Do AppleID requires credit card to dev on the platform in any way (xcode)

well back in my day I had to have apple id to download xcode first time I used a mac

It will design the machines to build the autonomous robots that mine the cobalt.... doing the jobs of several companies at one time and either freeing up several people to pursue leisure or the arts or starve to death from being abandoned by society.

We ruined the world by painting certain men or groups as bad. The centralization of power is the bad thing. That's the whole purpose of all Republics as I understand it. Something we used to know and have almost completely forgotten

when you get into these nitty gritty copyright/ip arguments you realize it's all just a house of cards to make capital king and the main ism

I agree and I gave that option as the last one in the list.

The model T will absolutely not replace horse drawn carts -- Maybe some small group of people or a family for a vacation but we've been using carts to do war logistics for 1000s of years. You think some shaped metal put together is going to replace 1000s of men and horses? lol yeah right

TFW you realize you're just a fancy autocomplete engine :P

No, the thing I'm comparing is our inability to discern where a new technology will lead and our history of smirking at things like books, cars, the internet and email, AI, etc.

The first steam engines pulling coal out of the ground were so inefficient they wouldn't make sense for any use case than working to get the fuel that powers them. You could definitely smirk and laugh about engines vs 10k men and be totally right in that moment, and people were.

The more history you learn though, you more you realize this is not only a hubrisy thing, it's also futile as how we feel about the proliferation of technology has never had an impact on that technology's proliferation.

And, to be clear, I'm not saying no humans will work or have anything to do -- I'm saying significantly MORE humans will have nothing to do. Sure you still need all kinds of people even if the robots design and build themselves mostly, but it would be an order of magnitude less than the people needed otherwise.

But since we don't understand how cognition works in living beings almost at all -- who's to say that's not how 'actual thinking' works other than 'I know it when I see it!"

define design -- I had Chat GPT dream up new musical instruments and then we implemented one. It wrote all the code and architecture, though I did have to prod/help it along in places.

you’ll never be able to make a LLM that’s any good at playing chess,

They said that about machines and then we all laughed at the mechanical turk hoax. Now machines can almost beat you in Go.

I'll say it again -- It is hubris and you will obviously be wrong to try to predict the future or what will have value.

like come on -- superpositioning exists and we've no clue how consciousness works (Bostrom thinks its just maths) but you have this crystal ball full of certainty. It smells...

This is such a rich-country-centric view that I can't stand. LLMs have already given the world maybe it's greatest gift ever -- access to a teacher.

Think of the 800 million poor children in the world and their access to a Kahn academy level teacher on any subject imaginable with a cellphone/computer as all they need. How could that not have value and is pearl clutching drawing skills becoming devalued really all you can think about it?

@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

bro I was taught in a textbook in the US in the 00s that the statue of liberty was painted green.

No math teacher I ever had actually knew the level of math they were teaching.

Humans hallucinate all the time. almost 1 billion children don't even have access to a human teacher, thus the boon to humanity

@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

yeah but whatever the stats about as N increases alpha/beta error goes away thing is

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

Sure steam engines may not fit every use but from them we learned to make other kinds of engines right? But yeah I'm sure 'LLM' will either change scope/definition or we'll make new stuff to fit other use cases kind of like diffusion models for images vs llm for text generation.

is it good guessing that you know when you step out of your bed without looking you won't fall to your death?

Take a shit on the passbar, screech like an alien in a movie and then just walk out.... or at least that was always my fantasy

Oracle can see the source code

What? Surely that's not true

@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

Especially for real law, you would have to define propaganda which I don't think has really been done.

I have thought about it and I don't see why all information isn't some form of propaganda because you're either bias on purpose by trying to persuade or bias by what you're aware of and know which can't be all information with our tiny human minds.

How do you measure bias without having some objective physical level model of the truth even?

I think the argument against TikTok and other Chinese companies is probably that you wouldn't allow Facebook by Chinese Communist Party and this crosses the line into that. To be fair though, you could probably ultimately make the same argument for US companies. Why is there so much money available for ads for VPNs compared to the financials of that market? Only a few answers to that one...

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

to not would mean someone is controlling the propaganda I.e. all information

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, that's true-- but all the laws where 'a reasonable person...' make me feel like the porn definition "I know it when I see it!"

I will say I can feel the hype train with Manor Lords, which I usually am not a part of. I like that kind of game and already had furthest frontier so I picked it up.

I was pretty... shocked with how much was unfinished and how little soul and love the game felt like it had.

I figured I got duped and someone paid every youtuber on a slow week to hype it up since they missed some publisher deadline or whatever

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

you can point and laugh all you want but the real meat of this story is that trust in our institutions is this low.

lanolinoil ,
@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

No -- I'm not saying we should trust our current institutions, nor that I trust them, but it does seem to be a big problem

@lanolinoil@lemmy.world avatar

Well yeah -- The loss of decorum in the ruling class/aristocracy started rolling down the hill with Newt. Once you get a Caeser it's just a matter of time before your Nero shows up.

Nothing is worse than other options though like Chic fil a's mandated "my pleasure"
