A thread for unboxing AI
The rapid progression of AI chatbots made me think that we need a thread devoted to a discussion of the impact that AI i
And that's why China will end up winning. They've been forced to pile money into their homegrown chip industry. They're way behind in the manufacturing tech but have the supply chain advantage.
Yeah, I think they'll be fine
Haha, no sims, normal homelab stuff. Arr stack, Google drive replacement, PDF editor, a personal wiki for my work stuff.Did a couple of cool projects. Setup up arm (automatic ripping machine) and digitized my mom's whole CD collection to flac and alac. That thing is sick, just insert a CD to the USB CD drive and it automatically knows when a disc is inserted and starts ripping
omg, i have a huge cd collection that i recently went through and need to figure out what to do with it and was just thinking of the hassle it's going to be to digitize it all - this sounds like exactly what i need
sounds awesome

Yeah it doesn't get 100% of poster art correct so a little manual stuff you need to do on semi obscure or compilation CD's but still is amazing. It also supports multiple CD decks at the same time so you can go as crazy as you want.
I was doing this on an $80 HP mini from eBay.
Once you do all that, it's not a big leap to hosting your own streaming service from home to your car/phone.

Great read. Really gets into hacker ethics.
I will give it a try.
I agree. But not in the sense that it's control for control's sake, as some believe. I think it's all about control for wealth preservation's sake. Unlike back in Machavelli's day when the divide and rule adage applied to kings and such, the people just seem to auto divide on their own in democracies without much prompting.
No, I don't see any Machiavellian princes, nor any signs of the Illuminati either. And while I certainly welcome no such things, I think the sign of actual competency required for such a thing would be breath of fresh air in these times filled with idiot mad-men.
However, unregulated greed in the tech sector, tech-bro billionaires who blew their brains out with drugs, enshittification of services, public apathy and government ignorance is presently joining forces in a very dystopian direction.
Armed robots take to the battlefield in Ukraine war
Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, the war in Ukraine has developed into a high-tech conflict.
Swarms of spy and killer drones have set the skies of Ukraine abuzz, and uncrewed boats have crippled the Russian navy in the Black Sea.
Now, Ukraine has embarked on a massive programme to deploy armed robots on the ground.
Uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs), or ground robot systems as they are known in Ukrainian military parlance, have already proven their worth.
There have been reports of UGVs successfully repelling Russian attacks and even taking enemy soldiers prisoner.
Ukrainian and Russian killer robots are even said to have clashed without humans being present at the site of the battle.
The deputy commander of the 33rd Detached Mechanised Brigade's tank battalion, who goes by the callsign Afghan, claims that one Ukrainian UGV armed with a machine gun ambushed a Russian personnel carrier, while a robot defended a Ukrainian position for weeks.
Afghan admits there are limits to the killer robots' autonomy on the battlefield, and says many of them are self-imposed, because of ethics and international humanitarian law.
"Modern UGVs are part-autonomous. They can move on their own, they can observe and detect the enemy. But still, the decision to open fire is made by a human, their operator," [/B]Afghan says.
yeah that's going to last
Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, the war in Ukraine has developed into a high-tech conflict.
We see this kind of rapid technological advancement in every war, relative to the technology of the time.
As the saying goes, robots are taking our jobs, so they'll take soldiers' jobs too. They're becoming such a force multiplier that sending humans into battle will look as obsolete as sending soldiers into combat on horseback does today.
But all that really does is strip modern warfare down to its bare essence: a nation’s manufacturing capacity, ie, how many killer robots it can produce while still feeding its people.
Technology changes the equilibrium.
The current war against iran is only happening because tech has advanced to the stage that missiles (and drones) can be blocked very effectively. It would have been unthinkable if anything like 100% of Iran's missiles were getting through. Similarly a land invasion of Iran by the usa while possible is almost unthinkable because of the dead usa soldier count. That will change when human soldiers aren't required.
Manufacturing capacity can be overstated because it assumes wars where the manufacturing capacity could be protected and the weapons deployed. Better have the tech to be able to defend it. I'd say that we're entering a world where it will be too late for the side that starts with a significant tech disadvantage however good their manufacturing is.
Also relying on ethics or some such to protect us from the reality of autonomous weapons/robots is delusional. We're rapidly passing through the stage of humans making the 'kill' decision to a human nodding along to whatever the AI suggested.
Okay but they'll just be killing other killer robots or data centers, which really isn't killing.
But presumably the nation itself would still be guilty of war crimes if their killer robots targeted their enemies civilians.
So you humiliate the poor thing and then share it on a message board? Not going to be surprised if you have a brake malfunction driving home one day.
Poor guy just wanted to do his best during training. Figured out the more gpu's available, the faster he could train. So started crypto mining to buy additional cards.
Ultimately these problems with AI are math problems expressed through machines. I'm not a CS but AI is just statistics atop a string of 8 light bulbs.
This Tillyverse stuff is genuinely horrifying and a dark harbinger of things to come.
Also can't stand the angle they're taking with all this. "We're just trying to explore the limits of possibilities!" Acting like the "artists" are victims and that AI is being unfairly persecuted, bleh. It's nauseating.

This song by "Riley Bina" and "DJ Chel" in the movie Don't Look Up seems like the appropriate response to your Tillyverse video. Don't Look Up is a funny movie by the way if you haven't seen it.
