I mean fair to say but a real partnership would probably be to really just get someone to play his role while the real player moves through the democratic primary and wins.
Musks role really only is going to serve as a potential spoiler for the republican candidates… no left leaning person is even going to consider a party funded by musk.
Ah yes, my state, the one that turned the primaries to hell to Bernie… one that’s largely hailed as some reason an important state in the democratic primary, in spite of the fact that we all know there’s a zero percent chance anyone who puts a D next to their name is going to win it in the general. Guess it’s sort of the practice for democrats general strategy… (butcher the hell out of everything you stand for to try to win over the right… get zero votes from far right anyway).
Gee I wonder what nation state currently is known for cyber warfare, and currently isn’t in good terms with ICC… perhaps one that may even have an arrest warrant on their current leader by ICC, and/or maybe one of the creators of the stuxnet virus.
802.11a is over 20 years old, fortunately this law isn’t talking about shutting down existing routers. the 6 GHZ is the next frontier to expand to, the military already owns the 7 GHZ spectrum… So the 6 GHZ is the one that can be expanded into. Of which origionally was planned to be made for the next generation of wifi… but now is going to be sold off to phone providers to use in the next generation of mobile networks.
So in short, our existing routers will continue to work as designed, but future routers will not be making any leaps forward.
Basically the choice between better faster wireless LANs, is getting killed in favor of better networks for cellphone services… of which the carriers will set the price on.
Well yeah exactly why I said “the same risk”. ideally it’s going to be in the same systems… and assuming no one is stupid enough (or the laws don’t let them) attach it to the publicly accessible forms of existing AIs It’s not a new additional risk, just the same one. (though those assumptions are largely there own risks.
remember a decade ago when Donald Trump was starting in the primaries and it was a joke.
I think you are massively overestimating how many of his fans would go anywhere, and how long they tag along. I used to play a social deduction game town of Salem, can’t say I know exactly how large the playerbase was… but I’d estimate it on the lower side, probably significantly under 50k. There were a few times Pewdiepie did a video on the game, and yeah, he was a pain in the ass, because he didn’t try to learn the game, so his video was basically him trolling around in the game screaming random stuff, completely ruining things for people who wanted to play the game, and players could basically count on a few days afterwards of, having games ruined by his fans doing the same crap of course. However it certainly wasn’t millions of them, within a few days the game mostly went back to normal… with if anything a slight boost to the number of players, because a handful stuck around and actually learned the game.
and again this is with much longer ago pewdiepie… way younger fanbase, way larger more active following. Today’s pewdiepie, that’s still following, and I guess bothering to pay attention to his videos on rigging up gadgets with raspberry pi’s, and installing archlinux with hyprland, and apparently this one on getting off google. I’d imagine… the amount of people following him are going to be waay smaller than that, he hasn’t been doing gaming videos in at least a year, seems to be more of basic tech comentary and general lifestyle location things.
So in short, if he did a lemmy push, first off I’d imagine actually the blip from it being very small. Unless steam charts suddenly show 100 million new archlinux users or something, I can guess his influence today is probably pretty small, and second the type of people he’d attract are probably also drastically different than the edgy teen base we remember him for, and lastly even at his peak of popularity and immaturity, the influx wasn’t quite as big as you are thinking it is.
and then his allegedly support of nazis.
The nazi one IMO was pretty BS. Largely it came from him playing a game, and commenting that other people were trolling putting up swastika’s etc…
Which I’ll admit, he handled the criticism poorly, did mostly the wrong things because he found it more of a joke than a real thing. He rightly noted that one of the critics was JK Rowling, who he fairly pointed out had no business calling anyone such. When Charlottsville happened is when he actually gave what I considered a pretty sincere fair apology where he basically noted, "holy shit I thought I was being accused of something that didn’t exist, I didn’t realize that nazi’s are actually still so prevelant in modern society so I wasn’t taking things seriously.
Now afterwords him dropping the n bomb on a stream was pretty damn bad, though he apologized and admitted it. Still kind of falls into the fact that he’d been paid for years to join in games with a bunch of edgy teenagers, and at the end of the day if you spend too much time with a group of people, you are going to slip up and talk like them.
Again not calling him a great guy or anything, but I’d say everything in him strikes me as a kid that never grew up (because his life was basically set up encouraging him not to), didn’t understand the weight of a lot of the things he was around, and made a bunch of childish stupid mistakes.
