1,400,000,000,000

I used to be amazed at how much a billion was, but this many 0s makes my head explode.

These must be bubble inflated costs to match the bubble inflated revenue.

Is Zelenskyy wanting pre 2022 borders or pre 2014 borders?

With due respect, you have not understood how snake oil is detected.

Yup. This was almost science. It’s just lacking measurements and repeatablity.

As does Bob. I’m not sure what the specific point you are trying to make here. Do you want longer before the twist is revealed? Because this conversation already let that cat out of the bag.

As mentioned above, it could be a Ukraine drone gone wrong. Or North Korean. Or Chinese. Or Alien.

I would argue he humanity lasts much longer, only losing it after a lot of generational drift.

Only the more recent TV show. The original westworld film was more like Terminator.

I would pick blade runner as the classic bot / human confusion.

Different book, but try We are legion (we are Bob)

Genetic traits explains a fair amount of physical attraction.

This is a 2005 desktop. I can’t even get it past the bootloader. Ideally I would run Linux on it headless, but i can’t even get to that stage.

My GPU failed on my old (vista) PC and can no longer boot. Should I throw it away?

What a crepe week.

The indigenous species have priority to exist.

Your Dropped link, but the data is not clear.

Here we can see that USA gives less militarily and financially.

The seed for the random number generator isn’t usually exposed to the user. Also the AI service providers regularly update the model and/or weights, producing different outputs.

If you are running your own LLM on your own hardware you can guarantee repeatablity, but that’s not what your average Joe does.

So far I have semi-competent voice transcription

Lucky you. When I use voice transcription my English gets automatically translated into Welsh.

Agreed. The word “patterns” is an important qualification. LLMs are great for one off tasks, but not as part of a repeatable process.

Depends on your use case. Adding 0.000001*rand() to a large number retains the functionality as a calculator.

Your argument that AI isn’t useful may be valid, but claiming that AI is not repeatable is false.

Even as a tool it lacks predictability / reproducability

If you use the same seed on the same model with the same weights you get the same results.
