yeah it’s not like they’re hiding it

I mean we’ve seen how prices for Chinese solar and EVs dropped once production ramped up, I expect we’ll see the same with memory and eventually chips too.

can’t blame you

Turns out if you start with basically nothing and strings just fall out. Turns out that you don’t need to assume strings exist at all. Four simple rules, two from quantum mechanics and relativity that everyone already accepts, plus the idea that physics stays consistent at insane energies and that nature picks the simplest possible math then the equations spit out the exact scattering amplitudes string theorists predicted decades ago. The Veneziano amplitude, the Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude, and the whole tower of massive spinning particles all just appeared automatically. Strings end up naturally appearing as an emergent phenomena in this framework. It important to note that this is not experimental proof since the energy scales are still stupidly out of reach, but the bootstrap math says if you want a universe that makes sense under these bare minimum rules then string theory is basically what you get.

It’s really frustrating to watch how people keep talking about how you just have to vote harder, when we can see a concrete example of how workers actually take power in Bolivia.

Basically, the actual problem is with the capitalist system of relations and how automation is inevitably applied by the capitalists to harm workers.

Same, AI haters really don’t realize just how far this tech has come in just the past year. I’ve had to work on frontend Js projects at work, and I’ve been lucky enough to avoid Js for most of my career. I have lots of experience programming, and I know how to structure applications, but I’m not familiar with Js stack, libraries, and syntax quirks. LLMs help me paper over all that and use it like any other language I’m already well versed in. Without LLMs, I would’ve had to spent literally months ramping up on Js ecosystem to do the work I’m doing now.

There are countless constructive and legitimate uses for AI/LLMs. This just another form of automation, and it works well for many tasks already. Other people in the thread have already given a ton of examples, so I don’t really have to reiterate them here. Meanwhile, practically all the criticisms of this tech actually boil down to problems with how it’s applied under capitalism.

Yup, and that’s probably going to happen in the coming months, after that there’s no way to stabilize the prices.

Exactly, it’s a self reinforcing process with more countries fleeing the currency as confidence collapses. And having a global reserve underpins the US fiscal policy, if the demand for the dollar drops dramatically then it’s almost certainly will lead to a domestic economic crash.

I think some are used to suppress price domestically as well.

Oh you can scan it, but as I recall they then force you to put your phone number in to finish the process.

That’s what google’s been using to lockout non official Android forks like GrapheneOS. You can click on the eye icon at the bottom to get the regular captcha though… for now.

Yeah, as I recall it was just codex repackaged, but there is also the aspect of the tooling itself that the model interacts with which they massively fumbled. People will still use codex on its own, but nobody wants to ever use copilot.

Not putting it into atmosphere is precisely how capture at the source works. Carbon is the input for the industrial process here. Every bit that isn’t captured is wasted.
