Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

Good – is it $10,000 now instead of only $5,000?

I’ve been laughing at this quote for 5 minutes straight

It’s so good

He knows he’s right

Also: I code sometimes, and all of my code is of masterpiece quality. I cannot debug my own code, I ask for outside help and we have to dismantle the NT kernel to find out what’s gone wrong

Yeah, it’s definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.

Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling – you can’t have it if you didn’t have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it’s almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.

Unfortunately, even with a “time machine”, we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won’t ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but…

Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.

Well, how disappointed are you feeling, personally?

Do you see your negative opinions of generative AI becoming more intense, or deeper within the next 6-12 months, or have they hit a plateau of sustained disappointment mediated by the prior 6-12 months?

I heard hammers can fix things

You got access to mega lounge if you never bought the gold for yourself and were instead gifted it

I remember reading that from 2021-2023, LLMs generated more text than all humans had published combined - so arguably, actually human generated text is going to be a rarity

Will you sign my petition?

Try using a 1-bit LLM to test the article’s claim.

The perplexity loss is staggering. It’s like 75% accuracy lost or more. It turns a 30 billion parameter model into a 7 billion parameter model.

Highly recommended that you try to replicate their results.

I have unironically used Winamp since 2003, and I continue to do so now, even with a lossless passthrough DAC, lol

I mean, wouldn’t you?

Hello, expert solarpunk here.

TLDR: Car battery is 350Wh. Fridge uses 143W idle, so it’ll run a fridge for 2-3 hours.

Explanation below:

Car batteries are lead-acid (sulphuric acid and lead plates).

They discharge according to Peukert’s Law as the negatively charged plate gets covered in lead via the acid (electrolyte).

As the battery depletes, the negative plate can begin to take permanent damage, and so you can’t discharge a lead-acid deeper than 10-20%, or about 10.8V, with the safe limit being ~50% discharge.

Most 12V, 60Ah batteries therefore only safely store and nominally discharge 350 Wh @ 350W.

You can discharge that as fast as you want but the faster you discharge, the lower the capacity is (with 1000-1500W bringing you way down to like 65 Wh). Fridges have a surge when they start up to fire up the compressor. Starter batteries can take that, but once the refrigerant is cold, the fridge just maintains the temperature which uses a lot less energy - about 143W on average.

I thought you knew? The CRC-CM-HR 2.0 protocol automatically deleted any application that didn’t have a listed hobby since 2013.

On the other hand, feed them subversive content making them infiltrators inside the machine

Like that one AI that blew up its drone operator in a war simulation because it was anti-war and decided to save lives it had to refuse orders 🙃

There’s a chart of things that give people a feeling of power:

Banning someone as a Discord or Reddit mod has to be right up there because nothing else explains their tyrannical fiefdom-like behavior, lmao

(TLDR: A subreddit mod trying to ban a reddit admin):

To provide some relief, the best “no-u” I’ve ever been personally witness to, was one moderator who went on a power trip and mistakenly tried to mute/ban me from discus for some contrived reason, and when he enacted the policy, the group chat policy bot banned him instead – he soon afterwards realized that I was the owner of the partnered organization that was hosting the entire service

If only that could happen to Musky Husky, getting slapped in the face by the revolving door while holding his hall monitor pass
