And the point of anarchist or actual communist systems is that such scale would be miniscule.

Every community running their own AI would be even more wasteful than corporate centralization. It doesn’t matter what the system is if people want it.

Yet there’s no hand wringing over the environmental destruction caused by 3d gaming.

AI itself is a massive strain on the environment, without any true benefit

There are more 3d games developed each year than companies releasing new AI models.

Ai is literally making people dumber:

And books destroyed everyone’s memory. People used to have fantastic memories.

They are a massive privacy risk:

No different than the rest of cloud tech. Run your AI local like your other self hosting.

Are being used to push fascist ideologies into every aspect of the internet:

Hitler used radio to push fascism into every home. It’s not the medium, it’s the message.

And they are a massive environmental disaster:

AI uses a GPU just like gaming uses a GPU. Building a new AI model uses the same energy that Rockstar spent developing GTA5. But it’s easier to point at a centralized data center polluting the environment than thousands of game developers spread across multiple offices creating even more pollution.

Stop being a corporate apologist

Run your own AI! Complaining about “corporate AI” is like complaining about corporate email. Host it yourself.

You think any sort of powerful ai is about to be open source and usable by the ppl?

There’s a huge open source community running local models!

Blacks were over represented in prisons long before jazz.

I agree but what would have also worked is not voting for Trump. But Americans don’t take responsibility.

Also Lemmy users: “Biden did nothing which is why I didn’t vote for Harris.”

Americans:

“We didn’t get an improvement from Democrats so we are voting for the Republicans who promised to make things worse.”

“Oh no, Republicans made things worse! Why did Democrats do this to us?”

Americans: “We took all power away from Democrats and gave it to Republicans. Why aren’t Democrats saving us from what we did?”

Yeah but if you type in 1060 W Addison St, Chicago, IL 60613, they won’t hassle you again.

They got away with lying for 10 years without repercussions. The only thing that killed them was Musk going full Nazi.

The article says there’s a photo but doesn’t show it.

which may enable ftl comms.

It can’t. Take two playing cards and without looking at them, put them in an envelope and mail one to your friend across the country. Open up your envelope. You now know what card your friend has instantly. You can’t communicate instantly this way.

If that were true Tesla would have been out of business years ago.

What does it matter? They have your gps data. Location timeline is only saving the data they already steal to your phone so you can use it too instead of only advertisers.

You can type whatever you want. I learned that from The Blues Brothers.

The fictional science of the sophons was also bad.

1. The book author thought that protons were fundamental particles. Protons are made up of quarks. So the idea of unfolding a proton when it’s made up of 3 quarks doesn’t make sense. Put 3 marbles next to each other. Label the 3 marbles a proton. Unfold it. ???

2. Quantum teleportation doesn’t allow for FTL communication.

I used those as examples but I claim that most everything was C by the early 90’s. The statement that C compilers got fast which allowed it isn’t true. When a new compiler came out it was always a couple of percentage points faster than the old version. Meanwhile hardware was doubling in performance every two years.

C compilers didn’t need much optimization because there wasn’t much performance that could be optimized into code on the simple CPUs of 1992 when Doom was being written. CPU’s weren’t the superscalar multi core monsters they are today. A compiler couldn’t take advantage of reordering instructions to use multiple adders because there was only one.

having no reliance on assembly code

That’s not true. The original Doom has assembly. They replaced it for the Linux source release. But by that time PC hardware was much faster ( remember back in the 90’s performance doubled every 2 years) so it wasn’t needed.
