US US Politics General 2 - Discussion of President Trump and other politicians

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Does Stretchin' Gretchen run for the spot? Is there some old athlete who can run for the GOP who isn't a geriatric?
It's Michigan and Barry Sanders is nowhere near as retarded as Herschel Walker, Trump should cozy up to him and he'll win by 5 points.

A bunch of pages ago someone posted a video of the Google "AI" creating code and it got me excited. After playing with it, it definitely reminds me of making a simple change request to the Indian team before leaving work, then coming in the next morning to find that nothing worked and I either had to ask a non-Indian to fix it or muddle through it myself if the real engineers were too busy. Its big advantage is that you don't have to wait until the morning to know the code is junk. If China can make shitty Indian code with fewer resources, let them have it.
 
Any alternative you'd recommend that does something similar?
I'm paying for the "pro" version at the moment and I'm not very impressed.
I've heard good things about Perplexity AI, I tried it a little and it seems pretty good. They are the same people who might be buying tiktok.

I do think Sam Altman will become the next tech bro to implode and skip town.

Sorry if someone else already said this, this thread is zooooming.
 
This just aired live, lmao.

What if this is the real tranny propaganda lol.
Most of the occupy speds were the same kind of retards praising Luigi. Functionality retarded and unable to succeed in society. It was and never is about making the "system" better, it's all about envy. Its about the fact that they failed to make it because of their own retardation.
I mean most people feel minot sympathy for Luigi and occupy because wall street basically has been selling out the us for the last 40 years or at least since the fall of the ussr.
 
They don't even have to steal the algorithm, China gave it away. This was custom built to fuck with the AI Bros in the West.

From what I understand the big thing is it's on par with OpenAI et all's best, but open source and runs on (relatively) cheaper hardware. We're still taking a pair of 80 gigabyte AI NPUs apparently, but, compared to the insane shit out there, that's nothing. And people are already using it to train it further and will prune that down to saner numbers soon.

The thing is, this apparently means that all the AI Bros are now at best on par with 4chan again, at worst, they've fallen behind. And Nvidia, whose business model has moved from Gamers to Crypto to AI bros, suddenly isn't as important cause you need less hardware.

At least that's what I've been able to figure out so far. I'm not fully versed in any of this.
True as that may be, the suits and backers still understand that 'more compute = more better' and will buy those GPUs to keep up with the microsharts and the j00gles and the ClosedAIs of the world. In fact, those three will continue to buy to keep up with each other.
All that has changed is that they're now losing (even more) money due to end customers being able to get an 80% solution for nothing instead of a 90% solution for millions and so will start cancelling contracts.
 
Off-topic, but I'm pretty sure this company ran out of money and is going to die any minute now. They haven't done a test flight in years and they have failed to acquire the location to build their full size launcher
It's worse than that. You have to harden the payload to withstand thousands of Gs of acceleration in the launcher and you still need a rocket to get it to orbit--which also has to be hardened against acceleration.

So in the end it can only carry small, niche payloads that require immense development costs, needs an expendable rocket stage and they still haven't actually fully developed the spin launcher itself.

Oh, and they will soon be competing with a monster that can carry arbitrary payloads to orbit with fully reusable hardware while burning only methane and oxygen.
 
The idea that "America is a melting pot" presupposes that immigrants will assimilate and not build little insular communities with the same social ills endemic to wherever they just left. They always do
America tried to speed up the melting pot by putting it in a cheap microwave, but all it did was make bits burn while there's still frozen chunks floating around.
 
It's very clear that releasing DeepSeek as open source was designed to destabilise the Western AI industry - something which wouldn't have happened if techfags had kept their own AI open source from the beginning. But Kike Altman just couldn't resist those moneys!
I will believe one is open source once someone uses that open source to rip out the part that stops it from being racist or helping you plan crimes. Also running locally would be best but I'd settle for uncuck version for now.
 
15 – 20 years are needed. That is the amount of time required to educate a generation. Helping along the way are media and teachers who have become sympathetic (consciously or unconsciously) to the theoretical causes of the subverting nation.

Somehow the zoomers are getting based though. I guess capturing the teachers didnt work.
Everyone who says this can’t explain what the innovation was beyond “it uses less resources”.

Seems to me to be exactly the type of bubble a bunch of retards are going to lose the family farm over. It’s not like some western country can’t do what China does and steal the algorithm

This Deepseek hype is fake news. I think they're pushing it so they can get more support for the AI facilities they want to build here.

I do think Nvidia will be fine in this since their whole business model has been selling the shovels/pickaxes in the AI Goldrush. More people using even with less requirements means they sell even less units to even more people.
 
It meant something to the industrialists, once upon a time.

The Ford English School, which Henry Ford ran to teach his employees English (did you know that you could only get the vaunted "$5/day" wage if you either spoke English already or took lessons, and if your home was inspected to make sure you were living according to American cultural values?), started its first day with learning the words "I am a good American." At the end of the class, for graduation, everyone got into a literal giant "melting pot" and waved flags from inside it to celebrate.

Ford's techniques were seen as so good at assimilating immigrants that if you went through those classes, it counted as your naturalization paperwork and you could become a US citizen. It involved a lot of hard work and being open to Ford's social workers saying "you shouldn't have livestock in your house, in America we do things differently," but for a long time, it really did work.

Assimilation is good because it can take the rough edges off. We started being ashamed of the idea of American culture, and once people felt ashamed to be American or act American, it felt even more shameful to try to teach people from other, obviously superior cultures to act more American.
Isn’t the ford foundation the daddy of a lot of the leftist cultural Marxist bs of the last decade or two? Sad.

Everyone is in such a rush to get those ground floor investments that nobody has stopped to question when it will start paying off.

I’m all about replacing civil service bureaucrats with chatbots once they function properly, but so far we have some ease in meme generation and less tired fingers from photoshop, and a bunch of students and lawyers looking like jackasses for submitting work with fake citations

Depends on your use case. Mistral code is excellent and is migrating to the US. There's also nothing stopping you from just buying server compute and loading an LLM on it. A 70B would only cost $1.5 an hour, and would suit most purposes. You could get the next lowest tier 33B for $700 flat with a 3090 or any card with 24GB VRAM.

I'm running a Q5 Gemma 2 instance with a 16K context on a RTX 3090. It's great for coding if you know how to use it. If you code SOLID and name your method calls descriptively, you can code quite quickly by doing one thing at a time and injecting everything it directly touches into the context.
