Comparing the dotcom bubble to the AI bubble is like comparing a corn kernel to a corn cob at this point.

The US economy was more spread out and varied back then, and the bubble wasn’t over a third of the entire economy.

And you know, the internet actually had market value and was producing profit immediately at least. AI still has yet to turn any profits.

It’s funny because that means something like freaking Neurosama made by a YouTuber could probably do better at AGI than these multi billion dollar companies due to it being designed so it can modify it’s own code depending on the task given (and at one point, doing so while not directly prompted).

Of course, this makes Neurosama completely useless at work focused tasks outside of coding, because it can and does refuse to do things on purpose.

And that’s exactly why you won’t see AGI coming from any huge business corporation - because they’re trying to make something that replaces workers, rather than something that has no direct purpose.

(Disclaimer - this is not to say Neurosama is AGI in any way, just that it could probably do the tasks much better than the mainstream AIs can, because it has been build with flexibility and adaptability in mind.)

I think this might fail for the same reason VPN companies began wildly profiting recently.

Porn.

Just have a few organizations say “Want everyone at Amazon/Microslop to know your fetishes and what porn you search for? Buy (thin client offered) now!”

Sure. Let them be sued on profits made 😂

I think they wouldn’t know what to do with a horse. If it’s AI powered it’ll probably ignored. If it’s hand programmed I doubt the programmers considered horse or horse like beings

I feel like this is the exact argument made against playing violent video games, especially having lived through the 90s.

I’d rather see if there’s any actual data supporting the assessment.

I bet these would be fooled by you dressing as a bear. Or a horse.

If they say it’s being used to train AI, and then refer to the Facebook case, should work out for them.

I have donated and even used it. On said old phones, it works decently well.

The issue is the hardware support, since most people won’t want a near decade old phone who’s battery you probably need to replace but can’t do so easily.

Feels like they need to rally behind a more modern phone and polish that to get people to actually try it rather than fractured development. The Fairphone 4, which they already have a stable release on, would be a good candidate.

Ah well, I’ll still keep up my donations anyway. Just feels like they could have more focused leadership, similar to the Linux Kernel.

I also recommend (if you’re in Europe) petitioning government bodies to help fund them as well.

The problem with PostmarketOS is that it only is stable on extremely old phones that sometimes aren’t even midrange.

No, what’s messed up education in Finland is that it’s much, much harder now to fail and hold back a student. The semi-equivalent of the USA’s No Child Left Behind policy.

Schools here in Finland still use plenty of books, and at least they still teach how to use computers, like typing lessons, unlike the USA.

Here in Masala they even started teaching classes about detecting AI use, it’s usage in propaganda, and privacy on the internet plus usage of AdBlockers in elementary school. My wife gave the lessons - though she changed it up on the second one after seeing that kids don’t really care about this stuff much unless framed differently, like “you can watch YouTube without ads” rather than “it’s your legal right to not have ads as children” and “Linux has many many free games” for example.

Why not just expand on Libreboot instead?

EMP would be better

Or new consumer HBM modules

Aurich is just the forum mod and graphics designer, not owner.

I’m betting it’s definitely Ben since he is pretty pro-AI

I see rocket chat is used by the US Army and Air Force.

Not sure how secure that is.

And Mattermost is used by the US Air Force and Space Force, so same issue
