I got sick over Christmas and have spent some hours watching podcasts with Ilya Sutskever talking about artificial superintelligence (ASI). Unlike the rest of Silicon Valley who seem only to focus on GenAI/LLMs and talk about AGI/ASI to milk funding from venture capitalists who want to replace all workers with robot slaves and/or scare politicians into thinking we're in some kind of arm's race with China and get defense funding, this nigga actually seems to genuinely believe in it.BUT his visions for the future are genuinely scary: He visions "continent-sized AIs" where modern nations are basically gone/replaced by some unified, globohomo super state that ensures "value-alignment" and transhumans that "become part of the AI in order to control it".My question is: If he (and people working with him at SSI) genuinely believe in that, why the fuck do they want that? I mean, I get Sam Altman and the other hype makers that just want money, I'm talking about the Silicon Valley people that seem to genuinely believe we are on the path to superintelligent AI.I don't want to hear about Roko's basilisk, that meme is silly.

>>107709386>why do they want it at all?Nobody wants it. Certainly not the people who dedicate their entire being to gaining power over everything else. That's your common sense pill for today. Every """AI""" narrative is a red herring to distract from the ML panopticon.
>>107709631Ilya explicitly sets the timeframe to 5-20 years, but even if it was 100, why would humanity linking together and becoming slaves to some superintelligent AI hivemind be a desirable outcome?

>>107708706i've never watched a bluray disc. not because i'm too young, i remember reading news about bluray a couple years before it came out, including the pre-bluray professional format that came in caddies. but by the time bluray was old enough to be affordable, and people had HD TV's to take advantage of it, streaming was starting to take off, and internet speeds were getting faster, and hdd's were getting much bigger.point being that while dvd's were the way to watch and store movies, the same didn't happen for blurays. i can only speak for myself and as a pirate, but while i rented and borrowed lots of dvd's and had 100-disc spindles worth of burned dvd's, by the time i moved to HD stuff, i was exclusively just downloading rips. i was excited for 25/50GB discs before they came out, but by the time i could afford them hdd's were so much bigger that i just didn't bother.i think this is the case for a lot of people, they just moved from dvd straight to streaming/internet downloading, so there wasn't as much effort put into bluray support over dvd support. that and dvd protection is just weaker, once dvd's css was broken it was over for dvd, while bluray's encryption is more complicated. perhaps someone with an affliction for physical media has a solution for you, but these days i just use a nas

it may be a skill issue but opus 4.1 is so much better than 4.5 it's not even funnyit's not obvious from single chats but 4.5 easily falls into stereotypes and says the same things across 50 cards, while 4.1 is a whole lot more varied

>>107709628It was released on the Meta API in April, but I bet it was trained about at the same time as Llama 3.3 70B; who knows why they didn't release a smaller model back then. So it's probably a year old, at this point.

I switched from W10 because they messed up window snapping there. A few months later they updated W11 and somehow broke window snapping there too.

>>107704686Extremely convoluted plan to bring back the Ustaše.
Why are these things still made and used? Most phones don't include a slot for them, and they're the only device small (if modern phones can even be called that) enough to justify using them over a full size card. I know the Switch and Steam Deck use them, but those are also big enough that they surely could've made them with full-size cards in mind
Wait. Modern phones don't have slots anymore? Why not?
>>107709508Local storage is what keeps a burglar from disabling all your security cameras just by having a cheap cell jammer from Aliexpress in his pocket.
>>107709604So they can charge you way more for a 1 TB model, and so you'll buy more than you need because you know you won't be able to simply jam a cheap SD card in it when you run low on storage.

>>107686219The surrender of art and culture to "the left" and "trannies" is why the right can do little but whine about "culture wars" and "the propaganda you're shoving down my throat isn't good enough"

>>107706828Honestly I've just been using Trillium. The two look pretty similar, but Obsidian seems to have a bit more features behind it.
>>107709532My plan is to bridge a Raspberry Pi directly to my gaming PC via Ethernet, establishing it as a resident SSH host. This allows me to keep a headless Linux distro of the month or what have you permanently active—a dedicated TUI environment just one terminal window away, effectively giving the Linux system a Windows host for its "head". Thus I can make each pi a science tool I plug in!My programmer pi 3 always plugged in. My audio pi, video pi, music pi in a cabinet somewhere.
>>107707125>file sync is nontrivialSyncthing works
>>107706828i mean. its better than all the other noteapps + its markdown. i always used it when studying because it lets me create convenient indexes for everything and i can chain them together so i never have to *look* for notes. the application itself though is bloated electron garbage, which is why i dont really use it in my free time. still vastly superior to the alternatives
were they a stroke of genius or a mistake? and how come no-one ever tried implementing rational numbers in hardware?

Even XFCE is dead to me because it has wayland support. I will never support anything wayland based on linux.I'm X11 pilled.
>>107708922My impression is that X11 is old and stable while Wayland is new, and still in development.Either way neither gave me too much issues, and if I couldn't find a solution to something on wayland I likely wasn't able to on X11 either.
>>107709416they'll fix bugs and improve performance. they won't "fix" any of the fundemental problems with wayland or KDE, however
>>107709572given steams Integration with games and whatnot, real global shortcuts that work in all cases without caveat seem like a thing they would want. its the only thing left that keeps me away.
>>107708922>everything just werks>except waydroidanon, X11 is missing a major feature that Wayland has
>>107709697idk what that is or what it does
