I was thinking... What if we do manage to make the AI as intelligent as a human, but we can't make it better than that? Then, the human intelligence AI will not be able to make itself better, since it has human intelligence and humans can't make it better either.

Another thought would be, what if making AI better is exponentially harder each time. So it would be impossible to get better at some point, since there wouldn't be enough resources in a finite planet.

Or if it takes super-human intelligence to make human-intelligence AI. So the singularity would be impossible there, too.

I don't think we will see the singularity, at least in our lifetime.

I'm migrating millons of encrypted credit cards from one platform to another (it's all in the same company, but different teams, different infra, etc).

I'm the one responsible for decrypting each card, preparing the data in a CSV, and encrypting that CSV for transit. Other guy is responsible for decrypting it, and loading it into the importer tool. The guy's technical lead wanted me to generate the pair of keys and send him the private key, since that way I didn't have to wait for the guy and "besides, it's all in the same company, we're like a family here".

Of course I didn't generate the key pair and told them that I didn't want to ever have access to the private key, but wow. That made me lose a lot of respect for that tech lead.

Sennheiser headphones that I bought for about $20 about 10 years ago. The cable is indestructible. I once had to resolder it to the speakers because it my cat pulled it out, but the cable itself has endured all kinds of abuse without breaking. And the sound is fantastic.

When I first started learning how to code 9 months ago [...]

Yup. And with regional pricing, the discrepancy between a game's price and hardware price is even greater.

For example, BG3 is around 15 dollars in Argentina, but a 2TB SSD is around 130 dollars.

That sounds very extreme. I like humor, but not the trolling type. In my time we used to say "don't feed the trolls". When ignored they mostly go away. Nowadays there's always someone arguing with them. It's so stupid...

I posted about microplastics reducing sperm levels like 8 years ago on Reddit and my post got mocked like if I was a MRA and that if they did, it was a good thing because world overpopulation. So yeah, these people exist.

I think it would be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder.

In Argentina it's against the law too. I have never seen anyone, ever, stop at a stop sign. At most people slow down a little more than usual. Not even cops stop at stop signs. But if you don't stop in your driver test, they can theoretically deny your license. So this is definitely a regional thing.

Fwiw, I visited a lot of South American countries, and Argentina is one of the most respectful of traffic laws. But yeah, stop signs are merely a suggestion at best. People slow down way more in a "dangerous crossing" sign, than a stop sign.

It's Monsanto, not Montesanto.

What about knowledge-graph augmented LLM?

This is a good video about it: https://youtu.be/WqYBx2gB6vA

I want to try this project: https://github.com/jwzhanggy/Graph_Toolformer

I think it might be due to discoverability? I remember reading something about that. If no one in this instance is subscribed to an external community, the server doesn't load their posts, or something like that.

Edit: OH what a dummy, you just said that lol.
