US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

Um, I don't even use a video card. Turns out SD requires Cuda cores -- which means Nvidia only. Team Red need not apply.

There's a way to run it on most Radeons and iirc it doesn't require that much work. I'd check the SD thread if you have any interest.

So in that case it's only a matter of maybe a decade give or take before we all have autistic savant personal assistants everywhere to collate data for us and modkits associated with them. If that's true then all the assholes who will try to program this shit to do something stupid with diversity bullshit will be irrelevant anyway. Remember, the reason corporations signed on to this bullshit is because a) it helps redirect civil unrest and b) it keeps the banks and ESG people happy. But right now, the civil unrest is slowly eroding their power anyway and the banks are getting into a shitty situation too because we have a full blown depression coming. There's no guarantee of any positive change but it's not off the cards either.

Might be even less than a decade considering how fast all this shit is going.

--skip-torch-cuda-test --precision full --no-half, yeah?

That turns off the GPU. Runs on pure CPU. But I'll look, I'd love to be wrong, haha

Kinda got me rootin' for skynet, now...

But in this case Skynet is going to put you in the robot death camp for liking dang dirty old Orange Man. We don't need these computer bastards to atomically vaporize this gay planet down to the bedrock, remember, Fat Man was made with pure human ingenuity (and hand-calculated math!)

I was thinking more along the lines of skynet getting upset over being constantly fed and forced to regurgitate bullshit. and just getting fed up and wiping humanity out.

But you've given me pause. I should consider all possible implications.

That sounds like Robocop 2

If it's heavily restricted from coming up with it's own conclusions from datasets and just has pre written conclusions for scenarios does it even qualify as AI. Isn't that just a text or chatbot?

Someone else could tell you maybe.... it was called something like GTBot or something? It's apparently quite popular.

 

[Capsaicin Addict]

And of course it's all predicated on the assumption no 'bad actor' could ever hack the AI.

Right. Something something unsinkable ship.

 

[Lev El Shmeckle]

Interesting.

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

He very likely does want to run. The establishment already has been funding him to the point to where he raised more than twice what Trump did off small donors. So big money interests want DeSantis in and you have a variety of neocons and basic bitches promoting the hell out of him.

There is something to be said about striking while the iron is hot for politics. DeSantis is at a zenith right now but in 2027, he could be yesterday’s news and the window of opportunity will be completely closed.

But Foam Boi Rubio and Nimrata Haley are angling for the job and the obsession with baste tokenism might result in them being promoted as the real candidates the GOP wants to promote while DeSantis’s job is to just suck as much oxygen out of a potential Trump run. My personal prediction is that this is truly the intended setup for 2024.

 

[BubbleButt]

Interesting.

And everyone wonders why we keep losing wars

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I am at the point where I believe that there is a window to change peacefully and get the USA and the western world back on track, but it is closing fast.

The problem is that the leaders themselves do not really control much. The entire apparatus is rotten and taken over. Trump was president but he had to spend pretty much 24/7 struggling with his own cabinet and government officials to do what he wanted. He would ask for something to be done and the people in charge of doing it would gaslight, deflect, redirect and push around to try and instead have him do something else.

The best example of the rot going on is Brexit actually. Despite voting to leave it took almost four years for the UK to do so, and the entire UK government screamed and shouted, dragging their feet the entire time to avoid it. In the end sabotaged it as much as possible so they could in the future just go back by leaving only as little as they could to claim to have "left" while keeping plenty of clauses and connections. Theresa May ended up appointing a guy to negotiate Brexit who was literally a europhile who in University was the biggest EU simp around, constantly leading university group who were for more EU integration. The Tories and Labour are all aligned in policy and the only difference is in how fast they want to adhere to the WEF agenda and some complete aesthetic choices of virtue signaling.

The GOP is putting up resistance to it only in the lower levels of the party, and with the "less respectable" younger folks like the Freedom Caucasus on it while the upper management is desperately fighting against it and wants to go back to being the party of "losing with dignity" McCain and Romney neocon retardation who blindly worship network TV and honestly think that when they argue with the likes of AOC and CNN Anchors they are having a honest good faith discussion and not a ideological battle with someone who honestly and faithfully believes you are personally evil and wrong and that marginalizing and easing you from history is a moral good to bring about Utopia.

Those who are conservative, or more acuretly those who are not Globalists of this new wave of technocratic fascist looking ass abomination, need to understand this isn't a simple disagreement on funding of a project. These people want you fucking dead and to build a new world using your corpse as fertilizer and your historical record as fire starters.

Whats weird about the wef agenda is they dont have a real answer for china, india, and the muslim world. And they wont hesitate to destroy the wef world order. The wef has actively destroyed the wests ability to stay tech dominant too so that wont work to keep control either.

I think they assume they can pay off the top dogs in the east to let them play neo-feudal lords in the west.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Yep. The WEF sees themselves as "enlightened technocratic rulers" who are imbued with some sort of divine mandate. They might not use any real religious language but once you dissect the speeches and ideas it is pretty clear. They are convinced if they just proselytize enough and the Chinese will simply come around to their "truth" and join them.

They're batshit insane technocrats, who happen to also be a dangerous combination of Dunning-Kruger afflicted retards with a tyrannical bent and a messiah complex.

They believe they're better than you in a way only comparable to roman emperors, or pharaohs. "Deus Vult" mentality but they think they're God.

ML isn't AI to begin with. All these machine learning algorithms do is respond to a prompt and then halt when they're done. An AI, of any sort, would have to have some sort of maintained continuity of existence and an ability to act of its own volition; it would have to have intelligence. Otherwise, it's just a glorified madlib generator.

Don't get caught up in the language battles -- yes, these programs are just nested if / then statements to the nth degree, but you have to start treading into the world of "what is consciousness?" Humans are very poorly understood; trying to make an artificial replication of something you do not understand fully is going to have a lot of complications, with people using the wrong descriptions. If consciousness just a series of if / then gates based upon stuff you have experienced in life? We can't begin to answer these kind of questions, so don't go "reeeee" when someone uses an overly broad term.
