  • i mean, this post is absolutely on topic for here

  • And I do worry that the “the fda is too cautious” pushers are actually motte baileying for the total removal of the fda.

    they absolutely are, see also Scott Alexander stanning for these guys

  • Control of resident data could be kept at municipality level

    no, they'll fuck it up as hard as possible. These are not people who give a shit about the privacy of the plebs.

  • controller of the key pair

    never.

    These are not people who are going to do things correctly, let alone doing complex things correctly. They are absolutely going to come up with some hamfisted bullshit, there is no way they are not. If they really try to do this, the most likely version is a central ID register but it's privatised.

    i once had a coiner demand in outrage that i prooove my claim that bitcoin was started by libertarians.

    anyway. dunno if the same will hold in AI grift, but yeah recycling refuted claims as if nothing happened is standard in other areas of pseudoscience.

  • lol, there has literally never been a gain of function claim that checked out

    you're posting like an evangelist, this way to the egress

  • sorry you don't like anger! we'll improve your lemmyverse experience

  • profound reasoning indeed, this way to the egress so you can contemplate further

  • GPT-2 was peak LLM because it was bad enough to be interesting, it was all downhill from there
