well that’s common, but the big thing is, you can see what you are working with. Big difference in at least knowing you need to try a different site when say

Google: Law about X in state1

Top result: Law about X in state3: It’s illegal

Result 2 pages in: here’s a list of each page and whether law X is legal in your state… (State 1 legal)

Versus chatgpt

Is X legal in state1?

Chatgpt: No

Amen to that. I mean right now there’s also more reason than ever to convince people to leave reddit. (IE people being banned, not just for mentioning luigi, but upvoting comments mentioning luigi).

it has voice and video… though to be honest I’ve never used it.

damn… there goes my heist plans… was going to wait till AI robots took over the manufacturing lines, then walk in and start stealing product right off the line. I never anticipated all the robots would know kung fu.

Not a bad list, one thing I would say though, for self hosting, vaultwarden is a far more ideal server than bitwarden (same clients work, but faster and all features are unlocked).

BEVs need to park for a while to get a substantial charge, not even full one. The fast chargers get Teslas to 80% in something like thirty minutes

That’s why my point was “truck stop level gas station”. IE those huge gas stations off the highway, several in most cities… huge lots, and most importantly have at least one, sometimes a few restaurants inside. IE they are already designed as a good place for truckers to take a half hour to an hour to, re-organize themselves for a long trip. Not a totally unreasonable process for a road tripping family etc… to hit every 3-4 hours that an EV can drive.

I can’t fully disagree on the potential of renting a car if it’s extremely infrequent to make long trips. Public transit would be nice, though gotta say there’s a lot of places where that’s pretty non-viable. Least from where I live the nearest bus station from me is about 30-45 minutes away by car.

Exactly that’s where it should be doubled down… if their own estimates are correct… it’s only a 6 month expense. If they really believe they are about to open the key to basically eliminating the cost of millions of workers indefinately, wouldn’t throwing thousands of workers to accomplish it faster, lead to cost savings.

Say if I wanted a machine that could make eggs indefinately forever… but to make it I had to put 100 eggs into it. why would I put one egg in a day for 8 months, instead of buying 100 eggs today.

Or, worse, they might actually have to hire enough people to actually do the job. Why hire 100 people with good work life balance, when you can hire 60 people that aren’t allowed to have lives or families.

To answer your question: no, that is not my suggestion.

I mean so what is the suggestion? The post I was responding to made it sound like you were saying you shouldn’t use EV’s outside of short trips near home. Which begs the question what should someone who 99% of the time drives near home, but once a year needs to visit their family for christmas 2 states away.

To me I’m wondering how complex are the chargers… we already have gas stations all over the place. To me it wouldn’t seem super inplausible for say fast chargers that are, reasonably easy to add to say the typical truck stop level gas station. Of which, they’d start with just adding one or 2… as EV’s become more common add more. Would be slowly working towards future proofing the consumer gas side (To my knowledge EV Trucks aren’t in the near future, but every truck stop I’ve been to has also had a huge regular car side)

To which I have to say… good on them for using AI porn in the least bad way? (IE realistic fictional characters instead of real people that did not consent to the depictions being made of them).

Well, it really is hard to explain to someone

Trump is very trump.

I mean isn’t that at least some extent technically true to a level.

I mean if we weren’t talking a shitty corporation to begin with. If this were say, a 20 year old mcdonnalds worker pirating game of thrones.

IMO the bigger concept is still rather than if they got it… defining whether using that data after the fact is legal. I mean hypothetically speaking lets just say they bought 1 copy of each of the millions of books, or bought used copies, or say had a machine that could scan every book in a library. IMO the issue shouldn’t be whether or not anyone managed to download the books in their pure form afterwards. The focus should be the AI trained on their books, is going to be distributing portions of their book to millions of people, and any potential profits of such will be going to meta and uncredited to the original authors. The idea that meta’s involvement in torrenting may have let little timmy get a copy of his text book 15 seconds faster… shouldn’t be the driving force here.

So your suggestion is basically families should own an EV just for getting around home… and a gas guzzler for long distance travel? IMO the ideal should be a slow phase out of the gas cars.

Or you know… instead of needing super heavy batteries… they could have smaller batteries… if charging stations become common enough that people can relatively easily find places to stop and charge on long trips.

Just get rid of the charging stations. It’s ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work

why the hell is that ridiculous? People do go places other than home and work. People take road trips and vacations. Electric cars are a good thing, just because one particular brand is owned by a narcisist ruining the country.

Well I mean it’s a combination of issues… IE yes drown yourself in overwhelming strong scents to attempt to cover up your stink (or simply because on it’s own you think it’s attractive, and the commercials said putting it on will send girls into attack mode).

Subtle deodorant is certainly better than natural BO (especially depending on hygine, and just some general body types etc…

Hate to say it, but I cannot find an alternate front end to it. There might be one, but documentation on it is pretty scarce, every tutorial I’ve ever seen has just told how to let nextcloud use it.

There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.

Are they as popular, or the default use. How many “alternatives” are actually just piping through chatgpt.

Controlling information means getting control of the defaults, the ones people are used to using.

Which I agree with… IE I like the system of “your camera catches a hit and run”, you can go knock on their door, ask them to share the footage with you… and you give it to your lawyer, cops or insurance adjusters as you see fit.

What people like me don’t like is the idea that the cops decide to search your permission, use your footage to prosecute a crime you wouldn’t want to. Imagine the same scenerio… except instead of a hit and run… lets say it was say someone delivering pot… or a hispanic person just going home for the day, and ICE was looking for someone to bother, etc…

Point is we’re all happy to be witnesses to crimes that hurt people. but we also know you give cops too much power… and you’ll find horrible things happening

and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high… which makes this even more terrifying. It’s about systematically gaining control of communication and information.

But if all these generative models are so designed to replace the people upon whose videos they’re based, who/what will train the next generation of models, I wonder?

Maybe we hit a regular cycle…

IE Data is all trained on real video, gets good enough that humans cannot differentiate. Real video becomes rare, AIs are now training on AI videos. Result… AI video becomes effectively copy of copy of copy of copy… degredation becomes obvious. as mistakes are now compounding. AI developers have to start creating and introducing un-tampered video to train with. AI starts to get better.
