I mean how the hell do you even negotiate with the US right now. Our words mean nothing, our agreements mean nothing, we're going lock step with isreal who's word means even less. Our definition of "cease fire" means you cease we fire.

Iran would have to be Charlie Brown with the football to keep negotiating.

    Kind of confusing to me. Because personally I have thought the concept of imitating dogs and humans walking, is a potential weak point in robot design. But this? I fail to see it's practicality. It seems, better at, going directly left when it was going forward? The fact that the whole design rolls to move makes it fairly, impractical for any tasks involving moving things or using anything. It can travel on sand, though I'd imagine stairs or even too high of a hill would be implausible.

    It was more of a slowdown actually, or I suppose more accurately a direct attempt at the "give the people what they are asking for and show them why they won't like it".

    In short, the police continued to investigate major crimes. But focus less on trying to catch people in small crimes etc... IE stop and frisk kind of nonsense etc... expecting to come out of it saying "see now look how many major crimes happened because we didn't nip things in the bud", and it ended basically with major crime going down, and people being happier with the police.

    Honestly my thoughts on how I'd actually use AI... versus OpenAI's are exactly the opposite. Honestly I could see a world where a lot of people get an on site LLM server. Plug it in etc... I could actually see that as useful, IE keep it air gapped, and then you can train it off of your e-mails, your house etc..., not trust everything to some outside company. From what I'm gathering from the chinese open source models that sounds very viable.

    Of course the ultimate annoyance is, the datacenter surge is actually taking compute out of regular price ranges.

    Actually annoyingly makes me think of the point in time that electricity itself was at this crossroads, where eddison wanted every house to have a DC generator, while Tesla was pushing for AC transmission to send current from centralized locations

    I mean it sounds pretty rough... and it would seem to me the real problem is they are making it sound like the problem is the existing routers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it basically saying... someone could drop in a battery powered wifi router in your front yard and spy through your walls?

    I mean doesnt even seem fully that. It looks more like the political leanings in right vs left. IE going with my local area... it's quite a lot of broke as hell people singing the praises and trying to say "no they said the new data center will generate it's own power, our prices won't change at all when they add the data center", and "see look it will only use half the water as the large car manufacturing plant we already have that employs half this city".

    I mean looking at it, famous woman who recently got boo'd at a college graduation was a real estate executive, Eric Schmidt I can give that falling into the category, Richard dawkins also recently started on the AI praising train as well and to my knowledge he doesn't have any benefit from firing a ton of people etc... and looking at my areas next doors as the discussion of data centers opening up in our area. It really seems to be the boomers calling Millenials and Gen Z Luddites.

    lol the amount of times I've seen AI do.

    No wait that's wrong try this

    Oh wait that's also wrong that still doesn't work try this.

    No still wouldn't do it.

    On just questions without asking it to correct itself, (which tells me internally they have some kind of.. basically reviewing it's own answers before they go out.

    Honestly I do wonder if we'll get there

    a hello world program would just spin back and forth "Rejected demanded these fixes", Rejected making it more like the original, rejected. retrying

    "you have spent your entire $50,000 token budget... would you like to restock and keep going".
