Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What makes LLMs interesting to investors is not so much their usefulness, but the fact that the technology goes very well with the "just believe in me" approach.
2·8 days agoSo you gotta understand, I’m a history buff with a financial background that dabbles in cybersecurity. So like this is me speculating based on my own view.
Do you have any sources that cite figures that would suggest this? To be honest, I have my doubts
Can you be more specific? I want to give you a high quality response when I have time.

6·8 days agoI think everyone banking on the AI bubble bursting and that being the end of AI slop are going to be very, very, disappointed with what is about to happen.
-
AI is going to keep getting better at things. The existence of AI slop or trash vibe coding has no bearing on future capabilities of these models.
-
The AI “bubble” is less of a bubble and more of a ball and cup game exchanging real assets. So while the redundancy in stock market valuations is fluff… the data centers, energy production, and computer chips, and robots are not. Those things will still exist after any bubble bursts.
-
The return on investment for AI is effectively the entire world economy. Their goal with AI is to entirely eliminate the need to pay human labourers. Whoever owns that AI will defacto become the most profitable & powerful entity in the fucking world.
-
AI will transform warfare and violence on levels on comparable with the invention of projectile weapons and gunpowder. When the AI bubble bursts the Military-Industrial-Complex will simply buy the dip.
I really don’t like AI… but we can’t afford to turn our brains off at “AI Slop” and not think realistically (or at least pessimistically) about what’s coming next.

Don’t know how they function with so many conflicting realities.
They got those religious blinders. You know, like what horses wear but self imposed.
Nobody in BC talks shit about green plates or black plates cuz none of them compare to red plates.
For real though… Every single person I know that’s moved to Alberta got stupider.

Unless this is some calculated move to get Danielle to stfu in the short term (with no real intent to follow through) I think this will blow up in Carneys face in the long term.

Upvote-downvote is a great reaction to all the trolls.
You’re thinking moderators.
Upvote/Downvote/likes is the cancer that ruined it all. Before that one actually had to speak in support or against any given ideas. Now people can assume anything is true/false based on an arbitrary engagement number.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Not to get all religous but was not Jesus pissed for people making money in churches? Didn't he flip tables and everything? Then how do churches nowadays explain the collection plate?
12·15 days agoJesus wouldn’t gripe the practice of tithing so much as what the modern church does (or mainly doesn’t do) with the money. Obviously if that money was spent helping people he would be cool with it.
There’s even a bit in the bible where he say the poor woman who tithed the 1 penny she could spare was giving more than the rich people who gave much more.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you catch up being out of the loop in politics and wars?
1·16 days agoThe region known as Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire for 400 years until being occupied by the British post WW1. As such drawing a straight line between Abraham and the current occupation/genocide is complete bullshit
In 1878 there were only 15K jews making up 3% of the population. By 1914 that number increased to 58,000 (15%) due to the Zionist movement which was bolstered by a British Mandate.
While the winners of WW2 divided their territorial spoils, they mandated the 2 state solution, triggering a civil war in 1947. During this civil war Israel, with western support, drove 85% of Palestinians into the Egypt and Jordan controlled Gaza Strip and West Bank.
It was during the 1967 “6 day war” that Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza strip… again driving thousands out of their homes.

2·16 days agoThe TLDR is that no one source covers everything or is correct on everything. You’ll need to combine quality reporting (listed below) with your own fact checking such as cross verifying where stories are sourced; or researching topics on your own through wikipedia/etc. (Chat GPT won’t be reliable for this fyi)

16·17 days agoKim’s dad defended OJ Simpson, which gave their name international recognizability. In 2007 Kim had a sextape with singer Ray J and was Paris Hilton’s personal assistant. Those boosted her profile enough to launch their TV show which they used as a vehicle to start multiple businesses and perpetuate their brand.
