  • Yeah, it wonks the tokens up.

    I actually really like machine learning. It's been a fun field to follow and play around with for the past decade or so. It's the corpo-facist BS that's completely tainted it.

  • I’m curious how Kagi would hold up, but the AI BS is entirely opt-in there so maybe they didn’t include it because of that.

    Edit: lmao Perplexity is gross. Who would use this instead of an actual search engine?

  • I’m confused. These are large language models, not search engines?

  • Whenever you think they can't bury the bar any lower, they somehow manage to fucking find space under it.

  • Sounds like corporate right now. Had a meeting earlier and it wasn't even focused on AI, but I heard it enough times to make my ears bleed.

  • I think it largely depends on what kind of AI we're talking about. iOS has had models that let you extract subjects from images for a while now, and that's pretty nifty. Affinity Photo recently got the same feature. Noise cancellation can also be quite useful.

    As for LLMs? Fuck off, honestly. My company apparently pays for MS CoPilot, something I only discovered when the garbage popped up the other day. I wrote a few random sentences for it to fix, and the only thing it managed to consistently do was screw the entire text up. Maybe it doesn't handle Swedish? I don't know.

    One of the examples I sent to a friend is as follows, but in Swedish;

    Microsoft CoPilot is an incredibly poor product. It has a tendency to make up entirely new, nonsensical words, as well as completely mangle the grammar. I really don't understand why we pay for this. It's very disappointing.

    And CoPilot was like "yeah, let me fix this for you!"

    Microsoft CoPilot is a comedy show without a manuscript. It makes up new nonsense words as though were a word-juggler on circus, and the grammar becomes mang like a bulldzer over a lawn. Why do we pay for this? It is buy a ticket to a show where actosorgets their lines. Entredibly disappointing.

  • Que fantastico!

  • I love your dedication to posting these. They always brighten my days. 💖

  • Lmao, please tell me this is slang for tits.

  • I'm personally running on Librewolf, it strips out the Mozilla BS and gives you fairly strict default privacy settings. It's sad that the free and open web is skating on thin ice.

  • Nope. That’s still chromium based and further serves Google’s monopoly on the web platform.

  • Everything looks grotesque at that scale.

  • She’s so precious!

  • The same thing that’s stopping pedophiles today of course.

  • I was talking about Donald Duck. This made me laugh though. Thanks for brightening my day.

  • Donald is in indentured servitude after all. Gnarly man.

  • So as a cock and balls man, where do I go?

  • Same energy so I get the mix up, honestly.

  • I hope so!

  • No he does, but it’s another man’s hair. He needed gender affirming care because he didn’t feel good about his appearance, and that care happened to be some other man’s hair.
