simply because he’s a politician. If we cannot protect ourselves from this man launching a nuclear weapon, or even hold him responsible, then we don’t deserve to survive beyond our planet and the resulting catastrophic collapse of society may be the best thing for the universe overall.

Oh you’re lucky. My wife and I got the “jungle theme” room in a similar establishment in Massachusetts. Our neighbors loved the place. We could hear them loving it the whole night.

Yeah, I know, man. I keep hearing people talking about this guy that loves tacos getting mad because there were no tacos at a parade… or something like that? Or the people in the parade ate their tacos wrong? I don’t know. None of this stuff makes sense to me either.

I would have to think using nukes on a country that doesn’t have nuclear power would be a slam dunk illegal order. Like, I mean, if he says to do it, the guys that make that happen, top to bottom, should say, “No, this is an illegal order, and i am not going to follow it.”

If such an order is followed and nothing is forthcoming from some checking force in the federal government, I think i may have lost faith in humanity as a concept. This is the great filter. Can we be trusted as a species?

Thank you for stating it so plainly. Taking any action you can now is super important.

They’re trying to incrementally increase the outright fascist behavior slowly. No one day or action is much of a change from the previous action. It makes it easier for the average American to just go about their life. There’s never a “president tears up constitution” moment in the news, just another slightly shitter small thing. They wrote the playbook out in project 2025 so that they can keep ramping it up every day with a prescheduled list of steps to take and no time is wasted.

They have 4 years to try and prevent the next election, and they have a road map.

He was obstructing law enforcement by advocating foe the defendant in court. That’s what he’s accused of. Defending a criminal defendant. For helping the defendant get due process. That’s obstruction to a fascist and only a fascist. If they arrest you, that is a declaration of your guilt I their eyes.

Lemmy needs awards, man! Thanks for doing the legwork for me. Now I just need to resist the urge to spend the rest of my evening reading through all of that myself lol.

Having things be unprovable in a body of models would make it not a 100% correct body of models. You know it’d be… incomplete. That’s what it means, we’ve mathematically proven you cannot prove everything that is true.

NFLS is about whether a particular claim is testable, and can therefore productively be debated (as in I’m not debating whether there is a teapot orbiting earth). The way you’ve attempted to combine these two ideas is odd.

And by Godel’s Incompleteness theorems, that body of models can never be 100% correct.

This was my first thought, we aren’t going to develop the whole world. That’s not how this works. Who said that was a goal of… well … anyone’s?

That’s a rhetorical question. Frfr tho, does that remind me work on your instance only, or what’s the deal with that?

Yeah, I giggle when I people talk about rtfm like they’re tech gods.

Anything I need to know for my job - It’s in the source code.

I think where we may differ in opinion is where the power lies in this situation. To me, it’s all about having the money for the compute, which means its propaganda for the wealthy. That’s nothing new. I do not expect a significant increase in societal support for these types of messages. At least not on a historical scale.

You seem to imply the LLM can at the very least have an emergent agenda, or seeming agenda, of its own. I do not believe that to be the case. LLMs that generate output that doesn’t align with the monied interests will be considered misaligned and discarded.

You’re missing my point. An LLM can’t be “smarter” or “smart” at all. It isn’t sentient or conscious. It doesn’t even have a stable internal model of the world. What people call “hallucinations” are simply the random words selected at the edges of its convincing predictive power. Personification of LLMs is all marketing. They’re really just well presented statistical models.

Where are these AGI systems? All I hear about is LLMs fooling execs, which is basically them just falling for a fast talking computer.

I’m right there with you. My luck came a bit later in life, so I had 10 working years of income tax actually paid close to 0% as I made little and had huge student loan debt from an attempt to get a degree.

I finished the degree and 10 yrs into a well compensated career and I’ll gladly pay thousands to the government. The wealthy people that complain about paying their share have zero perspective. They’re basically spoiled brats.

I’ve also lived in a state with lower taxes, and now one with higher taxes. You get what you pay for. I hear people everywhere complain about the roads where they live. Not everyone has had to replace whole wheels due to the stuff that some places are calling roads. Again, zero perspective if you don’t get out and see the world at least a little.

It’ll be possible. Whether someone will take the time and cost on are another question altogether.

If you do, make sure you build in a note taking/comment feature so they can track how its changed from what you’ve documented.

They said make electric cars fast, and you’ll get car guys to buy in. It was true.

Now they’re making linux make video games faster and prettier…

I dont know if there will ever be a year of the linux desktop, but this is the kind of stuff you gotta do to get there.

That’s why they want to make education private, and kill public schools. Just like after the Hiatian slave rebellion, they know denying people education works.

Nothing new under the sun.
