Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

this illegally imposed restraint on China's development will surely be the one they can't overcome

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Well if the US isn’t going the legal route now something tells me they’ll do whatever to keep power side-eye-1

The reason closed source models are unoptimized is a way to mislead competitors and attempt to move the competition from one of technological prowess to one of courting investment.

-1 trillion in tech -> a bunch of lemon companies go out of business -> commercial real estate get like 3% cheaper -> real estate market collapse -> Trump tries to loot some country in a war -> thwarted by coalition -> can't afford military anymore -> USD loses its global reserve status -> -1 trillion in global privilege -> collapse of everything else American -> Israel can only be sent hundreds of millions in arms instead of billions -> dissolution of the entity

Funny enough, bullish for bitcoin

Why are free market enthusiasts panicking? I thought competition was supposed to bring about the best results? Or was that just a load of bullshit to let domestic monopolies control everything?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

they are panicking because they backed the wrong horses

What does this mean to me, a overexploited proletarian living in the global south?

not much probably unless your job is combing through datasets to remove CSAM.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

removing CSAM is one of the major hurdles for operating fediverse servers so this could be good for lemmy as a whole

The new LLMs are smaller and more likely to run on hardware available in your country. After all they were developed despite the US chip embargo.

This also means the US might slow down on the new power stations and resulting climate change, but probably not.

Not sure the new tech will actually be useful though.

been saying it for decades: the stock market is a measurement of how rich people feel about the economy, nothing more nothing less

It's at 125 per share as of this post (I think it was like 142 before nyse was opened). https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA/

should've called it "deepsink" as it sinks the US tech giants

This photo of panicking traders with tears in their eyes is the only true bit of art that AI has ever produced ``` 1000012806

For other AI toys I'm really impressed by Hunyuan3d by Tencent as well, its quite the improvement over Micro$oft's TRELLIS, been making side money off fiverr with that trinket since I can rig and it can model even on a rx 580.

a stark look inside the cynicism of the capitalist world's inability to see themselves competing on a global stage
