How can anyone see what is happening in Ukraine and not realize the future is not just 1 starlink, but also a Chinese one and a Europe at a minimum. Probably many other countries w…

Do you understand the scale of Chernobyl if they had failed to stop the meltdown? Half of eastern europe would be uninhabitable. It would've killed 100s of millions.

Chernobyl was almost the largest disaster in all of history. I'm not saying nuclear reactors are unsafe now, but the reality is that a true disaster at a nuclear power plant litera…

You're acting like you can't just switch which llm you are using in around an hour. I mean...use opus/fable when you can, if down the road your access gets cut then just switch to …

How though...there is no reasonable way anyone could look at the oil futures price and think it isn't being manipulated, which suggests maybe a lot of the market is equally fake. A…

Projection always "works". If someone drives a car into a lake the car wasn't the problem.

It is about force projection though. Ok, you have a bunch of drones in the US, now how do you use them to attack Iran or in the pacific theatre? Yes, aircraft carriers aren't nearl…

Literally all of those happened within the past 5 years. DLsite had been operating for a long time taking credit cards before that happened. It is actually a relatively new thing, …

I think the pressure is just coming from behind the scenes. The religious right knows many of their views are unpopular so they don't act in the open. They find underhanded ways to…

There is no duty to record everything everyone does. No one is legally compelled to record their actions except for a few rare situations...

You can't buy an iphone with this functionality, and many people are locked into that walled garden for a lot of different reasons.

No, it's just obvious that there is a massive race going with trillions of dollars on the line. No one is going to reveal the details of how they are making these AIs. Any public i…

Deepseek and Mistral are both considerably behind Opus, and you could not make deepseek or mistral if I gave you a big gpu cluster. You have the weights but you have no idea how th…

Yes. I also don't think it is realistic to pretend you understand how frontier LLMs operate because you understand the basic principles of how the simple LLMs worked that weren't v…

Even very young children with very simple thought processes, almost no language capability, little long term planning, and minimal ability to form long-term memory actively deceive…

Are you ever concerned about the consequences of what you are making? No one really knows how this will play out and the odds of this leading to disaster are significant. I just do…

The only thing seriously reducing trust in elections is anti-democratic politicians who will ALWAYS find a convenient reason to claim the election is rigged, and many of their foll…

You're really comparing scaling up manufacturing of a 70 year old tank to building modern weaponry? That is beyond ridiculous.

idk, If I was in control of a country in the EU I would realize, unfortunately for pretty much everyone on the planet, that we have made a drastic miscalculation by relying on the …

It is a real problem that AI's will basically confirm that most inquiries are true. Just by asking a leading question often results in the AI confirming it is true or stretching re…

You really can't though, not if the games have an online component or you want the game to be patched/updated as frequently as it would be on steam. Almost all games these days are…

Of course you are. Either party can adjust a contract on renewal, just like a lease. Also you aren't agreeing to pay to renew the contract. It isn't a rent payment in a structured …

I agree it sucks, but I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to do it.

But you are paying to restart the subscription every month/year. They can't change it then?
