That’s one interpretation, but the description i gave includes a much larger range than that

That’s exactly what i was trying to say. I don’t have the chance to make an impact on society at large, but i absolutely do make a very significant impact on the individual people in my personal circle, and that’s extremely valuable.

Old enough to have a significant amount of gray hairs, but not so old that it’s all gray

But that’s awesome! Having simpler dreams means you can actually achieve them! That’s so much better than having dreams of stardom that results in disappointment and wasted life opportunities for 99.99999% of those people.

And also, your dreams sound like very meaningful things that make a great life!

Maybe at your age. At my age almost all of the Something Great bells have rung. Don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of very meaningful things i can accomplish, and many important impacts i can make on individual people’s lives, - but for me the possibility of doing something that has a broader impact on society is pretty much gone. But so what, the impact i can have on individual people’s lives is still very valuable, and my own subjective experience of life is just as important as anyone else’s! So i try to make my own experience of living as good as it can be!

That I never did Something Great™ with my life.

Didn’t become a rock star, didn’t cure cancer, didn’t invent a world changing technology, didn’t become a famous artist, etc.

I didn’t know specifically what I was aiming to do, but for some reason I assumed that i would do something that made a big impact on the world. I was totally convinced of it. And it’s not because my parents constantly told me that or anything. The closest i heard was a lot of “you have so much potential if you’d only apply yourself!” Ugh.

This is a misleading headline. The “scaling” used in the quote refers to the size of text data that the models get trained on. So now that the vast majority of written text is already in the training library, that means the training library can’t be scaled up any further than that.

BUT that doesn’t mean ai isn’t going to be able to improve and expand it’s capabilities. Increasing the training library size is a ‘quick’ and ‘easy’ way to improve ai output, but it’s not the only way. At a bare minimum there are a lot more potential ways that current ai tech can be applied than is currently commercial available, and those are very much already in the development stages.

I get that many of us don’t like the idea of ai, but we don’t do ourselves any favors by falling for misinformation just because it says what we want to hear

Reminds me ever so slightly of the Genesis game Fatal Labyrinth. It’s a terrible video game, but if you’re curious…

You can only speak for yourself, there are plenty of people that do regret it

Where is gender plasma?

Eh they could do whatever they want. They could declare that “the point in time has been reached that god wanted women to be able to be priests from. His plan has always been that women were not allowed to be priests until a certain date had passed, and now that date has arrived.”

Honestly i kinda do like the feeling of having a fever. That pleasant feeling isn’t worth being sick, but i do like that feeling

An ancient cheap small laptop would do it fine. Plex or Jellyfin software

The Aurora forecast maps don’t show it going that far south at all.
