  • Yupp, and that’s sadly a product of capitalism. For example, low load industrial robot arms with a default set of software can be bought extremely cheap nowadays. What the capitalist sees is not a robotic utopia, where people are freed from work and get to enjoy life more, but a labour force which is cheaper and more reliable than humans. They have no interest in making the world a better place. They just want to maximize profits.

    Legislation worldwide is missing crucial time to find and enforce solutions for this.

    Technology can be so beautiful, magical and immensely helpful to us. If we use it right. But given our current system, this is unfortunately barely the case.


  • FTFY: *10 reasons to avoid capitalism

    If it’s not Amazon, it’s another shitty company which exploits everyone and everything to maximize profits without regard to the well-being of humanity and life itself.

    We need fundamental, systemic changes which grab those malpractices by their roots and rip them out. Our life will not get better if we continue to allow corporations like Amazon to exist.

    Purge them from the face of the earth. Life is too precious to be sacrificed for the sake of greed and corporate dominance. A new paradigm must emerge, one that values people over profits and prioritizes the health of our planet. We need to foster a society built on mutual respect, fairness, and sustainability, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Only then can we hope to create a future that benefits all of humanity instead of a few.











  • its not, though. Its best described as inspired by a big pachinko machine, with weighted pegs.It is almost in no way inspired by. Thats just propaganda being put out to make AI more palatable, and personable.

    Get your facts straight.
    The multi layer perceptron was first proposed in 1943 and was indeed inspired by biological networks: https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02478259

    You can be sure this wasn’t to make it “more palatable”, wtf.

    Regarding the rest of your reply:

    You seem to be expecting a fully functioning digital brain as replica of the human brain. That’s not what current ANNs in modern AI methods do.

    Although they are in their core inspired by nature (which is why I originally said that advancements in brain research can aid the development of more advanced AI models), they work structurally different. And ANNs for example are just simplified mathematical models of biological neural nets. I’ve described basic properties before. Further characteristics, like neurogenesis, transmission speeds influenced by myelinated or unmyelinated axons, different types and subnets of neurons, like inhibitors, etc., are not included.

    There is quite a large difference between simplfied models which are “inspired by” nature and exact digital replicas. It seems you are not accepting this.



  • I said “inspired by” and not “exact digital replicas”.

    In classical MLP networks a neuron is modeled as an activation function depending on its inputs. Connections between those are “learned”, basically weights which determine the influence of one neuron’s output on the next neuron’s input. This is indeed Inspired by biological neural networks.

    Interestingly, in some computer vision deep learning architectures, we have found structures after the training procedure which are even similar to how human vision works.

    There are a bunch of different artificial neural network types, most – if not all – inspired by biology. I wouldn’t be so bold to reduce them in that absurd manner you did.






  • very safe when handled correctly

    Too many people are not educated about that.

    The problem lies in the manufacturing of these needed chemicals. When these chemicals get into the environment, because of improper safety managemen

    Which is one of the reasons for that law, see:

    Dubbed “Amara’s Law” after 20-year-old cancer victim Amara Strande, who in 2023 succumbed to a rare type of liver cancer linked to PFAS after growing up near a Minnesota-based 3M plant that dumped them into the local water supply, the new regulation bans the chemicals and any items made with them from being sold within the state.
