I wrote a school report about iter back in middle school or high school when it was still in the design process and still occasionally check their job listings because I would love to work there and on fusion but we still don’t know if it will ever work like we hit the scientific breakeven with inertial confinement but the scaling on that is terrible and I don’t believe we hit even the scientific breakeven with magnetic confinement

Then we still need to harness the energy from that turn it into work, turn that into electricity and distribute it with enough excess to pay for the whole system which is still a lot of hurdles we need to climb

I heard it in the same vane that I heard that we would have a moon base by 2020 a mars base by 2025 and nuclear fusion in just 10 more years

They sell it, some of it is sold to advertisers but recently companies like palantir have been buying these large collections of data, de anonymizing it and then they can use it to develop profiles about people which they can then sell to the government

And that’s what they admit to doing

Once your data is out there it’s essentially impossible to get it back

You know rough dimensions you don’t have a robot going through and literally mapping every item on the floor, high traffic areas , details about amount of people that live there, possible pets, and then tying it to your IP and then selling that to advertisers.

The crazy thing isn’t that they do that it’s that you have to pay money for an item that then does that without your permission and if you attempt to stop it they brick your item that you paid hundreds of dollars for

I don’t know for certain if they sell your data (but they probably do) but you can use a wifi router and how it reflects in a room you can fully map a room with enough accuracy that you can tell what a person is typing on a keyboard which is kind of terrifying if you think about it

Ah I thought you were the person with 200 tabs

Isn’t there a vast improvement by having a clean set of tabs that you can read the names of compared to 100 little tabs that you have to click through?

Why not just close them and open them back up later? Like you can bookmark the pages so you don’t lose your spot but I find it annoying to find the tab I am looking for at around 10 I would imagine it’s much worse at 200

It’s a question of ethics because why would I pay money for what I consider stolen property?

Courts ruling one way doesn’t make something ethical.

Personally I would never knowingly pay someone money to ask an AI that was trained on stolen data to generate a picture that they then print off. More so I would judge anyone that did pay more than the cost of printing it on a paper. It’s not art to ask a computer to use stolen art to make a prompt

Because it mean the product you are getting is just someone else’s stolen work. Courts have said lots of things are legal that are unethical. When you ask an AI to make art it just is stealing that from other people’s art

Does an AI exist that uses no copyrighted products for its training?

I could be mistaken but wasn’t the issue that when the rods were fully withdrawn the graphite was also partially withdrawn so when they scrammed the first thing that happened was an insertion of positive reactivity from the graphite which was enough positive reactivity to burn up all the xenon which then caused the reactor to go prompt critical?

Like the presence of the graphite wasn’t that bad but it combined with a lack of interlocks and improperly trained operators was the big problem and of course trying to start up at the peak of a xenon transient is never ideal

There is literally a law that prevented things like posting “this shutdown is caused by radical left democrats” on the banner of official governement websites

It has literally never been done before

You can make an argument for some amount of propaganda that lives in everything but nobody ever posted a picture of a bag of cocaine and used it to blame a previous president….

This is magnitudes above anything that was done before it’s like comparing casual trash talk to sucker punching
