If I were to guess, I'd say they're trying to sweeten up to the reform crowd and address their bigoted rage to try and take the wind out of Russian Backed PM Farage next election.

The problem, of course, is that all them seething boomers will always just be told what the next thing they're angry about is. So it's pointless. The global rise of the hateful fascist avalanche has already begun, and it's impossible to reason with.

In theory, could you then just register as an AI company and pirate anything?

Wait, does he think that Elon has to fly the ship up there to pick them up...?

Yes, please. The story, cast, and setting of 6 are so damn good.

I absolutely love that we built a wind farm off the coast of his golf club in Aberdeen and he's been raging about it ever since.

Pro-life crowd really trying to murder as many children as they can. That's crazy. Good luck America.

This isn't technically the trolly problem, sorry to be pedantic. But the trolly problem is not in the deaths either track would cause, but in the decision to actively pull the lever and make yourself responsible for the outcome. Inaction means allowing what will be to be.

Eg, if the train is heading towards three people, and you can pull the lever to send it towards one, congratulations, you saved two lives. BUT you just made yourself responsible for the murder of one. Whereas before, you would not have been responsible for the death of the three.

Doesn't matter how dressed up the problem is, involvement means making yourself responsible for murder.

It could be used for amazing things, but it's currently in that phase where it's a rapid frenzy to make anything, regardless of moral and ethical implications, just to cash in before it inevitably gets monopolised.

Let's be real, If any AI was going to turn into skynet, it would be an AI trained on twitter data.

I love the missing contextual steps in going from 1 person tied to a train track, to that person seemingly holding off a rapidly approaching train with a minigun while 1 million people attempt to escape.

All these different, more extreme variations of the trolly problem seem to be missing the point of it. It's not about the deaths, it's about making the decision to be responsible for those deaths.

To rearrange the premise. If the person was a doctor, and three patients (tied to track A, current path) needed organs to live, and only one person, (Track B) had those organs, should the doctor make the conscious decision to sacrifice the person on track B to save the others?

The people on track A will die without the organs, that is already happening, and the doctor has no involvement in those deaths. However, by getting involved and consciously sacrificing the person on track B, the doctor has now committed murder and taken responsibility for the situation.

I would be surprised at the absolute stupidity of that, voting for the absolute corpo party in some bizarre protest, but you guys already voted him in for a first term so nothing is really surprising when it comes to the US anymore.

 

I'm looking for a portable SSD drive for my Macbook Pro. It's an older model, being the 15" retina, mid 2015, but even though it's begin to show signs of ageing, it still does what I need it to.

Which is mostly hobby audio recording/production. As it has a fairly limited 250gb internal SSD, I have to make use of external drives for archive files and time machine backups.

At the moment, I have offloaded my Logic Pro sounds library, as well as the numerous sample packs, project files, and plugins, onto an external HDD to save space, but as it is an 8TB powered HDD, really I would rather just keep it as my home archive/backups (the reason I bought it), instead of carrying it around as part of my portable recording setup. Which always feels a little too risky.

Does anyone have any recommendations for external SSDs that would suit my purpose? And should I stick with USB 3, or should I be looking into Thunderbolt connections for working off of? (I am a little dim when it comes to this stuff)

I would likely only need 250gb at minimum, but in the region of 500/1TB would give me some extra wiggle room.

 

Don't get me wrong, I will probably cave at the last minute and vote SNP again for a number of reasons. Mostly, being supportive of a number of their progressive policies that I have benefited from over the years, and also because my constituency is a two horse race between them and the Tories who I will never vote for. Though the SNP are probably now at their lowest point in years since they finally managed to oust Sturgeon.

I will also never vote Labour, they have no identity here and during the 2019 election they were campaigning for the Tories to oust SNP here, so 100% fuck them too.

I once voted for Lib Dem and we ended up with the catastrophic Clegg/Cameron coalition (though due to FPTP my vote didn't matter there.)

I would like to vote for Green, but it would be a wasted vote here.

It's just bizarre to me that Westminster's voting system is such that a vast majority of votes in the UK are binned, how is this considered normal?

Sorry for the rant, but I am just so incredibly disillusioned with politics in this shitehole of a country but absolutely refuse to be passive about it since that is what they want us to be.

 

I've been toying with this idea for a while and made a few attempts following tutorials with some very basic coding skills, but honestly I find a lot of the resources and information quite overwhelming to take in sometimes so thought I would ask you guys with more experience here instead!

I have ADHD and often find myself juggling many creative tasks from writing music, writing fiction, graphic design, etc all the time. I find the "load" of all of these different spinning plates in my brain to be a lot to hold onto at times and have found the benefits in using ChatGPT for simplifying things or even just working through my own thought processes, and wanted to take this further.

To my knowledge, Chatgpt has a limited memory/recall ability, and after particularly lengthy conversations, it is unable to recall information from the beginning and starts guessing. Certainly with GPT 3.5 anyway. I also have never been too comfortable sharing much in terms of my creative projects with GPT for privacy reasons.

I have been trying to figure out if a localised model such as GPT4all or OLlama would be able to function better for my needs.

As an example, one of my largest projects is a fantasy fiction novel where I have spent so much time worldbuilding that my notes are quite extensive, and the connections between aspects can be difficult for me to keep track of and can sometimes result in me writing contradictions and having to spend time fixing my own errors. I do have StableDiffusion on my PC that I use to generate artwork to help me visualise people/the world (not intended for publication, obviously, I'd hire a real artist for that) and a fair bit of experience with it.

With GPT4all, or an equivalent, would it be possible for me to train a model on all of my notes and information, saved in a separate document, that I can discuss/collaborate with the model, keeping everything private, offline, and without having the model "forget" things?

Apologies if this is a really basic question that I have turned into a wall of text. But any insight you guys might have, or structured resources you can point me towards would be brilliant.

 

Privacy concerns are a very popular and valid talking point on Lemmy, so I would like to gather your thoughts and opinions on this. (Apologies if it's already been discussed!)

Would you support this? Would it work or even be viable? (If it could somehow overcome the rabid resistance from these big companies). What are your thoughts?

Personally, I'm getting more and more agitated at the state of this late stage global capitalism, where companies have the gall to ask you to pay or subscribe to their products, while they already make money from you for selling your data. It's been an issue for a long time now, but seems to really be ramping up.
