Wouldn't call carney and the liberals lefty, there centrists. The left NDP party under Singh has been losing ground as people have ben rallying around the liberals to make sure the conservatives don't win.

Still would probably piss off trump and his crew. They just probably won't get much progress, but considering the direction of a lot of other western countries not backsliding into fascism is pretty good.

Tradwife content is on the rise for women as well, more and more young people are buying into this mythical simpler past as the world gets more complex, alienating and difficult.

For anyone asking why it's strange, from the article

Traditionally, the dollar would strengthen as tariffs sink demand for foreign products.

If you're looking at the dollar with supply and demand, if international trade to the u.s. decreases with tarriffs, then the amount of dollars leaving the u.s. also decreases and thus the supply of dollars on the international market. Assuming demand remains constant then the strength of the dollar should go up.

For this decrease in strength you have to look to demand which has to decrease enough to counteract the tarriffs plus more. This decrease in demand is coming from both decrease in demand for assets priced in dollars (u.s. companies stocks, treasury bonds, real estate etc.) And retaliatory tarriffs which lower demand for u.s. goods.

Robots don't get drunk, or distracted, or text, or speed...

Anecdotally, I think the Waymos are more courteous than human drivers. Though waymo seems to be the best ones out so far, idk about the other services.

triangle of the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas

Hamas triangle? Do you mean the red triangle on the Palestinian flag, the one that predates hamas by half a century?

What hamas slogans were painted? The picture only shows "free gaza", "killers" and "complicity", nothing supporting hamas, unless anything calling for the end of the genocide is supporting hamas.

Yeah, checks notes.. Cooper Longbottom, Kasia Wlaszczyk, Shane O’Brien, and Roberta Murray are surely trying to turn Germany into a caliphate...

I guess that's one advantage of stack overflow, sometimes you need a guy to tell you the entire basis of your question is dumb and wrong.

The actual survey result:

Asked whether "scaling up" current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to succeed. 

So they're not saying the entire industry is a dead end, or even that the newest phase is. They're just saying they don't think this current technology will make AGI when scaled. I think most people agree, including the investors pouring billions into this. They arent betting this will turn to agi, they're betting that they have some application for the current ai. Are some of those applications dead ends, most definitely, are some of them revolutionary, maybe

Thus would be like asking a researcher in the 90s that if they scaled up the bandwidth and computing power of the average internet user would we see a vastly connected media sharing network, they'd probably say no. It took more than a decade of software, cultural and societal development to discover the applications for the internet.

it will be relatively easy to strip off

How so? If it's anything like llm text based "water marks" the watermark is an integral part of the output. For an llm it's about downrating certain words in the output, I'm guessing for photos you could do the same with certain colors, so if this variation of teal shows up more than this variation then it's made by ai.

I guess the difference with images is that since you're not doing the "guess the next word" aspect and feeding the output from the previous step into the next one, you can't generate the red green list from the previous output.

*Biden enables genocide

Progressives: that's fucked up, we should stop supporting Israel

Liberals: ackchually its not a genocide because they only killed a quarter of the population, and you should stay quiet about this because it'll just help trump win

*Trump enables genocide

Progressives: that's fucked up, we should stop supporting Israel

Liberals: I told you so, I told you so, I told you so....
