I’m 90% certain that none of the resources being “bought” by AI actually have been sold, or created yet.

Indeed. The prices skyrocketed because vendors realised they couldn’t get replacement supply in the future. What existed today was all they were going to get.

I’m expecting a glut of supply once those contracts fall through.

Speaking of the auto industry: Is AI a mirage, like the dreams of a working rotary engine?

It is, but I think it’s a different type of mirage. The rotary engine does work, but it brings with it significant downsides. Getting the positives without the negatives is the mirage being chased.

AI appears to do one thing, but actually does another. People see it “creating” new things, but it’s more like it shreds work up and then glues the pieces together making sure it looks consistent. Train it on one work and it can reproduce that work. Train it on two and it will mash the two. Train it on a billion and it will mash the billion. Nothing creative,. No extrapolation. Just interpolation.

People want the AI promise regardless of the downsides. It just doesn’t exist.

Head of a bunch of MI5 reprobates.

Convenience as in “it’s what I’ve always used and I understand it” or are you noticing some awkward aspects?

Great story.

It’s the sort of thing that I would hope could become community maintained once the authors have made some money off it.

That said, as the tires of electric vehicles tend to wear faster due to their heavier weight…

This gets repeated again and again, but hasn’t been my personal experience. I’d say my tyres are easily lasting twice as long than my previous diesel car.

That’s too late.

Once they do it, they won’t reverse their path. They have to know they’re losing people now, before they commit. You can always start again after they change their mind.

So those are associated with Motorola Solutions now, or did the debt move to Lenovo?

Thats true but ID companies are not lobbying or making changes on a scale that matters. This change isnt going through because an id company lobbied the government.

This statement is what I’m disagreeing with. It just wrong.

These changes are going through because Palantir lobbied the government, or more specifically Peter Thiel. They have 34ish contracts with the government right now across MoD and NHS. One of the ID verification companies (Persona) is also his. This information drives the technologies he sells to the MoD for tracking individuals. Technology currently being used by ICE and in Gaza.

You’re right, it’s not about discord. It’s about making databases of all living people on earth and how they interact with each other.

There’s a number of MPs that have grave concerns about this relationship as well. https://youtu.be/cvDF7Z18Anc

Yes. It’s got immense influence in government policy.

I think I found Discord much more confusing than matrix, personally.

That said. Discord no longer exists for me. Account deleted today. Nothing of value was lost.

…because right wing parties will hate all the surveillance systems their opponents put in place when they take over.

Mumble

Legitimacy?

That changes if people like you start using it.

Kinda like Lemmy.

Palantir

No, quite the opposite. Models are largely a mass of random looking numbers that can’t be compressed losslessly.

Hp is doing laptop rental for non-commercial customers only.

When you reset “secure boot settings” did you clear the TPM contents? Would that have included a. private key used in the disc encryption? Then when you regenerated keys it will have been with a different seed and so different.

I don’t know much about his stuff, but that bit sounded odd to me.

Just a future looking statement.

Once you get more familiar with the terminal…

• You will want several of them, each set up to do different things.
• You will want more than a 3 line letterbox to see command output.

I know you’re not there yet, but don’t let the fact that you’ve adopted a particular setup limit you in the future.

Reminder, this includes “Morning Glory Milking Farm” and similar books.

I’m sure that will destroy any intelligence.
