That’s a fair point, improving the subscription feed would be in their best interest for the people who use it, even if that number is low.

The problems with that feed which he touched on in the video are pretty significant. If you subscribe to channels that put out lots of content and ones that rarely do, it becomes much harder to use.

One thing he didn’t mention is also that it’s not conducive to discovering and gradually catching up on the back catalogue of a new channel, which is something the home feed excels at.

I’m sure YouTube prefers you use the home feed and has no plans to improve subscriptions, and there are real issues with it, so it’ll probably continue to decline.

THE DEMOCRATS, THEY WERE UPVOTING

you’re ruining the catchy slogan, it’s like you don’t even want this to be Reddit

I didn’t think your point was as shallow as “different people can have different opinions”

I fail to see how this invalidates that someone can hold both the position that current AI is a waste of electricity and pumping out garbage while pointing out the potential social and economic disruption of future iterations of the technology.

If your point was simply that some people hold one position, others hold the other, and others still hold both. Then… thanks? I think we can also call this a waste of electricity.

It seems you’re firmly entrenched and going out of your way to see a contradiction. I’ll let you be.

Consider that there’s no widespread double-think happening and it could just be in your own head at this point.

The cars that replaced horses were several iterations in, early “automobile” devices included steam powered carriages that moved slower than walking.

A technology may start with limited usage while still having lots of potential.

Technologies are always useless until they’re not.

Agreed. I’ve been following the technology of neural networks and generative AI since before LLMs were the new hotness and it’s fascinating and powerful stuff.

My qualms with what’s happening now are more about how we organize our economy and society. Rushing them to market, aggressively trying to cull workers, etc. are critiques of capitalism not AI. In a different world we would all be excited about the prospect of having to work less and reap the benefits of AI, but we wouldn’t be reopening coal plants and leaving people to starve on the street.

Early cars weren’t a threat to streetcars and trains and urban planning but modern cars have reshaped every North American city. You can criticize the inefficiency, poor quality, energy waste, etc. of the technology today while also pointing out the dangers of tomorrow.

are those competing?

It’s being rushed to market and is still very inefficient, but part of the reason it’s being rushed to market is because companies are getting ahead of themselves about the opportunity to fire human employees.

The political binary has rotted your brain. There’s a whole spectrum outside of red and blue if you care to look

It’s not about the sweets and cigarettes it’s just about the wealth acquisition. Same then as it is now. Companies are still using slave and otherwise coerced labor to extract all kinds of wealth from foreign countries.

If any countries try to take control over their own economy by closing it to Western “investment” they get wrecked by the world bank and invaded or sanctioned by the US and/or its allies.

Global capitalism is neo-colonialism.

and many more whose labour is going towards funding this effort by way of taxes

with what they’re all doing to the social contract Luigi is a sign of what’s to come

Not sure why lemmy liberals are assuming Harris and Biden are secretly against Israel, it’s going to be a big disappointment for you all if the Democrats win again and nothing changes.

Legislative bodies get their “teeth” by the state monopoly on violence. The UN having teeth would have to mean UN forces, and it’d even have to mean those forces being among the strongest in the world.

It’s a diplomatic tool, not anything else. It encourages communication and collaboration and discourages conflict.

we can just gently smooch the boots

He might have even had some dangerous written materials they should have searched his whole house. Or maybe dangerous chemicals hidden in his closet. Or maybe dangerous weapons stuffed in the couch cushions. They should have ransacked the whole place.

Why even endanger themselves going in with just cuffs? Flashbang the guy before he can react with a possibly deadly weapon. Drive a battering ram through his front door it only takes a second to open fire.

Put him under surveillance for a few weeks and collect his whole schedule so you can hit him when it’s safe.
