Tons. I think if people read my opinions on AI they likely see me as a luddite.

My concerns are not about whether it's useful. It's that if the 1% use it to replace most actual workers, the lack of input will make future models actually worse than current ones, and at the very least would stifle innovation.

I'm very concerned about models built on the IP (voluntarily given or not) of people, being used to replace those same people.

I'm very concerned with where we go as a society if we do go down the route of losing so many jobs.

I'm concerned about the race to get the best model, using so much energy and natural resources.

But do I think AI is and can be a very powerful tool, to enhance productivity? Without a doubt it can.

Well see, a lot of businesses are B2B. Now yes for sure ultimately their customer's customer's customer is going to be a normal person. So eventually the lack of custom and with it, revenue will hit them. But, here's the thing I've observed about large organisations (not just businesses). I liken their operation to be very similar to insects. That is, they don't really plan ahead, they're reactive purely to stimuli, and mainly just do "what the other orgs are doing" without thinking about the effect beyond the only horizons they can see. Month end, quarter end and year end. Anything after the end of their current financial year. They're not even thinking about right now.

So, the point is, this logic while completely correct will fall on deaf ears.

Yeah. Pretty sure back in the 90s, no one actively used GiB. Well, MiB (not the will Smith one) more likely back then.

You said it was 8mb of memory and people knew, it would be the nearest power of 2. You'd say 120mb hdd, and well, going to be honest a lot of people said it was "formatting losses". I don't think most people were aware they were being fleeced back then.

This was my thought too. 64GB is 64GB (powers of 2) when it comes to RAM unlike storage media. So if it shows as less, something is allocating it at or before boot.

Doesn't run on older hardware? It seems more and more like DLSS. Well done on catching up AMD. /s

Just testing the big red button is still working. Nothing to see here, no I mean literally nothing to see here!

That image crops out the best caps of all. The "Trump 2028" caps. What a world we live in.

It's probably from the era when everyone had a Facebook account. In the modern era, I am sure a Tik-tok (is that what all the kids are doing now?) video would suffice.

Oh I am sure there's a backup. I guess I'm interested in whether they're actually using it or not.

Maybe they can check people like me that deleted on their reddit posts and comments.. See if the AI can see all that "removed" content :P

There's also helgrind if you're doing multi-thread. Man that will slow things down a lot.

This is the way.
