Dogs do love a good jog though. Give that good boi a bit of kibble and then see how he feels.

If you don’t have an hour to buy food, there’s something supremely fucked up about your priorities.

Honestly when they’re done, that manufacturing capacity will do great things for their economy.

How can you not have time to buy groceries? It’s not that big of a process.

I understand not having a car though. Some places are not very walkable.

Because it really doesn’t. For most tasks, it would require more human energy to do the work than an LLM, just because we are much slower at it than an AI. I mean, humans operate at around 80 W just by existing (basal metabolic rate).

If the AI is powered by renewables, it’s cleaner than humans. If it’s powered by fossil fuels, it’s likely much worse (though I haven’t run the calculations).

Now obviously, this presumes that the output of an AI is even valuable at all, which is often not the case.

Makes sense. AAA games are finance projects more than creative projects. Yeah there’s a lot of art and writing and stuff, but it’s all calibrated to make the most money and anything that threatens it is jettisoned. This makes them formulaic to a fault.

Indie games are passion projects, so you see a lot of weird stuff out there. Most of them are utter failures, financially, but the ones that survive are truly something special.

I wonder what North Korea considers a “mine clearing specialist”.

I wonder why the public doesn’t support this policy. Wasn’t it successful last time we tried it? /s

Just inject it directly into the brain smh

It does actually. The system is rigged to only allow two viable candidates. Anyone who says otherwise is either a conman or just foolish. You must pick one, or the rest of the country will pick for you, and you will get nothing.

There are rare situations when a party breaks up, allowing the other party to win, but those are increasingly uncommon, because everyone knows how it will end up.

Well yeah, and if more people did that we wouldn’t be dealing with nearly as many problems as we currently are.

This evidence is certainly in contrast to those who believe, based on the writings of Charles Dickens alone, that the Earth is around 4.5 billion years old.

🤣 this writer is genius

Woah woah woah, I said nothing about blockchain. That would almost certainly be the wrong, overly complex solution. The systems that exist for cryptographic voting do hit ALL your points while having the additional benefit of being perfectly auditable.

Cryptography is a much larger field than blockchain, and people use it for trusted communication every day.

That’s the whole point of crypto though, you publish the mathematically verifiable results, and everyone becomes a vote counter. Instead of trusting a small group of people to do it right, you can verify the counts yourself in a trustless system.

The algorithm isn’t a black box like you’re saying, it’s fully auditable and decentralized so any fuckery is immediately visible.

Now maybe I’m wrong and a mathematically verifiable algorithm can’t exist, but to my knowledge that’s never been shown to be the case.

Edit: turns out there are MANY such systems, and they are mathematically verifiable, and used in actual use cases today. The only thing stopping it is lack of political will, and arguably, the fact that even people without computers have the right to vote.

You do not have to trust the software. You could do that math for yourself if you really cared.

Surely there is a cryptographic way to count votes where someone can check that the results are correct but not how individuals voted, right?

Well I mean, slavery is still illegal. Black people are able to vote, hold office, own property, etc.

There’s still a lot of social injustice to solve but there’s been a lot of progress, albeit slow.

I don’t think that’s true. There were violent riots accompanying every major social change in at least recent history.

And famously, it took an entire fucking war to end slavery in the United States.

If killing Cthulhu is all it takes to solve the box-packing problem, Amazon would have already done it. No, this is something far more sinister than that.

Nah the US would find another “favorite child” to use for their proxy wars.

Spatial reasoning has always been a weakness of LLMs. Other symptoms include the inability to count and no concept of object permanence.
