Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’
  • Thanks for easing my mind a little. You definetly did in perspective to labor.

    You also reminded me I already had my first encounter with a callcenter AI by telekom and it was just as useless as the human equivalent, they seem to get similar training!

    I just hope it won't hinder or replace interhuman connection on a larger scale cause in this sphere mediocrity might be enough and we are already lacking there.

    The albeit small but present virtual girlfriend culture in Japan really shocked me and I feel we are not far away from things like AI-droid wives for example.

  • I'm so happy I don't give a fuck about looking cool or having nice effects in a game.

    The only one I ever spend more bucks than I had to is Path of Exile. And the supporter packs give you your whole worth of money spend as premium currency plus you get the usual skins, emotes and tracking tools.

    I totally feel that I'm okay with buying functional stuff like inventory space if the system itself feels fair.

    In 10 years and around 5000h (only game I play except tarkov for a while) in I spend 122€ so a mount for 90 bucks seems crazy.

    Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’
  • I admit I understand nothing about ai and haven't used it in any way nor do I plan to. It feels wrong for me and I believe it might fuck us harder than social media ever could.

    But the pictures it creates, the stories and conversations don't seem like hot air. And I guess, compared to the internet we are at the stage where the modem is still singing the songs of its people. There is more to come.

    I heard it can code at a level where entry positions might be in danger to be swapped for ai. It detects cancer visually, recognizes people by the way they walk in China. Also I fear that vulnerable persons might fall for those conversation bots in a world where there is less and less personal contact.

    Gotta admit I'm a little afraid it will make most of us useless in the future.

    Israel May Kill Every Palestinian Left in North Gaza, UN Official Warns
  • It was not ours to decide after the war but its an interesting thought. I'd like to see the outcome of that alternative timeline.

    Many of the administrative positions were still filled with former Nazis. Most germans in denial of what happened. Also the winning powers seemed far more interested in the spoils of war compared to a just but self-limiting gesture of goodwill.

    Sketchy ground for such huge undertaking that would have made german willingness and acceptance paramount.

    Also the first thing that comes to my mind is that this decision would jave encaged the victims with the perpetrators. Tough deal to sell to the world.

    Israel May Kill Every Palestinian Left in North Gaza, UN Official Warns
  • Most probably suspect it's genocide and know they, by not speaking out, at least support it passively. But it just doesn't matter for their immediate or the near future, so nothing will happen. Thoughts and prayers...

    I see two main culprits that enable Israel to eradicate the Palestinian people and their livelihood in manner and speed we see now. The US and germany. Many other western political elites seem far more divided on the topic but probably fear the backlash of speaking out.

    70% of the weapons come from the US and they will never stop to supply their FOB. Democrats or republicans will veto everything and make it as hard as possible to even reach a clear global verdict on what happened and how to classify it.

    Most of the remaining 30% come from germany.

    Here the key argument is that Israel is worthy of unwavering support due to the historical fact of the holocaust and the inhumane acts inflicted on the Jewish population.

    Scholz said recently that the security of Israel is a National interest of germany. As a german I feel this too, although for me the state of Israel and the global jewish population we did unspeakable crimes to are not necessarily the same. There are lines that can be crossed that limit my willingness of support. It's not unconditional and they crossed them. Israel crossed them, not the jews.

    I also feel past and present crimes the jewish people had to endure can be used to understand why Israel is acting the way it does but it can't be a justification of their barbaric way of waging this war against Hamas.

    In short, nothing will change. Sorry for the long reply, this shit really grinds my gears.

  • And I want to try those fishy crunch-sticks now! Thank you for the idea!

    I actually now a place where I caught goujons a lot. They "ruined" the whole day of fishing because it was the only thing we could catch.

    It's time to give that spot another visit and bring my camping-stove.

  • Gobio gobio thrives on gravel or sandy ground so it shouldn't have a muddy taste. I like those types of bottom-dwellers the most.

    Occasionally ate whitebait and while it was no problem with fry, mine were herring I believe, I was hesitant about chewing on the skull and spine of a fingerling over 50mm.

    Do they still Crack on bite or is it more comparable to the chewy texture of fry?

  • Der Krieg begann mit der Annektion der Krim Februar 2014.

    Falls dir Wikipedia reicht wurde dir auch der Beweis bereits in den Links zur Verfügung gestellt.

    Russland kauft im September 2015 Drohnen bei IAI ,wirkt für mich recht eindeutig. Israel ist nicht gerade für seine Hemmungen bekannt was das Verdienen an Konflikten angeht.

    Genauso wie Spionagesoftware zur Ausspähung der Bevölkerung verkauft wird. Geld stinkt wohl nicht, die verkaufen Pegasus an jeden.

    Turns out Altman is a lab-leak covid truther, calls virus 'synthetic' according to Spectator piece on AI risk.
  • But would the world Powers have said something if it was an escaped virus out of the Chinese Lab in Wuhan?

    I don't think it's a coincidence that the wet market is 20 mins from a lab working on bats and viruses.

    You have a global Pandemic, but also a big part of the population wants revenge because the Chinese can't keep their lab viruses contained and killed grandma with covid, quite a spicy meatball there.

    Prerequisite to naturalization in Germany? Pledge support for Israel’s right to exist
  • There were large pro Palestine and pro peace/ceasefire marches in germany.

    Afterwards they were smeared either by pointing out that marches were organized by or with pro-hamas entities within the country.

    This is indeed concerning but fails to acknowledge the various reasons people have to attend these demonstrations.

    I think this approach was effective in silencing most individuals that are pro-Palestine or anti-zionist but don't want to be connected to Hamas.

    Israel drops leaflets warning people to flee southern Gaza towns
  • It's a waiting game. They will probably displace the Palestinians into the Egyptian desert step by step. Make a new Ghetto there.

    A time will come when they can't hide behind the US, because it's involved in another conflict or internally occupied, and Israel is surrounded by enemies, now even more than before.

    You reap what you sow, just give it time.

    Israelische Berichte: Armee findet Waffen im Al-Schifa-Krankenhaus
  • Nur gibt's bisher keine Beweise.

    Israel hat eine Kommandozentrale mit gigantischen Tunnelnetzwerken in Aussicht gestellt. Ein zwar kriegsrechtlich problematisches Ziel was aber ein derart wichtiger Knotenpunkt für die Hamas gewesen sein soll dass ein Angriff gerechtfertigt und strategisch wichtig sei.

    Die paar Aks sagen nunmal nichts, die kann auch ein propaganda Team der Israelis dort verstecken. Da muss mehr kommen um zu legitimieren, das einzig funktionierende Krankenhaus und Fluchtpunkt außer Kraft zu setzen.

    There should never be unconditional support for anything, good for him to have realized this. May germany follow!
