I kinda see liberals as generally fitting into two categories.
One is straight up horrible people who just want to maintain a decent image. (This includes like 99% of the politicians)
Two is generally well meaning people who just aren't that politically savvy, and they hear scary stories about the "far right" and "radical left" so they figure "somewhere in the middle" must be the sweet spot.
This doesn't add up though. Fortnite's player base is only about 10% PC, and the system requirements are pretty modest. It'll even run on Intel integrated graphics, according to the minimum requirements from Epic.
There's even a modest chunk (~6%) on Nintendo switch, which, according to Nintendo, draws about 7 watts when playing a game in TV mode.
I've just installed Mint as well. I am, perhaps, slightly more nerdy, but I'm also short on time to tinker with things, so it's really nice to have a super simple setup process, with stuff like Spotify and discord just a click away. Now I just need to settle on a solution for graphic design/illustration software.
I agree with the "panic, not bubble" assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don't think there's actually anyone who's going to be "the next google".
The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there's a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.
But I don't believe that's where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They're smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.
I'm not immersed in this, so maybe I'm missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they're talking about, the the whole "AI" craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.
There's a Not Just Bikes video that actually explains this phenomenon. Technically he doesn't talk about crashing into CVS, but in Canada we crash into shoppers drug mart, which is basically the same.
This is the subheading on the article (emphasis added):
Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.
So why let drivers off the hook? You seem to care about safety, but then support enforcement that disproportionately affects those who are doing less harm? There's no logic, it's just vibes.
Culturally, we accept drivers causing a significant amount of death and destruction, but get so mad about anyone else. It's not rational.
I would hazard a guess that they're using google analytics to collect this data, and google is creepy and knows everything. Maybe they got you to tell them your age at some point, or they can use the vast amount of other data they have to estimate it with probably-super-creepy accuracy.
Dooooo it
