Ethereum’s got a market cap of $350 billion and it’s where all the new development is going on, according to the Electric Capital Developer it has by far the most developers working on and with it. Approximately 65% of all new code written in the entire crypto industry is written for Ethereum or its Layer 2 scaling solutions (like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base).

It’s spelled “Dogecoin,” by the way.

I said no major cryptocurrency. Monero’s got a market cap of $8 billion, it’s small fry.

I mean, it’s pretty obvious. They release good open-weight models. Western companies did that a little at first, but they’ve basically stopped doing that any more. It’s really easy to win a competition when one of the competitors isn’t actually competing.

No major cryptocurrency has used GPUs for mining for many years. Bitcoin uses completely custom ASICs and Ethereum switched away from proof of work entirely.

Ah, good, that makes this less of a dilemma then.

On the one hand not fond of the CCP, and this is a step toward making Taiwan more “safely” invadeable.

On the other hand not fond of the United States throwing its weight around like it’s in charge of the world and not fond of monopolies in general.

So hard to settle on a reaction for this.

I do, however, enjoy it when various flavors of Nazi fight each other.

So, who’s going to prison for this? Party of law and order, right?

They’re doing what the “contract” always allowed.

I guess we’ll see what people here find to complain about now.

Vigilantism is a symptom of a failed justice system. I’d give good odds on this.

It is interesting, IMO, that with AI we see the opposite of the usual trend; the fancy new disruptive technology seems to be liked more by the older crowd, and less by the younger ones.

Right, you take the article at face value. So exactly as I originally said:

you sure are relying on just believing whatever you read without any checking whatsoever.

For every news article you read?

That’s the point here. AI can allow for tedious tasks to be automated. I could have a button in my browser that, when clicked, tells the AI to follow up on those sources to confirm that they say what the article says they say. It can highlight the ones that don’t. It can add notes mentioning if those sources happen to be inherently questionable - environmental projections from a fossil fuel think tank, for example. It can highlight claims that don’t have a source, and can do a web search to try to find them.

These are all things I can do myself by hand, sure. I do that sometimes when an article seems particularly important or questionable. It takes a lot of time and effort, though. I would much rather have an AI do the grunt work of going through all that and highlighting problem areas for me to potentially check up on myself. Even if it makes mistakes sometimes that’s still going to give me a far more thoroughly checked and vetted view of the news than the existing process.

Did you look at the link I gave you about how this sort of automated fact-checking has worked out on Wikipedia? Or was it too much hassle to follow the link manually, read through it, and verify whether it actually supported or detracted from my argument?

Okay, we’ve established how you don’t do it. So how do you go about the process of fact checking every news article you read?

30 % increase in preformance? or “we WOn’T nEEd progRAmMers iN 3 yEars”?

You think people aren’t going to want to use AI unless it does literally everything for them? That’s exactly the “if something’s not perfect then it must be awful” mindset I was criticizing in the comment you’re responding to.

I don’t see a link to that research, but that means 38% don’t believe AI is significantly overhyped.

If my job depends on saying you are correct… Mr. FaceDeer you are always correct, the most correct ever.

You are now arguing that the source that you yourself brought into this discussion is no good.

This is ridiculous.

Okay, so how do you go about the process of fact checking every news article you read?

Source for what?

And you sure are relying on just believing whatever you read without any checking whatsoever.

Here’s an example of how AI fact checking can find errors in even extremely well-curated data sources.

I just responded to a similar question by Ashtear@piefed.social above, listing a bunch of things I do with AI that having a framework embedded right into Firefox would make a lot more convenient, hopefully it provides some answers for this as well.
