new york is trying to ban ai from being helpful

You're pretending AI isn't also a special interest group.
The NY Law would have zero impact on running a local model to do what you want it to do, it would only affect the big companies like OpenAI or Anthropic.
The general public is retarded and shouldn't have access to these tools anyhow, the only reason that's the case is because AI companies need mass adoption to keep the bubble from bursting.

>it would only affect the big companies like OpenAI or Anthropic
What makes you think they won't try and make some local models illegal because they don't comply with some "safety standards" since their training datasets contain knowledge from those really dangerous fields.
>>
Right, so regulatory laws are being pushed to protect the upper echelon from losing wealth in NYC but I doubt we'll see any regulation that prevents those on the lower rungs from having to compete with AI. I'm not surprised at all, I predicted last year that regulations would start to pop up to limit the average person's access to AI because it threatens to the white collar class more than any other.

>What? You want to teach yourself law and medicine from an AI that surpasses most lawyers and doctors just so you have knowledge when dealing with such professionals instead of being at their whim? Oh no, we can't have that."

When it was around, no one really cared about it. It had fewer compatibility issues than Vista, and the high hardware requirements that Microsoft set could finally be met by manufacturers. But did anyone lose their mind over its very tacky blue and green theme? No. And trying to run things from XP on it? Yeah, most of the time, that didn’t work either. Meanwhile, Apple reached its peak dominating against Microsoft during this period.

So why the sudden wave of nostalgia? Because Microsoft managed to make everything after it even worse. It’s like looking back fondly on your ugly and stupid ex wife because your new wife is a crackwhore. Normies do anything other than admitting Microsoft has always made things worse but stayed at the top for being too big to fail. And I can't accept this normiefaggotry being posted here on a daily basis either.

why did it take us so long to realize that having dark backgrounds on pages and apps is actually easier on the eyes than blinding white backgrounds?

Monitors used to be quaint, 90nit affairs on maximum brightness and now even OLED can hold 300+, with mini-LED being able to do 1,000nits full field sustained.

>>108309889
I have no idea, we kind of knew this from the get go, when computing was mostly just text and terminals the default was always white or colored text on an otherwise dark monitor. In-between then and more recent times now, things switched over for a while and the paradigm got inverted, where the background was white and the text was dark instead. I think this might've had something to do with computers being used more and more frequently for all kinds of document editing and a desire to see on the screen exactly what you'd get on the printed page, which would of course be white.

ITT: Technologies only a madman could come up with
>Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernating Mexican free-tailed bat with a small, timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats, which would then disperse and roost in eaves and attics in a 20–40-mile radius (32–64 km). The incendiaries, which were set on timers, would then ignite and start fires in inaccessible places in the largely wood and paper constructions of the Japanese cities that were the weapon's intended target. The United States Navy took control in August 1943, using the code name Project X-Ray.

The fact that smart people like you are so dismissive of those who are trying to learn, while also waiving the rest of the world off as an immediate loss is why were fucked.
Dont explain how
Just be a snarky faggot and call everybody stupid except for you.
Youre as much a part of this problem as the child raping goblins that passed this shit and you dont realize it.
How about be constructive and instruct people how to bypass this shit so we can combat it.

They are distributed but because of the way distributed computing works there can still be blips until proper fail-over happens. It's entirely possible that attack could have had a small/minor impact in the US at least until things fail-over properly.

You're right though, it's nowhere near as big of a problem as it's made out to be.

>>108307664
I read a lot of Indians had that issue, hard to say if it’s just regular levels of quality control failure or something in the operating environment causing it. No machine is immune to it though.

I certainly wouldn’t put it in and out of a backpack for a daily driver, it’s just a plastic frame and that flexes the mobo. It’s fairly heavy Better off with a business laptop or MacBook in that case.

Nah the Legion series have better cooling and build quality. If you are looking for the absolute cheapest "gaming laptop" sure. But I'm telling you right now, these things aren't built to do much more than sit on a desk.
