And it’s easy to figure out why or at least I believe it is.

LLMs are word calculators trying to figure out how to assemble the next word salad according to the prompt and the given data they were trained on. And that’s the thing. Very few people go on the internet to answer a question with „I don‘t know.“ (Unless you look at Amazon Q&A sections)

My guess is they act all knowingly because of how interactions work on the internet. Plus they can‘t tell fact from fiction to begin with and would just randomly say they don‘t know if you tried to train them on that I guess.

And China a surveillance state. This was a given.

The overlap between climate crisis deniers and preppers is so large it‘s truly baffling. If you ask me most of them are just hobbyists who act a little too seriously about their little passion. It‘s a lot of make believe and very little obtaining practical skills.

Is that the same for all countries though or are you talking about a specific place where that‘s the case? I don‘t know much about the subject but this reads like one of those US specific fun facts that the rest of us can‘t really make use of.

Alright. I think I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Don‘t wanna get too depressed before lunch.

To sadly no surprise to anyone who vaguely follows Austrian politics. Germany is troubled for sure but our southern neighbors are beyond help. I‘ve seen more and more criticism for Germany‘s guilt culture but Austria is what happens if you don‘t reflect on your 3rd Reich past at all.

And there is really no reason to trust it whatsoever. It might feel secluded but in the end of the day, even your „private“ chats are essentially an open forum thread in the technical and legal sense because Discord is basically that: A huge, public forum where everything you say is a public statement. There is no privacy on Discord because that‘s simply not what it‘s for.

Amen to that. Decoupling was all the rage mere months ago and now some people act like China is some sort of savior. That couldn‘t be further from the truth as they have already proven to be unreliable and at times unpredictable.

As far as I know „made in Europe“ where it‘s feasible long term and divertifying other supply chains was the goal and I don‘t see how anything that‘s happening right now would give reason to change course. It will take a little longer, but that‘s no reason to throw the towel.

Interesting political maneuver since the EU already is on track of decoupling from China. It‘s important we do it on our own terms so I‘m not against this. That being said the thumbnail seems very misleading or at least I hope so.

It‘s what this headline wants you to feel but it doesn‘t mean that much if you actually think about it for a moment.

About a election in 4 years? Not really. At least not yet. This isn‘t news worthy in my opinion because it doesn‘t tell you anything about what the country will look like in 4 years.

For what‘s worth it doesn‘t actually matter what potential voters would vote for each and every week when the next election is almost 4 years away. If anything, bold headlines like these only act as a self fulfilling prophecy and are blatant populism. Even a good government can‘t be super popular every single week and the sooner people realize that, the better for democracy. Though I won‘t hold my breath.

They shocked the world with GPT 3 and cling to that initial success ever since with increasing recklessness and declining results. It‘s all glue on pizza from here.

What are you talking about? The USA is quite literally the biggest producer and exporter of agricultural goods in the world and don‘t even get me started on patents and digital services. They are by far the richest country on earth. The only thing China has going for it here is recklessness towards their own people because believe it or not, there are worse places to be than the USA right now. Hard to comprehend, but sadly true.

He didn‘t die. He became more powerful than you could ever imagine.

It‘s about who bleeds out faster and that‘s definitely China. No matter how you put it the USA holds a much stronger hand in this. Tankies can cheer China on all they want but this will hit their economy very hard.

Don‘t get me wrong it‘s a moronic dispute with no winners other than the occasional insider trading in the White House. And some say that‘s the point. However the way China handles this they just might be the biggest losers in the end. In order to save face, China risks losing everything.

Not much of a backstab when you get 90 days to figure out how to deal with tariffs and decide to… not do anything? I hope the free, democratic world comes together while China and the USA have their little stalemate.

I would be a lot more motivated if I could use my salary to build something for myself rather than just get by.

A lot of posts here lately are kind of silly ideas that China tries to sell as the next big thing because it‘s cyberpunk. We should be more cautious about these stories.

Jesus F. Christ the BS that gets posted and upvoted in this community is getting more ridiculously Chinese propagandist by the day. Freaking air taxis? Really? Germany has like a dozen of those dumpster fire startups that chew up subsidies like it‘s no tomorrow (because for them there really isn‘t).
