Social media not adequatly defined in this article. It's hysteria, a buzzword.

The article is just noise without specifying what they're talking about

You can ask it to verbatim produce training data and that takes very little compute for a lot of output tokens

Unless somebody improved on the underlying transformer architecture... Surely AI is smart enough to do it by now

Proof the real genius was in the mathematics not the AI "engineers"

> Neither IRC nor BBS* use algorithms to create feeds of third party content based on user preference,

Both bbs and irc had top user features that encouraged users to post, bbs certainly had third party content sorted and presented to the user by algorithm.

The reason the definition is so vague is because it's largely driven by parental hysteria and can be ignored as such

I feel like theres so much manga that this is the kind of premise you're left with if you don't want to copy someone else

You can pin it down to less than maybe half a dozen cases that made the newsun the UK. I suppose politics has always been reactionary like this and explains why somewhere like Australia which doesn't really have its own culture still has different laws in response to different outrages

> Ofcom were suddenly able to find a "novel reading" when directed to do so

You have discovered politics

Will we still be able to get ipv4 addresses?

Forums are social media. Irc is social media. BBS is social media. They all qualify under your definition.

> To "google" something and digging through the search results manually is very rapidly being replaced by asking chatgpt, for better or worse.

I can see this kind of low level usage as being perfect for local LLMs... So I can't see a market there for openai etc forever.

Are they using the free chatgpt or a paid one?

If you take just this part of the quote...

>"I can't imagine where we're going to be a year from now, three months from now, or even a month from now,"

I'd say he's making an accurate appraisal of his abilities

Quippy, but untrue

It's hard to enslave your fellow man without a bigger stick

This is the downside to nuclear families. Italian families with 3 generations in one house don't have this problem, devices or not

It's parental hysteria. Same as always.

> which leads to great things

Slavery (or getting poorer people to do the work for you) is the central concept of civilization. It cannot be done without it. It's not capital or advertising that makes all this work, it's forcing the poor to work and pay tax that makes the world go round d

In general, technology has always decreased our liberty though

Books are designed to be addictive. People said the same things about books as they say about screens nowadays. I think it's more important to understand the emotional hysteria people get themselves into

If YouTube is social media, anything with a comments section is social media, even the old "guestbooks" of web 1.0 days were social media. It's a pointless term whoever uses it.

> until the planet burns down.

Common misconception. We won't kill the planet even if we tried to. Wed make it too hard to sustain billions of humans, sure. But they are very different things

I think you're giving this a bit too much credence. And I think you also think there's something special about sorting videos by how often they're viewed in a recent timeframe (which is all you need to recreate evil social media algorithm)

I bet it wasn't overwork, it was the fight or flight response being constantly activated for your uncle when he's caring for your aunt who could do anything unpredictably.

> I've seen kids out in public, playing Roblox, off a phone.

Jesus Christ I hope their reckless parents are found and lynched for such irresponsible behaviour. Don't they know screentime causes the child brain to turn into a giant slop box?

But you already had an operating system and you could already code... Did Emacs really give YOU any capability you didn't have before? Don't forget this is a text editor, not an IDE or some general purpose automation harness

You could add lisp to mspaint and mspaint suddenly becomes awesome somehow? I don't follow the logic

In the Linux world, isn't the c compiler necessary for Linux to function?

I would make them fly around helping people and stuff

I quit enjoy it tbf
