You can get an uncensored local version running if you got the hardware at least

Yeah, It’d be ideal for FOSS AR to exist, and I would really love for that kind to be established

AR pretty much will happen, in my opinion as someone who roughly works in the field. It’s probably going to be the next smartphone level revolution within two decades

I’m not commenting on whether it would be good or bad for society, especially with our current societal situations and capitalism and stuff, but I’m confident it will happen, either way, and change the word drastically again

I mean, in the end, I think it’s literally an unsolvable problem of intelligence. It’s not like humans don’t “hallucinate” ourselves. Fundamentally your information processing is only as good as the information you get in, and if the information is wrong, you’re going to be wrong. Or even just mistakes. We make mistakes constantly, and we’re the most intelligent beings we know of in the universe.

The question is what issue exactly we’re attempting to solve regarding AI. It’s probably more useful to reframe it as “The AI not lying/giving false information when it should know better/has enough information to know the truth”. Though, even that is a higher bar than we humans set for ourselves

Ooh, nice, thanks!

Yes exactly, so when they call it a “total heart replacement” I’d like to have clarification on it, so that I know how excited I should get

It’s frustrating when articles on new innovations don’t go into details about them at all except just “it exists” pretty much

It would be nice if the article said if the artificial heart includes functions such as pumping harder in response to exercise and such, because it isn’t entirely clear if it does

Maybe it’s implied, but I feel it should be explicitly mentioned

But he does have that lack of morality to at least try

He got terminal j k rowling disease 😔

No, I live in the EU, the same capitalistic problems exist here, they’re just slowed down a bit due to social democracy. But don’t get me wrong, the fundamental issues are here just as much as anywhere else on the globe

Capitalism is not directly an ideology by itself, no, but it is a massive fundamental part of a given ideology. There’s a reason most ideologies revolve around the economic system, because it’s so pervasive in everything we do. From the things we do every day, to the way we interact with others, to the way we get access to resources and services we need and want, to where we live, to how we think

What you need to keep in mind, is that under capitalism there will always be a profit incentive to undermine the system for even further profit. This is what collapses civilizations, this is what makes society fall apart in the long run

Making a capitalistic economy work for the benefit of everyone, for the people, is like trying to swim upstream all the time, forever. It would be much much more internally consistent to just have a river you swim downstream with. In other words, an economy based on cooperation, not competition. A civilization based on competition is almost an oxymoron, civilization itself is fundamentally a cooperative environment. Why do we tack competition on top of that?

Regarding the capitalism part

I’d say that what we see today is the logical conclusion of capitalism. In a way it’s a broken system, it just takes time to collapse. But growing wealth inequality and consolidation of power are inherent problems in capitalism, and we were always going to see times like this. I mean, for further example, look at climate change and how it’s damn near impossible to actually solve the problem

It’s more that there is little political will for an alternative system, but don’t get me wrong, if humanity wants to survive in the long run, there is no easy way out. I seriously do think that, either humanity makes a global economy that serves people, and not capital, or we will self-destruct due to systemic incentives of the profit incentive

We really are at the point where doing what the allies (US) did in WW2 is unacceptable content huh?

Mockery of history

I can tell you that, no, you cannot always “just bounce back”. Maybe you can, good for you, but that does not apply to everyone

Always been told that one-dimensional characters are boring and unrealistic

…and yet here we are

People are still fucking saying that? I thought after literal Nazi salutes they’d finally realize we were right all along

Densely populated isn’t a problem for everyone (I like dense), and the pollution isn’t as bad as it used to be, right?

The authoritarian part is a major major issue of course, but my layperson perceptions of the material conditions of China is that it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, and is getting better

And another upside, good public transit

I don’t even understand what people buy so often. I can easily go a month without buying a new physical item that’s not like, food
