Musk makes clear what he and his platform will support. We can expect him to use all his power and technology (X, AI/Grok etc.) to let Trump win. A scary thought. It's impossible to treat X as a neutral platform to use.

...after a few innovation cycles, some models "crashing" we will probably learn 😃, personally I am optimistic about the continuing improvemenr of AI but NOT optimistic about how we handle the risks and bad consequences 🙄 (not worried at all about AGI btw, that's for at the bar)

It will be interesting to see whether this will happen , I am not sure, especially because the people working on the various models are also fully aware of this risk and working on mitigating strategies, also models can also be improved in other ways.

..not much 😀 , probably a score on some kind of benchmark which we have learned don't say that much, on a positive note, at least for companies like OpenAI, i think AI models will keep improving for some time and will be used more often in organisations/companies etc.

OpenAI will probably say anything to increase it's value, make it more attractive to partners, acquire funds to stay alive with their burn rate. So it sounds promising GPT-Next, 100x as powerful as GPT-4, but i believe it when i see it.

It's unethical and illegal to limit Ukraine in it's self-defense against attacks like in #Poltova , 41 killed, 180 injured. Ukraine should be allowed to strike in Russia to prevent attacks like this from happening. There is an alternative that is that western allies offer Ukraine a tight defense against all missiles and drones from Russia, but if we can't or won't, PLEASE let Ukraine defend it self against this slaughter.

Elon Musk shows regularly that his main interest is not free speech but lying and disinformation, just one example of today. He has no ethics as owner of a large platform like X.

This is a problem, almost no market, no competition, one platform with an owner that has some issues, supports extreme-right.

Maar hoe slecht deze mensen ook behandeld zijn , willekeur en disproportionele vergoedingen, lijken me in niemands belang (er wordt beweerd dat dit het geval was, ik weet dus niet of dat zo is), deze slachtoffers (Groningen) hebben geen monopolie op ellende helaas.

Heel herkenbaar, ook als je een goed inkomen hebt valt op hoe ontzettend duur het openbaar vervoer is geworden.Dat kan echt anders als je naar andere landen kijkt.

The myth that Telegram and X are the defenders of free speech will be reinforced by Putin's trolls I think, it's nonsense, if you know anything about those two platforms.

Al het gebabbel over het willen stoppen van immigratie zonder daarbij mee te nemen welke impact dat op economie en bedrijfsleven heeft en dat het alle producten en diensten in ons land dan aanmerkelijk duurder maakt, begint ergerlijk te worden.

...i am wondering whether digital storage in FLAC is not better, CD's can decay / "rot" in time ? Ofcourse it's nice to have CD's or vinyl for the artwork.
