That’s just where you put programs that sound good but no one wants to spend the money to actually accomplish them. 2050 might be the end of the world, but it’d be because all the stuff we needed to do to head it off were given “we’ll get to it eventually” deadlines.
In that they’ll discover a task that sounds easy will be practically impossible to accomplish?
Using the best models as synthetic data is mostly pointless. You’re just going to recreate all of its biases and failures in a degraded copy. The whole point of open source software is being able to analyze the source code to learn how it works and understand and ideally remove its weaknesses.
Open weights doesn’t let you do that, and what research it enables is mostly just tinkering around the edges. If someone trained a network, but it kept saying racist stuff, you can’t figure out why it’s racist or rebuild it without the racism from weights alone. Just the weights is like having a binary. Maybe nice to have a gratis app to use, but not really open.
Open-source AI is the data, not the weights. Weights alone isn’t useless, but it’s not a platform to truly understand and modify a network. No one wants to open their data though, because that’s both what gives them a competitive edge and it would be an admission of widespread copyright violations.
So if she’s not a terrorist and didn’t do anything criminal, that sure sounds like the officer shooting her is a criminal act.
It should. This is straight up eugenics. No one should be making genetic fitness a priority when proposing state policy.
A “generation” of students aren’t prompt engineers. And even if you learned one useless skill in your major during college, you still have the entire rest of the program. I haven’t used many of the skills I learned in college and my industry has changed extensively since then, but learning those things contributed to a larger competency.
That sucks, but we’re not a real economy if we just keep bad companies afloat because people have invested in them. We certainly don’t need to filter any aid to unfortunate retirees in need through the stock market.
There’s a few other fascist states following Texas, so even if Texas fails CA is still necessary.
And Latinos are particularly meaningless. In addition to the oft cited differences in which nation they/their family came from, there are a lot of Latinos that are just white people with Spanish last names.
Summary of the people quoted in the article about “Gen Z” protests:
They’re just trying to coopt the other successful revolutions by people who are actually protesting for generational change, not just “do Boomer politics for people of means”.
From an Al Jazeera reporter:
Monica Cruz, an AJ+ reporter in Mexico City, said it was likely that the opposition was behind the protests in the Mexican capital.
“We are having a hard time believing that this is an organic protest. Especially from young people. We don’t want to say that Gen Z is a monolith. There are young people in every side of the political spectrum,” she said.
“But there’s not a lot of young people out there on the streets and we are thinking that may be a reflection or a sign that this is not really coming from the young people. Because we’ve seen protests here in Mexico City against the genocide in Palestine, for example, and we’ve seen young people by the thousands marching in the streets.”
…Why is the deadline to file for a two year term midway through the existing one?
Her 2020 campaign wasn’t actually that good. She started with the same boost of optimism and then fell apart once she started defining specifics and every other statement was walking things back. She flamed out for a reason.
I agree with your statement here though. She had all the momentum and tools to win and flubbed it through actual choices, not some inherent insurmountable challenges.
If only our opponent hadn’t made a choice detrimental to us!
Another recent change was Trump pushing for the filibuster to be removed. The establishment could just claim it was because they need it to stop him so they should never stop him enough that he would make Republicans do it, but it could also be seen as a freedom they don’t want to have should we get a Democratic trifecta in the future. Being able to say “I want to do good things, but shucks the system stopped me” is a valuable tool for elected officials.
So it’s the caviest of caves, without even giving the Democrats anything. Are they worried that they were winning too much?
No, I mean he could raise way more than his defense will cost. He’s kind of one of the mythic figures of the resistance.
When the early revolution is recorded to history, we’ll remember such luminaries as the Portland Frog, Polka Dot Lady, and Sandwich Guy.
If he hasn’t crowd funded his legal expenses it’s because he’s actively choosing not to. He could be grifting this so hard.
I keep worrying that he’s going to use authoritarianism and a violation of the rule of law to do good things and people will normalize those things as ok, but he seems devoted to never helping anyone who isn’t rich or armed.
Republicans are saying the same thing.
They’re just saying it out loud.
