Then finally the classic “it’s not me it’s you”. I was talking about China, you’re talking about whatever else. I believe your comment is more descriptive of your behaviors than my own.

This is the other popular tactic that is used. Instead of staying on topic we bring up issues in other countries or regions. It’s like when a kid gets in trouble and they go “mom Sally was stealing cookies yesterday”. It’s even more disheartening to watch adults try and play those childhood games.

Pro China advocates will more so claim that any negative news about china is western fear mongering and incorrect. They won’t ever say directly that China has free speech. They’ll just dance around such subjects with nonsense endlessly and then call in all their buddies to downvote you to hell.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.

But I thought China was a bastion of free speech and other personal freedoms? By how a large portion of people on Lemmy behave you may believe it’s a communist utopia.

Butt sprayer ftw

Arch really isn’t that bad when you’re not mucking around with the AUR. Debian is a little overkill for most normal users in respect to stability but it’s good people have the freedom to do whatever the heck they want with their machines.

Also not really the point I was arguing. It’s pretty clear NN are very different than a human brain. It does though give us some insight to minds more generally but I don’t think current networks are on the order of complexity necessary to really be generating abstractions similar to a human neural network. That said there’s strong arguments to be made about glimpses here and there like models spontaneously creating their own internal workspace like an inner monologue or quasi subconscious. To be clear I’m not saying it is aware or identical to a human mind but it’s interesting to see it self assemlble similar looking structures without any direct guidance.

I think both can more aptly be represented as a special type of graph like from graph theory. Once again fundamentally the human brain isn’t reasoning on the level of neurons and most definitely atoms aren’t reasoning

I don’t think anyone who is aware enough is under the assumption that neural nets are a one to one replication of neurons. It’s more of a special type of graph. That said one could also represent a human brain as a special type of graph.

I’m not saying they are identical but they are similar in the sense that a neuron cannot reason. It’s only in a quite large and densly connected neural network we believe there is reasoning.

Neurons are incapable of reasoning they’re just firing based on a deterministic action potential. What are neural networks doing but creating internal models of reality and guessing what’s next based on patterns?

The white paper on the fundamentals of the current AI push. Everything is for the most part based on that architecture from 2017 but with cleaver twist or two.

Not true but I love the apologist point of view you took. Japanese have always been clear they were the best up until white people showed up with advanced technology and showed them first hand they weren’t. Shits racist as fuck and you can suck their little jap phallice all you want but just admit it’s some racist shit in the same way you can understand that what I just said was racist. In short please stop being dumb.

When they said drain the swamp they meant into the whitehouse and not out of it.

Wait until you read pretty much any source material whatsoever for any of the original Disney movies or older kids movies, like the little mermaid or Willy Wonka.

It’s giving fancy doctors / realtors office now. I think a modern refresh on the original 60’s look would have been better.

I think the pace of development is such that it’s only a few years before humans are no longer in the chain of decision making. It was just 2017 when the infamous transformer paper came out.

Agreed. It’s a vital aspect of society like firemen, social workers, and healthcare workers. I think one aspect is the inability to fire workers who are not healthy for the goal. Once a teacher is tenured it’s difficult to remove them even if they’re detrimental to the goal of teaching the youth.

Yeah when I travel people think the street are paved with gold in the US and Japanese animators are famously progressive in comparison to their culture. Also the obvious weeaboo / otaku love affair so many have with Japanese media. I would say their racism is on a different level. Things they do would be extremely illegal in the US or Europe but are condoned there. I kinda get some of it because their culture has so many unwritten rules and it’s difficult even for immigrants who have been there for years to properly know them all. If people in the US behaved the same there would be mass protests.
