  • The Anti-AI Data Center Rebellion Keeps Growing Bigger - Public support for AI infrastructure has fallen sharply across party lines

    Jump

  • It's not like Altman and Amodei telling everyone how AI is perennially 6 months away from taking everyone's job is helping create that warm and fuzzy feeling for the technology either

  • Kash Patel claims AI has stopped school shootings: ‘I’m using it everywhere’

  • I was personally shot once and the AI wearable I always have next to my heart stopped the bullet! Thanks AI!

  • U.S President administration cites national security in stalling 165 wind farms | Onshore wind development in the United States is being brought to a standstill.

    Jump

  • Because we have to import most of our wind from China? I mean, where does wind come from, really?

  • no, but you see... all the apps are going to be vibe-coded on the fly every time you want to open one! Want to browse lemmy? "The user wants to browse a website, let's build a browser....." [a few days later] "you reached your token limit, do you want to move to the Pro $1500 per month subscription and continue building your browser?"

  • Trump news at a glance: six in 10 Americans say president is doing a bad job

    Jump

  • Nothing, and I'm sorry if my remarks may have sounded offensive to people in the US. It's just weird from a European perspective, where an approval between 30 and 40% would make most of our governments very happy.

    A while back, I've read an article on the Obama-Keyes race for the Illinois senate race, saying that 25-ish% is the lowest approval rate you can ever get in the US based on the fact that Keyes (who lost in a landslide but still got about 25% of the votes against Obama) was:

    a. black (so racism wasn't a factor)

    b. not from Illinois (so that wasn't a factor either)

    c. by all accounts, very unlikable and a complete lunatic

    Sorry the piece I was referring to was much deeper but I can't find it again, now.... If they are right, this IS basically already rock bottom for Trump in terms of approval.

  • Why AI companies want you to be afraid of them

    Jump

  • they want to create urgency and FOMO. That way:

    1. investors throw all their money to the new incredibly fast-growing shiny tech before they can stop and think to trivial things like how much it costs or whether it's actually doing useful things

    2. AI companies can continuously flood the zone with announcements of incredible new feats of intelligence by their LLMs. By the time studies come out, showing that these feats were not so impressive after all, they have released two newer, more powerful models, capable of even more impressive (real or invented) feats.

    3. AI companies can try positioning themselves as the "good, ethical guys" that you have to root for (and give all your money to), because the alternative is for the bad, unethical guys to create this AGI with no guardrails that will destroy the world. It's "we can't stop because if we stop someone else will do it"

    4. this kind of pressure works for governments too. We can't let China/the US/Iran/Russia (pick your specific adversary) control this potentially destructive technology first!

    5. things that scare us, regular humans, make the rich and powerful salivate. We are scared of losing our jobs, they are happy to cut people costs (see... well, just about everyone in Tech). We are scared AI can create a surveillance state, they want to sell surveillance tech to companies and governments (see Palantir). "This tech makes regular people afraid" is music to the ears of the 0.1%.

  • still.... there would be 2 to 3 people out of ten looking at the wannabe Nobel Peace Prize guy waging wars, at the "jobs are coming back to America" guy sending unemployment rates up, at the "we'll end inflation" guy causing $5 gas prices.... should I go on? But still 3/10 people are looking at all this and think "eh, we're doing fine!"

  • Verified by Spotify: New No AI badge— it appears for creators with steady listener activity, clean platform records, and real-world proof like live shows or merch drops

    Jump

  • The two things are not in contradiction. Identifying human-generated content is essential to AI too. if you feed AI slop back to AI, their output deteriorates quickly. Not saying that it's the primary purpose of this new feature, but this is making it easier for AI to find human-generated music to train on.

  • reminds me of this old building I used to talk to. Used to listen and give me good advice. I still remember when I told it I was doing drugs again.... Man, it got so upset.... Came down on me like a ton of bricks!

  • "just call Jenny! Jenny! Come on! I call Jenny every day, you just called her yesterday!"

    " that's not how we do things, Retro_unlimited...."

    (sigh) "you are an expert phone assistant, you will use your contacts tool to look up Jenny. J-e-n-n-y. Then you will use your phone tool to dial her number. DO NOT talk to Jenny. You are FORBIDDEN to try and sell her a $2000/month ChatGPT Elite Pro plus subscription again. Just dial and let me do the talking."

  • Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

  • I think that some appliances have a dark soul and just hate their owners. A lot of time I will take something back to a shop because it just won't turn on, open, rotate, heat up or whatever they are supposed to do. The person at the shop tries the cursed thing once and just like that it works perfectly and I feel like an idiot. Then, back home, it will work for a couple of times and then stop again.

    And it happens also with myself in the role of the "fixer". A colleague will show me an app that does not work, a laptop that won't boot or a printer they can't connect to and it all works if I try it.

  • Mythos? Nah, too busy working for the Government and high-profile customers. The Claude Desktop app was done by a couple of new AI models that are interning at Anthropic, hoping one day to work on the cooler stuff.

  • Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat seeking his 13th term in Congress, dies at age 80

    Jump

  • I don't know. As I get older I am developing opinions. A lot of them. On everything! What sauce is best with cheeseburgers. How short should my neighbours' lawn be. Should banks be open on sundays.

    By 80, if I'm still kicking, I'll be ready to discuss any boring topic for hours before a vote. Anything.

  • Well, I have regular sleepovers with my wife and I can tell you that at least once a month there is some exploring

  • MAGA lawmaker proposes MAMDANI law to deport any citizen who ‘advocates for socialism and communism’

    Jump

  • Two people trying to outMAGA each other would be a good SNL sketch if it wasn't real. It's like these people are trying to replicate only the crassest, most disgusting parts of Trump's personality without the... the.... ok, no, that's a pretty good impression.
