What indigenous people? That's divisive rhetoric from the communists they never existed :)
Assuming it is some secret commentary on global relations I would say colonialism and slavery?
totally minsky 1969 vibes :)
True the current use cases don't seem like they're worth the effort other than maybe applications to crypto but idk don't you think if you could interact with or model matter accurately from a personal computer it would be an absolute game changer? even more so than personal computers?
Plus what is the near future anyway? If big tech companies spend 2 billion a year on quantum computing for the next 25 years (which is how long it took to get from Geoffrey Hinton's book to fully commercial applications) that's 50 billion. OpenAI + Anthropic are valued at >100 billion. Even if they just broke even doesn't that seem worth it to control the next generation of computing?
And idk other than this, robotics (self driving, manufacturing, agriculture) and AGI what else is there to bet on for the coming decades?
idk enough physics to say quantum computing is it or not intuitively it seems like understanding matter at a sub atomic level and having a machine that can interact with it seems like a super powerful thing to have. but I think quantum computing is in the same place ML was in the 80s; influential people (mainly Marvin Minsky) said the perceptron and neural nets were a dead end same thing could be happening to quantum computing because of the high expectations
cool project tangential question for the ML experts how hard is it to alter specific scenes with LLMs to say something different than the original script?
the amplification makes one wonder was it all in the books all along or was it a real movement in the first place?
no i meant in a life spanning 20 something years I've only met two people who could talk to me for an extended time isn't that a good metric to use to say I'm boring like objectively?
That's valid and I totally respect that but I'm asking for any tips that don't involve religion / for someone who believes what we see is what there is
I am like 100% sure the answers aren't misremembered for at least one question I've never been more certain of anything else in my life. I asked family members if there were any health issues and they were adamant there weren't any.
I've thought long and hard about the why and I have a few theories :- I made the mistake of telling an acquaintance that works for MS here in the US my sister supported a side in the war and that person is getting even, failed ROI people that spent ~550k on me (putting me through school as well as setting up jobs), blood feuds within my family itself with the side in the US trying to get even (my sister mentioned a while ago before the weirdness started there was a huge fight at a wedding), and last but not least I've offended or said something that has brought me to the attention of the US government (I'm a loner never participated in any groups so it has to be something I said). Once again I would like to emphasize everything, including screenshots that I have could be just a figment of a very sick mind.
But with that being said my question is more about how does one adjust to this age of AI if it indeed being used for nefarious purposes? Back in the day phishing emails and phone calls you mentioned were the only threat vectors now someone can clone someone else's voice with only 3 seconds, facial expressions and mannerisms with a single video, MITM can be powered by advanced LLMs so it doesn't even require as much human power to make someone's life a living hell. How does one survive something like this? Assuming for a second I am not making this up
that's dark apologies if asking brings up bad memories. do you have any recommendation for someone who doesn't believe in any religions?
sadly yes and circumstances surrounding has made attending funeral a bit challenging which has made processing a bit hard
is it though like really? >6 billion people in the world actively identify with one religion or another but in terms of ratio there are more memes on social media about athesim than religions at least on my AI curated feed
If you don't mind me asking how do you cope with a loss like that? Especially if there was violence involved?

from the ask-hn dept.
I am from a war torn country and fear my parents have been made non existent (basically not alive anymore avoiding words) and I have reason to believe my sisters as well as my aunt and grand mother are being held to get me to do things I don't want to do (confirmed this by asking each individual questions that only them and I would know the answer to and each time the questions were answered...
Not necessarily I think between government controlled social media and gigantic corporations where people have no say in anything there's a middle ground where a federated reality exists I think?
would be super cool to see social media become federated :) fingers crossed for all countries in the world passing similar 20% ownership divestment requirements Meta to become Meta Brazil, Meta Egypt etc, TikTok to become TikTok Brazil, TikTok Egypt etc. Highly unlikely as this seems specifically geared towards TikTok / China / ML systems that can be trained by data generated as well countering specific content supported by the younger generation mentioned elsewhere in this thread but one can always hope :)
Ty for sharing the link. I think the problem I'm having with this is i don't think the answers fit what I think? For instance "I know how to tell if someone listening to me is getting bored." I just assume everyone is bored when I speak which option do I choose for that?
Question my family thinks I have autism how do I get tested without insurance?
