He’s really good. I’m torn on the subject because the current AI hype is most certainly a bubble and a grift, but I find the technology fascinating. I do think there’s potential for great things there, but the technology is almost exclusively in the hands of 3 companies and will have a terrible impact on everyone else. I enjoy just focusing on the technical details every once in a while

I follow a YouTube channel, AI explained, that has some pretty grounded analysis of the latest models and capabilities. He compared LLMs to the creative writing center of the brain, as in they’re really nice to interact with, output things that sound correct, but ultimately are missing the capabilities of reasoning and factuality that are needed for AGI

That’s a yes then, because damaging (actually damaging, not just getting plexiglass wet) was one of their major tactics. It got to the point where museum owners considered denying entry to all women

Do you condemn the suffragettes?

In Germany, protestors repeatedly shut oil pipelines off and locked themselves to the valves to prevent their reopening, blocking oil flow for several hours every time. I consume a lot of news, both mainstream and in my leftist bubble. That story barely registered anywhere.

The exact same protestors threw mashed potatoes at a Van Gogh. They were the main headline for over a week.

Hell, some guy set himself on fire a few years ago and it was in the news for half a day.

The media blackout is real, but it’s not a huge conspiracy. It’s just that the media reports on what gets them clicks, and nothing generates clicks like outrage. That’s why so much reporting also conveniently forgets to mention that the paintings are protected by plexiglass and nothing ever got damaged. But all the controversy gets people talking, and some people will inevitably question what drives people to do something like that. That is the real objective. If they wanted to be popular, they’d to greenwashed recycling videos on YouTube instead, or whatever else is hip with the neoliberal peddlers of personal responsibility at the moment.

If some soup on plexiglass can convince you to let the planet burn, you were never on the side of progress.

There was plexiglass in front of it. JSO has not permanently damaged anything, as far as I know. Quite the contrary, they take precautions to take care not to damage cultural artifacts. You know what doesn’t? Climate change.

For fucks sake, the suffragettes slashed paintings, and there’s more pearl clutching over some easily cleanable soup now than knives back then.

Great, you’re reducing your personal impact. That’s a great start. I’m sure our politicians will think of your hugle culture and recycling when they sign the next gas drilling licenses. We can’t ‘individual action’ our way out of this one.

And btw, I’m sure the activists do their recycling too.

Propose something better then. Or better yet, do it.

To everyone in this thread who has nothing but insults for these activists, what are you doing against climate breakdown? Besides sitting on your couch, insulting people who are actually trying to make a difference, facing jail time?

You are the kind of people who would’ve called the Suffragettes names and said they’re hurting the cause, as well.

yeah, you really don’t want that ship anywhere near people or infrastructure

Remember the Beirut explosion? Yeah, that

I think a more efficient tactic would be to, once a month, execute the person with the highest net worth. Billionaires would be scrambling to get rid of their money

To add on to what the other person said, this is very likely a targeted move to kill the ticket and mock the people that want it. Before it got renamed, it was called the 49€-Ticket, which followed in the footsteps of Corona-time 9€-Ticket, which allowed people to use all regional transport for nine bucks a month. It was hugely successful. When Corona stimuli were cut, it got replaced with what we have now. Since then, a lot of people have demanded to bring back a permanent 9€-Ticket.

The transportation minister, Volker Wissing from the right-wing, corrupt, neoliberal FDP instead announces he’s going to raise the price, by… 9€. This is just a spit in the face of everyone wishing for affordable transit

She does? It’s just that Denmark isn’t the biggest cruise missile manufacturer… They did give F16s though, as one of the first countries to do so

He seems to be a ideological volunteer who fought in Donetsk even before the invasion. Fuck him, cheers to Russian incompetence

China’s last warning, you say

Very much so. I dread what the next few years hold

There’s been nothing social about the SPD in more than 100 years. Remember Rosa, remember Karl

As someone who lives here, Brandenburg is hardly a key state (one of the least populated, and economically heavily dependent on Berlin) and BSW is left in name only (shilling for Putin and demonizing migrants).
