what you’re describing is known as “expert agencies”. non-elected experts work together to suggest courses of action for the government on their assigned topic. since they are not elected, they can not make decisions, but they can draft bills for parliament to vote on. hey also do studies on request of other branches.
you may have heard of some of these agencies, like the FDA, EPA, CDC…
the problem with entirely separating the two is that progress and technology can be made with an ideology in mind.
the current wave of language model development is spearheaded by what basically amounts to a cult of tech-priests, going all-in on reaching AGI as fast as possible because they’re fully bought into rokos basilisk. if your product built to collect and present information in context is created by people who want that information to cater to their world view, do you really think that the result is going to be an unbiased view of the world? sure the blueprint for how to make an llm or diffusion model is (probably) unbiased, but when you combine it with data?
as an example, did you know that all the big diffusion models (stable, flux, illustrious etc) use the same version of CLIP, the part responsible for mapping text to features? and that the CLIP part is tailored for and trained on medical information? how might that affect the output? sure you can train your own CLIP, but will you? will anyone?
ish. if your boot priority is set to windows first and it decides it needs to repair the bootloader it can wipe other oses from the boot order.
no matter your stance on the morality of language models, it’s just plain rude to use a machine to generate text meant for people. i would never do that. if i didn’t take the time to write it, why would you take the time to read it?
on the one hand, this is an ai horde-based bot. the ai horde is just a bunch of users who are letting you run models on their personal machines, which means this is not “big ai” and doesn’t use up massive amounts of resources. it’s basically the “best” way of running stable diffusion at small to medium scale.
on the other, this is still using “mainstream” models like flux, which has been trained on copyrighted works without consent and used shitloads of energy to train. unfortunately models trained on only freely available data just can’t compete.
lemmy is majority anti-ai, but db0 is a big pro-local-ai hub. i don’t think they’re pro-big-ai. so what we’re getting here is a clash between people who feel like any use of ai is immoral due to the inherent infringement and the energy cost, and people who feel like copyright is a broken system anyway and are trying to tackle the energy thing themselves.
it’s a pretty thorny issue with both sides making valid points, and depending on your background you may very well hold all the viewpoints of both sides at the same time.
bin laden. like, they fly away with stuff from bins.
full circle: the screenshot is in swedish
i am actively looking for one to color-coordinate my bedroom.
can i like get one of these from the state, or
dendrite seems to be written in go nowadays, which i did not expect.
also, what spurred this political tirade? i just sat down!
i’ll get a cash bonus once the probationary period is up at my new job, which i can use to knock like 10% off of the cost of my mortgage.
a friend of mine is getting bottom surgery and i’m looking forward to it for them, it’s nice that people around me are happy.
also, dunno if it’s something to look forward to exactly but if it turns out i do have hypertension and i can get on exforge i may not only be rid of my chronic headaches but also figure out if i actually have adhd, since amlodipine apparently lessens the symptoms. it would be nice to be able to do things.
i thought dendrite was the new hotness?
the backend is no longer fully open source
can you expand on this? never heard it before.
tank battle!
why the hell they didn’t port all the multiplayer modes of cbfd to xbox will always be a mystery to me. it was the multiplayer console.
those sailing boat keels are lead-filled (at least at the bottom) and hydrodynamic so that the force of the running water pushes it back to center. it’s a lot easier to capsize a boat like that when it’s not moving.
+1 for swiss army man.
hibernation is in general not supported with full disk encryption, and is not recommended. you can do it but it’s a hassle and will lead to hangs on wakeup if you don’t configure it correctly. i gave up on it.
just wait until someone in your circles finds out about “frequency therapy”.
