While AI is indeed bad, this is also really old news (oldest article is 2023 and it's a story taken from a book about past experiences)

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

By your definition of 'really old news', then Covid lockdown must be prehistoric..

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

If only a novel disease outbreak had the same life cycle as internet based fads and evolving technology. Unfortunately covid remains relevant longer than yester-years llm/data models

A 3 year old thing should never be portrayed as a current challenge or issue.

This outrage cycle must stop. People should date their posts. Can't be mad at the same thing three times.

Can’t be mad at the same thing three times.

... You are so wrong on this part.

As emotional creatures, we can and do get angry at the same thing multiple times, at varying intervals throughout our lifetime.

Thanks for mansplaining that to me.

You’re welcome, sweetheart.

It is in terms of AI development.

[–] NiHaDuncan@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

AI is older than the internet; the third wave of AI we’re in right now started in the 90s with improvements in activation functions and is now at a head since hardware has caught up to needs.

I just love the image of 2 soldiers giggling as they cross the ground to the robot while hiding in a box

Remember: Walk without rhythm and we won't attract the worm. It will go to the thumper.

Hmm...just a box.

I’d like to learn how to somersault 300 metres like that dude floating

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

They teach you that one in boot camp. One day they bring you to the training rubber and teach you the combat roll. You roll, stand up, yell Marine Corps, do it again. You just roll and roll and roll. It's dizzying, you're covered in little bits of rubber. It feels pointless.

Until, one day you're getting your weekly head shaving. You've already gone, but Recruit Ahearn is coming out. You are instructed to run everywhere, so he's running, but missteps off the curb, and as he goes down, he peforms an absolutely flawless combat roll. Regardless, drill instructors come up and start losing it on him, unintelligible yelling followed by "aye sir" over and over, until eventually one DI says "What did you do wrong?" And Ahearn says "This recruit doesn't know, sir!" And the DI gets into his face, real close, real quiet, and says "You didn't yell Marine corps." And then proceeds to tell "Now do it again!" and makes Ahearn do combat roll after combat roll off the curb, yelling Marine Corps, until we were all done getting haircuts. All 63 of us.

I love how the two using the cardboard boxes went the Solid Snake route.

[–] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 14 points 4 days ago

Reminds me of what they had to do to travel universes in the movie Everywhere, Everything, All at Once.

We don't talk about the other three.

Finally, someone is doing this in a way that leads to a coherent arithmetic!

Hey... you're pretty good...

Peter Watts Called It.

Hopefully he's wrong about most of the other stuff.
