Except it’s not comparable because we literally have general/true intelligence right now… it’s just not artificial. There is no radical breakthrough needed. We know it’s possible. We just don’t know how.

Teleportation is not possible as far as we know, and backwards time travel isn’t either. That’s not comparable to true intelligence, which already exists, just not artificially.

But toads are frogs

Those other things aren’t the bubble though, the bubble is about generative AI, not other machine learning methods

But cars freak me out…

The only reason I walk around them is because I have to, not because I want to

I dunno, like constantly?

Here’s the top result on Google https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/windows-11/nvidia-points-finger-at-windows-update-microsoft-patch-blamed-for-pc-gaming-issues

That’s ok, a Windows update will break the drivers anyway

Some people I know have been using “sophont”, as their version of this

This bubble sure

But our long-term prospect as a civilization…? Much less certain. If systems don’t get replaced by something that works we will end up in an overconsumed climate ravaged neofeudualist cyberpunk style hellscape

Everyone is a cog in the dang machine. That’s why people criticize capitalism as a system so much

And it’s going to be our downfall

The original owners retained full creative control though. It would have been fine if Krafton didn’t try to fuck them over

And for the steel engine you’d need an advanced forge as well as the raw minerals with sufficient purity. As well as either coal or tons of wood

I mean, sure, but you can also synthesize plastic bags from alcohol (ethanol -> ethylene -> polyethylene). There’s a lot that changes inside chemistry

Everything is political

And FOSS is explicitly political. It’s open-source free software. What do you think it is? It doesn’t exist in a vacuum

Burden of proof, generally

At least twitch is a bit different than YouTube in that the culture there it’s normal for people to pay and donate to streamers. Even though the owners still suck massively, of course

If you’re concerned about the site shutting down, seed some of their torrents from their site so that it’s easier to re-launch it if it happens

10% of all crashes is definitively a brag. Crashes due to faulty hardware/bitflips is rare rare, generally I would expect that percentage to be less than 1% in any complex app

It’s something to do with the lack of fats and a lot of sugar in apples, right?

When I’ve consumed alcohol, about the last thing I usually want is something sweet. But I would absolutely love something greasy. I’m sure it’s something with how the alcohol affects the body
