Wouldn't argue. I guess the difference is philosophical. Capitalism is designed to reach that end goal, the very nature of capital growth requires consolidation. Philosophically, b…

The other reply certainly supports this view

Not entirely sure what that has to do with what I was saying? Unless you're trying to provide an example of a lack of critical thinking? China is an excellent example, while they h…

Not sure we can really define China as a communist state, particularly nowadays. Their economy is essentially just state managed capitalism now, which is probably economically clos…

That is the natural end state of capitalism though? Capital begets more capital, eventually concentrating power as far as possible. Sure you get upstarts here and there, particular…

Regardless of your actual views on the systems, as a non-american it's absolutely insane that so many people are incapable of thinking of one positive of a socialist economic syste…

Financial markets are already diversifying away from dollar as the sole reserve currency. Think swiss francs are doing pretty good.

Sci-fi AI has always been characterised by learning on the fly, which these models do not do. I guess we've got pretty close to what sci fi has often called "VI", autonomous machin…

Is this open source? May be being blind but cannae find the source anywhere

Couldn't log in to the NHS app because of an update last week. The update? "Resolve login issues by improving forgotten password messaging" Hold up a whole queue in a pharmacy to c…

Did I say that? Regulate the companies that produce the products not the products themselves.

The difference is the user. Your average smart TV user doesn't know what a residential proxy is, hell who's installing/playing the games but children? Consumer regulation to protec…

Culturally east europe is hugely different from west europe. No expert, but you can certainly hold a lot to it from the soviet bloc and how industrialisation happened in a given co…

(this may have changed at some point recently i dont use youtube that much) oddly as well though, dislikes were still exposed through the API, so third party apps still had it

tbf i live in a city in the UK, so YMMV, but after exhausting personal contacts I find asking in the subreddit for that city has only produced stellar results so far

You've got a chicken and egg problem now though, how do you get the senior devs to grow the juniors if you cant hire any seniors?

This would be illegal in the EU + UK, and certainly doesn't work like that in the UK. Potentially LinkedIn only made that change based on jurisdiction so maybe you two live in diff…

This is even more than just android, I'm sure there are plenty of us using AOSP forks that do not have google services installed. I think the EU will overturn this with enough nois…

As someone who doesnt really see ads either, we are in the minority. The vast majority of people are bombarded with ads from their TVs, streaming platforms, and unadblocked browser…

Ignoring whether or not OpenAI can reach this, do we think a massive expansion of ad revenue is fruit of the poisonous tree for GPTs? Does anyone want to use a tool that is capable…

As a not American, its quite insane to see US politicians jump to the defence of people from another country that are also in breach of the geneva convention over its own citizens.…

Technology where the entire selling point is stochasticity should be expected to do anything (everything) eventually surely?

The classic US take on global peace, ask the Koreans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghans, etc, how they feel about the long peace? Moreover, pretty sure it was nuclear weapons, not plasti…

What do you guys do when the LLM hallucinates? Someone puts a claim in on the basis of what the LLM instructed and its false, are you still taking responsibility? Geniune question,…
