From my understanding, that is something that is done, but it isn’t as reliable as media makes it seem. It’s a tool, but it’s very flawed. It can be used with other evidence to identify a weapon, but alone it’s mostly useless.

IIRC, we get a ton of helium from methane extraction now, which we’re increasingly relying on. We have more helium than we know what to do with at the moment I’m pretty sure. Now, once we stop using methane for power, then sure, it’s limited. Currently it’s a byproduct that there isn’t enough use for compared to what’s produced.

AI products are rarely running locally. You’re using the service of a company, who is not doing so for free. Even if you aren’t paying, you’re consuming the product. Like you said, they can regulate sales, like this.

I agree, it’s practically unenforceable (on the consumer). However, there are many such laws. They’re usually used to add on to a crime that is already committed. Rarely does someone get pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt, for example.

They do not have the right to create a law that infringes on your personal rights to access legal content.

It’s not legal content if they make it illegal. For example, like you said, they can do porn bans, right? If they restrict accessing AI products, that’s the same thing, right?

It’s not that absurd. Consider weapons (not guns, because the Supreme Court doesn’t know how to read the 2A), or drugs (like Kratom, which has been causing issues lately). Do you agree they can regulate those? They’re federally legal. That doesn’t mean they can’t be illegal locally. There are a lot of things that are legal federally but locally illegal.

Thanks Trump?

Somewhat, though fake also implies it isn’t actually intelligence. It’s a charade. Artificial intelligence does the opposite. They’re related, but I don’t think they’re technically synonymous.

Maybe, but this isn’t discussing using an app on your phone. This is discussing an app using a service that is not on your phone. If you’re running a model locally then sure, they probably can’t do anything about that. If it’s a product being sold by a company then they can.

As an obvious example, they can ban you from using a child pornography app (regardless of if it’s local-only). I’m certain you agree that they’re allowed to do that, right? It’s obvious in that example. What’s the difference with AI if they ban that?

Yeah, 1/16th isn’t nothing. However, the point is you’re mostly accelerating sideways, not up. If that were a significant part of the launch then we’d launch from mountains, but we almost always launch from the lowest points possible, at sea level.

Yes, the Earth is rotating, but most of your orbital velocity is added during the launch. The altitude is pretty minor. It’s why very few rockets have been launched from planes, that can give a significant portion of the altitude with very little cost. Altitude is just a small enough portion of the launch that the extra complications don’t give it an edge.

No, not really. The velocity needed for low Earth or it is 7.8 km/s. The speed of rotation on the surface of earth is 0.46 km/s. You need to go sideways a lot more than you need to go up. You do need to go up some, but it’s pretty minor in comparison. Watch a rocket launch. They go up at the start, but start burning toward the horizon pretty quickly.

Ironically, Pasteur was French.

Realistically, it’s technically sideways. To reach orbit you need to go sideways, not up. Theoretically you could escape Earth’s gravity influence by going straight away from it, but it’s not the realistic way that works.

Even if you have that choice, it’ll only stop some of the damage. The fact is that every sector will feel this collapse. It won’t only effect AI companies.

99% of the time I downvote posts with words censored. If you really want to post it you can edit it (or create a new version) without the censorship. Lemmy shouldn’t support that. This one case I upvoted though because it’s really good.

But yeah, downvote posts with censorship. Eventually they’ll get the memo.

I totally agree with giving states more control. The thing is, if I’m ever discussing it, I’m not going to be as vague as “states rights”. That’s my point. It’s not that the argument is bad, but that the only reason to be vague is to conceal the true intent.

I already said. Whatever makes the most money next quarter. It’s not some amazing end goal they’re working towards. It’s whatever they con convince investors to put money into. Almost always the marketing is not about AGI. The marketing is how they’re going to replace workers. You don’t need AGI for this.

It’s adorable that you think it’s something more intelligent than this.

I’d love for his grave site to become a public urinal. I imagine it’s probably in the middle of nowhere though.

Only coming up +5 during this election does mean it was that close. This was a historic election for shifting towards Democrats. +5 this election basically means it would have been very close, or she would have lost, during any other election.

“States rights” is never specific because it’s talking about state’s right to own people, or segregate, or other racist things. If it’s for something good then you just say what you’re actually wanting to do.

The current industry? No, they aren’t. Academia? Maybe. The current industry is not out to do something like that. They’re thinking about how they can get more investor money next quarter.

yes indeed agi is what most companies are after when they say ai.

In the past, yes. Right now? No. The current models are not attempting to create AGI. They’re trying to create a product they can market easily. Honestly, AGI probably would have marketing issues that the current models do not have. The current models are essentially statistical prediction models, not intelligence. They don’t reason (despite the industry using that term for marketing). They can’t understand something that is totally outside their training data. AGI could.
