I really hate this headline.

They aren’t wrong 70% of the time.

The study found that they only successfully complete multi-step business tasks 30% of the time. Those tasks were made up by the researchers to simulate an office environment.

This percentage spread for different models is also absolutely massive too, with some coming in at 1% completion and others coming in over 30%.

It’s the lone star state…

Outta 5 possible

Too simplistic to be cynical, just naive.

Pretty naive take on how governments work.

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back… I know they’re far too stupid for that.

There may be individual products that have gone down in price like for example eggs may have returned to more normal pricing from their highs, but that index tracks a standardized set of fairly normal products that people buy regularly and on average the whole shopping bill has gone up every single month.

So yes, they are delulu.

Even the US government is saying consumer prices aren’t going down.

The percentage they’re going up each month has gone down from the inflation bubble we had just recently, but they have still gone up in price every single month for the last 7 years or so.

Unless you’re really old, I wouldn’t bet too hard on that. Things tend to happen quickly once they reach a tipping point.

The Arab spring revolutions were not even two years long and a dozen countries countries with 4 rulers being deposed.

I would absolutely bet money that before I die in 30-40 years the US will have fewer states than it currently does.

Silver lining?

You’re more likely to reach the revolution part of the history cycle faster, and reset the wheel for future generations to also fuck up.

Yea, I think the limits are going to top out around that 300Hz mark, it’s going to be really hard to convince people they can see or feel a difference between 300Hz and 480Hz. I have no preference between 240Hz and 300Hz already.

For computer monitors, I also wouldn’t be surprised if we top out at 4k for regular consumers, with a few niche 8k products available.

Starting?

Israel and Iran have been at war for decades.

that was for actual citizens

The US needs to be rebooted at this point, it’s not working properly for the citizens anymore.

They do not need to be willing to sell, Eminent domain is part of the 5th amendment and government can use it to seize pretty much anything for ‘public use’ but it does call for compensation

Just nationalize SpaceX at this point for “national security reasons”

I could fairly easily ask a human artist to draw me something that would infringe on a copyright for a character they had never even seen before. It would technically be against the law, but given that no other parties know about it, it’s unlikely to ever get caught. The legal problems arise if I use that art in a visible fashion such that the copyright holder would find out, and then it would be me getting sued, not the artist.

A realistic take on the situation.

I fully agree, despite how much people hate AI, training itself isn’t infringement based on how copyright laws are written.

I think we need to treat it as the copier situation, the person who is distributing the copyright infringing material is at fault, not the tool used to create it.

If people are forced to still spend an extra 30% on a wide variety of items, they’re going to have to save that money elsewhere by not buying something.

“privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.”

That’s the wording in the constitution. They just say that undocumented migrants amount to an invasion and they can suspend it.

It’s not like the supreme court is going to override them on that.

It’s not even that entirely

You can’t build X here unless every component is also produced… here. The component factories can’t be built here here until there’s factories building the subcomponents for them, AND a buyer for them here.

A button up shirt needs cotton -> chemical treatment -> dyes -> fabric, base chemicals > plastic pellets -> buttons, AND the machines to do all of those processes. It’s like 7 or 8 different factories just to produce a shirt with buttons on it. Imagine how many factories it is for anything more complex.

Then in comes your point of needing commitment when it’s not even certain for more than a week, nobody is going to build out entire supply chains in that scenario.
