    You know, I used to worry about China taking over the world, but honestly they look like a much better choice for a super power than the US is now.

    I for one welcome our new communist overlords.

    It’ll require us to create an actual AI first, but yeah when that day comes shit’s gonna get real wild real fast.

    And no, the glorified spellchecker-on-steroids we’re all calling AI but isn’t actual intelligence isn’t gonna cut it. Fun toy though.

      It’s artificial as in fake, not man-made and it’s been that way since the 70’s. It’s only the pop-sci definition that’s inaccurate. AI has always been about faking decision making whether it is an adversarial AI in a video game or a chat bot. You can hate the overhyped wallstreet buzz around LLMs, but this semantic argument crap has just been annoying.

        ‘Artificial’ isn’t the part of it that’s in question, lol. And computing has been around since way before the 70s.

        AI has always been about faking decision making

        That isn’t intelligence.

        adversarial AI in a video game or a chat bot

        are examples of A but not I.

        this semantic argument crap has just been annoying.

        Agreed. Words have meanings, and while we fuck it up a lot by not understanding the meaning or by some marketing department deliberately using the wrong words to sell something to people who don’t know any better, none of that means the words don’t have meanings.

        Unless we’re going with the whole “we’ve used it incorrectly long enough that that’s what it means now cuz language evooooolves!” shit, and honestly, maybe we have crossed that line, but that shit’s above my paygrade.

    Every sane person working in tech saw that coming, lol. Not saying that AI is bullshit, but it doesn’t do anything that marketing want you to believe.

      It’s not a collapse (yet). This is the first of many market corrections as AI drops back into the realm of reality.

      Only some tech companies took a L, this is not a real image (unfortunately). The reason being that a chinese company managed to surpass OpenAI’s best models with 6 million funding and limited access to hardware, proving that Nvidia’s hardware isn’t all that necessary, and OpenAI is throwing money out the window

      Chinese ChatGPT outperforms American models, on cheaper and less powerful chips as well. Leading to speculations of overvalued tech stocks in the US on an already very high valued market

      My horrible take only based on a few snippets:

      Chinese open source AI releases, wipes the floor with US AI. Exposes AI as massively overvalued. Not surprising considering how big tech is just taking everything. Nvidia loses like half a trillion in value.

      I’m happy to see a home run against the fascists that hurt them more than violence, at least to start. And I’m not a fan of AI (as hyped), but if it’s going to happen I’d rather it be with an open source performer as a base than the venture capitalists that abandoned us.

      And really the US is no more trustworthy than China for those of us under the shadow of the big dick energy stuporpowers.

          if it is fascism that drags 700 million out of poverty in 40 years and lets kids go to college for a several hundred dollars a year, maybe we’ve been too hard on fascism.

              you are, apparently - in your very nicely framed and totally fair-minded way that doesn’t acknowledge your own country’s crushing oppression and uncounted lives destroyed to maintain its hegemony

        That open source performer is very much aligned with Winnie the poohs censorship, which should be worrying.

          The model has no censorship. Some websites running the model are hosted in China and thus do. Use one of the thousands of instances that run out of the US or run it yourself. It’s not like chatgpt or other openai trash, it’s system requirements are pretty low.

      Loss in trust in the US economy under Trump along with the appearance of a new “Hail Mary” by investors who can look outside of the US’ national borders unlike Trump and his followers.
