I feel for you, I’m 54 and I wouldn’t want to be 25 again.

Imagine being in the tech industry and going to work for Yahoo, it would be like working in a palliative care unit at a hospital.

“We’ve got a couple of products and we need you to keep them alive.”

Flexibility. If everything was a thick, rigid bone we would be far less agile.

Energy. I imagine maintaining bone density for thicker bones would require more food to be consumed.

Medical. Breaking bigger bones would be more traumatic and debilitating than breaking smaller bones.

Just because you and your friends don’t use it, doesn’t mean it isn’t being used. If 95% of AI is useless then why are hardware prices so high? The demand must’ve dropped off by now if all the hardware they bought to date is going unused, because why would they be buying more?

Companies are definitely using AI, and not just as chatbots. I use it everyday as a search tool, to manipulate data and perform other tasks which saves me time because I no longer have to do it manually.

Most mid-large sized companies have terabytes or even petabytes of data that their AI tools are reasoning over, which requires more than the processing power of your small local model running on a Mac Mini.

I don’t disagree with you that it is impacting other industries and consumers, but as long as customers have a use for it and are willing to pay, the AI industry will continue.

Many companies operate without making a profit, sometimes it’s because they aren’t making enough money and sometimes they invest it back into the business.

Regardless, SpaceX is about to go public with a valuation of $1.8 trillion, and they arent profitable.

The fact that the major players are still in business means someone thinks so.

They aren’t artificially creating this problem, they are inadvertently creating this problem.

AI companies need RAM and other compute components to feed the AI beast which drives up demand, and cost but reduces supply for everyone, including their Xbox and Surface divisions.

Given their enterprise divisions make vastly more money than their consumer divisions, nothing will change.

This is America, wouldn’t it be easier just to buy a gun? I get that 3D printers can make ghost guns that aren’t traceable but how many crimes have occurred where that is the murder weapon?

I don’t understand the need to back in at all? When modern cars have parking sensors and reversing cameras you shouldn’t need to, especially as it holds everyone up while you’re doing it.

This!

At the train station I see so many people backing into spots when they could’ve just driven through in others. Is it a lack of intelligence, or are people just on auto-pilot trying to get to work that they just don’t think there is an easier way?

All of those things are already being done by the wealthy, they don’t need AI for that.

Why is Elon representing the US and not Trump?

If all they are asking for is an age, just put in ‘69’ and be done with it.

Proving your age is a different story. I’m not holding up my driver’s license during an OS install.

Joined Lemmy and was randomly adding communities. Started getting random memes coming through and that’s when I found out what a “bussy” was.

There is a difference between “Nvidia isn’t selling cards to China” and “nobody in China has an Nvidia card”.

Plenty of stock would be going to China, just not directly.

So glad I live in hell.

There will be a senate inquiry when they get back to investigate the failure of the “SPAM in Space” mission objective.

Of course. I’m sure they are making use of plenty of bugs found in firewall software to access and monitor business traffic, but they can subpoena those logs at any time. It’s the private vpn clients where logs aren’t kept that they are most concerned about, hence why I was outlining the difference.

No, because there are different types of vpn connectivity.

A point to point vpn is what employees use to connect to the office. The intention is to encrypt the connection so a 3rd party can’t access ithe data going through it. The FBI/NSA won’t care about this type of vpn because your work knows who you are and logs all traffic generated by you which could be subpoenaed by the government.

Connecting to a vpn server in another country to then access the internet hides your original ip address, gets around geo-location blocks and the traffic is typically not logged by the vpn provider. This is the type of vpn governments don’t like.

Wow, I bet you’ve got that comment saved somewhere so you can copy/paste it at every opportunity.
