  • This meme implies that AI data centers have been around for a long time. They have not.

    This response implies that you actually understand the point being made. You don’t. If you think this is only about AI datacenters, I have to assume you’re letting the AI ‘think’ for you. Otherwise, that says a lot about you, and none of it is positive.

    AI have been running in datacenters for over a decade, it didn’t just spring up overnight while the companies are building datacenters that cost billions in hardware that will be replaced in less than 5-10 years. They might as well be setting the cash on fire, it would harm the planet less than the result of pissing away billions of dollars on datacenters that may be bankrupt in under a decade when the AI companies start actually charging for cost and hardware that will need replaced before then.


  • intelligence /ĭn-tĕl′ə-jəns/
    noun

    The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.

    Much like you, AI is incapable of understanding anything, they just regurgitate what they hear.

    AI aren’t intelligent, they’re stochastic parrots that can process words as math to generate a facsimile of intelligence to make the ignorant think it’s smart.





  • Joe isn’t some evil mastermind he’s just a meathead with a microphone. All those people chose to listen to him of their own free will.

    Don’t remove Joe’s either. He’s in a situation of his own making.

    He chose to be a dumbass meathead who promoted every dumbass grifter that came by and gave him some money to his dumb as shit gullible audience. He cultivated the intellectually incurious as his core audience, then proceeded to shove far right propagandists in their face.

    We all knew this would happen, and he was more than happy to support these people until it started having real negative effects. I hope Joe enjoys the products of his career. Namely, being associated with bringing trump to power. I hope he never gets to live it down







  • but I doubt they would be broadcasting the headline unless they thought they had a way to make the math, math.

    Bro, Elmo runs SpaceX and Tesla has been talking for over a decade about how FSD is right around the corner, and it’s still pretty much trash.

    Don’t assume these chuds have actually thought shit through just because they are making publicity around it. Silicon Valley is notorious for lying about capabilities to get investor money, and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had a dollar for every full of shit promise I’ve heard out of these dipshits I could pay for healthcare…



  • To me, the very goal of interoperability is not to force you into creating multiple accounts. Big Monopolies have managed to convince people that they need one account on each platform. This was done, on purpose, for purely unethical reasons in order to keep users captive

    Goddamn, what a shit take.the big monopolies are trying to get you to sign up to each service using their accounts as the authentication IdP for other platforms. Having a central account to funnel data back to the mother ship is exactly why a lot of us DON’T want a single account. Hell, I have multiple Lemmy accounts for segregating what content I see.

    Not sure I care any more about this dudetake when his base premise is so far off line.



  • Agreed. I finally got around to setting up a system in a mostly isolated subnet to play with agentic coding recently, and I was reasonably surprised at how not awful the result was. Still won’t trust the fuck to spit out anything without supervision.

    All I wanted was to make a debug version of a FOSS app I use because the official app is lacking basic features. It took a few attempts, but it solved my issues and spat out an answer that was the minimum viable patch (after instructing it to do so and not edit a dozen unnecessary files) that looks reasonable. I never got into android apps, but I understand the syntax well enough to know it didn’t do anything horribly out of pocket.
