Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•AI is the digital equivalent of an atom bomb. You can refuse it but you can't prevent others from using it... and there may be dire consequences if only the worst people have it.
2·5 days agoWhole lotta ifs and assumptions. “A high enough level of information processing” is meaningless if we don’t have any idea what sort of information processing could lead to consciousness, because it clearly isn’t just raw throughput.
AGI definitionally improves itself, which implies awareness of itself and intention. Those are a huge amount of how we define consciousness.

6·5 days agoYeah no only people who don’t understand the tech are worried about AGI. There is zero evidence to suggest that we’re anywhere on the right path to develop it. The chatbots are not intelligent, they are just a big bag of all the data the trainers could scrape and an algorithm to pull things out of that bag in a way that humans like.
Actual AGI would require us to understand how consciousness works. We don’t at all.
I don’t use their software suite – I can’t remember if it’s possible to get working on Linux, but when I used it on Windows I found it to be mostly a gimmick. I prefer the unfiltered audio.
The hardware is solid, but they’ve also got other options. I used to own an Arctis 5, which was also good. I think the drivers are just a bit higher quality in the Pro but I didn’t have sound quality complaints with the cheaper ones, they just failed after several years.
Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. My biggest recommendation for wireless though is just to avoid Bluetooth. Get something with its own dedicated base station. Not that Bluetooth doesn’t work with Linux, but it’s just not the best tech and introduces a lot of potential failure points.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app?English
21·22 days agoWell that seems like a fairly big deal.

Have you ever used Linux?
You seem very misinformed so I’m just providing you with resources.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which distro is closest to 'GUI/UX for everything, absolutely no CLI' approach like Windows or Mac + and just works (ie passes LTT Linux test)
497·1 month agoGetting hung up on feature parity with Windows and Mac is both a waste of time and literally impossible given the major differences between those two UIs. KDE already does most of that legwork anyway, and you can disable middle click paste easily.
IMO your time would be best spent making GUI tooling that doesn’t already exist. Identify a pain point for you that forces you to the terminal and start there.
Is it a conscious decision if it’s the only employment you can secure? The system we live under is designed precisely to coerce people into work that they otherwise wouldn’t do under threat of starvation. There’s a reason army recruiters go to poor schools.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Says He Wants to 'Drive Housing Prices Up' Instead of Lowering Costs for People Who 'Didn't Work Very Hard'
11·1 month agoOkay well if they were $6 I would have mentioned that. They’re not, they’re like $2.
On many distros it is.
Sure but by this logic every person who has paid taxes to the US, or imported things from the US, is culpable to a degree in war crimes. Is it kind of true? Yes. Is it a useful point? Not really, beyond pointing out the boundless capability of capital to abstract and distance its effects.
Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.
You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?




That is literally because they don’t have the missile range. I also assume they have far less warheads stockpiled.
