Because one moment they’re in favor of the federal government having power, and the next they’re in favor of the states having power.
Because if they want states to have power, they should only be concerned with things that affect their state. If another state makes bad decisions, we can only hope that its population corrects those mistakes as quickly as possible.
Or if they want the federal government to have power, everyone should be informed of changes, both the population and the states. These laws should benefit the majority.
There is also a third option: there should be a balance between state and federal power.

MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. They just memorize patterns really well.English3·3 days agoIn fact, simple computer programs do a great job of solving these puzzles…
If an AI is trained to do this, it will be very good, like for example when a GPT-2 was trained to multiply numbers up to 20 digits.

Here they do the same test to GPT-4o, o1-mini and o3-mini

They just memorize patterns really well.English12·3 days agoIf the situation gets dire, it’s likely that the weather will be manipulated. Countries would then have to be convinced not to use this for military purposes.

They just memorize patterns really well.English142·3 days agoThey need to convince investors that this delay wasn’t due to incompetence. The problem will only be somewhat effective as long as there isn’t an innovation that makes AI more effective.
If that happens, Apple shareholders will, at best, ask the company to increase investment in that area or, at worst, to restructure the company, which could also mean a change in CEO.

Fuck you!” US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shouted loudly at Elon Musk in the halls of the West Wing last monthEnglish5·4 days agoI understand that Peter Thiel doesn’t like being in the public eye or being recognized. On the other hand, with Musk and Trump, they’re so addicted to attention that they do so many stupid things to get it.
Sam Altman would be one of Peter Thiel and Musk.

MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuitEnglish4·5 days agoThe only problem I see is that such storage could conflict with EU privacy laws, but the rest is normal.

MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big techEnglish2·12 days agoIt’s basically how any business starts today, whether it’s computers, the internet, or the industrialization of processes.
AI is undergoing the same product life cycle, which is divided into four stages. In Stage 1, a company has a novel product, and it’s the only one, so the price is usually very high and profits are higher.
In Stage 4, there’s fierce competition; the novel product is now available to many companies, the price is usually cheap, and profits are low. Technology companies look for developing sectors to stay in Stage 1 as much as possible and avoid reaching Stage 4.
AI may be between Stage 1 or 2, or perhaps Stage 3 of the product life cycle. Stage 4 is still a long way off, and we’ll only say we’re in that stage if AI becomes very cheap and very common in society.

MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•AI is rotting your brain and making you stupidEnglish21·15 days agoThis has happened with every generation when a new technology changes our environment, and our way of defending ourselves is to reject it or exaggerate its flaws.
Because throughout history, many tools have existed, but over time they have fallen into disuse because too many people and/or there is a faster method that people use. But you can use that old tool.
MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?English2·16 days agoThere is a phenomenon called Emergence, in which something complex has properties or compartments that its parts don’t have on their own.
In programming, we can see that software displays properties or behaviors that its languages alone don’t have.
If an AI demonstrates true consciousness, a major change will occur in all branches, including law and philosophy.
MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Japan's animation industry has embraced AIEnglish1·20 days agoJapan’s Copyright Act, amended in 2019, is largely interpreted as allowing the use of copyrighted materials to train AI tools — without the consent of the copyright holder. The law, specifically more permissive than those in the EU or the US, aims to attract AI investors to the Asian country.
It’s actually strange that Japan allows this because that country normally has very strict copyright laws compared to the EU and the United States.
Charlie Fink, former Disney producer and current adjunct professor of cinematic AI at Chapman University, feels that the use of the rapidly developing tech will “lead to a new golden age of Hollywood,” one that would be “highly democratized, because an individual could make a film for a few thousand dollars,” he told DW
If Fink is right in what he says, in the future, I think there will be a debate about whether AI is a good thing or a bad thing. Because if AI makes cinema a movement like free software and/or open source, it’s a win-win, right?
If an AI can emulate Renaissance Technologies’ Medallion Fund and do so on a large scale in the future, that would be a great step forward, but only a few would be able to do so.
