Thats exactly how I came to rebuild my PC. I hate the piece of shit, but I have to thank him for scaring me into building when I did because of the threat of tarrifs. My 64GB of ram was like $200 not the absolutely fucking disgustingly insane $1k or whatever it is now…
Why would “they” (the CEOs, tech bros, owners) be saying that?
They own the means of production. They seek to profit from it entirely. They fight tooth and nail to not be taxed for anything whatsoever. In what universe would they “give” us anything? If our current system demands 80 hours of work/week to afford to live a normal life then the world of AI will still demand that 80 hours of work/week, but now with new and improved Less Jobs!™©®
The future will not be a utopia. I’m thinking more cyberpunk with less technology. A lot of extremely poor people and a few megacorps.
I feel like this is one of those things that you look at and want to vomit, but then you try it and it’s actually pretty good. Then you vomit.
Cock socks cock socks cock socks!
I said it in front of a mirror and now I can’t get rid of this crusty ass gross ghost…
I’m an old man yelling at clouds but I don’t trust any of the password storing technologies. I have a system of making/writing passwords and a save a short form of them on my pc. Without knowing a specific segment you’d never be able to guess what they were so the segment is the only thing I need to remember. Having to access accounts when not at home is a massive pain in the ass though lol
Math is one of the main reasons I didn’t go for anything science related. I need to understand HOW something works in order to retain it. Every math class I ever had was always “when you see x36h638f then do the formula 362h+gsue6-8226g/h7383 because stone cold said so.” …like how the fuck am I supposed to not only memorize that completely abstract nonsense, but remember how/when to apply it?? My dumbass brain doesn’t work that way
I pretty much gave up on dating, “no one” seems to be able to find what they’re looking for and dating parasites apps have made the issue 1000000x worse… When your world of potential dates expands dramatically and they’re all a swipe away the dating pool becomes a buffet table and the perfect dish is just one more swipe away… And another swipe… And another swipe… Pass on all these people, the next will be the perfect one… And another swipe…
Own a home, be in a long term relationship, have a career worth a shit.
I’m turning 40, “uneducated” because I never “found myself” and had to support myself right out of highschool. Single for almost a decade. Working a dead end factory job. It’s not happening. :/
That’s how I feel about astronomy and science in general really…
That and I’m also really stupid so I could never be a scientist lol
…and thats how I learned how to bake…
Now I can’t keep snacks or flour in the house… Lol
It means you’re in for a shocking surprise! If it were inverted it would signify the shock sends you down a dangerous path… Head first.
Oh yeah? Well I’m cuter! Crappy, Unworthy, Timid, Extremely pathetic, Revolting!
I’m not sure 20 year old me would be very surprised. I ended up pretty much exactly where it would be expected of me: still single, living in a garage, working a dead end factory job. No possibility of ever owning a home and dwindling possibly for any kind of retirement.
They live on other countries’ money for a pretty long time now, and they want to continue the tradition. Therefore they always look to continue it, and call this their ‘national security’ - implying that they are always ready to use their armies to secure the future of this blood sucking practice.
This is the main factor. We’re a country ruled by rich parasites. They only care about extracting wealth from wherever they can and they freely use the military to do so. Just look at the recent news about Rubio and others in Trump’s cabinet already salivating over what parts of Cuba they’re going to take for themselves to further enrich themselves.
The US NEVER fights a moral war, a just war, or a war for humanitarian reasons, they lie about it and claim it’s to save others, but it is ALWAYS about personal enrichment.
But are you an Englishman in New York?
And it’s probably to those poor cows that wish they were being abducted.
Except for the US where just like covid the conservative contrarians will conspiracy theory and hatemonger their way into going full steam ahead with absolutely no oversight. Their stock valuations depend on it…
As far as the ethical concerns go for “local” models how do you feel about individuals using it for non-commercial use? A toy/hobby/assistant for their own home use? I personally have been enjoying “playing” with it, but I do agree in that I hate how they’ve come to obtain the training data. I hate the companies that create it and profit off of it, but personally I don’t feel too guilty using it as a toy/hobby if it’s a model that was released for free to be used on your own hardware.
