California just opened the floodgates for self-driving cars
  • While it is exciting, I can see both sides of the argument here. The infrastructure here in the US is built around cars so it would be much less effort to automate the existing infrastructure. On the other hand, things could be so much more efficient if we focused on trains and other public transport that excels at transporting a large amount of people. But that would take so much more effort and money to update the infrastructure.

  • A jargon-free explanation of how AI large language models work
  • So fully explaining how these systems work will be a huge project that humanity is unlikely to complete any time soon.

    Great read. This quote really stuck out to me and gave me chills. Reading about AI is so fascinating. Feels like we're on the cusp of something big.

  • Is it just me, or are conspiracy theories trending right now?
  • I'd argue conspiracies have always been trending for more than a few years now, it's just they've reached mainstream now.

  • Advice for now settled new Lemmy users.
  • This goes for anyone in the fediverse, not just lemmy users. I am on kbin which may not have as much options as lemmy to migrate to, but I will also be looking out for instances that match my interests more.

  • One trick to boost your chances of getting into an elite college? Be rich.
  • Honestly as well meaning affirmative action is meant to be, it's arguably targeting the wrong thing, which rather than admitting based on race, it should be based on class. True diversity comes from people from different lifestyles, regardless of race, instead of all from the elite.

  • leaving google
  • Good advice! I would argue the only downside is having to maintain your own email server. But that comes with the territory I guess. Any low-cost server hosting to consider?
