Not remotely the same thing. Books almost always have context on what they are, like having an author listed, and hopefully citations if it's about real things. You can figure out more about it. LLMs create confident sounding outputs that are just predictions of what an output should look like based on the input. It didn't reason and doesn't tell you how it generated its response.
The problem is LLMs are sold to people as Artifical Intelligence, so it sounds like it's smart. In actuality, it doesn't think at all. It just generates confident sounding results. It's literally companies selling con(fidence) men as a product, and people fully trust these con men.
Like the other comments say, LLMs (the thing you're calling AI) don't think. They aren't intelligent. If I steal other people's work and copy pieces of it and distribute it as if I made it, that's wrong. That's all LLMs are doing. They aren't "being inspired" or anything like that. That requires thought. They are copying data and creating outputs based on weights that tell it how and where to put copied material.
I think the largest issue is people hearing the term "AI" and taking it at face value. There's no intelligence, only an algorithm. It's a convoluted algorithm that is hard to tell what going on just by looking at it, but it is an algorithm. There are no thoughts, only weights that are trained on data to generate predictable outputs based on given inputs. If I write an algorithm that steals art and reorganizes into unique pieces, that's still stealing their art.
For a current example, the stuff going on with Marathon is pretty universally agreed upon to be bad and wrong. However, you're arguing if it was an LLM that copied the artist's work into their product it would be fine. That doesn't seem reasonable, does it?
Yeah, I know we used to have a lot of local drinks and culture, but it's essentially all been killed by capitalism. Switchel is one that I'm aware of, but I know there are plenty of others.
A lot of the current drinks are evolved from local drinks though, but now they seem boring and generic because they're common everywhere.
I don't speak German.
All sources of power cause some amount of harm. Is it comparing it to other sources? Coal power plants throw radioactive waste into the air. Is it worse than that? I doubt it.
Just so you're aware, in case you don't understand, you don't have to do everything you're allowed to do. In fact, often you shouldn't, especially if you're a cop. Cops should try to keep peaceful and calm situations down, and protect people from harm. Just because they're allowed to cause harm instead and increase tensions doesn't mean they should.
Yeah, but I feel like if you interacted with anyone you'd know something was up, if they don't just tell you. Hell, if the bowling alley had TVs they were probably all on the news. Maybe if he was at home I'd believe he didn't know, but not out somewhere where you have to interact with other people.
I definitely think they could get you for endangering others, or something like that. I don't think it's explicitly illegal, but I'd be surprised if it isn't implicitly illegal.
Although at some point you'll get collisions, but I don't think that's actually an issue. It still equally hard to guess a password from the hash, there will just be some solutions that are much longer than others.
Name (like write out the word) a new plant that isn't safe.
Every power source has issues. Installing solar panels onto houses is more dangerous than nuclear. Large scale solar is safer, though not significantly, and thar includes all nuclear disasters of the past, and it also doesn't include waste that we'll have to deal with in the future like we're already doing with nuclear.
The largest cost of nuclear power is safety. Both reactor & waste.
But, like you said above, it's actually one of the safest sources, even if you include disasters, which are very unlikely now that the technology is so much more mature. Unlike other power sources, their waste is easily accounted for and stored too, and in small quantities. Some of it can even be useful.
Unfortunately, due to how global energy markets work, the profit has become unreliable (ironically in part due to solar/wind) and large nuclear plants are generally considered an economic loss.
This is largely due to regulations specifically designed to increase their costs above dirty energy sources. Those with money will always create barriers for competition, and that's what dirty energy companies have done. There's so many requirements for nuclear plants that other energy sources aren't held back by. Coal can just spew radioactive waste into the air for free, and nuclear has to pay for the safe storage of their waste. Why? Waste for all energy should be paid for by those generating it so they have an incentive to reduce it and it makes all sources equal.
It doesn't need to take that long. The reason it sometimes does is almost always because laws are payed for by dirty energy companies to make it harder to build them. They manufacture barriers and discontent around nuclear to protect themselves, even though they release far more radioactive waste, and don't even have to capture and control it.
If they want to get serious about nuclear power, they could get it done in 5 years. If they just want a small plant then it could be a fraction of that even.
You changed your wording from compelled to allowed. Are they compelled to do this?
Already retreating your wording and moving the goalposts. I see you though.
To an extent, I agree, but I also disagree. At minimum, you're going to be investing time and emotional attachment to it, if not money. Where you live is probably the one of the most important parts of your life, next to who you're living with.
I don't think people should be allowed to invest in property to not live in it though. It shouldn't be purely for financial gain. Primarily the purpose should be about giving people a place to live.
Only if there's one path, no dead ends. A maze branches, a labyrinth doesn't and only winds around as one long path.
Yep. Most people don't know most of our debt is held by US citizens, which is actually beneficial sometimes. The government gets to spend money now and then they pay these people, with interest, in the future. Ideally they spend that internally, promoting more growth. As long as there's growth it's a positive effect.
However, this post (not the comment above) specifies foreign debt holders. For some reason the media only talks about this, not domestic holders, I guess because it sounds scary.
I know that polymer is lighter and cheaper, but wood on guns always looks so nice.
Some of the stuff has the artist's logo still on it.
Nope. I don't really know why they decided to do this, but it does use the existing lore. The Phor are going to be involved, and a bunch of other Marathon stuff is going to be used. It's almost the exact opposite game mode of what Marathon was though.
If they aren't bound by the law, then they aren't illegal though. I agree that's what they're attempting, but the logical implication is the opposite. I would never accuse them of actually being logical though.
Yeah, most experiation dates are made up. Some are real, like milk usually. I'll still drink milk after the date, but I always make sure to smell it if I'm approaching or past that date.
99% of foods you can smell or see if they've gone bad before you taste it. Always use your senses, not some date printed on it by a manufacturer that wants to sell more product. We're literally evolved to identify food that's gone bad.
