I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • What makes LLMs interesting to investors is not so much their usefulness, but the fact that the technology goes very well with the "just believe in me" approach.

  • Why stop at work? What if they completely replace humans? I mean why wouldn't they, in the long run? Our doom is inevitable.

  • "The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy."

    Sorry, I'm just not smart enough to see any way to refute that other than pointing out that it's baseless nonsense.

  • Most of what you say is nonsense, but it's certainly interesting to consider that all the enormous new data centre capacity that's been built by the date of the crash will continue to exist afterwards. I wonder what we'll do with it all.

  • YSK that americans and europeans don't have the same psychology.

  • Your attempt to stir up controversy is too stupid to be effective.

  • How accepting is Lemmy to non-American, non-European and non-Canadian culture and content?

    Jump

  • There's a French community or two hanging in there, and I sometimes see German or Greek. Surprisingly little Russian or Japanese compared to the rest of what I see of fedi, but I don't think it's got anything to do with people being "accepting" of other languages or cultures — it's just a matter of people who want to use them reaching some kind of critical mass.

  • Elon Musk’s Grokipedia cites Stormfront — a neo-Nazi forum — dozens of times, study finds

    Jump

  • Hey Grok, why is Elon Musk so popular?

    "Elon's intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale."

  • Linus Tech Tips “disappointed” Steam Machine won’t be priced like a console - Dexerto

  • What do you mean "people who don't want a normal prebuilt"? That's exactly what they're going to be selling — a normal prebuilt from a vendor people trust with the economy of scale to sell it for a competitive price. It's got an unusual form factor and some fancy hardware, but functionally that's what it is.

  • I'm sure there's still a good American newspaper out there somewhere, but I don't know what it is. All the familiar big ones seem to have fallen.

    Are you aware that the current day, conservative, and liberal, are not liberals or conservatives, but something completely different?

    Jump

  • "Conservative" seems to have changed its meaning at least twice in my lifetime, but I guess the essential "the people currently in power should continue to rule the world as they please" idea remains constant even when their rhetoric superficially seems to contradict it.

    What’s your favorite hair length for yourself?

    Jump

  • No. 2, which the Internet tells me is 6.4 mm. It then grows longer, but a fresh haircut is the only time I think about it and it feels great.

  • Nespresso pods.

  • Distance from eye to reflective surface unspecified. Capacity to blink twice in the time taken for light to traverse that distance in the relevant frame of reference is unknown.

  • How do you count on your fingers? How high can you count?

    Jump

  • "It doesn't teach the basic number facts, only to count faster," says someone as quoted prominently on wikipedia.

    I suppose it can be fast, but the main use I've got out of it over the years is to count automatically using only my fingers while my brain is busy doing other things.

  • YongYea; Execs Stupidly Claim Steam Has A Monopoly And Get Mocked...

    Jump

  • Yes, that is the type of monopoly they have. It's one that would probably not attract the attention of anti-trust regulators. If you're not coming from the free software world I guess it looks like that's the only way things can be.

    30 years ago somebody told me their opinion about "Changes" but I didn't know what Changes was. I just remembered to look it up, and according to Wikipedia it could've been any of about 50 things.
