there's also already 500 videos doing the same thing.

it's not really worth the extra toll on our ressources right now. especially not while it's also still just making up answers and giving out wrong answers to questions

As with anything as more efficiencies are included in the manufacturing/supplier process the price will go down. But that happens incrementally per deployment.

As parts are replaced the overall costs become cheaper and when a new windmill has to be deployed that becomes cheaper but as even you say that's 20 years.

Wind power from what I've read has a very low ROI. One figure I saw was 4%. The article then says the windmill would have to be in service for 22 years to make that money back. And 8% was considered the barometer.of whether a product was worth investing in.

So how much do you gain? If you hard cut at 20 years you're not making your break even. At that point you're relying on the manufacturing efficiencies to be cost feasible for each deployment which does not happen overnight when you consider the entire supply chain.

This same exact thing happened with solar panels. Very high cost for those initial end users who had to wait much longer to see any ROI versus those now getting into. A better manufacturing and supply chain process means less cost means faster ROI to the end user.

They alredy are. The Matrix was a documentary.

No and no.

I've never been on FB.

I wouldn't normally associate Superbowl ad spend with "cheap", but I take your point. Is there some indication that the ability to fake these images is outpacing the ability to detect the fakes?

> It isn’t about the need to invent from whole cloth. Get a few look alike actors, and some voice and head deepfake AI and now you’ve got Joe Biden on a hot mic wanting to grab em by something even more vulgar. Hell, forget the actor, I could get an audio clip of Biden asking for Arizona to find eleven thousand seven hundred and eighty TWO votes.

> A quarter of the country believes the election was stolen based off lies and zero evidence. Imagine what kind of “evidence” can be produced by bad actors that will be repeated over and over on propaganda networks “just asking questions”.

I think this is a bit backwards, people don't even need evidence to believe what they want to believe, why do you assume that fake evidence would make that problem worse? At least with fakes you have the blowback from them being exposed as fake, with pure fantasy you can't even do that.

Either way calling these systems "AI" is only useful to marketing teams and hysterics, they aren't artificial intelligence. This is to the point that the FTC recently had to release a warning to stop with the bs marketing.

You can certainly use insults to deliver an ad hominen, there are others, such as attacking character or reputation or with motive. Ad hominen is used to describe a strategy in which a person using it will focus on the person making an argument rather than the content of the argument.

cool! Can't wait for more days like this in the future.

China has a real population issue in their hands. It will change inevitably as this rate with global change from China to other countries for resources and their declining population.

Too bad it most likely only going to be for windows 11 users

It for sure is to an extent. But it’s not a bad thing either. The amount of control China has with chips if they try to just take over Taiwan is very threatening. Crippled with Chinas significantly decreasing population projects it puts us in a very bad spot in the coming decades should we not be reliant. I think it’s not just MIC but an all hands on deck scenario.

China has the most renewable energy investment in the world, and most western countries have far higher historical contributions because they’ve been burning fossil fuels so much longer

Because the rest of us are adults with lives, and we don't define ourselves by brand allegiance.

Apart from the fact that clean energy is the cheapest form of power generation

Fuck all compared to every other form of power generation.

I’ll never understand you people, so fucking arrogant that with two seconds of “thinking” you somehow have the impression you’ve come up with pricing problems nobody who actually works in the industry has ever noticed

I wouldn't hold my breath, Firefox can't even do hdr yet

I 100% think their aim is to get ahead of China sb be self reliant, and an alternative for the rest of the world.

If it’s what I want it to be, why should I care, as the average Joe?

Entire paper starts and ends with "

If the code is freely available what are the odds we’ll eventually see it come to Firefox, either vanilla or through extension?

When the fake Shortages were still in full swing, and a top end card cost more than 2 month's salary.

They're not the largest for one, let's get the record straight on that. They steal IP like it's their national pastime, without the West supplying innovation and buying their cheap shit their economic successes are going to evaporate. Combine that with their demographic collapse and it just looks kinda dumb for you to say all that...

If I was a home owner, I'd make my own energy.

They're also looking for tech to have drones autonomously map underground cities, without aid from GPS. So you can't hide from it all, either.
