I know computability theory, and I am very familiar with the halting problem. A human cannot solve it either. We made literal mathematical proof of it, and that proof is the halting problem.

The entire point of the halting problem is that if you assume that there is a black box that can answer whether a program halts, you then prove it can’t be the case by a proof of contradiction. You can replace the black box with a human brain and it works just as well, that’s the entire point of a black box.

There’s nothing that indicates the human brain has super-turing computation

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.

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

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

Trump is making an excellent case for investing far more into renewables and phasing out oil, at least for energy

Something that I would have said was obvious for decades, that renewables is a matter of national security almost, but you know, people are stubborn

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

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

It would definitively be nice to see them on FOSS platforms, they probably just want to be where the users are. But yeah, I do agree

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

And yet, being in denial prevents true growth

Facing reality is hard. So much for calling others snowflakes

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

Weed just makes everything taste better tbh

Edit: but I will say, that does give me a good idea for eating healthier when I’m high

While I agree that AR glasses will become widespread, there’s still time to advocate for and implement privacy focused regulations. Especially early on as people are upset about the technology

While not perfect solutions, enforcing stuff such as recording LEDs and such are steps in the right direction

In other words, it’s why authoritarianism always fail

And capitalism is very specifically not a democratic economic system. There’s a hierarchy. The owners are the ones in power

You know what sucks?

In that AR glasses, in theory, are such an interesting technology with lots of potential, and certainly a piece of tech I would love to have and work with and on. Not to secretly record people, but to, well… augment my field of view with whatever digital tools or displays I would like. It would be so useful

It’s honestly kinda saddening to me that it most likely will get completely ruined by our current toxic relationship to technology. A step towards our ever increasing cyberdystopia, and not towards enchanting our limited lives

Obviously either way I don’t trust Meta, but an open-hardware device running a FOSS AR system? It would be nice…

I still hold out hope that this somehow could be resolved, and I would love to contribute to open software for these devices. Maybe one day soon-ish I will. My expertise should be well applicable, after all

That article was an insane read. I couldn’t have written more unserious people if I tried
