To anyone who interacts with it? Would you deny that a program automate mental labor in the same way that a sawmill automates manual labor? Isn’t that some degree of intelligence?

Now, we have very imperfect LLMs who nevertheless can be instructed not with program code, but actual natural language, and they react accordingly. Isn’t that also intelligence? Computers that understood natural language was the realm of science fiction just five years ago.

I get it that people hate LLMs, both because how idiots use them, and how corporations push them everywhere; but not recognizing the intelligence in those programs is naive at best.

It is evident that it has intelligence, it outputs intelligent responses usually adequate to its input, even if it’s badly phrased. What it doesn’t have is sentience, conscience, and a learning loop.

Crazy how USA seems unable to keep up, and it appears its best chance of maintaining hegemony is bringing China down, not improving itself. Never expected to see this shift in my lifetime.

They do, and I experimented with both, but wasn’t able to get better performance from Jellyfin compared to Plex. Always running on the same hardware. Still run both though, just in case.

Especially on non-GPU systems, Jellyfin is slower at transcoding than Plex. I don’t know the internals, but I have both running in the sam machine, and Plex is always noticeably more responsive. Not by a huge margin, but still it is.

XBMBC (later Kodi) gang present!

That’s precisely what I’m arguing. You only see this kind of bullet grazing that doesn’t take flesh in the movies. In reality, flesh is like jello to a bullet, it literally splashes. If you’re telling me it was just a tiny, clean, insignificant wound, why did it bleed that much in seconds?

Really, in what universe does a shockwave leave a clean wound? It’s literally an explosion, it would be even more messy.

You mean a missing chunk of flesh, as small as it could have been, can be grown back in a couple of weeks? Are you Wolverine?

Bullets don’t make clean wounds.

But leaving that aside, the whole incident, the “historic”, heroic photo with the American flag in the back, and Trump pumping his fist as if he was leading some kind of struggle, it smells of staging. Even exposing himself to more shots is very atypical of a self-centered person like himself.

Yeah, a commemorative coin of that incident where he received a bullet wound to the ear, which was miraculously fully healed just a couple of weeks after.
