PopeBeanie replied to the topic China just won the AI wars. Wall Street panics! in the forum Science 1 year, 4 months ago
This is a good time to mention a kind of “pollution of AI” that’s been said to be possible. That is, when one AI gets all its data from other AI, errors and hallucinations can compound.
I wish I had the time to get into these stories (and add to the AI group), but I’m in the middle of big life change.

I’m not so sure the “AI war” is over so soon. DeepSeek being open source, i.e. not proprietary code, competitors can learn from its design. The story, other than about stock market realignment is about a realignment of how LLMs can be developed and marketed because of the sudden drop in development prices. So in my opinion, the lower costs of…[Read more]

I’ll bet you’ve seen this one before. In case you’re feeling down recently, this might help? (I did a search to see if it’s been linked to here before, but I didn’t see one.)
Turn on captions, and set translation to Auto, English.
And then from a mature therapist’s perspective…

I think I watched the trailer before because of Natalie being in it, but didn’t follow through. The audio effects alone were “manipulative”, and I mean it sets people up for dread. Very effectively, IMO. I’m just not into that. But I do generally like dark movies, especially dark comedies.
So “no” to your question again. This movie is obvious…[Read more]

Not for me. But maybe people who often suffer from panic attacks? Many people’s normal condition is to never feel like they’re in control. Plus loss of control can be kinda contagious at times, contributing to mass hysteria. I think people like Trump know how to trigger it.
Can we count people prone to psychosis?
If the answer to your question…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 5 months agoThe middle one of those links states “Still, the assaults appear to have little to do with the attacker’s gender identity, according to documents filed with the family’s lawsuit.

No trans woman has assaulted a woman in a bathroom. This equates to the Hawaiians eating people’s pets.

NEWS NEWS NEWS!! Current Events and Favorite News Sources 1 year, 5 months agoI like SAN because of their attempt to give unbiased news, and sometimes point out biased “news” as in the following video. I think the biases are obvious to most of us, so it seems to me the question is, why do people keep watching and supporting these news orgs?
In any case, I avoid watching news more these days, and rely more on either short…[Read more]
