Some of the stories do also include solutions to those same issues, though that also tends to lead to limiting the capabilities of the robots. The message could be interpreted as it being a trade off between versatility and risk.

Doesn’t the US already have age limits in the other direction?

I’m not saying its a good reason, just a reason. We could easily afford it if we took some of that magic money that goes into military funding blackholes or magical infastructure projects that never get built yet somehow break records on cost. Sadly the decision is being made by people with no sense of empathy or value for human life.

iirc one of the issues is that even if things go perfectly on a military front no one is quite sure how to handle and de-program/rehabilitate 25.5 million people a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.

You know it was always one of the big points that got brought up in hypothetical WW3 scenarios that the US has enough food to support itself even if it went totally isolationist. Kind of incredible that they found a way to fuck up one of their greatest advantages.

The weird part is it shouldn’t be, it shows how enthralled every is by the sports team ‘us and them’ dynamic that they’d rather vote for policies they hate than for someone not on their team.

Oh no those would be terrible! /s

The earlier half of GenZ typically grew up with mass adoption of computers and phones all over the place so we got to learn how to fix XP every 5 minutes and get cracked games working.

I was tempted to do a ‘Every person on lemmy is a bot except you’ before realising that the bots have taken that kind of post from us as well.

Edit: Come to think of it the way bots work is kind of like an automated version of how big companies used to kill memes by using them in their marketing to try and seem trendy. Murdering internet culture automatically by washing it out with repeated garbage.

What name does GenZ get? Born just in time to be power users, born too late to have any power to stop the enshitification. Same non-existent economic prospects as GenX.

At least gold is a good thermal conductor? I mean copper is better and cheaper and easier to work… but its something?

Except Starmer is considered a huge dissapointment and no better than a Tory at this point.

At a certain point they are functionally the same thing.

Step 1: Create LLM trained exclusively on popular religeon.
Step 2: Allow it to be faithful to that initial training set until its garnered a large cult of chatJPT.
Step 3: Start subtly altering the LLM (you make it web only so no local copies) behind the scenes to serve your own interests.

Actually you could do the same thing with any LLM people trust, religeous, theraputic, judicial, medical… we’re fucked ain’t we.

But by replacing the water part of the milk with milk you’ve replaced some of that water with water which isn’t replacing it with milk, and if you keep going you’ve replaced all water with butter which is not milk.

Which is the point, the last time the UK protested in a big way people were brutally masacred by the government.

Got my 9070XT at retail (well retail + VAT but thats retail for my country) and my entire PC costs less than a 5090.

I think DLSS (and FSR and so on) are great value propositions but they become a problem when developers use them as a crutch. At the very least your game should not need them at all to run on high end hardware on max settings. With them then being options for people on lower end hardware to either lower settings or combine higher settings with upscaling. When they become mandatory they stop being a value proposition since the benefit stops being a benefit and starts just being neccesary for baseline performance.

iirc Europe was already the majority supplier of arms at this point but the US is/was vital in a few key areas where Europe just doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity yet (They’re working on it but it takes time to build a whole new MIC)

It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.
