91·6 months agoI think what’s interesting is it sounds like the battery is a set of storage containers. My guess is it supports battery swapping, so while the range might be small, it can refuel as part of exchanging cargo

Technology@lemmy.ml•DeepSeek to launch new AI model focused on coding in February, The Information reports
11·10 months agoThat’s an incredibly reactionary take on technology. Look at how open source is qualitatively different from their proprietary counterparts for a clear example of how the base doesn’t just dictate how a tool is used, but how tools are made and how the constraints built into the tool effect how they are used.

11·10 months agoI’ve read enough Marx to know the base dictates the shape of the superstructure which includes technology like LLMs.

11·10 months agoAs if this technology isn’t a product and in service of capitalist relations. Go read Chomsky to see how CNC machines were designed in a way to strengthen capitalist control. gAI is being developed with the same business logic: eliminate jobs at the cost of quality and robustness.

I seriously doubt people are reading this far and confirmed by none of our comments have gotten an up vote this far down. And again, if what you are saying is obvious to all then there’s no need to comment further if you are appealing to an audience. I think this has more to do with being in control (as evidence by trying to always enforce the boundaries of the conversation even when you yourself violate those same boundaries).
If it is as transparent as you say then you wouldn’t have the need to comment any further. So why did you?
Interesting, I didn’t accuse you of being emotional just that you have emotional needs. Everyone has emotional needs. Nonviolent Communication is a great tool for disentangling judgements from needs; for example, calling me dishonest speaks to a need for integrity.

This sort of stuff does little to create safety but does a lot to hype AI. Here’s an idea: ban unsafe software for cases where safety is a requirement OR hold these companies accountable for illegal outcomes (no more “oops, our software hacked a competitor” without getting hit with a lawsuit). Newsome would never do something so sensible as it would hurt his donors’ bottom line.
