Echo Dot

I throw away the plastic M.2 screwdriver I got with my 250gb drive. Now they don’t come with them anymore and it’s so aggregating, who came up with this god awful attachment mechanism anyway?

It’ll turn out to be an Excel spreadsheet with no formatting rules.

I just like the idea that knowing where he lives in some way puts him in more danger than he already was before. Anyone who really wanted him dead would already has this information.

So basically him being docxed is just about telling everyone where he lives. He doesn’t want that because it’ll result in protesters turning up on his lawn but his life is not in any more danger.

We should probably just have his computer searched on basic principles, since these guys always turn out to be paedophiles. Always, like literally every single time.

Unavoidably high prices are unavoidable says company who’s actions are causing prices to be high

Yeah. Sure.

They need to add spaceships to the game so we can find out what’s going on the area 51

So don’t buy new graphics card then. Same end result you don’t have to deal with the AI slop.

Hopefully the AI bubble bursts sometime soon and we can get back to normal. All that needs to happen is governments need to stop subsidising AI companies. Eventually a combination of public pressure and the complete lack of any progress from the companies will cause that to happen.

Yeah and another way to say that is my job is complicated enough they cannot be automated via lua script with ambition.

Rather than being an ass wipe why don’t you tell us what you are immensely important and easily automatable job is. And then I guess you can go find a new career, or something.

This feels like motion smoothing on TVs. It’s super unclear why manufacturers put it on since the first thing any sain person does is turn it off. This feels like something similar, I suspect most gamers are just going to turn it off rather than leave it on and buy better hardware especially at the moment.

The fact that it lies is so irritating, if it at least admitted that it didn’t know the answer it would at least be a useful search engine. The fact that it makes stuff up though means I always have to scroll past the AI summary, that I didn’t ask for, in order to actually go to the website to check the results myself, because I can’t trust it.

Yeah because it was impossible to Google things in the past. Every time anybody comes up with a use for AI it’s basically just automating something that isn’t even that hard for you to do. If you want to automate simple tasks that’s absolutely fine but it’s not the second coming as people keep insisting.

Come back to me when an AI can actually add value to something, when it can do something that is not just automating a simple task, but it’s capable of doing things that humans are not. I keep being told that we’re only a few years away from the technological singularity, so wake me up when we actually get there.

It’s an expensive toy that might become a viable product in a decade that doesn’t mean it’s a valuable company today. Irresponsible spending like this is exactly what led to the dot com bubble.

So they are just slapping random price tags on things now. It’s a database of AI questions. They have paid 13 billion dollars for a database, and everyone’s acting like that’s a perfectly rational sensible thing to do. No one in the financial industry has any sense anymore.

A company that’s only product is something that people either don’t want or actively hate has paid an eye-watering amount of money for a database to train their product on, this training will have no effect whatsoever on whether people want it.

I have this nice bridge with lots of training examples if anybody’s interested, 100 trillion dollars please

Would copying it in a text file not work?

Because doing that doesn’t change the contents of the text so the “watermark” is still there.
