The USSR had 100s of nuclear reactors, yet the only meltdown was in the only nuclear plant that raccoons had access to.

Wait they introduced the most mischievous animal in existence to the place where they’re trying to contain the worst nuclear accident in history?

What was the results of the experiment?

They’re not non-native, but I’d love to introduce more mountain lions if they could be adapted to this sprawl. There’s way too many deer and feral cats around here.

Pointing out that your on a sock puppet known for doing wrecker shit is not doxxing.

This is Dronerights alt trying to be a wrecker.

Why do you keep deleting and recreating the post?

This is DroneRights alt btw.

This is a droneRights alt btw.

That’s a cop-out. Why else would the companies agree to a fine for every bulb that exceeded a certain lifespan?

Wait until you find out why the lifespan was so low in Africa during that time

1923, virtually every capitalist country in the world had just invaded the USSR 5 years ago, Japan only pulled out in 1922.

The USSR being gone only becomes shocking post WWII when they went from an agrarian nation wracked by civil war and famine, with zero tractor factories to sending 100,000 tanks into Germany 20 years later to putting a man in space 20 years after that.

They’ve got blast chillers, that are like air fryers/convection ovens, but cold.

skeuomorphism

The only time the chunkiness of grafting visual clutter and UI elements from a machine that was designed with mechanical constraints and older use cases/capabilities makes sense is if users will not have time to learn the UI and already learned another UI.

Using knobs you have to turn with the mouse with a wooden background instead of volume slider+number field because that’s what was on some piece of audio equipment from the 1900s just makes the software awful to use. It has no place in specialist audio software the user is expected to spend hours using.

I always liked the Nostromo’s design.

How much do you think hotels pay for mattresses? Probably a lot less than you.

It’s got all my addons.

I disagree about the coherency.

Coherency requires relating symbolic meanings. AI just uses statistical analysis.

Consider if you were locked in the national library of Thailand. You don’t speak Siamese, and any pictures or bilingual dictionaries were removed.

Given a thousand years, you could look at the patterns and produce text similar to what someone who writes Siamese would write, but there’s still no coherency because you cannot connect the meaning behind any of the words.

That doesn’t necessarily mean your outputs are useless though, someone who does read Siamese can have you generate outputs until you print out something they can infer a coherent thought from, but you’re fundamentally unable to be trained to do that yourself.

If a human being takes people’s work and pieces it together in a way that resembles other works without using any LLM/AI or automation tool, is the final result content theft too?

We’re getting into ethics territory. IP is a social construct and we live under capitalism, our model for determining what is and isn’t theft should be selected by what supports artists and consumers against capitalists.

they only see the AIs as content thieves.

AI is a method of content theft, it takes other people’s work and pieces it together in a way that resembles other works, without any actual coherency.

I don’t like that it churns out slop that displaces actual content.

I also don’t like the way it’s sped up enshitification of google and news sites. I didn’t think it could get worse than pages of listicles written by disinterested journalists paid fuckall to churn out 10 a day, but now you have chatGPT churning out 100 completely useless articles a day.
