  • wow_mao did a good breakdown on this in his most recent video.

    but on a more serious one: marques bownlee made a level headed video on this: he noticed only 2 basic tasks like opening the door and bringing a cup to the kitchen were done automatically in the clip, everything else shown in the clip was a remote controlled robot. it’s ai needs to learn A LOT of things, like different fabrics, how to stack dishwashers, how to even differentiate forks from knives… now every household has it’s individual items and so on. he compared it to teslas self driving which was actively beta tested by the users and learned this way. but roads are far less complex than a household. and tesla works because they sold millions of cars while this robot will be a 20.000$ beta test for a small amount of people and it has to learn a lot of different thinks on a significantly smaller userbase. then there’s privacy: you have a walking robot in your household which records stuff and sends the data to a server outside of the user’s control.

    basically it’s a tech bro pipedream.

    nice video though.






  • this is fucking horrible! we’re talking about 13 MILLION displaced people!

    and those who cannot flee the war get massacred for no reason by warlord factions.

    i remember vividly when i was a kid and we had an issue of national geographic with a section about the sudanese war. My dad told me not to read that article, as he didn’t want me to read about these atrocities.

    20yrs passed, the killing didn’t stop and the people still can’t live in peace and have to fear the worst.

    i can’t even begin to imagine what the people of al-fasher have to go through right now.










  • lol, lmao even.

    AI developers themselves don’t know what their creations are doing so they just give it “guardrails” and the whole process to progress the technology is based on vibes or giving it more computing power. the latter proved to plateau really quick.

    this article looks like it’s part of the illusive AGI hype. The only realistic consequence i see in this is that researches hit a brick wall, the technology plateaus and even gets worse due to ai cannibalization and a multi-trillion-dollar industry collapses leaving an economy in shambles.



  • i’m all for linux phones, android becomes locked down by google, iOS is proprietary and dumbphones seem like an unnecessary burden if you wanna participate in society.

    But i oppose the inclusion of any state in FOSS development. The EU is constantly pushing for chat control, Germany uses Palantir and ACTA was a thing. The EU could flip in the next election cycle and make backdoors mandatory or cut funding and cause the collapse of active development which relies on EU funding if their demands are not met.

    But i’m no developer, i’m just an active user so i can’t have an informed opinion on that.
