Now the only thing they need is actively fighting and scheming between each other and then that will actually become an alliance thats worth the toilet paper it’s printed on.

Sure, that could be a consequence in the long run, but it would be pretty bad for our immediate situation.

Had the same thing yesterday afternoon. At some point is was gone and it’s not back today.

Hope, this doesn’t go anywhere. NATO is frail as it is.

It’s so sad and bizarre. All the nations just stand by like idiots, while this one bloodlusting madman butchers all around.

Fediverse FTW!

I like tab coding, writing small blocks of code that it thinks I need. Its On point almost all the time. This speeds me up.

My point is people aren’t expecting AGI. People have already tried them and understand what the general capabilities are. Businesses today even more. I don’t think exaggerating the capabilities is such an overarching issue, that anyone could call the whole thing a scam.

Do they though? No one I talked to, not my coworkers that use it for work, not my friends, not my 72 year old mother think they are sentient.

I don’t understand why this is so important, marketing is all about exaggerating, why expect something different here.

I don’t think anyone is so stupid to believe current ai can solve everything.

And honestly, I didn’t see any marketing material that would claim that.

Those are two different things.

1. they are craming ai everywhere because nobody wants to miss the boat and because it plays well in the stock market.

2. the people claiming it’s awesome and that they are doing I don’t know what with it, replacing people are mostly influencers and a few deluded people.

Ai can help people in many different roles today, so it makes sense to use it. Even in roles that is not particularly useful, it makes sense to prepare for when it is.

I think in many cases people intentionally or unintentionally disregard the time component here. Ai is in development. I think what is being marketed here, just like in the stock market, is a piece of the future. I don’t expect the models I use to be perfect and not make mistakes, so I use them accordingly. They are useful for what I use them for and I wouldn’t use them for chess. I don’t expect that laundry detergent to be just as perfect in the commercial either.

I don’t think ai is being marketed as awesome at everything. It’s got obvious flaws. Right now its not good for stuff like chess, probably not even tic tac toe. It’s a language model, its hard for it to calculate the playing field. But ai is in development, it might not need much to start playing chess.

…or a simple counter to count the r in strawberry. Because that’s more difficult than one might think and they are starting to do this now.

Let me guess: Russia should bomb Ukraine, because USA does it in other places.

You are so pathetic.

I don’t care for comparisons, but the comparison to 9/11 is not really accurate.

This is a war between neighbouring countries, one of which calls itself a super power, yet has not only completely failed to achieve it’s goals, it has depleted itself doing it. It has practically destroyed all it’s weapons, which were before the war thought of as limitless, it has reduced it’s gas pump economy to ashes, it has destroyed it’s status and already lost it’s sphere of influence in Syria and elsewhere and … wings wheel above in silent loops… If you know what I mean.

NATO is of course needed beyond Russia, stupid question. Plus Russia still has nukes, which would be safer if Russian state somehow survives this war.

What I’m saying is no propaganda, just a very very sober assessment of the current situation.

Russia has lost immediately when it was clear, that it cannot take Ukraine. It’s perceived status as a super power went down the drain and nobody is taking it seriously anymore. It cannot project power, it cannot hold a sphere of influence.

Although, first confirmations…

It’s not only what they did, but how they did it.

First of all the loss of this aircraft is substantial. They don’t have many more of these aircraft and likely not all are operational at every time, especially now when it’s hard to get parts. And these planes are full of western parts.

And another thing, is not like Russia can throw everything at Ukraine, it’s got other borders to watch.

The second part is how they did it. They snuck into Russia with weapons and carried an embarrassing blow against a country that is basically fighting this war to keep its status as a super power. And this country that they don’t even consider as a country did this to them from the inside. Thats just weak and it’s there for everyone to see. This is shouting for everyone to hear: Russia is no super power, it’s no power at all.

Funny. I’m thinking some people made a lot of money.

On the other hand, I think Lemmy folks would be pleased, that an ai company didn’t harm the environment 😀
