I also don't understand this. Trump is known to be a conman. It was so obvious that he will do this. Was the alternative actually that bad?

I am concerned about the health of leopards. They have so much to eat in the upcoming days and weeks.

I think that for many of his voters, the system doesn't work anymore for them. So they want it to change and they only see this change possible with Trump and Vance. Very sad.

I think this is a good example that free speech is not free consequences. The question is who carries the consequences. My guess is the two girls that may get mobbed at least until they graduate, maybe even longer.

Btw, I am pro free-speech, I just find it kind of sad that more often than not the consequences of free speech from people like Ted Cruz hit the people he's speaking about.

I'm from Germany, which means that we learned an re-iterated the history around the crumbling of Democracy in the Weimar Republic and the rise of the 3rd Reich in school, in several different subjects.

And now, more than 20 years since I graduated, I still don't understand how people could vote for Hitler with his rhetoric and his hatefulness. I sit here and can't believe that Donald Trump has realistic chances to win, and he will get votes from people who should know better and not only the votes from obvious Nazis. It's depressing.

As far as I understood, the robot taxis may start production by 2026 or 2027. Shouldn't we live all on Mars by then, according to Musk?

My understanding of the whole "being beneficial for humanity" is that:

1. It's kind of a meme that you need to have as a silicon valley start-up. Like Google's niw dropped "don't be evil".
2. If the founders and the investors, the share holder, get rich or richer, then this is already beneficial to humanity. In a net positive way similar to trickle-down-economics. At least thatvis what I think their line of thinking is.

Having said that, I think LLMs or Machine Learning can be used for useful things but I also think - as stated - the message " being beneficial for humanity" is hollow in a broader sense.

And I was always taught that capitalism allocates the resources ideally. /s

I wonder if I'll see it say "from lemmy" someday?

That's the spirit!

This is an old paper that it explains the basics: https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs588/static/stack_smashing.pdf

Today there are a lot of mitigations where the steps of the paper don't work anymore, but the general ideas should be still valid. I'll hope you find the example you are looking for in there.

On another note: What is your intention? And can I participate 😈

The crowdstrike f*-up is so bad it travels back in time. That's my best guess

First of all it concentrates power and wealth on the owners of the models (Microsoft, OpenAI) or the ones that provide the tools (Nvidia).

Yes, there is truth in it, that people who couldn't afford to pay someone to create art, or get consulting, can get this now to a certain extend (if they can afford internet access and pay the AI services they need). But this comes also at the price of lowering the income of the people who provided these services. They now need to compete in the business creation market and not in the market that they trained for. Not everyone can create and maintain a business with or without starting money, just from a skill point of view. Nor does everybody want to.
