There’s something infuriating about this. Making basic errors that show you don’t have the faintest grasp on what people are arguing about, and then acting like the people who take the time to get Ph.Ds and don’t end up agreeing with your half-baked arguments are just too stupid to be worth listening to is outrageous.
Hey, that's what we've been saying for years!
For real though, we must have reached Peak Ad at some point, or at least we're deep into the realm of diminishing returns. This can't go on forever, right? I mean there's a finite number of things that need to be advertised and a finite number of people with a finite amount of time and patience to look at ads. How long until it all collapses?
I like how the assumption seems to be that the thing users object to about "websites track your browsing history around the web in order to show you targeted ads" is... the "websites" part
Raise your hands if you’d rather go back to a world without Airbnb.
I mean the sneers just write themselves
Exman tells PopSci that, even with ChatGPT’s deficiencies, administrators believe the tool remains the simplest way to legally comply with new legislation.
I mean it's certainly simpler to do things incorrectly. Can't argue with this logic
there actually is a comment making this point now:
Isn't this product kind of impossible? Like a compression program that compresses compressed files? If you have an algorithm for determining whether a generated image is good or bad couldn't the same logic be incorporated into the network so that it doesn't generate bad images?
the reply is a work of art:
We’re optimistic about using our own algorithms and models to evaluate another model. In theoretical computer science, it is easier to verify a correct solution than to generate a correct solution (P vs NP problem).
it's not even wrong, as they say
People just going on living their life like our literal gods aren’t already amongst us
It's true, I am, because they aren't
for real though, i keep saying important people specifically say "AI will help with climate change" and like... how, dude? by burning a ton of energy to think really hard about it with its magic brain powers? like, what is the actual concrete help here supposed to be, for real. is this just the new "crypto incentivizes switching to green energy"? :/
I don't even get his point. You can voluntarily use your freedom to constrain yourself already. What, is the Food Optimizer gonna knock down your door and force-feed you McDonald's? Has vegetarianism become illegal? Clearly what he's actually mad about is that the state won't let him involuntarily constrain others
be here or be sneer, i guess
i sort of depend on this community to not go insane working in tech, so i'm happy it's continuing
oh hey, i love awesomewm! i'm much less amenable to fiddling with annoying linux config than I used to be, but the lua-scriptability is just appealing enough that I don't mind messing with it a bit to do silly things
