LLMs are not advancing enough any more. There just isn’t any more useful human generated text to train new models on. The net is already full of AI generated slop. OpenAI currently spends 2.35 USD to make 1 USD. It’s fundamentally unsustainable.

What enshittification? I haven’t noticed any dark patterns in the Bluesky app.

I’d gladly pay a subscription for a useable service than have ads plastered all over it. It’s infinitely better than the shitshow that is X.

This is happening over US bases in Germany and the UK too. Sure there is a heap of noise over the NJ sightings but to dismiss the signal entirely is a mistake.

Free will is a concept invented by St Augustine to get God off the hook for the garden of eden fiasco. There is nowhere in science that supports the notion of a self somehow separate from the causal nature of the universe.

Yeah, holy shit, like pretending Google are any better.

XRP at least has instant feeless payments. No consumer protection though. Some banks use it for intra-bank transfers.

I’m surprised this is not a bigger story. The implications are staggering.

 

My car insurance through Trade Me (Tower) is about to renew and the new cost is 100% higher. Any recommendations for a new insurer or are we powerless to prevent these increases?

 

"He's blaming the boards and principals and schools for the problem we have, yet he's the one that says, 'Listen we are going to cut lunches'. How the hell is that going to get people into school? He says, 'We are going to cut back the public transport subsidies'. How the hell is that going to get people into schools?

 

Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?
