  • You have that backwards. People are using the colloquial definition of AI.

    “Intelligence” is defined by a group of things like pattern recognition, ability to use tools, problem solving, etc. If one of those definitions are met then the thing in question can be said to have intelligence.

    A flat worm has intelligence, just very little of it. An object detection model has intelligence (pattern recognition) just not a lot of it. An LLM has more intelligence than a basic object detection model, but still far less than a human.






  • Windows is idiot proof, meaning that it’s kind of hard to ruin desktop windows during the normal operations.

    Are you new? Windows will barf all over itself and all your files doing regular updates. Happened to my wife’s computer just recently. She has almost nothing installed on it aside from Steam and Chrome. Windows update turned itself into a hot mess, and it’s a known issue. The only option was to do a completely fresh install of Windows.

    Idiot proof my ass.






  • Their authoritarian dystopia is preferable to the American nazi parties fascist idiocracy

    No, it really isn’t. Neither is preferable. The reason why the American system seems incredibly bad right now is because everyone in the West is accustomed to the kind of liberty we’ve enjoyed for a long time. So when that changes we see the contrast around us very sharply.

    But don’t kid yourself that China is better. In fact, the Chinese system is the direction that America is heading towards and starting to emulate.

    People in China can’t even say a single negative word against Xi, and if they do it online whatever they post gets deleted within minutes and the person gets a knock at the door, often not being heard from ever again.

    And that’s simply not the case in the US currently. Sure you get the news story about people being turned away at the border for having said something about Trump online, or getting locked up by ICE for a few months (that’s an insane reality, don’t get me wrong). But ultimately these people are the exception… for now.

    At least the CCP value science and education.

    The German Nazis also valued Science and education. That doesn’t mean anything in the long run.

    ps: I know someone will accuse me of violating Godwin’s law here, but it’s literally relevant since we’re talking about actual Nazis
