If you don’t need anything from some interaction - don’t interact.

Ah yes the freedom to just not interact with endless propaganda. Solid plan. Easy as curing HIV... jfc.

I read about their politically-motivated content moderation

Links? What kind of "politically-motivated content"?

I'm pretty sure they're banning TikTok because reality/truth tends to disillusion the youth and liberate the oppressed.

They don't allow phones in actual prisons so why should schools be any different? \s

They gotta call it an "AI Thumb" before I'm buying. \s

Speech to text (STT), text to speech (TTS), Generative AI for text (LLMs), images (Midjourney/Stable Diffusion), audio (Suno). Upscaling, Computer Vision (object detection, etc).

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. Anything except actual intelligence. Do bosses from video games count?

I think it's smart to shift the conversation away from AI to ML, but that's part of my point. There is a huge gulf between ML and AGI that AI purports to fill but it doesn't. AI is precisely that hype.

If "AI doesn't mean what it used to", what does it mean now? What are the scientific criteria for this classification? Or is it just a profitable buzzword that can be attached to almost anything?

But since you’re looking for AGI there’s nothing specific to really point at since this doesn’t exist.

Yes, it doesn't exist.

The point is that, when trade has the potential to make the world a peaceful united place, capital and its state will violently intervene to extract a "profit" instead.

we all agree that crypto is pretty clearly not the answer.

Tell that to anybody holding crypto as prices hang out around all time high.

Not to mention solving the problem with energy consumption which LLMs are beginning to dwarf.

And if you think state currency is the answer, then I have really bad news about how that's been going...