Seems to me pointless, biggest one being, if this was developed in a working manner, and was used… advertisers would mix between going more subtle, or more obnoxious. Just like on the web.
IE subway stations could put say a code you need to get into the subway in the middle of an advertisement. IE the real life equivelant of “you must disable your adblocker to continue”.
I mean theoretically things could be anonymized for the AI, with only the charts with identifiers present, I’d imagine assuming the AI itself stays locked into the EHR system and isn’t say outsourced to one of the big AI firms. With those conditions it’s, roughly the same privacy as the existance of EHR in general.
As far as practical/legal/ethical, that comes down to how they market it to doctors. Personally I think it could be a useful tool for a doctor to “second opinion” himself. IE reach his own conclusion first, then hit the AI, see if it noticed something he missed. Though the obvious fear is of course going to be lazy or rushed doctors, working in a hospital that’s pushing them to see the most patients possible in an hour, rewarding the doctors that walk in, hand the patient their AI diagnosis, and move into the next room. Which… well in modern America we all know this is what’s going to be pushed.
The tools have amazing potential when used appropriately… but for profit healthcare has all the wrong incentives, and they will see this as a tool to magnify them.
Valid… but also have to point out he hit big as a celebrity. When you are literally raking in millions of dollars. He was about 21 when he started his channel. and bottom line is, he got views, he got likes, and it turned into real cash. Most of our jobs etc… encourage us to grow up. His job, rewarded him for catering to his base… which of were younger than him.
I mean, I don’t know of him now… he’s way older and, seems significantly less immature than he was in the past, it’s possible a good portion of his fanbase has also grown to be more tolerable.
I mean I don’t really consider him a deplorable person… He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven’t paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he’s grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.
Agreed, AI just like all media, has the biggest question of “is it fueling bias’s, or just reflecting them”. It’s drawing what people think of when they see something.
It isn’t racist for me to say, getting pulled over for no reason is far more likely if your skin is darker, it’s just what society is.
and that’s of course before we talk about the general discussion of actually effective ways to deal with obesity in society… which is more complicated. Obviously directly shaming, has a negative impact. Making someone with an eating disorder feel shitty about themselves, makes it harder to overcome the disorder. At the same time saying it’s not a problem for them to face at all is also not going to help them want to change.
I love that he can call things “objectively false”, but then not actually try and counterpoint any of them. It’s wrong because it disagrees with what I believe. Is he going to claim the amounts are wrong, or that Jan 6th is not right wing. Disagree that left wing violence is at the extreme ends targeting property?
Grok is at least showing examples to explain it’s conclusion, musk is just copying trumps “nope fake news”.
to me I still use the paid version because, for me it’s not that expensive on the family plan, and I do want the content creators to get paid. I do hate the monopoly etc… but as far as I can tell it’s one that can’t really be broken. Far as I can see no other site can actually arrange a system in which creators get paid any substantial amount.
also do have to note the inevitable put up or shut up part of nature. There’s basically only 2 options of systems when it comes to the internet, either we deal with ads or we pay for services. Until a magical extra option appears I’m OK with paying to avoid ads.
lol I did that for a while when I was broke… for quite some time I rigged up my linksys router with wrt, set it up as a repeater for my neighbors wifi after cracking it.
Of course the real irony was after cracking it, I realized I could have cracked it much easier with a phone book (after realizing my local ISP, just used the persons phone number as the WEP key)
yeah, but emacs still wins out in capabilities. https://xkcd.com/378/
I’d say it partly depends on where you live… or where you plan to live. Bottom line is in the US anywhere that isn’t a big city. Being able to drive is basically going to be a pre-requisite to having a job.
Honestly at this point, I’m not sure which has the greater cost to life. I’m starting to think, maybe this is the fastest way to tangently demonstrate how fucking full of shit this guy is. He blows up a few space ships, no one’s directly effected. Maybe running over one or 2 kids directly with a robo taxi will wake enough over to “maybe we shouldn’t let this guy kick tens of thousands of americans off healthcare.”
(not saying this is a good thing, but of a trolly problem. Musk has spent hte last 6 months getting in positions to do horrible things to so many people, and god knows how many deahts he’s responsible for. Maybe if he messes up and does a few of the kinds of deaths that people get scared over and take action, than things will go better.
