I had to disable sleep mode on my windows desktop because half the time it wouldn't wake up again.

Windows is rock solid?

I mean, this is 100% "no true scotsman". It feels like we're more or less peaking with the current algorithms for making llms but people are going to figure out how to usd them more effectively and you just won't notice the gen-ai effects.

Right now you have failsons like musk bragging about his terrible "one shot" short films but people who use them with more subtly and with actual skill will just look like anything else being produced.

Trump is globally famous for lying. It's possibly his most well known attribute? What's the argument here?

Hey remember when we had a 2 (plus?) Year trial over whether or not the president had sex with someone other than his wife? Something about family values or morality or whatever they said at the time?

God I am tired of this argument.

What you're saying is that "we" shouldn't enforce the law because "they" will break the law in response.

Aside from being inherently morally bankrupt, they'rw already breaking the law.

Eh, owning the supreme court helps a lot. It moves pretty quickly when it needs to protect trump.

Tell me more about how "the sides" are reducing "common ground"?

> The true shame is on the congressional republicans for letting him sully them so deeply and follow him in his self immolation of the entire government and America

This is the problem when your entire identity and principles boil down to "doing what the social superior tells you to".

What?

If you work for ubicloud, I have a question: do you sell api access to kimi/etc, and if so, where is that listed??

Right? If they had lost that copyright lawsuit, openai would have stopped existing.

Of course presumably chinese models would keep existing and that gets a little weird.

Publishing "objectively rigorous science" is great. That's why we have several hundred science journals publishing (theoretically) peer-reviewed articles.

Scientific American should do this. It should also talk about how and why and by who the science is done, because that is how you IMPROVE THINGS.

Every single time someone complains that something is "political" what they actually mean is that it is questioning the status quo.

Guess what, the status quo is also the result of politics. Whatever the exact system and framework we have at this moment is not some kind of "natural universal default" that just happened to come into existence.

People created it. Thousands of people made millions of choices to get us to where we are, and guess what, that is politics.

Pretending none of that happened or that nothing should change is just ... cowardly.

> Political content masquerading as science

I don't know how else to explain this. Politics matters because science is done by people and everything people do is, at some level, political. Who gets funding, how much funding, who works with each other, what gets published, what gets studied, this is all politics.

And if we want the best science to be done, we need to understand why and how these decisions get made, and by whom.

Yes? That's why I said "sometimes"? Are you trying to tell me that every single scientific american article focused entirely why people did things?

Or, maybe, perhaps, they did it sometimes.
