You can absolutely leave and fund a “good” company, good luck getting anywhere.

If the product has value then people will buy it*

Humans have always created jobs, we love em, can’t get enough of em, in a capitalist system if people want to buy human made goods and services and those systems are profitable then there will be jobs for those people

This isn’t a communist dictatorship where you will be forced to buy government sponsored AI produce and no other choice is given to you

*I assume the products would have little logos on them like “non-gmo, organic, human made and farmed fruits!” etc

That can’t be possible, if they fire all their workers and produce AI slop then we will simply start a new company with human workers that doesn’t.

This isn’t communism we can simply start a new business at any time for any reason, with or without AI

i have noticed that there are two competing narratives in the leftwingosphere:

A) ai is 100% slop garbage and a giant waste of electricity, pumping out garbage images with multiple hands and the text is nothing but hallucinations that can’t even count the number of r’s in “strawberry”

and at the same time

B) AI is going to take all our jobs and we will all be homeless and poor while tech billionaire CEOs turn us into slaves

few niche uses? it has heaps of uses that aren’t niche at all

perplexity.ai is a better search engine than any current ones and that’s about as mainstream a use as you can get

So the idea with this comment:

The number of people repeating “I bet it won’t tell you about Tianamen Square” jokes around this news has - imho - neatly explained why the US tech sector is absolutely fucked going into the next generation.

is that people have misplaced their concern, not at the fact that it’s censored but that the US has lost the technology high ground and won’t get it back for at least a generation?

ngl I’m still confused

what the tech they made can actually do

It’s AI, it does AI things, is it because China can now do the things we do (coding/development/search queries etc) that are just as good as America that it’s a problem?

I’m slow, what’s the point? how does people joking about the fact China is censoring output explain

why the US tech sector is absolutely fucked going into the next generation

they are building a plant in Arizona, but i doubt it’ll ever be as good as Taiwan can do, not just because Taiwan has the skills but if Taiwan doesn’t have this then what’s the point of protecting it? It’s sort of a way to say, if you want to to continue to access the best chips in the world you should protect us from China

Think might be this:

What is distillation?

Distillation is a means of extracting understanding from another model; you can send inputs to the teacher model and record the outputs, and use that to train the student model. This is how you get models like GPT-4 Turbo from GPT-4. Distillation is easier for a company to do on its own models, because they have full access, but you can still do distillation in a somewhat more unwieldy way via API, or even, if you get creative, via chat clients.

Distillation obviously violates the terms of service of various models, but the only way to stop it is to actually cut off access, via IP banning, rate limiting, etc. It’s assumed to be widespread in terms of model training, and is why there are an ever-increasing number of models converging on GPT-4o quality. This doesn’t mean that we know for a fact that DeepSeek distilled 4o or Claude, but frankly, it would be odd if they didn’t.

Current EV batteries are not even close to being suitable for grid energy storage

What do you mean?

https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2024-11-15/vehicle-to-grid-v2g-electric-vehicle-technology-soon-here/104498552

It can definitely store more than enough to power a household over night, for some people potentially a week, If I use 10kwh a day and have an 80kwh+ size EV battery it will definitely provide me with enough cheap power for a week and complimented every time the sun comes out

I still don’t understand why there aren’t great big fat energy pipes connecting Europe to Algeria and getting in a whole ton of that year round cheap sun energy

Lemmys funny, they’ll bitch about reddit being a circlejerk but keep downvoting reality

What exactly is there to defend or deflect, LLM’s are useful for some things and not for others, this is well known

what the fuck is this shit
