I think people want material change more than rhetoric. The part of his platform that matters is the whole thing outside of foreign policy. His platform would materially help Palestinians in NYC more than shouting "globalize the intifada" in Cuomo's face would help them spiritually. It would be very entertaining for us but I don't think that's helpful. They're going to keep bringing it up because the only reason to bring foreign policy into a mayoral race is to attack. If he refuses to back down and gets right back in their face, it makes it very easy to draw attention away from his platform and attack him. If he simply lets it roll off his back, addresses the questions as personal attacks, and refocuses on his platform, that will go further. He's already won an primary without having to make it all about foreign policy. If he won on his platform before, he can do it again because that means those people are focused on something other than this.
However, neither confronting it or letting it be helped Corbyn so we might just be at the mercy of something more than rhetoric.
i completely disagree tactically. never play defense
This only works when you have leverage. The only leverage he as is that he won the primary and could win the general. Bravado is downstream from acquiring power.
Hey, we're Jubilee. Our mission is to be the Disney of empathy. We have a great episode for you. 1 person with a clean butt vs 20 people who don't wipe their ass. Let's just have a rational debate about whether wiping your ass is okay or not. We could all learn something about not wiping our asses. Teach the controversy.
xAI, OpenAI, Google, and Meta would sell different narrow and general AI packages as business solutions. It runs your customer service, payroll, scheduling, marketing, etc. It would replace existing software solutions and employees. Functionality would be rented to businesses. If you're developing a mobile app and you need to use AI for some feature, you rent it from one of the big guys.
This is pretty much the same SaaS model that's been used for years. This already happens with internet, servers, cloud storage, etc. It will be AI as a service. What used to happen was that every company had their own servers or data center. Renting that stuff became a new business because 1) Rent-seeking is one of the fundamental ways to make money under capitalism 2)Companies don't want to build and maintain their own servers. If you set up your own server and install Windows, Microsoft only covers the software. If your server breaks or needs work, you have to hire a third party to fix it. If you rent cloud storage from Microsoft, they have to cover everything. This results in more uptime and less maintenance cost for the company.
As all this AI stuff gets better and becomes more ubiquitous, businesses aren't going to want to build and maintain their own models. They will want to rent them just like servers. The AI company will handle all training data and everything. It's going to skip the "setting up your own server" phase that businesses went through in the 70s-10s. It'll go straight from this new thing to SaaS. It already has in a lot of cases.
I don't take the subscriptions at face value. I think a large part of letting people buy access is to generate a little revenue for investors but also for testing. They need a lot of people to stress test these things and find all the problems. The developers can't work in isolation, they need to see how people react to their ideas. So what we have is actually an unfinished product being sold for the privilege of testing it. Once it's finished enough, they won't need as much testing. By that point, the opportunity of selling AI to other businesses and governments will far outweigh letting some lonely person do pillow talk.
Speaking of, think about Grok companion. They're already developing an independent service for AI companionship. When that product is fully developed, they will make more money selling it independently of Grok itself. So it wouldn't be included in your Grok subscription. Grok will just be a part of other products like cars, your fridge, twitter, etc. Therefore there is no need for a Grok subscription. Other companies will do this too, but probably in a more "classy" way. It's only a matter of time before the current subscription tiers are changed and then eliminated completely.
Also important to note that the public will, eventually, lose access to ChatGPT and other LLM platforms as it exists now. Everyone is just beta testing it for these AI companies. When it actually works, consistently, they'll end all public facing services and it will be strictly B2B. That means the only access you have to generative AI will be through Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, etc. Then they can just block usage violations. Therefore no "Hey chatgpt, write me a program to crack games".
You might have some independent access to LLMs you can run locally, but they will be outdated and not as well trained. The big guys will also use AI to keep those options out of search results and make sure they're removed during security scans of your computer. B2B is simply a way more profitable model for software than selling you a $20 subscription for a chat bot.
I was browsing fmhy and saw the section on abandonware games. I was looking through one of the sites listed and found The Crystal Key. It's a sci-fi point-and-click adventure "game" (it just plays videos and the environments are a panoramic image that gives the impression of 3D). I played it when I was like 11 or 12 on Window 98.
I tried playing it on Win 11 and it wouldn't render properly. I set up a Win 98 virtual machine and got to play it. It was such a nice little nostalgia trip. It's actually very short and it rips off the look of Star Wars a lot more than I remember. But it also has a very heavy late 90s design to everything, like some of the level elements look almost like architectural or industrial concepts from the period. The music was also very of-the-time. Almost like Halo in some parts.
It's been compared to Myst, but I never played that series. I'm seriously thinking about building a vintage computer to properly play these kinds of games. I'm having trouble getting the color to work correctly with VirtualBox. I was able to install more advanced drivers to increase bit depth but the game is still a horrible jaggy mess in some areas. I think playing it on authentic hardware will help.
There is a good video that briefly talks about the history of the desktop and how it might shape our thoughts around it (rather than us shaping it to our thoughts). Apple and MS locked themselves to this paradigm as well, so they can't radically change it while maintaining backwards compatibility. They need backwards compatibility because of their business practices and the the practices of their customers. This will end up only being the same old desktop analogy but with a natural language interface trying to bridge the gap between that and whatever the user requests. Probably will create a new layer, a superficial interface, that just manipulates the old desktop UI rather than creating something actually new.
4G was awful for watching videos. I had to use wireless as my main source of internet from 2G to 4G. Increase in speeds is better. 5G was where you could actually watch something (not in HD of course) without it buffering every 3 seconds. Like the way I used to use youtube was to download any videos I wanted to watch. That was less annoying than trying to watch them directly through the site. I would rather wait for the full download and watch it uninterrupted. 5G was my only option up until December of 2023. Well if you don't count satellite internet which is the worse option.
I think the AI shit is exaggerated. Back around 2018-2020 when everyone was hyping 5G there was a lot of "5G is going to enable self driver cars and IOT" like that was going to be its primary use. It's barely even used for that stuff. 6G will probably be the same. Machine learning is probably already implemented for network routing and optimization by ISPs. I don' think 6G will usher in a new age of AI technology anymore than 5G made self driving cars more common.
He asked ChatGPT questions in a way that made it think he's talking about SCP stories. ChatGPT responded with a generated SCP story. But the CEO guy thinks it's real. He thinks that ChatGPT found a shadow organization that erases itself from news, the media, the internet, etc and hunts down people who try to treat LLMs as real AGI. He's basically convinced himself he's being gangstalked.
