I applaud you for being such a coward that you delete your own comments rather than face criticism.

What? I don’t delete my comments due to criticism? Where did you see this?

I’m so confused, one look at my profile shows hours and days of discussion and having to put up with condescending smug crap like this:

good luck in your delusional pocket of brave little right-wing cis bois

Sometimes I’ll post something, realise I don’t care enough about the topic and delete my comment usually within a few minutes

Bonjour Monsieur! (Please don’t sue me 😱)

That’s ok, sometimes I’m right, sometimes I’m wrong, I tried to block many of the more extreme left wing progressive instances on this website (there is a lot) but it didn’t let me, hopefully in a future patch I can block all lgtbq++ premium content and leave it just for you guys to read and comment on, then you won’t have to suffer with me like I do you :(

Thanks again for letting me know you dislike my viewpoints, this means very little to me though as I’m aware that you dislike my viewpoints, you may not believe this but I disagree with some of your viewpoints as well! I just don’t go around literally posting that I’m rolling my eyes as you guys seem to do quite often?

The case was brought by the French association Mousse, whose mission is to “campaign for justice for the LGBTQI+ community,” according to its website.

Good luck to them, hope their relationship with Russia is successful just like it is for Transnistria

Since we are dealing with man-childs in the US government another move would be to have all EU and member states institutions collectively leave Twitter

This would be a fantastic first step, Mastodon would be ideal since it’s European made but even Bluesky, anything to really pull power away from Twitter/Musk

if news media would also not prominently feature Musks trolling but give him the cold shoulder unless therr is tangible policy to report on, that would also be great

I thought I was the only one!

I don’t give a shit what Musk thinks about the UK or any of his or Trumps batshit insane ideas

To the mainstream media: I don’t subscribe to Trump or Musks twitter feeds because I don’t give a shit about them, if I wanted to read about the latest mental thing they’re saying on twitter, I would just go to twitter…

Agreed, if America wants to go back to a protectionist status quo then so be it, the only thing I would argue is that Europe should focus more on supporting Africa in every way that it can

Oh I thought this was like a whole team of female soldiers but it’s just 1:

Dr. Balázs Tihanyi, leader of the research team, told the publication that the combination of grave goods in SH-63’s burial was unique within the cemetery, blending typically male and female items.

wasn’t the impact on kids minimal?

“For almost every infectious disease, the most vulnerable populations are at the extremes of age — the very young and the very old,” said Stanford Medicine professor of microbiology and immunology and of pathology Bali Pulendran, PhD. “But with COVID-19, the young are spared while the old are emphatically not. That’s been a mystery.”

what about people who do deliveries by car? what will they do?

Like declaring murder against trans people for being born transgender

was dawkins suggesting this in his opinion piece and if not then why remove it

And if you don’t always double check, it will bite you in the ass eventually. Good luck with that.

When did the web ever present itself as a completely factual and never wrong? There’s plenty of evidence of wikipedia being wrong on wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_hoaxes_on_Wikipedia

Do I get things wrong? Sure, never said I was perfect either, if someone tells me I got a stat or a figure or something wrong, great!

The question for me is: is it wrong enough to make the results completely unreliable, and the answer to that is no, more often than not it provides accurate information.

If it wasn’t for the web being a monetized SEO algo shithole we could still just search the web!

That’s not accurate to me, AI/SEO search results are still a minority of results that I get, most of the time I get close to what I’m looking for, but AI search summarisation is essentially the next level of search for me:

Dogpile/Altavista/AskJeeves > Google > AI powered search summarisation

I get essentially what I’m looking for directly, why click on a page with 47 ads, a video pop up or something else when all I’m looking for is:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/do-you-have-a-basic-egg-on-toa-pkpsq9WwSMm5G8ICsmDnbw#0

Is it a complete replacement? Not yet, Ecosia is still my daily driver having used it 25,000+ times in the last year but AI is making a serious dent in how often I use it.

we don’t need to build acres of compute powered by nuclear reactors to fix the problem.

I would keep an eye on that, the gains in AI have been massive in the last few years, and we’re starting to potentially see a turning point with DeepSeekv3 being created on a fraction of the cost and power of other models

DeepSeek (Chinese AI co) making it look easy today with an open weights release of a frontier-grade LLM trained on a joke of a budget (2048 GPUs for 2 months, $6M).

For reference, this level of capability is supposed to require clusters of closer to 16K GPUs…

https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/deepseeks-new-ai-model-appears-to-be-one-of-the-best-open-challengers-yet/

*This could turn out to be wrong hence why I’m keeping an eye on it **I’m absolutely certain a whole lot of execs are stunned right now they’re spending billions when something that cost millions came up right next to them

Okay, but then, why is AI useful? If you’re going to look at sources anyway, what’s the point?

Because it summarises the results, it’s like a search engine but better

The rest? It’s wasteful and it won’t last.

I’m using it for coding in a way that it isn’t going anywhere, I’m using LM Studio with Qwen2.5 Coder and Mistral 7b, these are offline models so even if Alibaba or Mistral go broke they’ll continue to work.

Example of what it looks like:

It seems like lots of people are using it in a similar way, no longer searching the web and clicking on sometimes 100 results trying to figure out a problem but instead using AI to answer questions:

While originally it was constantly making mistakes there’s now Chain of Thought and code sandboxing, it has gotten so much better so quickly

So now I’ve got: web search summarisation, a far better reddit/forum search and summarisation, text to image generation and personal coding assistant, each of these in and of themselves would be an amazing program used by millions and that’s ignoring using it for assistance with language learning:

etcetc

If it wasn’t for the web being an absolute social media shithole with no moderation resulting in AI slop being pasted all over the place, AI would genuinely be the greatest tech revolution I’ve seen since the iphone.

It would be nice for a start if they moved to Bluesky or Mastodon…

Also, it’s basically brainrot to expect any returns for societies from big corporates unless they’re extremely well regulated.

Then isn’t that something Europe can do better than anyone?

If anything I would argue that the EU is currently over regulated at the moment and it is causing flow on effects like stagnation and loss of business to the US and China

Given that we can watch the generative-AI boom change society for the worse and make the planet less livable in real time, I find your examples rather interesting.

You’ll have to extrapolate further on that, AI has been a huge improvement in my life, reasons here:

The Compliance Doom Loop

Why the rules keep growing

Consider this example. Spain does not have any frontier AI companies. But the country rushed to establish the first AI agency in Europe — the Spanish Agency for the Supervision of Artificial Intelligence (AESIA). The organisation will have a president, a director, two subdirectors, a secretary general and 10 departments. It includes offices with names such as the “Department of Instrumentation of Mechanisms for Trend Identification and Impact Assessment”, and the “Department of Awareness, Training, Dissemination, Promotion and Consciousness-raising”. Readers in the US are familiar with competitions between cities to host companies. In Spain, León and A Coruña fought over the decision of where to establish AESIA — the regulator for an industry that does not exist!

Is this also mocking the economy of Europe?

Well good news for Putin I guess, thanks to his stupidity NATO membership increased in size with Sweden and Finland joining and lots of other countries also looking at joining for protection from… Russia

He could have integrated Russia more deeply into Europe, with the gas pipelines and supply of energy, France/Macron was constantly saying that Russia should be more integrated into the EU… but then he did this and now I doubt in my lifetime we’ll see Russia be anything more than a pariah state

Holy crap 55 corporations paid no tax! I had no idea there was only 55 corporations!

Hopefully you can hear the distant rumbling, that’s just my eyes rolling.
