There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

Moved to Icytrees@sh.itjust.works

  • More profit does not equal more research and development, since there's an awful lot of development happening despite the lack of profit.

    I won't speculate on the failure of the technology because I don't know what was supposed to be achieved on what timeline.

    But I'll agree the industry is ripe with shit marketing and overselling/misrepresentating its current capabilities, because of capitalism.

  • Is this whole generalizing and insulting people who disagree with you thing part of another right wing satire?

  • I wasn't around when it came out, no. Oldish.

    There are so many. The best is when the alien rips out of guys' chest and he's like "Oh no! Not again!"

  • I don't know what point you're arguing. I didn't call it AI and even if I did, I don't know any definition of AI that includes infallibility. I didn't claim it's better than a search engine, either. Even if I did, "Better" does not equal "Always correct."

  • Someone said they didn't enjoy modern satire. You suggested not enjoying modern satire was equivalent to ignoring the issues entirely.

    Weird take, considered they didn't say it was bad or wrong, just not their cup of tea.

  • This smacks of "If you're not with me, you're against me."

  • Fair point about the difference between good satire and bad. There's always been bad comedy that just points and laughs.

    Satire isn't dead, the problem is finding the new extremes. Looking at what's going on and teasing out the ridiculous, improbable hypotheticals without being defeatist. Good satire finds the hope, too, what happens after we get over the wall, and how do we get there.

    It's mentally exhausting to keep seeing the hyperbole and not getting the hope.

    Mostly, I'm thinking about Spaceballs.

  • Miniskirts officially become mens wear to avoid a cross dressing scandal.

    The Make America Breezy Again campaign is an overnight success.

    Red Hats protest H&M for offending anti-trans sensibilities.

    It's easier to guestimate the ambient temperature in red states.

    Miniskirts now have pockets.

  • It's mainly this:

  • I'd like to hear more about this because I'm fairly tech savvy and interested in legal nonsense (not American) and haven't heard of it. Obviously, I'll look it up but if you have a particularly good source I'd be grateful.

    I have lawyer friends. I've seen snippets of their work lives. It continues to baffle me how much relies on people who don't have the waking hours or physical capabilities to consume and collate that much information somehow understanding it well enough to present a true, comprehensive argument on a deadline.

  • I think they’re saying that the kind of people who take LLM generated content as fact are the kind of people who don’t know how to look up information in the first place. Blaming the LLM for it is like blaming a search engine for showing bad results.

    Of course LLMs make stuff up, they are machines that make stuff up.

    Sort of an aside, but doctors, lawyers, judges and researchers make shit up all the time. A professional designation doesn't make someone infallible or even smart. People should question everything they read, regardless of the source.

  • Why does profit matter? I don't personally give a shit about the longevity, margins or market share of any company invested in the technology, but I am generally in favor of research and development of any technology. In most research it's hard to predict the future applications.

    That's not to say development is always smart, or safe, or ethical, just that it has to happen in order to see where this goes. Even if there's an end point it's helpful to know where it is.

    Unfortunately, capitalism requires a sacrifice to the economy in order to pursue anything. That's what sucks about this. If we weren't hard wired to justify existence in capital there wouldn't be so much occlusive hype around it.

  • This is a good take for a lot of reasons.

    In part because NFTs are still used and have some interesting applications, but 90% of the marketing and use cases were companies trying to profit from the hype train.

  • Whenever someone bitches about em dashes I assume they haven't read books.

  • This is a great representation of why not to argue with someone who debates like this.

    Arguments like these are like Hydras. Start tackling any one statement that may be taken out of context, or have more nuance, or is a complete misrepresentation, and two more pop up.

    It sucks because true, good points get lost in the tangle.

  • I can see this being real, knowing a few people who anthropomorphize bots. One uses sexbots for fun in a fantasy/roleplay way, gets pretty attached but understands they're not sentient. A few who believe ChatGPT are real friends or therapists, and one who thinks ChatGPT has a soul because it said so, and claims it might be a god.

    "AI" is a pretty contentious issue and they're self aware enough not to go around talking about it, but they all work, have friends and do normal shit.
