They are both super fucking cool and appropriate to wear with any outfit, so it doesn't matter.

The term "AI bubble" refers to the idea that the excitement, investment, and hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) may be growing at an unsustainable rate, much like historical financial or technological bubbles (e.g., the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s). Here are some key aspects of this concept:

  1. Overvaluation and Speculation: Investors and companies are pouring significant amounts of money into AI technologies, sometimes without fully understanding the technology or its realistic potential. This could lead to overvaluation of AI companies and startups.

  2. Hype vs. Reality: There is often a mismatch between what people believe AI can achieve in the short term and what it is currently capable of. Some claims about AI may be exaggerated, leading to inflated expectations that cannot be met.

  3. Risk of Market Crash: Like previous bubbles in history, if AI does not deliver on its overhyped promises, there could be a significant drop in AI investments, stock prices, and general interest. This could result in a burst of the "AI bubble," causing financial losses and slowing down real progress.

  4. Comparison to Previous Bubbles: The "AI bubble" is compared to the dot-com bubble or the housing bubble, where early optimism led to massive growth and investment, followed by a sudden collapse when the reality didn't meet expectations.

Not everyone believes an AI bubble is forming, but the term is often used as a cautionary reference, urging people to balance enthusiasm with realistic expectations about the technology’s development and adoption.

I wonder if any Lemmy servers run on Windows without WSL. I can't think of any hard dependencies on Linux, so it should be possible.

I think you're right, since a website like SteamHistory is definitely not going to bother establishing a representative in an EU state the only recourse would be to try to go through the US legal system and it's far from clear to me how that would go. GDPR seems like it was written with actual businesses in mind, but SteamHistory isn't exactly that. I think a business would want to comply or lose access to a valuable market, but there's less leverage on a (seemingly) privately run web site.

Was this GPT4?

You can both relax! I checked each word and neither of you misspelled anything.

I'm not personally in favor of preemptively blocking threads on my instance and I don't find the EEE argument at all convincing in this case. But other instances doing that is no problem at all, it's fine!

Stochastic Parrot

For what it's worth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_parrot

The term was first used in the paper "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big? 🦜" by Bender, Timnit Gebru, Angelina McMillan-Major, and Margaret Mitchell (using the pseudonym "Shmargaret Shmitchell"). The paper covered the risks of very large language models, regarding their environmental and financial costs, inscrutability leading to unknown dangerous biases, the inability of the models to understand the concepts underlying what they learn, and the potential for using them to deceive people. The paper and subsequent events resulted in Gebru and Mitchell losing their jobs at Google, and a subsequent protest by Google employees.

This game was actually never coin-op. I think the designers may have been similarly motivated though- you can make a game last a lot longer if it's extremely difficult to beat.

I was an extremely faithful catholic until the age of 18. Around then I decided to start taking my faith even more seriously and started digging into the big questions and what the leaders in my (Catholic) church thought. Very soon after I was a very angry atheist. So very fucking angry,

These days I'm simply not preoccupied with the religion question. I have better things to do.
