Heavy duty ring binder and an a3 laminator that can fit the A4 sheets with reinforced pre cut holes for ringbinding, and a short trip to go support your local library by using their printer.

It’ll require no batteries, no network connection, no troubleshooting and it’s waterproof.

I do not believe anyone currently knows how to look inside the factory right now; no journalist, manager, or ceo has the keys.

You’re more than welcome to keep believing that, but if you do, then you also have to admit that the US and other apartheid governments are using a tool with which they have NO idea what it does or how it works, to track, identify, monitor and either abduct or kill civilians.

Another point : maths is not some magic handwaving thing, simple addition does not require an “it’s in the ballpark of x, so whittle it down to about the right answer” it has a correct answer, and a correct method of getting to that answer. Both of which a calculator (mechanical or otherwise) has been able to do for centuries.

What an absolute waste of computational power.

Elon was too busy smoking crack

How big is the simulation of the fruit fly in gb?

Solar flares are hard to predict because we can’t see the internal processes of something 83 million miles away, whereas a ML algorithm was created by someone on earth.

The slave labour analogy is a good one, if you weren’t the owner of the sweatshop you could easily say “I don’t know how it works” which is exactly my point - just because most people dont think/dont know whats going on doesn’t mean that it’s a mystery, just that not a lot of people care enough to find out, because they’d rather have the shiny new pair of shoes that they’ve been told are essential.

I’m aware of how electrons work, the personification of “happily” and “running” were intentional, and I never said they disappear. No need for correction. (I just like using the terms “angry pixies” and “blue smoke” because I work in the industry.)

You say “we don’t know what we programmed it to do” as if the <10 tech companies that built it did so with no knowledge of what they were doing.

We know what it does, because we can see what it is used for- mass surveillance, misinformation, deepfakes (of every horrifying kind your brain can conjure, now entirely legal thanks to ol muskrat not wanting to go to forever jail for building a robot that generates csam out of your family photos), propaganda, psyops, mass psychosis, and don’t forget the kicker; irrefutable crimes against humanity.

Finally the LLM they’re “torturing” with this code is 8GB. Do you think something thats less than 10% the size of GTA5 is capable of feeling pain?

Techies and engineers built these MLs from the ground up. An ML algo is barely even a machine. In its most physical form it’s a string of active and inactive transistors doing maths, it has no nerves or pain receptors. It does not feel because we have not programmed it to, it does not have experiences because it is an algorithm that only knows how to spit out “human sounding speech” or track patterns across big datasets.

Do you feel bad for all the electrons happily running around a circuit when you turn off an appliance?
