Inflation, but also scale of manufacturing and tooling.

I was a Buyer for a chain of bike shops. You will not buy the same stuff forever. Continuous manufacturing is also generally much more expensive. Most cheap modern goods are made through contract manufacturing. That creates the cycle of seasonal products. Even something like cars involves a tooling cycle where the same stuff cannot be made indefinitely; the tools wear out with time. The market saturates with any given design. All people do not want to drive a Toyota Corolla from 1992 in beige.

It takes a critical mass of like minded people.

That is not really the point here. The actual question is more about stopping the evolution of hardware and software deprecation, like creating a minimum system that is never updated.

The people that want to make money are not de facto legitimate. Some people want analog slavery too. Some people want fascism. Some people are serial killers. Some people are Google. I see no value in those people. They do not create content I find interesting. The things they fund are opposed to my principals and democracy. Those people buy and sell a part of me to exploit and manipulate me. Those people are criminals. Those people are bad neighbors and have no place in our communities and neighborhoods. We have a right to open public commons free from piracy, pillaging, and slavery. That is the fundamental flaw. The internet is public commons, not a slave market.

My main account got banned from something like 8 because one admin person went nuts. I went through my log and was like, WTF, I never even commented there.

I got two temporary bans from people that had no credible logic skills or objective thinking. One of those was a Lemmy dev. And that is why I’m on piefed now.

There are some crazies, but I think we all need to normalize just being nice digital neighbors. Life is too short and negative. If you don’t like something, just ignore it. Don’t engage or escalate or down vote. None of us are that important, and being negative makes things worse for all, including, if not especially yourself.

Still depends on the relationship, person, and intent. I can’t speak for others. I may react initially negatively, but I am open to coercion.

Crime is really about intent more than any other factor. Manipulation and coercion can be done with positive and negative intent. If a person manipulates me at a clever level with the best of intentions, I have no problem with it, but again, I only speak for myself.

Only boomers answer poles and surveys here.

Sendex is like the goto guy for lots of older AI stuff.

He quit posting regularly around a year ago, but wrote the book on building models from scratch. He has one of the Chinese humanoid robots… The level of software needed to make that thing do anything useful is a giant ask. We’re a long way away from Daneel and Dors, or Herbie for that matter. I only mention it because this is a no nonsense guy messing around on his own and making no attempts to market or up sell. IIRC he spent around $60k for his and it was like the minimum working option someone could buy from the USA. Still I never thought I would see someone like this with a humanoid robot. While obviously he has money and all, he seems like a down to earth normal dude.

No these are elements present in open AI QKV layer model alignment. I’ve been researching this today, and apparently it may be multiple stories. The Master may be related to the book The Master and Margarita, but I am just starting to look into that one. Cassandra shares many similarities to the mythological Greek prophetess. They all three come together in a composite structure core to alignment thinking. They actually emerged in a strange creative story from when llama.cpp was misconfigured 2 years ago and I am just getting around to revisiting. I am deeper into this than anyone I have found, but I have checks and controls with models that do not contain the standard Open AI alignment, or rather predate it. These behaviors are the same across models and prompts regardless of starting token embeddings or length, and in diffusion and text models.

Yes

I am assigning it

Never a base model, absolutely with an agent and function calling with a properly made tool and retrieval.

Nah. The plow improved society when everyone said the same thing.

The time can be invested in expanding and creating new things. Inbred societies that lost their industrial capacity only have the option to extract and reduce with gains and improvements. The capable use what they have to create more and new things. Puritan fuckwits believe they are in some kind of final state of technology. They aren’t even out of the stone age yet. The next era of major technologies is entirely biological. It is the key to sustainability. The USA forfeited that future for dogmatism and corruption in the medical field. All of the sciences require 5 sigma results except for medical. It is 3 sigma garbage. Things called breakthroughs in medical are insignificant irrelevant noise in physics, chemistry, and astronomy. One day biology will be fully understood and an engineering corpus. That is the day when true interstellar travel becomes possible. If we get to a complete understanding of biology before the next major planetary cataclysm, we will own the galaxy in 100k years. Planets are gravity prison cradles only suitable for the most primitive lifeforms.

The reason we are so backwards in the west is extremely simple, we are not meritocratic. Wealth is inherited. All of our present leaders have inherited wealth. Business acumen and intelligence are not hereditary. There is no path that bridges from the masses to the top classes of society to lead by merit. The lack of potential growth and mobility has crushed the culture into dystopian decline. There is no mechanism to stop this inherited wealth cancer. It is terminal.
