Never would have guessed this. Common Valve W.

Thrift stores often have old laptops for cheap

That’s a great point, I suspect you’re right. Also the Internet wasn’t something you were constantly connected to back then, so spending 45 minutes a day on stumbleupon felt more special.

Granted there’s no good reason we need to be spending as much time as we do online now…

THANK YOU. I’m always saying this. People always say they miss the “old, weird internet” but it’s still there and still active and still growing. But these people choose to spend their time on 2-3 highly addictive apps and complain about it. Nobody is forcing you to download Tiktok dude.

That’s assuming the hypothetical superintelligence is willing to do the bidding of billionares. But I’m not sure how the billionares would control something that is smarter than them and also doesn’t rely on money to stay alive.

Glad the subheader is “Imagine what happens if jobs actually start disappearing.”

There’s just still not a lot of evidence that LLMs could take a substantial number of jobs away, unless your job is spam, advertising or propaganda. Corporations are blaming AI but there just isn’t the evidence to support the idea that those fired workers are anything other than normal downsizing (that conveniently help fit the narrative and boost the stock price).

IF an AI gets invented that actually begins making humans unemployable, the economy as it exists wouldn’t be able to withstand it …who would pay for things if there are no jobs? Why provide goods and services for money if nobody can pay for it? Even being a billionare would be pointless because if everyone else’s economic value is zero they can’t be compelled to do anything with your worthless slop money.

There are nice friendly frontends for this, Yunohost or CasaOS spring to mind but might be too simplistic if you already are familiar with Docker.

This was an interesting article! While there is an argument to be made for an “AGI Manhattan project” I’m not convinced that companies like OpenAI or xAI will be of much value to a project like that at all. It would be like if the US government took over Joey’s Really Big Stacks of Dynamite Emporium in the 1940’s.

My bad I didn’t realize this was a sport that you were trying to win lol

I said it was first I didn’t say it was standard. But being the first it definitionally can’t be “nonstandard” since it was the only one at the time!

that’s not what the discussion is about

hardly any of those are still in production by that logic a regular TV is a crt lol

n64 is relevant in any discussion about analog sticks on console controllera

“DEBATE ME”

lol but seriously who cares who’s first if we’re going with who’s thumbstick layout was first then it’s n64 and I think we agree nobody wants that

Same. I desperately hope they release a version with the regular thumbstick layout instead of the PlayStation layout that’s on the Deck.
