politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration says states must "immediately undo any steps" to send full SNAP benefits
2·8 days agoYeah, thats kinda what im getting at. Currently, behind fossil fuels, the most polluting/environmentally unfriendly industry im aware of is ai development.
Full controversial disclosure: ive been studying actual AI since the early 00s. I know what the tech is capable of and im very well versed in it. Llms are a nichely useful tool, but thats it. That is not even close to the max potential for AI. Most of the things the tech bros promise are theoretically possible, but theyre so wildly misleading about it as to basically say that they are just lying. The current AI bubble WILL pop before we see too much cooler stuff, but I am confident that the tech will still be looked into, just at a regular scale instead of being massively blown out of proportion. Eventually it will be like it used to be, with small incremental inprovements in multiple different fields and the occasional breakthrough where someone combines the fields. And this should all be happening without consumers being aware of it, basically. Not that is shiuld be hidden, but they shouldnt be writing news articles about it because real progress is slow. LLMs absorb a shitload of energy and require extreme cooling, but we know thats not a requirement for human level thought because… you dont require any of that.
If you want to actually keep up with the real progress in actual AI instead of tech bro crap or llm crap, follow Two Minute Papers on youtube. Hes far from the only source ive looked into over the years, but he has some distinct advantages over most other ai sources. He does all the paper scouring for you so you can stay up to date on the latest ai progression(again, NOT LLMS, THIS TECH HAS 0 TO DO WITH LLMS. THEY DO NOT SHARE THE SAME ARCHITECTURE, THEY DO NOT RUN ON THE SAME HARDWARE. IT IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.) and he breaks it down succinctly, simply, and without overselling it or any of the other propaganda. He reviews papers that are currently released and checks out the AI behind it. He also handles algorithms which are super cool!

politics @lemmy.world•Zohran Mamdani Provoked a Bipartisan Meltdown
58·11 days agoThat is a thought. I was told that even if Mamdani doesmt really acheieve anything, merely the fact that he was elected on a socialist platform was supposed to serve as proof that socialists are viable to run. The thought made me happy, but now im not so sure. As you state, neither side is really represents what people actually want, and as such anyone like mamdani would have to run under another party, because the democrats would never allow him to run. They did everything short of assassinating bernie to ensure he didnt win, i can only assume the DNC has been bought out and is now actively attempting to hinder America just like the republicans, and the entire debate is just a distraction while the two parties collude to make things worse for everyone. But third party is impossible to win in FPTP. So… we’re still screwed, no? Its nice that we can get him in on a local level, but until we dismantle the entire DNC I don’t see us making any progress since they will actively hinder him and American interests.

politics @lemmy.world•DOJ tells Republicans that Epstein files even worse for Trump than they thought: report
6·11 days agoI think you may be misinterpreting. He did not say it has been proven trump raped little girls.
He stated trump is a rapist, this has been proven is a court of law.
He stated that trump likes little girls. This has been proven time and time again, from trumps comments on his own daughter to trump walking in on children changing for a beauty pageant. Lets not forget “when youre famous, they let you do it”

11·16 days agoRight back atcha. Its not a matter of what you feel, its a matter of what IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING in the days since you stated that. If people dont start rioting, right now, then people are going to starve. Wrap in up in whatever bows and idealism youd like, but yeah, guerilla warfare or death. And its not hypothetical, its happening now.

1·1 month agoNah, im ready for the roundups. Fuck Trump, fuck the administration, and fuck all the corporations and organizations that are deepthroating his gangrenous rot. Each and every one of you will get your under the new regime just as i will get mine. The american people failed to act when you had a chance, and now were all going to suffer for a very long time. Shouldnt have licked the boot.

44·1 month agoNah, the dems are complicit. Anyone with 2 neurons to rub together saw this coming. The reason they didnt prosecute is because theyre busy trying to find ways to secure themselves in the new regime, not antagonise the new god-leader. The Dems are straight up evil, only differentiated from the fascists by the fact that theyre too scared to actually do anything impactful.

politics @lemmy.world•73-Year-Old Republican Senator Disassociates in Middle of Interview
7·4 months agoI think this is what they’re talking about, it wasn’t the same guy.
Im not convinced. Trump has demonstrated time and time again he doesnt need to institute martial law to remain in power. All branches of goverment have capitulated to him and effectively given him the power of a king. I keep seeing “Trump wants violence so he can stay in power” and it really reads as “if you dont want fascism, make sure you roll over when confronted with it”
