It doesn’t anymore… It crashed like 5x today, and that’s not including the times where it froze for 5+ minutes and recovered

=3

Because companies don’t do R&D anymore, they fund startups and aquire them when they’re ripe

Being able to replace workers with AI is a holy Grail for capitalism, and so a ton of companies have poured their saved up “R&D funds” in order to get in early

I think they’re too big to bail out at this point

Also, no one wants US bonds right now, so we couldn’t borrow our way out of it even if we wanted to. We’d just have to print like a trillion or more dollars all at once

That’s kinda how therapy works. It’s 90% getting you talking, and 10% offering compensation strategies they’ve heard before

This is the fucker who put us on the worst timeline! Get their ass!

And the humans move around them, guiding parts into place with mechanical assistance and doing the finer details, because it’s really fucking hard to fully automate the process

Right… Conquer the stars…hides new global warming plan to do nothing about it behind back

Whenever someone says they turned out fine, I don’t believe them

It’s a very cope thing to say

Yeah, that’s what I want them to do. I want them to install docker, run some commands, correctly identify their graphics card and driver, and get the networking right. Then I want them to pick the model they want and download it

It’s not about making it hard, it’s about having a level of understanding about how this all works. If you’re using AI, I shouldn’t have to explain to you that it can’t search the Internet unless you manually give it that ability. I shouldn’t have to explain that the LLM is just a file, not some magical Internet djinn

Not to mention the horrifying intrusion on our rights by limiting what we can host.

Umm… You don’t have the right to host anything you want. You can’t host CSAM, copyrighted things, and you have to comply with tons of laws if you want user content

I agree with all that

But what I’m saying is you need a human-scale robot good at moving human scale work pieces to their correct place. These will range in size from something like a screw to something like a human sized sheet

What shape does this better than a humanoid one?

You could specially design a bunch of arms that will remove a workpiece from one station to deliver to the next, but do you have any idea how hard that becomes? You have to design each one to do that specific job, and you’re going to end up with a bunch of unique robots that all need to be maintained, and probably need their own backups in case they break

Everything we make is already human centric, it just does make sense to build humanoid robots. You can have one fleet that handles all of it, they’re interchangable generalists. Ideally, they can even do maintenance

Yes, it’s less efficient. Yes, specialist designs would be better at their job. But it is really, really hard to do full automation, and this is a shortcut to get there

Which one? There were three series, and only sg-1 had a real conclusion

Both Atlantis and universe were meant to keep going, they just got cancelled because of production costs

Because the automated tools are human scale

Even if you rework them all to be fully automatic, you still need a human scale robot to move the work pieces from station to station

I kind of think we should make it illegal to run LLMs as a service available to the public. They’re still cool behind the scenes, but it seems to only go bad when unprepared people talk to them

You should at least understand them well enough to set them up yourself or have someone do it for you. At least that will demystify it a bit

Building registers and such helps. It’s very achievable… You can physically build memory or a nand gate on a breadboard

I don’t know how I’d jump the gap from minerals to transistors, but I know how they’re arranged

He really wasn’t. He had been out of the writing process for multiple seasons, they had him recording off site

The cracks have been showing for years now, I won’t deny he has an energy to his voice acting, but the replacements are fine. The problem is the writing

No, humans can’t, scholars can. Most humans could learn historical materialism to the level they could pass a course on it, but the vast majority can’t apply this type of analytical lens in practice.

It’s a matter of disposition, the ability to look at a situation from multiple angles and question your beliefs about it isn’t something that can be taught, only learned. You can walk someone through it step by step over and over, even train them to go through a process when prompted, but without a certain disposition they’ll never actually use this ability without promoting

Ironically, that would probably end up with a different season of slop

The writers haven’t been subtle, though the episodes they’ve been directly saying they don’t know what people want from them and they keep getting told to be more like season 1

Well, we got something like season 1. The characters undid their character development and the episodes are aimless riffs off of classic sci-fi and cosmic horror

I think I’d just get the writing staff off of social media and pay them to hang out in a comfy room until they have an idea they’re excited about again

Because that’s not how people think. Not anyone.

You can study history, and if you do it right you’ll see how stupid and individually directed most things are. It’s all conspiracies, that’s how the world has worked for millennia

One realization doesn’t free your mind and make you a scholar… That’s just not how humans work

Yeah, honestly I think it’s a little dumb, but they seemed to be having fun with it. It’s not even like it’s that hard to read, they put way more effort into it than it takes to read it

We need to be way more ok with people getting a little weird with it
