  • To be fair all kings initially became kings exactly the way Trump is trying to do. No matter how they try to paint it as a God-given right or create elaborate origin myths, it all started with violence, marrying into power, betrayal, political scheming and a lot of inbreeding.

    It's kind of appropriate that a kingdom recognizes this (although that was probably not what they were trying to do).

  • I don't know how to reconcile all these studies saying that AI productivity gains have not materialized and that AI agents are atill uncapable of even the simplest of office tasks with the very measurable loss of jobs.

    And I see this same dissonance at my job. Revenue going up, hiring going down, layoffs every quarter and a big push for everyone to use AI. But at the same time basically no real success story from all this increased AI usage. Probably just me, but I just don't get it.

  • Might not be the biggest risk to your life but it's 2.3% out of 55 Millions death (so, just to put things into perspective, we're talking 1.6M deaths per year).

    Besides, the risk is not only death directly in an accident. For those 33% who died from heart diseases: stress is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the paper does mention specifically work stress as a risk factor

    The risk of a cardiovascular event was higher in patients with a history of social isolation (OR, 2.47), marital stress (OR, 2.28), work stress (OR, 3.2), childhood abuse (OR, 2.78), or trauma (OR, 2.67).

    Again not all of it will be due to commuting to work, but raising your stress levels by having you commute needlessly in traffic is not good for your health even if you don't die in a car crash.

  • for me the dealbreaker is the lack of a second physical sim slot. I really like the concept of Fairphone and would absolutely buy one, but I have a work sim and a personal one, both physical (not eSim) so Samsung it is for now

  • Let's not talk about accusing Meta of murder for a minute, but can we at least agree that a "flirty chatbot modeled on Kendall Jenner" that insists you should meet in real life and gives you a real address does not sound like a great idea?

  • LLMs can't do protein folding. A specifically-trained Machine Learning model called AlphaFold did. Here's the paper.

    Developing, training and fine tuning that model was a research effort led by two guys who got a Nobel for it. Alphafold can't do conversation or give you hummus recipes, it knows shit about the structure of human language but can identify patterns in the domain where it has been specifically and painstakingly trained.

    It wasn't "hey chatGPT, show me how to fold a protein" is all I'm saying and the "superhuman reasoning capabilities" of current LLMs are still falling ridiculously short of much simpler problems.

  • As a paid, captive squirrel, focusing on spinning my workout wheel and getting my nuts at the end of the day, I hate that AI is mostly a (very expensive) solution in search of a problem. I am being told "you must use AI, find a way to use it" but my AI successes are very few and mostly non-repeatable (my current AI use case is: "try it once for non-vital, not time-sensitive stuff, if at first you don't succeed, just give up, if you succeed, you saved some time for more important stuff").

    If I try to think as a CEO or an entrepreneur, though, I sort of see where these people might be coming from. They see AI as the new "internet", something that for good or bad is getting ingrained in everything we do and that will cause your company to go bankrupt for trying too hard to do things "the new way" but also to quickly fade to irrelevance if you keep doing things in the same way.

    It's easy, with the benefit of hindsight, to say now "haha, Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for $50 Millions and now they are out of business", but all these people who have seen it happen are seeing AI as the new disruptive technology that can spell great success or complete doom for their current businesses. All hype? Maybe. But if I was a CEO I'd be probably sweating too (and having a couple of VPs at my company wipe up the sweat with dollar bills)

  • CoMaps @sopuli.xyz

    is comaps data updated only when the app updates?
