Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Gemini in it's current form? No, but it is a fair question to ask for the future

Yeah, twenty years from now at the very least.

Yeah, but it's like fusion. It's always 20 years away for the last 60 years.

Realistically, as a dev who watched AI develop from cheap parlor tricks to very expensive and ecosystem crunching fancy parlor tricks that mangers think will replace all of their expensive staff who actually know how to design and create:

Modern "AI" is fundamentally incapable of actual thought. They are very advanced and impressive statistical engines, but the technology is incapable of thinking at a fundamental level.
