  • The tittle is very misleading though as that's "only" the "anti-Communist" part of the death toll of capitalism, which might not even get to 0.1% of everything even with the most conservative of estimates.

  • Me and a lot of people I know use it to help learning new things, for example. Who wouldn't like a personal teacher to teach you what you need? That seems very useful to me.

  • Having AI being used to improve our lives and our material reality seems like a very good idea to me though...

  • and it turns out simply making models bigger does not lead to better outputs.

    I'd say that's debatable though, as what we have seen so far could just be that scaling with the current "low quality" data might not be enough. So, just like R1 might have been impossible earlier before there was enough high quality data for RL to work we might still be a ways of of having good enough data for huge models.

    If that was the case that is kinda of a plateau, but a temporary one that could be raised once other things are improved enough. Who knows for sure though.

  • Please be careful not to conflate the official confirmation with Kots’s writing that you’re quoting in the OP. This whole “they swore to never be captured” thing is not officially confirmed and there should be a disclaimer about that.

    Yep. Even here people seem to fall for all the anti-Korea/racist propaganda it seems.

  • Hopefully they keep their own in place until the talks end though.

  • They explained how the Soviet Union wasn't a dictatorship and they still called it one in the last line.

  • What they need as a basic human thing, is closeness. What they (tend to be) taught is that for an adult, romance is the ultimate way to do this.

    I guess this also ties on the capitalist (and other "structures of power") need for a "docile and growing workforce".

  • My take on it is that: when big corporations are doing it for (direct or inderect) profit it's stealing. It was trained on the work of artists after all and that's the only reason they can make good images. If they can make a model that doesn't require using images from others it would solve that issue but at least under capitalism that is too expensive to happen now so it won't happen.

    Personal use can be fine I guess and can even allow for more creativity, like if people are using image generation to make new images/art/assets based on their own work/photos. An indie game/movie/etc where the person uses AI to expand what they can do in size is a great use of AI I'd say, giving someone the ability to do something bigger/better than they could do by themselves is what a tool should be like and gen AI should be such a tool for artists too.

    There are more cases but they might be harder to come to a conclusion on, specially as they exist in a capitalist setting.

  • You are forgeting about the big supporters of the regime likely knowing what is going to happen, and even helping decide what will be done, meaning when the "markets" are going up or down they are making bank with their insider info.

  • Since it is only decaying through Beta minus decay (a neutron decaying into a proton that stays in the nucleus, an electron that can be ejected and an antineutrino that can pass through the Earth without interacting with anything) it probably depends on how well it can capture the electrons, ie. it kinda depends on how efficient it is.

    I'm also curious about the power curve. I guess the power falls with time, following the half life of the element (100 years for Ni63, meaning about 70% left after 50 years), but it would be nice if the article talked more about it, like if the diamond semiconductor can last that long. It should also be interesting how future batteries could use many elements with many decay routes that could keep the power output closer to constant for very long.

  • Anime: https://kaa.mx/ or https://hianime.to/tv

    No nyaa.si ?

    It's for torrenting instead of watching things online, but for those who prefer torrents it's perfect as you can also find OPs and EDs, manga, LNs...

  • There could make a stand in the west, if/when the front collapses, which could make it last longer still but I guess if it gets to a collapse the more pro-war elements in Ukraine might just flee to the EU and start trouble there instead.

  • I'm not so sure you can call a regime based on epxloitation of the majority of the world a "society", that's at most just a well disguised machine of exploitation, or much less that we are experiencing a societal collapse, as the actual society is now getting more room to grow from the deepening contradictions of capitalism.

  • Good text but you forgot a very important fact, that is, the second group to have invaded Russia, with the specific goals of enslaving the population for their own benefit, is composed of preciselly the countries that have formed nato as a stronger entity to invade and finally bend Russia to their will.

    Mentioning what happens in the 90s would also be a good idea in any longer texts.

  • Are they going to materially oppose this or are they just talking though?

    In the case of Russia they did allow/set-up companies to go in between Russian and Chinese companies so that Chinese companies could trade with Russia and continue trading with the west, but in this case it seems that any trade of oil or gas at all by China with Venezuela will lead to a 25% tarrif by the US, so will they actually continue the trade with Venezuela or will they back down as they used to do?

    Statements aren't going to feed Venezuelans after all.

  • What about the bourgeois families and the politicians supporting them? Even they will be worse off??

    I doubt the money the poor aren't getting is simply stopping to exist.

  • So, does anyone know how this technology works? Does it use quantum entangled photons or is it something else?
