"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So wake me up when all of this has been solved. (Note the tense.) All kinds of things "can be done safely". (Note both the tense and the mood.) The point is they're not being done safely. In theory LLMs don't have to be death spiral machines. In reality they all are.
The only thing not being done safely is mining.
The rest is and has been for decades.
Coal and oil powerplants emit far, far more radiation than a nuclear plant, that is on top of all the normal shit in smoke.
So in your world trains never derail, trucks never crash?
Here on planet Earth...
It happens, sure, but very rarely.
And with the nuclear containment cars, it doesn't really matter in terms of radiation, they are so over engineered that they don't break.
I like the world you live in. I recommend you avoid Earth.
I live in reality, not made-up-bullshit-land.
Look, it's fine if you dislike, but if you are going to argue against it, please argue with facts.
That's the name of your planet? Cool cool cool.
Unlike oil, that is SO SAFE that we never saw an environmental catastrophe caused by an oil tanker spilling its cargo...
Ooh! Whataboutism! Absolutely not an irrelevant injection here, not in the slightest!
