bamboozled··on Tesla Roadster
So regulating the automobile industry is neurotic ?

Stupid Europeans (and Australians) for protecting pedestrians, what a bunch of woke pussies ?

Apparently the thing used in the flying video was a "different car" to the actual car that drives.
bamboozled··on Tesla Roadster
I read that the car used in the demo was actually a hundreds of kilograms, nothing like the real cars weight of ~ 2 ton

Nice way to insult Lamborghini ?

I thought carbon fiber wasn't good with pressure, hence OceanGate Titan implosion
bamboozled··on I know why the mathematicians weep
I don't really know but I can see two obvious outcomes.

1. Sam Altman et al owns all money, or power and all labor.

2. AI becomes cheap and ubiquitous, everyone "owns it" and we can see the contents of the sausage and modify it as required.

Mathematicians are uniquely placed to help avoid 1 because AI is based on math & algorithms.

bamboozled··on We are entering a period of overlapping crises
We also have efforts to save the environment too though. So I agree it's grim, but it's not all grim.

I personally disagree , humans have for Millenia ruined eco systems, made things go extinct etc.

Fires majorly destructive for example. Humans did a lot of environmental damage with that over the years

bamboozled··on I know why the mathematicians weep
For me the most obvious conclusion is, use your maths skills and get into open source AI.

Make AI as cheap and accessible to as many people as possible and we will likely be much better off.

The more people empowered by the tech the less like you will be “redundant” in the way you describe. You will own the important tools only the techno oligarchy own today…

Would you feel the same if you were a part owner of OpenAI? I bet you’d feel excited about the money you’re about to make ?

bamboozled··on Starlink limit hits Ukraine's drones
All the energy in the world, doesn't make any kind of Ukrainian genocide ok.

Ukraine needs to defend itself, and that is all.

bamboozled··on Starlink limit hits Ukraine's drones
Ironically all of this is also making Ukraine stronger, more able to attack European targets.

1) If Russia ever did get control of Ukraine, they would be much closer and much more armed to attack more of Europe.

2) If Urkaine ever has a change of heart towards Europe / hostile leadership is elected, you now have an extremely capable, strong, well experienced fight force on your doorstep.

Really supporting Ukraine is the best option.

It's really hard for people to remember this...for some reason.
bamboozled··on Do Frameworks Matter Anymore?
Yes because they give AI agents direction and so they can do better work.

exactly
bamboozled··on Google told to halt work on datacentres in Finland over environmental concerns
Yes because there is enough pre-developed land that could be used for such projects.

You're not saying much...

bamboozled··on Google told to halt work on datacentres in Finland over environmental concerns
This is the correct way to frame it.
bamboozled··on A plastic once thought harmless may be fueling fatty liver disease
Ok but it's plastic, and not cooper ?
bamboozled··on Google told to halt work on datacentres in Finland over environmental concerns
I said incalculable loss because the DC will replace something that helped cool the planet with something that will heat it. I wasn't talking about bio diversity, I'm talking about the boot in the face during climate crisis.
bamboozled··on Google told to halt work on datacentres in Finland over environmental concerns
So like a days revenue for Google at an incalculable loss for the environment and living things ?
bamboozled··on Bot traffic from Yandex
That's a shame
bamboozled··on Bot traffic from Yandex
Get with the times, gramps
bamboozled··on Bot traffic from Yandex
I just searched "blyat" and it worked, so?
bamboozled··on Bot traffic from Yandex
I'm going to be really interested how much this cleans up the internet, I mean the damage is done if you read comment sections on youtube etc, but let's see how long the BS persists.
bamboozled··on A plastic once thought harmless may be fueling fatty liver disease
Sounds so much like the arguments for asbestos.
bamboozled··on A plastic once thought harmless may be fueling fatty liver disease
I thought about doing this but then realized that there is basically zero chance there is copper all the way to my house, so yeah, I gave up.

I actually saw the plumber dig up the mains that ran to my place and it was pex.

bamboozled··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
For the time being.
bamboozled··on OpenAI, the Partition Principle, and Mathematics
It won't be like that, it will just divide the scientific community. The vibers and the people who do the work.

I see it in my job now, there are people who do the work and know what's going on, the people who actual get shit done. Then there are the people who just leach of everyone else, vibe and have a bunch of prototypes adding no real value.

bamboozled··on OpenAI fires three safety researchers for "mishandling research information"
Nuclear war is inevitable if we don’t disarm. It will happen, between Trump and Putin I’ve meter felt less safe with regards to nuclear warheads being deployed.
bamboozled··on OpenAI, the Partition Principle, and Mathematics
Some people are having fun doesn't negate the rest of the issues with this sort of thing.
