Yeah this is the part about all this AGI talk and AI going rogue, it requires a prompt. It responds to an input. These agentic systems have powerful tools that can do other things then spit out text but it’s always responding to a prompt. It may be in a loop responding to its own prompt but it’s still a prompt. And what it spits out is never really anything new. It’s some derivation of what it’s ingested. Actual human intelligence works differently. We do come up with new ideas, new thoughts. So I’ve often thought these LLMs are a dead end to AGI.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•This is the back of my 10" Mini server rack -- Custom made 3D printed power modules for each serverEnglish
2·4 days agoI’m assuming this is daisy chained. In a power strip there are not cables between the plugs that can be unplugged. Nor are there switches on each individual plug that can be accidentally flipped off. Any extra component is a failure mode. If it gets unplugged it loses power just the same as any failure. Now don’t get me wrong, I think this design is clean, expandable, and offers some neat features over a plain power strip, but to suggest there aren’t extra risks associated with this design is a bit short sighted.

1·5 days agoApparently bi not longer means two. At least half of these had more than two wheels. From an engineering standpoint almost all of them were pretty cool.
Strapping a stuffed giraffe on the from of a bicycle is really kinda low effort though.
Is this an actual production iPhone Duo?

41·6 days agoCouldn’t have said it better myself.
What would be nice is if this very illegal offer was actually investigated and prosecuted.
Edit:
After I thought about this for a minute it’s not much different then:
- “Elect us and we’ll cut your taxes by $5,000.”
- “Vote for us and we’ll cancel $10,000 in student debt.”
- “Give us Congress and we’ll increase Social Security benefits.”
But I guess coming from him everything seems illegal and grifty.

1·10 days agoThat’s essentially the question getting asked. I don’t live there but honestly I think id always answer no, because I don’t trust politicians at all so no to the rewriting the state constitution.

At the very least a recall election. People voted for a democrat and got this douchebag.
