Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.
It’s a common misconception that a “cold wallet” is offline. It’s still on the blockchain like any other wallet, it’s just the keys that aren’t on any network-connected computer.
It appears that in this case hackers managed to trick Bybit employees into entering the keys into a fake UI that gave the hackers access to them.
Why would a Chinese-made AI have American censorship and propaganda in it?
AI can do subtitles too.
Thanks! DFCaverns was kind of my “baby”, and the one I keep thinking I should get back into modding to continue developing. I can’t promise anything, of course, but this is of course fun and encouraging to hear. :) Making DFCaverns Mineclone-compatible was quite a chore back in the day, glad to hear it’s still working!
Oh, neat. Yeah, that’s me. :) Been a couple of years since I’ve picked up the modding pen, but I still remember those days fondly. Just got really busy with life for a while and fell out of the habit.
Amazon is not a startup.
generative ai though? absolutely not, we need to burn it down.
If it’s really not useful then there’s no need to burn it down. It’s expensive to run so anyone using it must just be burning money themselves.
That’s not true, though. I know it’s not true because I’m making extensive use of AI myself, and it is indeed useful. I even run local models for some of the tasks I use AI with. I can assure you it’s not going away because I have all the tools I need to keep on using it indefinitely, even if for some reason the companies producing this stuff all shut down or stopped right this moment.
It may not be useful to you, and that’s fine - use it or don’t, it’s up to you. But it’s not going away because other people do want to use it for various things.
Abolition is simply not going to happen, though. It’s not a realistic goal. AI has proven to be useful and enough technology has been released as open source that it’s going to continue to be developed even if the big obvious targets like OpenAI stop.
Okay, so you don’t collaborate with them, and they carry on developing AI their own way without your input. Probably not going to lead to the outcome you hope for.
This is a problem I see for a lot of the stridently anti-AI commenters I’ve encountered both here and on Reddit; all they want is for AI to not exist, and refuse to engage in any way beyond that. But AI does exist, it’s not going to “go away”, and so by approaching it that way they give up any opportunity to influence it.
I was reading the other day about advances in zinc ion batteries as a possible replacement for lithium ion batteries in applications like this. They’re heavier than lithium ion, which is just fine for energy storage facilities like this, but they retain their capacity through a lot more charge/discharge cycles (the article I was reading said they drop to 80% capacity after 100,000 cycles - if that’s one cycle a day then that’s nearly 300 years) and most importantly for this specific situation they’re not flammable.
Stack Overflow has been toxic for a long time already. It’s one of the things that a lot of people seem pleased to see AI devour.
If it’s just a “toy” then how is it able to have all this economic impact?
Depends which exchange you’re using.
