Games writers maybe. There haven’t been 1200 games journalists operating at the same time ever. There were a lot of people at a lot of sites simply regurgitating news, but that is definitely not what a journalist is. They are extremely different disciplines.

I’ve had it fail to load a lot of stuff today. Something’s definitely up.

DB0 has a rather famous record of banning users who do not agree with AI. See [email protected] or others for many threads complaining about it.

You have no way of knowing what the scale would be as it’s all a thought experiment, however, so let’s play at that. if you see AI as a nearly universal good and want to encourage people to use it, why not incorporate it into things? Why not foist it into the state OS or whatever?

Buuuuut… keep in mind that in previous Communist regimes (even if you disagree that they were “real” Communists), what the state says will apply. If the state is actively pro-AI, then by default, you are using it. Are you too good to use what your brothers and sisters have said is good and will definitely 100% save labour? Are you wasteful, Comrade? Why do you hate your country?

I’ll answer. Because some people see these systems as “good” regardless of political affiliation and want them furthered and see any cost as worth it. If an anarchist / communist sees these systems in a positive light, then they will absolutely try and use them at scale. These people absolutely exist and you could find many examples of them on Lemmy. Try DB0.

Hi. I’m in charge of an IT firm that is been contracted to carry out one of these data centers somewhat unwillingly in our city. We are currently in the groundbreaking phase but I am looking at papers and power requirements. You are absolutely wrong on the power requirements unless you mean per query on a light load on an easy plan, but these will be handling millions if not billions of queries per day. Keeping in mind that a single user query can also be dozens, hundreds, or thousands of separate queries… Generating a single image is dramatically more than you are stating.

Edit: I don’t think your statement addresses the amount of water it requires as well. There are serious concerns that our massive water reservoir and lake near where I live will not even be close to enough.

Edit 2: Also, we were told to spec for at least 10x growth within the next 5 years which, unless there are massive gains in efficiency, I don’t think there are any places on the planet capable of meeting the needs of, even if the models become substantially more efficient.

Nah, they were never independent. They were owned by CBS prior to that, and before that they were owned by Red Ventures, and originally Whiskey Media.

Not always! Giant Bomb going independent recently is one example.

… It’s just mostly bad.

Quite the opposite in fact!

God damn… just now while I was watching YouTube killed the playlist and then the whole account! WTF?

Ohhhh, THERE’S the boner I was looking for! Thanks bro.

Mostly acid reflux, I fear.

Yeah, it’s a pretty dumb slang.

You know some people say they have an automatic reaction to the word “moist”? I have that with the slang above.

Ooh, would you happen to know whereabouts? I can’t seem to locate it. Sorry…

Sure! So, for example, our current weekly topic and this new topic by a user have been downvoted by user named @[email protected]. Looking around, there’s a few others within they’ve downvoted as well with no upvotes anywhere. Checking the modlog shows they’ve been banned from other communities for vote manipulation as well (among other things). They don’t need to be able to do this.

Checking older posts, I see that someone named @[email protected] had gone in and downvoted dozens of things with no upvotes. Nearly every topic we had at the time, in fact (or at least as many as I looked at). This is not only against community rules, but it’s a pretty shit thing to do.

We’ve also got old blank accounts like @[email protected] and @[email protected] with zero posts or anything of any kind downvoting. They’re not contributing anything anywhere, so they don’t need to be there at all.

That’s just a few examples, but there’s more.

WOW. Community mods can now see votes and I can now verify things I’ve been suspecting for a long time. There’s a ton of non-posting users going into the community and downvoting every topic in it.

Does anyone know how we can ban someone from a community for vote manipulation if they’ve never posted there?

The part that doesn’t make sense is how a guess on a QC in a binary is any better than a scientist just guessing an outcome from a binary. Yeah, it can do it a lot, but if you can’t test the outcome to verify if it’s correct or not, how is it better than any other way of guessing outcomes?

Statistically, it absolutely isn’t. Even if it continually narrows things down via guesses, it’s still no more valuable than any other guesses. Because in all the whitepapers I’ve seen, it’s not calculating anything because it can’t. It’s simply assuming that one option is correct.

In the real world, it’s not a calculation and it doesn’t assist in… anything really. It’s no better than a random number generator assigning those numbers to a result. I don’t get the utility other than potentially breaking numerical cryptography.

So that’s the part that gets me stuck. There is no clear answer and it has no way to check the result as QC aren’t capable of doing so (otherwise they wouldn’t be using QC since they can only be based on binary inputs and binary guesses of true / false outcomes on a massive scale). How can it decide that it is “correct” and that the task is completed?

Computations based on guesses of true / false can only be so accurate with no way to check the result in the moment.
