That’s a weak argument without substance. “No, you!” is not exactly a good counter.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about, which refutes your argument in 1).
That’s a whole different discussion. That intelligence is required to build something has nothing to do with whether the product is intelligent. The fact that you manage to mangle that up so bad is almost worrying.
I’m sorry, but that’s the worst possible conclusion you can get from that paragraph.
Again, think your argument to the end. What would not fall under AI in your world? If A* counts, then literally everything with a simple ‘if’ statement would also count. That’s delusional.
Do actually read the article and the articles linked. Are you really, really implying that a simple math equation, that can be solved by a handful transistors and capacitors if need be, is doing something “typically associated with human intelligence”? Really?
And you’d argue wrong here, that is simply not the definition of intelligence.
Extend your logic a bit. Playing an instrument requires intelligence. Is a drum computer intelligent? A mechanical music box?
Yes, the definition of intelligence is vague, but that doesn’t mean you can extend it indefinitely.
To a certain extent, yes.
ChatGPT was never explicitly trained to produce code or translate text, but it can do it. Not super good, but it manages some reasonable output most of the time.
No, it does not.
A deterministic, narrow algorithm that solves exactly one problem is not an AI. Otherwise Pythagoras would count as AI, or any other mathematical formula for that matter.
Intelligence, even in terms of AI, means being able to solve new problems. An autopilot can’t do anything else than piloting a specific aircraft - and that’s a good thing.
If that’s what you actually intended to type, you might have a stroke.
A finely refined model based on an actual understanding of physics and not a glorified Markov chain.
It’s not inherent in terms of “more store=more fast”.
You could absolutely take older, more established production nodes to produce higher quality, longer lasting flash storage. The limitation hardly ever is space, but heat. So putting that kind of flash storage, with intentionally slowed down controllers, into regular 2.5 or even 3.5" form factors should be possible.
Cost could be an issue because the market isn’t seen as very large.
I still wonder, what’s stopping vendors from producing “chonk store” devices. Slow, but reliable bulk storage SSDs.
Just in terms of physical space, you could easily fit 200 micro SD cards in a 2.5" drive, have everything replicated five times and end up with a reasonably reliable device (extremely simplified, I know).
I just want something for luke-warm storage that didn’t require a datacenter and/or 500W continuous power draw.
Because it’s not using hot steam, but vapor, it’s more like sweating.
The heat exchangers are sprayed with misted water, which evaporates and takes away heat. But the resulting vapor is still only slightly above ambient temperature and can’t be reasonably condensated.
I really wonder what’s going on in the editors minds here.
The entire premise of the article is “All experts say no, but I think yes” - why would anyone about any topic publish this? If it would be an actual debate, maybe some contrarian but actual experts arguing in favor of sentience, you could get into an argument here. But this article is blatant science denial. Climate change deniers and antivaxxers use the exact same approach “facts say X, but my feelings say Y”.
I mean, obviously. They had no other choice after the woke mob and their “slavery is bad, mkay” destroyed the entire workforce market!!!
(/s, just in case)
And you really think “the elites” are the ones buying and selling here?
Yes, they have a lot of wealth in stocks, but usually they simply own a large chunk of their (or their parents) company and the rest is managed by a fund manager. And if you have millions or billions, you don’t need to think quarter to quarter.
What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.
One part is a reverse game of chicken, buy the dippest dip to realize most profit from less dippy dip buyers.
The other part is the assumption that this means the tariffs will never actually come or at least in a much relaxed form.
I mean, “safest” is a superlative, not a positive. It’s perfectly possible that all other pipelines ruptured three times or more.
No, they actually got a pretty good reputation. They’re a big corporation with probably hundreds of devs in their HQ. It’s not unlikely that a whole bunch of devs came into town specifically because of them or were hired straight out of university.
Actually, they might do that.
Otto is generally surprisingly backwards. They still can’t even handle multiple vendors in a single invoice. That means, if you buy five items, but two of them are from independent sellers, you’ll not only pay for shipping three times (somewhat understandable), but you’ll also get three different invoices that you have to pay separately. It’s 2025, and 90% of all software devs in Hamburg have worked for Otto at some point, and they still can’t get their shit together.
No, I’m saying you’re wrong in your understanding of Wikipedia.
Also, I did not miss anything out, your self defined definition is simply so broad that it’s meaningless. Again, what is not AI following your definition? An if statement does not mimic intelligence, especially not human intelligence.
