Cars harm the environment but they are literally essential for society to function.

You take the good with the bad.

Path of Exile 2. I really like that feeling of progress. No other game has that feeling of not wanting to stop playing because you want to see what happens when you get the next skill or weapon or armor.

I can only speak for myself but I didn’t like it because it felt like the same experience over and over. I admit I haven’t played since launch, but back then, i quickly realized all the planets had the same minerals. They had different randomized animals and colour’s but they were generally just the same. And then I lost interest, because I was hoping to be able to find rare minerals, unique items, stuff that wouldn’t exist in other parts of the universe, and perhaps he able to trade it with other players or npcs.

I guess I wanted a different game than what the makers wanted.

Looking at the video now, it still looks like the same basic experience with improved graphics.

This war is about control, not by weapons but by controlling minds. It’s fairly obvious. Social media forms opinions. It’s also full of bubbles where people get reinforcement for their existing beliefs. What people believe doesn’t matter so much, just that their beliefs are shaped by social media.

Social media platforms are controlled by big tech algorithms, so they in turn control what information should surface. On computers and phones, you have survellience apps running (called AI) that collects information about each users private life. This is all combined with other info to build an accurate profile of everyone having a device using social media or the web.

The end goal is to watch everyone, keep them in line. In the west I think it’s mostly used to sell ads, but in other countries like China and Russia, I think it’s more sinister.

Either way, the end goal is control of people. Before, it was control of land and borders.

I wouldn’t put it past the USA to ddos the platform… Would you? China just showed people a world without big tech controlled AI. That’s very very bad for the US tech world, which is completely held up by the Ai hype.

On the other hand, china’s Ai is censored and will not tell the truth about China.

The best option is to self host these models but need machines with a lot of memory.

Yeah. I dont think what we have now is general intelligence. It’s just word prediction models. But they still manage to give an impression of intelligence. I think there will be some big change at some time where Ai models will use some different technology and probably give something closer to actual thinking.

Why is that?

Yeah. I think long term, many advancements in Ai will still need Nvidia chips and it will be better to have more of them still.

It’s up 5% in premarket right now, so… We will see how long they stay down.

They actually have an oracle cloud too. It’s used by some companies… And it’s awful.

Someone has a gun to your head? Because I just stop doing something I don’t like.
