Capitalism is a denial-of-service attack on human potential
@Daojoan nearly a decade ago I got dubbed the “deep dive guy”, and I didn’t say it out loud but I was thinking … so the rest of you just don’t know what you’re doing?
@dauphin1 @colin_mcmillen there are a lot of reasons, none of which have anything to do with opposing automation. It’s more about making automations that are usable, intelligible, maintainable, efficient, and so on, along with limiting resource consumption of development to the use of a single computer, and maintaining at least the possibility of respecting the rights of programmers as workers. Doing the opposite of any of those things is harmful; LLMs do the opposite of all of them
@tao while some adaptation of mathematics standards for communication and publishing to enable software tooling to work with proofs and examples does seem overdue, the currently hyped “AI” tools are extremely poorly suited for use in mathematics. Large Language Models strictly model language, not the meaningful content of any linguistic data; any apparent mathematical insight in their output is like finding meaning in an automated collage. Purpose-built tools are needed
@edwinb hmmm. Now I want to see an intro programming course using an in-house language, and a later course which makes breaking changes to the language every semester
@ireneista @kirakira a few distros have already excluded California and other jurisdictions with similar requirements from their license. I guess we’ll see if that ever makes it to court, but while I can imagine California could punish a user I don’t see how they could go after the OS publisher
@JamesDBartlett3 @alice those are spam, and should be reported as such. Any system that doesn’t validate email addresses before adding them to a list will be used maliciously in attempts to overwhelm target email addresses by signing them up for every vulnerable mailer.
Also, the more complaints that buyers get as a result of buying data from brokers, the less the data is worth. I wouldn’t worry about a made up address I use once happening to be real
@ZLabe more and more concerned about a mass death event when a summer heat wave triggers a power grid failure
@lindsey @bool @Twisol (IIRC, if time is quantized, the quanta are no larger than the Planck Time, and it’s not expected to be possible to directly test for quantization at smaller scales. Some theories, including variants of String Theory, hypothesize quantized time, but AFAIK no methods for experimentally testing any of those theories have yet been devised)
@dirkhh @GossiTheDog unfortunately there’s no need to rename the company again, they can just start referring to their “AI” products as “metacognition”
