I agree. I'm generally pretty indifferent to this new generation of consumer models--the worst thing about it is the incredible amount of idiots flooding social media witch hunting it or evangelizing it without any understanding of either the tech or the law they're talking about--but the people who use it so frequently for so many fundamental things that it's observably diminishing their basic competencies and health is really unsettling.

And if he doesn't walk it back, it effectively collapses the economy so not like market investments will mean jack shit anyhow

It's kind of mind blowing how dismissive of the ACA people are, even those who were aware before it went into effect. It wasn't by any means what it should have been, but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.

Immigration judges aren't judicial judges, they are what are called administrative judges and do fall under the executive branch. That said, there is a lot of administrative law and procedure that is certainly still getting fucked by Trump/maga.

Daggerheart is not at all a PbtA game, though it borrows elements. It borrows pretty heftily from a lot of predecessors besides 5e, like pbta, fitd, cypher/numenera, and SWRPG/Genesys. With imo the last one sharing the most DNA.

Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that's what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They're just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we're just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.

A quick search turns up that alpha fold 3, what they are using for this, is a diffusion architecture, not a transformer. It works more the image generators than the GPT text generators. It isn't really the same as "the LLMs".

It's interesting to me that NYC, Jewish, and gay/lesbian all had the same wildly incorrect estimate on average.

This...is an example of laws actually being applied to a wealthy corporate actor exactly as they are and have been applied to random ass individuals? What are you talking about.

Also, patents literally predate the US' founding, and copyright is hundreds of years old, moreover IP rights are enshrined in the constitution. Again, like, what???

What? No, this is just basic common sense law being applied as one would expect. They literally pirated shitloads of books via torrent. That's open and shut infringement and always has been. This doesn't apply to scraped text data you're licensed to access, or purchased books they digitized or purchased in digital form. It just finds that, no, you cannot torrent without license volumes and volumes of copyright protected material, even if your eventual user of it may be otherwise treated as fair use (or, imo, not at all infringing).

I think that pre-Israeli zionists literally used the slogan of "Arabs out!" might have contributed to early 20th century suspicions that zionism was a fundamentally invading and colonial ideology. But that's just me.

It won't tell us what to do, it'll do the very complex thing we ask it to. The biggest issues facing our species and planet atm all boil down to highly complex logistics. We produce enough food to make everyone in the world fat. There is sufficient shelter and housing to make everyone safe and secure from the elements. We know how to generate electricity and even distribute it securely without destroying the global climate systems. What we seem unable to do is allocate, transport, and prioritize resources to effectively execute on these things. Because they present very challenging logistical problems. The various disciplines underpinning AI dev, however, from ML to network sciences to resource allocation algorithms making your computer work, all are very well suited to solving logistics problems/building systems that do so. I really don't see a sustainable future where "AI" is not fundamental to the logistics operations supporting it.
