Maybe a TV across the room, but for monitors, or content that is close enough, it sure does make a difference! I’ve even started to find 1080p a bit “blurry” feeling, like 720p before it when 1080p came out. Especially when it’s YouTube’s shitty bitrate vs a game rendering in 4k. Night and day.
rofl you offer no evidence, only insults. Yore a pathetic joke and you’re trying to make it my problem. Move along, loser.
My comment wasn’t about how open or closed VPNs are, you fucking moron. It was about how they’re not a silver bullet for protecting privacy.
That’s literally not how VPNs work nor are you aware of what you’re talking about.
Using a VPN does absolutely nothing to protect from their apps scraping up and phoning home telemetry.
It’s still YOUR phone. It’s still YOUR GPS location. It’s still YOUR data connection. A VPN is not a catch-all solution to privacy.
Good luck with that on anything that has a locked boot loader or stock OS.
They won’t all be interchangeable. They can have totally different max power delivery, and a device is free to require more (up to 240W by spec). The nice thing about USB-PD is it’s negotiated and a device won’t (shouldn’t) try to pull too much power for a given plug. So as long as everyone sticks to specs, they’ll be interchangeable so long as the supply can supply enough. If it cannot, at least a device should keep itself off as if a chord isn’t plugged in, or preferably have some sort of “supply too low” sign.
Eh, IF the government had an endpoint to verify ID information, it wouldn’t be too bad implementation wise. … buuuut the modern government doesn’t provide anything any more and every damn dev team on the planet shouldn’t have forced access to peoples’ freaking IDs…
Only people suffering from Dunning Kruger effect think “AI” is competent.
Interesting how much power morons have.
But no AI models are ethical because they’ve all been trained on material that they did not have the rights to… Ok ok, I’m sure some niche models have been, but literally none of the major corpo products that are most likely to be used were.
That’s why it’s even more important to realize the machine has no intent. Its actions are solely the result of its creator’s actions in creating it.
I point out anthropomorphization so much because not only will it innoculate people against the advertising for it that WILL anthroporphize it, but when it fucks up, the appropriate people will be punished.
This isn’t a thinking machine going postal. It’s a dangerous product being pushed out with little regard for consequences.
Selling dangerous products used to mean something before billionaires bought the government…
It DOES matter. Directly. Fully.
If people think that the unthinking “AI” actually has autonomy, they will be less likely to hold the people responsible to account.
Why do you not understand that? It is a critical fact of the matter that modern day “AI” does not think nor want, because then responsibility of its actions should then rightfully fall on to who set up the Rube Goldberg machine with machetes on it.
This is not a machine going postal. It’s a dangerous product they’ve been allowed to sell.
We’re trying to impress on you the importance of culpability. If it thinks for itself, then it becomes a defective product. If it doesn’t, it’s a dangerous product.
It’s the difference between someone selling a car that happens to break down easily, and one where the brake lines randomly fall off because they fucked up the design and didn’t want to spend the money to do it right… It’s the difference between accidents and neglegence. This “AI” shit? Pure greed-fed neglegence.
The wording in the article is on purpose. They want you to think it doesn’t matter while they’re anthropomorphizing it, FFS. They want you to blame the bot, not the guy who made the obviously dangerous bot and then sold it to the world for billions.
Nowhere at all anywhere did I ever say AI is totally not a problem.
Maybe you should be less worried about reading between the lines and more worried about assuming what people didn’t say?
The bot didn’t want anything. It didn’t try to murder anyone. At all. What happened was, rich fucks with unchecked power are allowed to release dangerous, unethical products based on nothing but hype and vapid promises.
The only thing technology related is the involvment of AI, and it’s all BS and stupid. The AI DOES NOT WANT. The AI is not the one in control.
Without intent from the machine, this is EXACTLY THE SAME situation as every other time greedy capitalists pushed unsafe products.
Is the 9000000th time capitalists directly harmed society and those in it the time when humanity FINALLY learns to not let horrible shitheads run free over the world based on lies of promises!? Stay tuned to find out!!
Murder requires intent. This is just more anthropomorphization of LLMs…
It really depends. I managed to play Cyberpunk 2077 at 4k on my old 1080ti with 30-50fps, and thanks to having a nice monitor and knowing how to tune graphics settings, my roomie that had a 2080 gtx was complaining that mine looked better. lol
Anything that’s not crazy levels of fidelity can be tuned to work totally fine at 4k on modern graphics cards. Every generation (that has more than 8gb of gRAM, anyways…) since the 1080 has been more than capable of 4k gaming with some settings tweaks.
