the video claims it "Steam Ship" and not "Screw steamer". But later claims TSS is "triple screw steamship". So I'd be hesitant to trust the rest of the video's content.
What active role? The far right is surging all over Western countries because the post-WW2 liberal, progressive, multicultural order has completely failed.
The experiment has failed so we're moving back to things that are known to work. No need to blame Russia.
Honestly, I hate to tell you this, but the Germans have a whole track record of this fascism malarkey. I'm sure Vlad is pleased as punch, and definitely nudging it along, but if the influence was quite so impactive it would also be a lot more visible.
Never said they were installed by Russia.
Putain only has to find the proper bad seeds and water them.
That is clearly what is happening here. This is well known in Germany, and they are even kinda fighting internally over how much display of sympathy for Russia is proper to show publicly.
Thanks to AI, I was able to finish my bookkeeping and accounting app I had been working on years ago. https://financica.app
It’s not just “vibe coded”, it’s really damn good. Because thanks to AI, whenever I spot an issue, a quality of life increase etc I can just immediately implement it rather than have it seat in a perpetually growing backlog of “maybe one day”.
And there’s SO MANY standards to comply with especially in Europe and I just … implemented all of them. It’s more full featured than any of its competitors.
It runs the bookkeeping and accounting for all of my own companies plus plenty of customers. And the funny thing is for me, this is pretty much a side project. I just have people helping on sales, but all the development is me.
> I can just immediately implement it rather than have it seat in a perpetually growing backlog of “maybe one day”.
My backlog for my side-project/business had a number of things in it that were frankly never going to happen. They only existed in the backlog so I could say they were in the backlog and add a note about who expressed interest in it so that, if it reached a critical mass, I could justify dedicating the time. That backlog is largely empty now. Things I thought were a pipedream or a "well, maybe one day if this gets bigger" became a reality.
While I'm generally excited and enthusiastic on AI progress I'm not sure the Turing test is there yet. In the original conceptualization of a Turing test there was no time limit or judge specified. Turing hints at 5 minutes but does not explicitly state it. I do think a modern LLM and many clever non-LLM programs could easily beat a 5 minute test.
However, I feel the the canonical Turing test bet is still not passed: https://longbets.org/1/
In 2002 Kurzweil bet Kapor that no computer will pass the Turing test. The test proposed is a 2 hour unrestricted conversation with three relative experts, Kurzweil, Kapor, and one third person they agree on. These are pretty extreme conditions, frontier LLMs can fool the most people in shot convos. But, I do not believe any LLM can make it two hours without slipping up against three people who are fairly familiar with LLMs.
I've personally had many 2 hour conversations with frontier models under various personas and I don't think any are close to passing for anyone who has read any quantity of LLM writing. Context rot is still very real, LLMs still have a ton of tells, and they tend not to be willing to push back enough. That being said these are things you notice talking to LLMs a lot, I do think that most of the time frontier LLMs could fool someone who does not use them much for two hours, but they'd probably notice weirdness.
Like many questions here it's somewhat ambiguous. Which Turing test was the original poster talking about? Which Turing test are we thinking about? What is the original spirit of the Turing test? I marked that one as unsure but I could see someone fairly marking it as yes or no.
To add to it… I can’t find the video of it right now, but a while back I saw people taking a stopped escalator, and the escalator failing into an open hole essentially. Since then I’ve started following said recommendations on not using stopped escalators.
What the current president does now has no bearing on what was done then, with a somewhat functioning Supreme Court and an adversarial Congress. The conspiracy theories spread by Snowden helped lead to Trump, and that is the main point I want to get across. While spreading his conspiracy theories, he also helped the CCP, and that is something for which he would stand trial for in the U.S.
If he stayed in the U.S., his punishment would already be over. Now with the current president directly telling DOJ what to do, who knows what would happen if Snowden were to stand trial today, but that isn't a possibility Snowden faced when he fled.
> there needs to be a popular vote across the EU for every commissioner job and the EU Commission head.
Your talking points are misinformed and pretty ridiculous which makes me think you're a troll rather than having a faithful argument. But on the off chance you are trying to have a real discussion: The Council and Parliament both get elected and the commission cannot do anything without them, so it's not like the system is not democratic.
I don't see the US asking for their attorney general or supreme court justices to be democratically elected. At some point you have to trust that the people you actually elect will appoint people who know what they're doing.
Just because there's someone in the chain you're not doing a round of elections on doesn't make the system bad. You need the system to have agency at some point.
