Are you suggesting he refuses to transfer power?

The Fifth Risk is a very good read for anyone who might be interested in a finer grained look into the lesser-known functions of our government 👍

God I need to get out on the water. The ocean is calling me

Lemmy.world users generally hold ridiculous, unrealistic leftist positions and do not have any concept of people who might have any other more moderate left positions

Put yourself on public camera streams first as a test. I bet this guy is not always on his best behavior

This is great suff and I agree for the most part.

I have not been occupying right spaces online. Don’t have the time / energy. And I don’t really put in the effort to try to change anyone’s mind Online because people are change resistant online.

But

I do argue politely IRL for things that would help. Better infrastructure, trains, good jobs, love everyone, let people do what they want as long as it doesn’t hurt others, transparency in money and government, and make good things in America. Still unlikely to change minds but at least making friendships with people different from me.

I guess my overall thesis would be: online discourse is has proven unproductive. I’m tired of reading vitriol and “other side is so dumb wow.”

Disappointed to see the echoiness of the echo chamber on Lemmy

Thanks! Good response. I think it is always worth the effort to try and understand and talk to people and use words to convince them. I think everyone can be convinced, we just have to pull the right levers.

But if it’s the community’s opinion that that is not an option, and only violence is the answer. I have very low hopes for our country’s future.

I would be cautious about writing off an entire side’s viewpoint as overdramatic. When they do that to the left, does anyone change their mind?

This is all about division.

We need to work on understanding the root cause of issues and working towards fixing that.

I think economics is actually at the core of the problem.

A lot of people don’t have the basics right now, and they lash out at anything they can to try to fix it.

The Overton window has shifted dramatically in the last 10 years. He represents aversion to that

We send your calculations to your fourth grade teacher

I honestly hope you are right. But as an expert, I am confident you are not.

There are existing successful products in these and other areas. I am not going to do your research for you, because I have burned a bunch of time and energy on that in these types of discussions in the past and rarely has anyone changed their mind. If you want, you can start your search with the term “AI Agents”

Realistically, the near future is going to look like 1 person managing 10+ AI Agents that do desk jockey jobs in a supervisor role. Long term future, as confidence rises, the managers will not be needed either.

If your only experience is with text or photo generation in consumer models, that is a fun toy, but it’s very small compared to the total possibilities. And it gets better exponentially. It is already replacing software engineers and paralegals. And it’s better than radiologists at spotting cancers and such.

Every job that was considered “non-essential” during the pandemic will be gone in the next 3-5 years. Save up and get ready.

I think the phrase originates from red pill “culture” so you might be unintentionally correct

You probably want 48gb of vram or more to run the good stuff. I recommend renting GPU time instead of using your own hardware, via AWS or other vendors - runpod.io is pretty good.

Dumb name & dumb product, bring back Chromecast

Imo it’s worthwhile to just run the biggest model available and rent expensive GPU time. It still amounts to very little overall and you get much better results. Project dependent of course

Uncensored models are so much better, too. chatGPT is like one of those plastic children’s toy hammers vs real models are titanium hammers

Yeah I told him as much. He agreed it was dumb

I remember working with someone contracting for DoD who had to rebuild Apache because he wasn’t allowed to use open source libraries for security reasons 😂 your tax dollars at work
