Trying to brand Putin’s national conservative kleptocratic regime as somehow anti-empirialistic is just bizarre … I want to see an end to the capitalist hegemony as much as the next man, but comrade: Putin isn’t it.

As someone who was forced to start using Windows again after ten years after ten years of exclusively running Linux: Why is it like this? Everything is so crappy and slow!
252·8 days agoWhat AI revolution? All I get is fancy spellcheck and crappy image generation.
It’s hyperbole.

I think that’s a very generous use of the word “superintelligent”. They aren’t anything like what I associate with that word anyhow.
I also don’t really think they are knowledge retrieval engines. I use them extensively in my daily work, for example to write emails and generate ideas. But when it comes to facts they are flaky at best. It’s more of a free association game than knowledge retrieval IMO.
That’s true in a somewhat abstract way, but I just don’t see any evidence of the claim that it is just around the corner. I don’t see what currently existing technology can facilitate it. Faster-than-light travel could also theoretically be just around the corner, but it would surprise me if it was, because we just don’t have the technology.
On the other hand, the people who push the claim that AGI is just around the corner usually have huge vested interests.
So Palantir sells a data management tool and deployment support. That shouldn’t really surprise anyone who knows the first thing about data science.
The interesting thing about Palantir isn’t what they sell but how they sell it and who buys it. They clearly market their unremarkable software as an autocrat’s wet dream.
And police and military departments across Europe and the US buy their shit, which says more about those police and military departments than about the software.
