kumatomic , to piracy in The Motion Picture Association will work with Congress to start blocking piracy sites in the US

What else will corporations pay Congress to decide that is in corporations’ best interest for us to not see?

Imgonnatrythis ,

Its good to see congress focusing on the real issues finally. When I pay taxes, this is what I’m looking for. Hopefully they will get around to legalizing kicking homeless people and children in the face soon as this is another one of my priorities.

Won’t someone please think of the children…'s unkicked faces

Thank you for your service.

As a disabled person I find I am not intentionally tripped anywhere near enough. I beseech Congress to act now before I become complacent in my verticality.

Curious, I checked out Chris Dodd and wonder what he's up to. He's a close advisor now to Biden so I'd imagine he's whispering in Biden's ear and whoever will listen, about how much of piracy is 'bad for ya'. In case anyone forgot, Chris Dodd was a major asshole during his 6 year stint (2011 - 2017) with MPAA and he ultimately failed in stopping piracy.

I don't think this latest tactic will work. Congress couldn't even understand Facebook and they couldn't even hold Mark Zuckerberg of all people, accountable for his shit. Congress, MPAA and all the forces in the world couldn't stop Kim Dotcom. MPAA, ACE and whatever, still cannot shut down The Pirate Bay.

They'll just keep bashing their heads on the brick wall. The only victories they've gotten in all of the 20+ year decade war on piracy, is that most times, the sites go down because of lack of funding and support. They only take down big sites because they've found weak links or they've found those run-a-mouth pirates who've gotta go around talking shit about pirating to the point where they're a liability then wonder why their favorite service/site is shut down.

Out of country DNS servers would probably completely circumvent this.

RampantParanoia2365 , to technology in Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in

Almost every time I ask a direct question, the two AI answers almost always directly contradict each other. Yesterday I asked if vinegar cuts grease. I received explanations for both why its an excellent grease cutter, and why it doesn’t because it’s an acid.

Murdoc ,

Showing different viewpoints in order to not appear biased. It’s the cornerstone of democracy after all.

😛

time_fo_that ,

I think this will be a major issue with AI. Just because it was trained on a huge wealth of knowledge doesn’t mean that it was trained on correct knowledge.

kent_eh ,

Just because it was trained on a huge wealth of knowledge doesn’t mean that it was trained on correct knowledge.

Which makes its correct answers and it’s confidently wrong answers look as plausible as each other. One needs to apply real intelligence to determine which to trust, makikg the AI tool mostly useless.

time_fo_that ,

Exactly!

I don’t see any reason being trained on writing informed by correct knowledge would cause it to be correct frequently. unless you’re expecting it to just verbatim lift sentences from training data

BigMikeInAustin , to technology in Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in

All the talk about how much computing power and electricity AI uses, and then Google and Bing just run it for every (most? many? some?) search.

skooks ,

Isn’t it the training of the models which is the most energy intensive? whereas generating some text in answer to a question is probably not super intensive. Caveat: I know nothing

stsquad ,

Yes training is the most expensive but it’s still an additional trillion or so floating point operations per generated token of output. That’s not nothing computationally.

Just consider how long it takes GPT4 to answer a question. Anywhere from a few seconds to a minute in my experience. There’s at least one A100 at probably 400w going full throttle that whole time, plus all the supporting hardware.

And if you were to watch it at 60Hz you would need 82+ years to watch that one second. Hope you know exactly where you’re wanting to look or can scrub it really fast!

Edit: I can’t math. It is 82,000 years.

    Assuming they’re still around. The whole Rooster Teeth getting shut down by Warner Bros a few weeks ago.

    Slo mo has nothing to do with RT I thought? Always assumed that was Gavin and Dan’s creation, and was around even before Gavin showed up to RT.

    altima_neo ,
    @altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

    Not sure, but they’re part of the rooster teeth productions. Didn’t know how the situation is going to affect them.

    SupraMario ,

    From what I’m seeing online is they’re affiliated with RT but it looks like Gavin owns the company.

    When the hell did that happen? That’s crazy. They seem to be still doing videos, so there must be some sort of split.

    Citation needed.

    WagnasT ,

    After seeing the one where they slam Dan’s face with a ball and you see his skull moving under his skin I realized there can be entire fields of study around insanely fast cameras. What we see in real time doesn’t even compare. Also the one where Gav shows how CRTs work is still my favorite.

    MyNamesNotRobert , (edited ) to technology in Google will start showing AI-powered search results to users who didn't opt in

    Normal search results are already littered with useless ai generated seo optimized crap. It’s got to the point where sometimes it’s quicker to learn the knowledge you seek the old fashion way: by reading books.

    Enshitification must lose.

    bbuez ,

    🤓 Well you see actually we trained all our models off all historical text written by humans so it will be more human and you don’t have to read again

    Ive seen akin to this sentiment online and its very baffling

    Belgdore ,

    I just assume that these people never have any problems that they have to solve personally. Otherwise they would be frustrated by the inability to find necessary information. They are either rich or children or both.

    MyNamesNotRobert ,

    Oh, they trained their ais off of that all right… And then filtered out all the stuff they didn’t like such as useful information.

    This is how google starts telling people that brawndo is what plants crave.

    Fuckin dope

    lemmydripzdotz456 ,

    I was doing some napkin math for how many femtoseconds there are between each frame and how that compares to Planck time but this response does a better job capturing how cool this is.

    laserkaspar ,

    I’m curious on your calculations nonetheless.

    HoratioHufnagel ,

    A femtosecond is 10^-15 seconds. Tera Hertz frequency is equivalent to a period length of 10^-12 second, a pikosecond.

    So with 156 tera Hertz a frame is around 6.4 femtoseconds.

    Planck time is around 10^-43, so still some way to go until we reach the clock speed of our universe :)

    Hope I did that right!

    RestrictedAccount ,

    If they recorded at that speed for 1 hour and played it back at 1 frame per second, all the time since the Big Bang will have passed before they get through 40 minutes of recording.

    Perfide ,

    Almost, but not quite. A single second recording played at one fps would take roughly 5 million years to finish, so a 40 minute recording would take 12 billion years to finish at 1 fps. The big bang was 13.8 billion years ago.

    Turun ,

    So, considering the speed of light is approximately 3e8m/s, a frame time of 6.4fs means light can move 1.92 micrometers per frame.

    some_guy ,

    I initially thought, “why would we need this,” but these two comments helped me readjust. I don’t need it but we’ll find a use for it.

    lemann , to technology in This camera captures 156.3 trillion frames per second

    Damn this sounds really impressive, especially the possibilities this could offer in medicine.

    Must have been really expensive to develop!
