  • EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine

  • That's unexpected. Are they realizing that rolling over for Trump doesn't lead anywhere?

  • EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine

    Jump

  • That's not how it works. Questions is how much more money they made by breaking this specific rules. If breaking the rules allowed to increase the profits by more then 3.5B then the fine is too small. If, for example, they made only $1B extra by breaking those rules then they effectively lost $2.5B and will stop breaking them.

  • Well, I will keep my first hand opinion about it then.

  • The hardest thing I did was demolishing and old building. A lot of dust and rusty nails. I was careful and lucky enough no to hurt myself but some people did cut themselves or stepped on a nail. It took us couple of weeks to demolish the entire building. After that the construction itself was easy. It's just 2x4 and pneumatic nail guns. When we were bricklaying I would have to carry the bricks for 1-2h a day. The rest of the day was filled with easier tasks. There was a forklift on site to move heavy things, concrete was pumped. There was nothing backbreaking. I worked at union sites and private projects. The days were long but it wasn't that hard.

    What's your experience? What types of projects did you work on? What did you find the most difficult?

  • But how can you know it's chatbot and not just a human pretending to be a bot?

  • I worked construction in US (illegally). It's not hard work. Boring but not hard. It's not like agriculture where Americans show up and resign after one day. We had couple of Americans hired with us for legal reason and the main issue was that they sucked. They would finish some union training course and know some basic bricklaying for example but were unable to solve any issues when needed. They were like simple robots: able to follow simple instructions but unable to improvise. The guys from Eastern Europe and South America were used to figuring things out on the spot.

    It's different where it comes to more specialized professions like electricians or plumbers. I saw Americans doing this independently. When it comes to entry level jobs they sucked.

  • What If There’s No AGI?

    Jump

  • I don't think you can define AGI in a way that would make it substrate dependent. It's simply about behaving in a certain way. Sufficiently complex set of 'if -> then' statements could pass as AGI. The limitation is computation power and practicality of creating the rules. We already have supercomputers that could easily emulate AGI but we don't have a practical way of writing all the 'if -> then' rules and I don't see how creating the rules could be substrate dependent.

    Edit: Actually, I don't know if current supercomputers could process input fast enough to pass as AGI but it's still about computation power, not substrate. There's nothing suggesting we will not be able to keep increasing computational power without some biological substrate.

  • What If There’s No AGI?

    Jump

  • You're talking about consciousness, not AGI. We will never be able to tell if AI has "real" consciousness or not. The goal is really to create an AI that acts intelligent enough to convince people that it may be conscious.

    Basically, we will "hit" AGI when enough people will start treating it like it's AGI, not when we achieve some magical technological breakthrough and say "this is AGI".

  • MTG warns Epstein clients she’ll ‘say every damn name’ on House floor as she tells sex abuse victims, ‘Give me a list’

  • It's hard go to to jail for defamation. Say the names and start a GoFundMe to cover the fine. I'm sure the public will bail you out.

    I'm saying this to one of the victims, not MTG.

  • President Javier Milei gets judge to ban publication of audio recordings of his sister inside presidential palace

    Jump

  • But they are pretending not to be. Every week Trump says he's mad at Putin. Honestly I don't know why they are doing this. EU knows they are allies but is to weak to do anything about it and MAGA base loves Putin now. I think it's only so that Republicans can pretending Democrats are crazy and the whole "Russia Russia" thing was a scam.

  • Relax everyone, it's just some algorithm, not oven with LLM chat bot. It's not even clear if it uses machine learning. It's "AI" as a marketing term, not AI in technical sense.
