  • ‘A feedback loop with no brake’: how an AI doomsday report shook US markets

    Jump

  • The scenario begins with AI agents undergoing a “jump in capability”.

    Might as well stop reading there. Another fluff piece about how useful and capable AI supposedly is, disguised as a doomsday scenario. I'm so sick of reading this bullshit. "Agentic AI" based on LLMs does not work reliably yet and very likely never will.

    If you complain about bugs in traditional (deterministic) software, you ain't seen nothing yet. A probabilistic system such as an LLM might or might not book the correct flight for you. It might give you the information you have asked for or it might delete your inbox instead.

    As a consequence of a system being probabilistic, anything you do with it works or fails based on probabilities. This really is the dumbest timeline.

  • 'I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb': OpenClaw AI chose to 'speedrun' deleting Meta AI safety director's inbox due to a 'rookie error'

    Jump

  • Can someone explain to mr why these people are buying Mac Minis to run this in a "safe" environment and then they go on and connect it to the internet and give the AI credentials to all their cloud accounts? This seems excessively moronic to me? Am I missing something?

  • Why do you hate AI?

    Jump

  • Might be an unpopular opinion. I don't hate AI as the technologies like LLMs and ML, the possibilities are limited but when used consciously with the drawbacks and faults in mind it can be useful. If you want to hate anything, hate the players, not the game...

    • People who sell LLMs to customers under false pretenses
    • People who force the use of LLMs for tasks they are objectively bad at
    • People who build massive datacenters, ruining the environment for their dubious claims.
    • People who feed the LLMs with a massive amount of stolen training data
    • People who release those LLMs to customers who are not educated to deal with them (causing AI psychosis and general brainrot)
    • People who sell that stuff as if it was magic instead of what it really is. A sophisticated autocomplete.
    • People who sell that stuff as if it was close to being a superintelligence and therefore dangerous. Which is bullshit. The dangers lie in LLM chatbots being confidently wrong, persuading unsuspecting users to believe the hype
    • People... i think there is a pattern here.

  • Microsoft's AI Efforts Are Faceplanting

    Jump

  • Yeah it's really missing the point on every single topic. Customers are confused that Microslop renames everything to Copilot, like MS Office 365 being rebranded to Copilot 365. It's not only the confusion between different types of LLMs. Customers are frustrated that MS puts Copilot buttons into every nook and cranny of existing products making these hard to use.

    The author even manages to botch the last point: internal adoption of LLMs at MS. The amount of bugs and quality issues in recent Windows 11 updates suggest that forced LLM use at the company itself has a detrimental effect on their products.

    Edit: Forgot a couple of reasons that aren't mentioned either: Customers are frustrated that Copilot doesn't live up to its lofty promises. Customers are frustrated that careless implementations of AI features like Recall are threatening their privacy and safety.

  • AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it

    Jump

  • It's so weird to read that. Every professional developer knows that debugging is hard and debugging someone else's code is harder. The crap that falls out of LLMs can be even worse, and yet you allow yourself to be reduced to a human full-time debugger/QA person.

    This isn't just fatigue, this is taking a wrong approach to software development from the ground up.

  • Why are there many complains about AI power usage but almost none about the resources being wasted by the war/arms industry?

    Jump

  • Ok let me try a different angle. I think the reason why AI is such a hotly debated topic right now is that AI is something that influences the lives of white westerners directly, while war is an abstract concept for most. To put it more bluntly, you're in contact with AI stuff every day, but there are no tanks rolling down your street (yet - but that might change soon).

  • Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.

    Jump

  • Yeah the Antrophic guys are also firmly in the "believer" group.

  • Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support.

    Jump

  • I think that Satya Nadella and a lot of other CEO types genuinely believe in AI, as misguided as it seems. This is more about who they choose to listen too than having an actual understanding of the technology and its limits. And probably some FOMO sprinkled on top.

    Sam Altman knows what's up though and so does Jensen Huang. In this gold rush one is peddling the fake gold and the other is selling the shovels.

    Jump

  • Do you have a source for that backtracking about AI? I think they did not mention that explicitly. Instead they were talking about unrelated improvements. The CEO is still in denial about AI bloat. He seems unable to comprehend that people don't like to be force fed AI everywhere across the OS.

    Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts?

    Jump

  • I've seen a lot of supermarkets recently where the mechanism is still there but all the carts are unlocked, so that you don't need to insert a coin anymore. At least where I live this works just as well and people return their carts into the stack. We were probably conditioned to do it during the last years when the coin was still necessary, and now it just sticks.

    This guy literally generated code snippets IMAGE with AI

  • Its also hallucinating the parentheses in a way that looks vaguely like code, but it's complete garbage

  • Trump’s erratic trade policy blamed for US gas auction flop in Eastern Europe

    Jump

  • It's more of a risk assessment than anything else. The US has proven to be erratic in honouring treaties and contracts, which makes them unreliable. Gas supply is a critical infrastructure and failures in delivery have grave consequences.

  • They also taste better. Unfortunately the regular ones are almost always sold out and I don't want the vegan type

  • OpenAI is considering using biometric verification like World's eyeball scanning Orb for its planned social network to ensure its users are real people

    Jump

  • because they can sell it for more money and as a bonus controlling people's data gives them power. Supervillains love technology.

  • Europe must break from America

    Jump

  • This article is full of BS. I mean he at least arrives at an agreeable conclusion (see headline) and this is why this post will get upvoted a lot. But his narrative is full of strawman arguments, trying to find plausible "conservative" reasons for why the US is acting the way it does when the actual answer is much simpler.

    The author argues at length that "Europhobia" is causing the rift between the US and EU. That's BS. If there is any phobia from the US perspective it's an Anybody-Who-Is-Not-Us-Phobia. US foreign policies stem from a sense of absolute superiority. They are not targeting the EU for being the EU. They are indiscriminately and aggressively trying to bully every other country into submission.

    The whole article is an exercise in finding justifications for not calling it what it is. This is a typical Think Tank style spin.

    And this gem right here:

    If Brexit was the first blow against the EU from a new Europhobic movement in America [...]

    Talking about sense of superiority... The author actually thinks that the US was the prime force responsible for the Brexit? They definitively played their part in the Brexit but this is a bit much.

    I could go on, but it's not worth it. I just wanted to make you aware of how shitty this article is.

  • Germany issues formal travel advisory for US

    Jump

  • A third has ^^ To be fair those voters were never really using their brain much. Populists in the whole EU are taking advantage of those dumb fucks for a while now.

    EDIT: There is something funny going on though, populist right-wing leaders have difficulties in finding a position regarding Trump and the US. On one hand they really love licking Trumps boots, on the other hand their voters want "Germany first" and they are aware that Trump's actions are directly hurting them.
