I think given how a substantial number of users in Lemmy are old, I think there is simply a natural aversion to the new and grasping for straws. I never hear of younger folks with IT background dismiss AI completely, as much as Lemmy does. I’m not a fan of AI, especially how company shove AI to us, but to dismiss that it won’t evolve and improve is a ridiculous position to me.

Can you explain how quorom sensing is reasoning and exercising logic?

You think microorganisms can reason? Wow, AI haters are grasping for straws.

Honestly, I don’t understand Lemmy scoffing at AI and thinking the current iteration is all it ever will be. I’m sure some thought that the automobile technology would not go anywhere simply because the first model was running at 3mph. These things always takes time.

To be clear, I’m not endorsing AI, but I think there is a huge potential in years to come, for better or worse. And it is especially important to never underestimate something, especially by AI haters, because of what destructive potential AI has.

I’m sure AI will do those things at some point. Nobody expected the same of our microorganism ancestors.

I don’t know about the state of the German army internally, but for sure in European scale, there are bureaucracy that hinders effectiveness. These include countries having different procurement systems, different interest and culture, and each countries have to ask permission first before their own army crosses to another country. Even if Germany and France are more prepared, intra-national bureaucracy makes defense more difficult. The European integrationists wants a more unified army, but as I’ve mentioned, layers upon layers of reasons delay things.

We poked fun at this meme, but it goes to show that the LLM is still like a child that needs to be taught to make implicit assumptions and posses contextual knowledge. The current model of LLM needs a lot more input and instructions to do what you want it to do specifically, like a child.

Edit: I know Lemmy scoff at LLM, but people probably also used to scoff at Veirbest’s steam machine that it will never amount to anything. Give it time and it will improve. I’m not endorsing AI by the way, I am on the fence about the long term consequence of it, but whether people like it or not, AI will impact human lives.

India (1.47bn) got no medals at all.

This has been brought up before in the last Summer Olympics when Indian nationalists were flexing and bragging how great they are, but barely winning any medals despite the bigger population.

I’m not Indian but being an Asian, there is far more emphasis on academics than in sports. Anything outside of academics is seen as a waste of time. Although, this toxic cultural attitude led to many Indians taking many executive roles in many Western companies.

It’s a scam, y’all.

That explains why vegetables are more expensive, at least in Ireland.
