I agree with you, though proponents will tell you that’s by design. Supposedly, it’s like with high-level languages. You don’t need to know the actual instructions in assembly anymore to write a program with them. I think the difference is that high-level language instructions are still (mostly) deterministic, while an LLM prompt certaily isn’t.

It’s still useful to have an actual “study” (I’d rather call it a POC) with hard data you can point to, rather than just “trust me bro”.

I’m aware, usually investments are not financed (primarily) with debt though.

Yea, except Nvidia didn’t.

Nvidia’s outstanding shares have declined continuously since 2017.

Why would nvidia have new money to invest when its stock goes up? That’s not how the stock market works, you buy stock from other investors, not the company. Unless they finance all their investments with debt and use their higher valuation to get easier access to that financing. Which seems unlikely.

Don’t get me wrong, I 100% think AI is a crap bubble, but I don’t think you understood how this scam works.

I specifically said Linus T’s who doesn’t have braces

Holy shit, never saw teeth that looked as fake as Linus T’s (apart from obvious gold bling crap).

Completely agree, those summaries are incredibly bad. I was recently looking for some information in Gemini meeting notes and just couldn’t find it, even though I was sure it had been talked about. Then I read the transcript itself and realised that the artificial unintelligence had simply left out all the most important bits.

Last time I checked timeshift did not work properly with btrfs. You can create backups, but restoring them fails.

Are you using wayland? No idea if there is cinnamon wayland. I have the same issue on gnome, the last nvidia driver that worked under wayland was 570. Since then, unfortunately the only thing that helped was going back to X.

Oh yea I suppose Russia would have had to say “no” to invading Ukraine. Terrible thought /s

What exactly would not have worked without nukes?

people shouting that they care about the environment, while being silent on things like beef or flights etc. are being hypocrites

As others have said, most people that take issue with AI due to its negative impact on the environment will also take issues with those other things. Of course one might argue that to some extent pollution is acceptable for the purpose of producing food, while to a lesser extent for the purpose of powering magical text completion toys.

I’ve seen many people say AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET, when that is simply not true

How is it not true? You’ve agreed that it has a negative impact on the environment. It’s not burning the planet on its own, but its contrubution to the burning is non-negligible and only expected to grow. According to all scientific findings, we have to reduce our carbon footprint, not increase it even further, to make the impact of climate change maybe somehow bearable. Therefore, everything contributing to an increase has to be scrutinised thoroughly as to the value it provides net its impact on pollution. Currently, that calculation results in a net negative value of “AI”.

What’s your point? “There are other things that pollute the environment even more, so this thing that pollutes the environment a bit less is totally fine”? I hope you understand why you’re getting downvoted.

Tbh, I never cared about it much, mine isn’t exactly a new account and I haven’t experienced what you describe very often. I mostly use lemmy via the voyager app and here I can’t even see what instance someone is on, unless I search for them specifically (or I’m too much of a noob and don’t know how). So if some people want to base their judgment on that, whatever.

It’s just the first instance I found when I signed up, I didn’t know anything about its reputation.

Money is not printed by the local government at all. Money is created by private banks through extending credit. And it shouldn’t be controlled by the government either, that’s a terrible idea.

I agree with the rest though.

Oh so you support grifting off the public domain? Maybe grow some balls instead of taking the status quo for granted.

Unfortunately, this partnership with OpenAI means they’ve sided with evil and I won’t spend a cent on their products anymore.
