no, but i think anybody that spends their time seething about what pcmasterrace is up to very clearly is

yeah graphics driver support on windows is notoriously far worse than on the tertiary afterthought that is linux

arguably RAM matters the most

gpu and cpu you can just downgrade the quality, but at a certain point everything has to fit into memory

e.g., baldur's gate 3 literally couldn't be properly ported to the S because of a RAM limitation

just knowing that a website like The Onion exists musts be a perpetual nightmare for you

There’s academic researchers at universities working on developing these kinds of models as we speak.

Where does the funding for these models come from? Why are they willing to fund those models? And in comparison, why does so little funding go towards research into how to make neural networks more privacy-compatible?

I’m not wasting time responding to straw men.

  1. Please learn what a straw man argument is
  2. The technology you're describing doesn't exist, and likely won't for a very long time, so all you're doing is allowing data harvesting en-masse in return for nothing. Your hypothetical would have more teeth if it was anywhere close to being anything but a hypothetical.

some style guides are really dumb and consider "a b-c d" to be "(a b)-(c d)", as if a hyphen is less tightly binding than a space

You seem to have an assumption that all AI models are intended for the sole benefit of corporations.

You seem to have the assumption that they're not. And that "helping society" is anything more than a happy accident that results from "making big profits".

What about medical models

A pretty big "what if" when every single model that's been tried for the purpose you suggest so far has either predicted based off the age of a medical imaging scan, or off the doctor's signature in the corner of one.

Are you asking me whether it's a good idea to give up the concept of "Privacy" in return for an image classifier that detects how much film grain there is in a given image?

sounds like big tech shouldn't have spent the last decade investing in a kitchen refit so that they could make stew really well but nothing else

ok i guess you don't get to use private data in your models too bad so sad

why does the capitalistic urge to become "the world leader" in whatever technology-of-the-month is popular right now supersede a basic human right to privacy?

it's crazy that "it's too hard :(" has become an acceptable justification for just ignoring the law within tech circles

media stereotyping older people as somehow being affected more, implying they can’t/won’t switch, are somehow not savvy enough with technology to cope and to be less capable

because that's all significantly more likely to be the case if you're over a certain age

obviously exceptions exist, but it's a stereotype that exists for a reason. if you haven't spent your life using computers on a daily basis then obviously you're not going to be as adept with them
