I’m sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.
This isn’t just caused by ‘AI’ datacenters. US on a strategic level, are trying to control the last ‘western’ tech supremacy to curb China’s rise, so it is they who have constructed this situation with select hardware ‘partners’.
All these corporations control/manipulate the hw market anyway, so easy to work with for the US regime.
We will likely have to wait a few years for China’s production to rise and meet our global needs.
OC, being propagandized local fools, they had to include unverified vilification of Russia and China + a focus on other societies than our own. Only a few very low figures from US/UK etc, despite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surveillance_capitalism
Jeebus, US/Western propaganda/mindset is thin and embarrassing !
Not many arguments. I can’t see why Gnu Guix is discarded for Nix (similar OS management)…
Hm, I tend to like weird small distros, but I don’t think “This command-line-only OS can help you learn the CLI.” is enough to recommend it. ALL distros have a terminal, and many many of them are similar to this distro.
“Peropesis is a special kind of Linux distribution.”
No, its not, and the reviewer that have ‘reviewed lots of distros’ didn’t even explain what boot system it uses. Is it a Debian variant or ? What does it do that any other distro with a terminal doesn’t do ? (Except not being persistent/installable) Why not just spin up a normal Debian server in lxc ?
There are many other suitable terminal distros out there…
Seem to me that peeps outside of the AI development sphere/interest are not aware of how quickly ‘flaws’ gets fixed. There are still people that don’t think AI will ever be useful - or intelligent - based on some ‘archaic’ performance from many months ago. Reality will hit hard I think.
Personally, I have never seen any development move faster than artificial intelligence, and whatever it can’t do ‘properly’ today, it can do tomorrow or the day after.
Current AI/Agentic status is the clawd family of frameworks + a sota model. However, they are really stupid architectures (Every 30 minutes, the llm is yanked back and presented with the original tasks in an md file - that’s it) and are WAY behind what we can do according to papers/newest development. Papers quickly trickles down to architectures tho, and the next family of agentic frameworks will strike as fast as the clawd phenomenon.
We are not far from general AI - not particularly from llms/transformers, but from the external cognitive ‘harness’ that are build all over. While the harness adds cognitive states to the architecture, many of the typical agentic features are being build into the model itself, so the the cognitive functionality of the harness, are being injected into the models, and the new harness fixes other ‘flaws’. We will see one clawd moment after another, faster and faster, getting better and better…
I hope peeps live in a society that takes care of each other, and don’t treat each other as lazy bums that “just wouldn’t work hard enough”. It’s going to be horrible to peeps in US and similar Capitalist ‘might is right’ societies. There is NO safety net for ‘failure’ there.
Back to article: It was bound to happen within a year or so.
It’s gonna be great. China is years ahead of western societies in any social technology !
The “Ball” we ‘dropped’ was just the soft-power technique of bullying everybody else - nations or humans alike - that didn’t want to be run/owned by Western Oligarchs, and then hide the fact to its citizens. Someone should have kicked that ball of the field long ago.
So we are all lucky that US dictatorship is getting clubbered by all its enemies, and that China+ is appearing as the future direction of humanity…
Every early part of the first llms have exploded and become the target for immense resources/development. This tree of techniques will continue to split and grow, and all ‘slop’/quality complaints and a swath of jobs will disappear quicker than new ones develops.
Commoners should indeed create an independent open and safe computing environment and even basic societal functions. Open communication, storage, development, food, housing where possible and everything else is possible now that this AI tool can work for us too. If we can think it, we can build it.
But I think we should aim higher than “support workers” as the highest goal this time. Let’s go for “no workers needed” and build a society around that principle. We can easily design and maintain a societal environment that optimizes for our common well-being and prosperity, but we need the current archaic and combative win/lose architecture to crash and burn, so another can emerge.
We have a short window to prepare/discover new institutions and processes for an open/safe society without Capitalist parasites in power…
“Writer denies it, but publisher pulls horror novel after multiple allegations of Typewriter use”
The violators create the Laws…
hehe, ‘internet’… Your thinking/action is certainly worth a bunch of up-votes, but “Norton” and “product keys” seem to kill any latent positivity in Humans - OR trigger auto-down-vote bots ;) Nice thought tho…
Best answer/link and cause…
No, not much, but a happy smiling selfie is seriously not a bad idea!
When we smile to our selves once a day in front of a mirror, we tend to mimic that emotion so we can manipulate our own mood in a deliberate feedback. (There are papers on it).
That is hard to habituate for some of us, so having a smiling selfie on your desktop will continuously nudge you towards …a happier mood than otherwise. …in theory at least ;-)
“Dutch intel” - who df are they ? They are a tiny vassal-state of US and just regurgitate all the nonsense propaganda that US invents/ask for. They are completely intertwined with their masters and get most ‘evidence’ from US. Rutte’s new job was a gift of ‘good work for the Empire’ from the US regime to their little loud-mouth colony (just like all the prior stooges being given high level positions in the US sphere of influence, for selling out their own populations for their own political status in the Empire). Soro’s open-society even send out a map of compliance percentages for these vassal nations. They are all tripping over them selves to comply with the ‘Empire of Lies’, and selling out their own nations/people while at it. Embarrassing.
Take a quick memory-lane trip at all the ridiculous claims EU vassal states have uttered about US ‘Enemies’… EU are still doing all the dirty work for their US masters - even after ‘officially’ appearing rebellious/angry…
“Economics” need a re-write too. They have elevated “profits” higher than “Truth-seeking”, and their field are swamped in non-scientific claims and processes that cause ‘Truth’ to become second fiddle to “profits”.
The profit motive compromises Scientific thinking/behavior on ALL levels of the Scientific system, is orthogonal to the truth incentive so only align/overlap in rare cases. Capitalism/free markets is a combative ideology - a belief-system - that generates a perpetual need for profits and kills good Science behavior.
This is what a society based on perpetual economic War, does for us.
“Might is Right” is the common denominator for western capitalist ideology, and ‘customers’ is the ‘Cattle’ layer of that economic hierarchy.
It won’t get any better…
“She has also connected Planck-scale physics with physics at scales that are easier to study” - Hm, I hoped she would list a lot of phenomenons that are recognizable for laymen all the way down.
If everything are emergent fractals from a core equation, then all fractals will be variations of the first (+neighbor fractals) and contain the same-ish mechanisms/phenomenons - just ‘mixed’ with prior fractals. In most fractal equations we get a pattern that repeat it-self over scales, and for instance the mandelbrot ‘bulb’ pops up at different scales, and certain shapes re-surface, so I would expect the same type of fractal patterns in the universe where phenomenons show a steady or ‘punctuated’ path all the way down. They are a little hard to see though - likely because of noise and compounded complex systems that contain many phenomenons at once.
Ignoring std consensus for a sec: I see ‘charge’/polarization all the way down, ‘pull’ forces like gravity/magnetism might be the same core equation and the same for all the other high-level phenomenons. Energy pr. volume space goes up when going down, phenomenons get ‘sharper’/more defined and simpler. All point - lightly - towards a fractal universe.
Maybe the proto-equation of the universe looks like x=x² + y (y=noise). Not far from E=mc² + noise.
Never tried, but what about nested vm’s ? It should be possible to have a normal secure vm, with a ‘compromised’ hp/vm running microslop running. In theory I guess…
