"Perhaps most strangely of all, Somers’ AI clone was designed to dispense health advice, which was allegedly cleared by doctors. Given the tech’s strong tendency to hallucinate facts, we’ll have to take Hamel by his word that AI Somers won’t be misleading the public — let alone mindlessly shilling health products currently featured on SuzanneSomers.com, where the clone will eventually be hosted."

What a world.

Have they ever considered that this "rapture", which was only really added as a thing in the 1800s, has actually already happened and just no humans were worthy and here we all still are?

I actually thought it was a The Onion headline.

When I made the first leap from dual-booting Mint / Windows this is what I did. As someone else said, there does remain some "artifacts" after unless you know what partitions to remove, for me it was a fucky bootloader/GRUB that still retains the Windows EUFI and BIOS menus, etc. But it works.

A few months ago after more than a year of working fine, after an update (I assume kernel, as I really don't use that PC in a way to have fucked it up like that) something tripped/screwed with SecureBoot, though it was always disabled. It would only boot if I navigated to the BIOS through those stupid menus to clear the keys and reboot.

That's what pushed me to just do a full install, and I'd wanted to try KDE anyway. Just from my personal experience, a "native" install is just so much smoother!

More clarification in this article:

"But, that's not actually what happened. Never mind the fact that $300,000 won't buy you anywhere close to 512 H800s (those estimates are based on GPU lease rates not actual hardware costs), the researchers aren't talking about end-to-end model training.

Instead, it focuses on the application of reinforcement learning used to imbue its existing V3 base model with "reasoning" or "thinking" capabilities.

In other words, they'd already already done about 95 percent of the work by the time they'd reached the RL phase detailed in this paper."

Because then they might have to explain to their brain-numbed viewers what Socialism really is

It's what he would have wanted.

Was he also by chance perpetrator of said "domestic violence incident"?

This is a 'quirky' story you should see in the last 30 seconds of your local news station's 11pm broadcast. I haven't really kept up with the devolution of People, but here we are.
