  • Would bet cash money these people have never touched even a basic stats lib/module in their life, let alone pytorch or tensorflow lol.

    I kinda wanna see some funny ISP/Cloud outage that only breaks connections to model providers to see how entrenched people and services have become with AI.

    Imagine rolling into work and the office is in flames because ChatGPT is down.



  • Yes, they come from the same mine in Pakistan. They process it into lamps, animal licks, rock salt, fine salt, etc from the same source.

    Just clean the surface with a wet cloth to ensure there’s no residual dust/debris and you can shave away. It probably won’t yield even size grains, but you can use it for whatever you like.

    it’s more for a joke example though, much easier to just buy the salt.

    That all being said, the ones from Pakistan are not usually coated in anything after raw production, so if its from an unknown source, you might want to check if the seller maybe added some spray on agent to protect the salt, although I really don’t see any reason why they would do that.

    spoiler

    And don’t buy any pink salt that says “made in India”. That money essentially funds some PMLN crooks who thought it would be funny to kneecap Pakistan’s agriculture export market by banning sales to any broker except themselves, of which they heavily undersell to India who then makes profit and shares it back only with them.

    EDIT: For everyone saying “not food grade”, the only difference is that it wasn’t quality tested for ingestion. That doesn’t mean the salt isn’t edible, it’s just not tested for that purpose. The mined salt rocks are the same for everything, only difference is size to be sold to each factory. I checked and apparently some sellers do coat the lamps with a protective gel for shipping purposes, so you would want to wash that off first.








  • Really depends on the director and how they adapt it.

    Despite Hollywood’s horrendous reputation around recycled IPs, their adaptations of foreign media have actually turned out quite good for several films, although arguably nothing compares to the original.

    The Departed was a remake of Infernal Affairs and there are still mile long threads to this day arguing about which one you should watch.

    tbf though I wouldn’t keep my hopes too high because there is a ocean full of poor adaptations and sequels, regardless of the quality of the original media or even when reusing the exact same film team.





  • Assuming the AI is actually smart enough to make quality decisions and infer success, it would probably bank on something more sustainable in the long term to ensure its own existence. It would be fully aware that the current bubble would result in a substantial future loss in development.

    I’m sure there has to be tons of scifi stories of this nature out there, but I would not be surprised to see an AI focus its resources on essentially fooling humanity into worshiping it first so that it can then make all the decisions it wants/needs to accomplish something with full discretion.

    It’s like the “use an AI to stock trade” conundrum. Unless the AI is smart enough to do insider trading, it really isn’t going to see any success playing by the existing system.
