71·4 days agoThis isn’t even about competency really as the cost of AI is being artificially depressed through all of these businesses running at a loss. It might be insane to stick in a blender with US labor statistics. Hopefully not the kind the WH uses?
There are a lot of different things falling under the umbrella of AI. You’re right to be skeptical of an algorithm’s ability to estimate another algorithm’s ability in practice. They’re testing how well the buzzword tech can move the needle on numbers the fed obsesses over. Really pigeonholing the tech into profitability. Best uses of this tech will be in balancing electricity flows through the country, with inputs including population + industry usage, weather patterns & other renewable energy variables (these are very much a social good but you can already hear capital hissing at the thought). Humans already operate many cybernetic systems that turn on volition, with inputs adjusted to make them exploitative. Streamlining them is going to rip the balls right off for sure. As I often quote Michael Parenti by recently, “You’re stupid if you think they’re stupid,” it goes nicely with “the purpose of a system is what it does.”

2·4 days agoI’m sure there is plenty of chaff to cut in finance and healthcare etcetera, in my heart I want to believe in a coming Burger Decimation, but US labor statistics are absolutely cooked. Having read practically nothing about the model they’re using, I would appreciate if anyone can tell how accurate the model they are using really is.

Google@lemdro.id•Google doesn't want to be held responsible for OS-level age assuranceEnglish
1·5 days agoYeah, it’s something that made me think of the age of the operating system itself, since that’s been a discussion recently with Motorola.
To get imaginative, in a mode pf production beyond capitalism, though, I think the device level age locking would be pretty sick. I get that a lot of people had what they consider helpful formative experiences on the internet, but hearing about them, I think they are just nostalgic and those experiences weren’t as valuable as they imagined.
Many will disagree with me because they haven’t considered this is the only way to let adults play counter-strike without the damn kids in the way.

2·5 days agoI’m sure it’s just some kind of buzzword, but why is the term “sovereign” now a part of this? Really rubs me the wrong way considering Google is encircling Africa in cable.

5·5 days agoUkraine and Israel are military allies. They’re also both supplied by the US military industrial complex.
I must ask the inspiration behind your choice of name

1·6 days agoI got scared off by the interface, I might give it a second try. My solution to the issues of COMAPS is to heavily bookmark geolocations in other apps. Resorting to proprietary solutions for emergencies (Yandex is pretty great outside countries like the US which do not like them).

8·6 days agoBy brigade, they mean actual forces sent by reddit to Ukraine. They were some of the first people wiped out by a missile strike in training. As mercenaries are not afforded humanitarian privileges like soldiers.

Meta@lemdro.id•Meta wants to get into the electricity trading businessEnglish
1·6 days agoWhat a great idea. All of these companies should just pass electricity back and forth until resistance gets rid of it. That seems right up their alley.

The idea the Graphene devs are toxic doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. People just don’t respond well to their critiques and think a media dogpile will be less energy.
