He’s not withering away fast enough.

Bu there’s no sense crying over every mistake

We just keep on trying till we run out of cake.

I don’t think AI codecs will be anything revolutionary. There are plenty of lossless codecs already, but if you want more detail, you’ll need a better physical sensor, and I doubt there’s anything that can be done to go around that (that actually represents what exists, not an hallucination).

Stackoverflow is still very much impossible to replace. The amount of knowledge that it contains is simply too great to fall easily. And LLMs like ChatGPT aren’t even close to being as helpful as SO answers, specially on archaic libraries.

It’s extremely hard to give a machine a sense of morality without having to manually implement it on every node that constitutes their network. Current LLMs aren’t even aware of what they’re printing out, let alone understand the moral implications from that.

The day a machine is truly aware of the morality of what they say, in addition to actually understanding it, then we truly have AI. Currently, we have gargantuan statistical models that people glorify into nigh-godhood.

I have to use W11, but I use ExplorerPatcher to make it bearable.

The Pope would probably know how to code in HolyC.

Adobe needs to stay the hell away, full stop.

I heard the voice line as I was reading it. Excellent and memorable game series.

In realistic terms, I don’t think the Butlerian Jihad would have that much of a chance. I’d bet on Skynet and it’s Judgment Day happening first.

That is, when AI truly exists. Right now, we have essentially gargantuan amounts of glorified if-else spaghetti.

Or the option that happens in practice: You are just forgotten and people stop contacting you.

People don’t like change, and will resist it. How much depends on the person.

It’s almost like every OS will have issues if you start fucking up core parts of it, who would have guessed?

I am not even American, but I do know that the US Army budget makes the NASA budget look like pocket change.

I’d say you’re focusing on the wrong sector…

Backwards compatibility does have it’s merit. Windows at least tries to make shit from the XP era work all the way up to 11. I’ve had some big headaches because some system decided to throw backwards compatibility out the fucking windows and break tons of scripts I had.

The GPU market being wrecked by motherfuckers that wanted to build crypto farms, the cryptocurrency scams, the NFTs, etc.

And the greatest problem of all with crypto is that it is a solution for a non-existing problem. The web worked fine without it and it proved to be way more stable than crypto ever could.

I believe it, but crypto’s reputation is forever stained by the shitshow that happened, and it won’t change in the near future.

Anything that get even near crypto might make a lot of content creators think twice before moving. I know I would.

It got killed once and like a Phoenix, it rose again amidst it’s own ashes. Hell yeah, it will survive.

I don’t think even a decentralized service could hold a mass equal to youtube. That would require that either the owners of all instances pay from their own pockets with mostly no income to support it, or that every user paid up, which is not going to happen, at least not in a service like youtube.

Did youtube at the time serve millions of users daily and stored a gargantuan amount of petabytes worth of videos?

Even if a competitor rises, they will need money somehow, and in this hell of a capitalist world, only big corporations have it.
