Nah. I hate to sound bitter/salty, but all the AI haters are just going to fuel OpenAI’s crusade/lobbying against open source, and we will be stuck with expensive, inefficient, dumb corporate API models trained on copyrighted material in secret because the corporations literally don’t care. And it will do nothing to solve the environmental problems.
There’s tons of research on making training and especially inference more power efficient, on making data cleaner and fairer, and it’s getting squandered from the lobbying against open source that the “AI is all bad” crowd is fueling. All the money to even turn these experiments into usable models is getting funneled away already.
Everyone’s got it wrong, the battle isn’t between AI or no AI, it’s whether your own it and run it yourself, or big tech owns it and runs it. You know, like Lemmy vs Reddit.
So… that’s my rant.
Rule of Israel: all decisions and situations end with the outcome that keeps Bibi in power.
It makes them really easy to predict.
Random recommendation at risk of being off topic, but you have to watch Pantheon (the animated TV series) if you like Lower Decks, assuming you haven’t seen it already.
I just discovered it and… holy heck. It’s incredible, and no one knows about it because the distribution/release is a disaster. It’s honestly some of the best sci fi I’ve consumed anywhere, period.
That polling may change if one of them actually gets their face out there.
…Except for Clinton, or maybe Newsom. They already have a lot of name recognition, and TBH is extremely sad that everyone is polling just about as well as Clinton. Swayable people I know do not like her.
Still you are not wrong. I think Dems are in trouble either way.
