My favorite one recently is constantly telling me to keep straight to remain on a highway like 7 times before I need to actually get off the highway. Glad I turned off the sound a long time ago otherwise I would have lost my fucking mind.

I was honestly getting so frustrated the other day at work when searching for something very specific and coming up empty handed. Tried DuckDuckGo and even fucking Bing and found what I needed in a matter of seconds. Google search is trash now. I have to go to the second page or further just to find something that isn't an ad, AI response, or reddit. None of which are helpful.

Yeah, I found it after I commented.

Like, how fucked up? I just read through the whole thing and it didn't mention it from what I saw.

Edit: Never I found it in the post. Super fucked up

I don't even buy from Amazon anymore. The fact that everything I want to buy has 4.5 stars or higher is already suspicious. I've seen reviews for stuff that aren't even related to the product along with garbled reviews that were obviously generated by AI. I'd rather just go to the store than trust anything on Amazon. And none of this even scratches the surface when you realize Amazon sells things that are straight up dangerous. From faulty fuses that could burn your house down to auto cleaning litter boxes that will kill your cat. All from drop shipping companies you can barely pronounce.

Edit: Oh yeah and don't forget Amazon bribes people with gift cards to make positive reviews and they delete negative reviews. You literally can't trust anything on the entire site anymore.

I mean it's gotten to the point where I can't even keep track of all the different AI being pushed by companies. My prediction is some company is going to make a super efficient and helpful AI and everyone will start using that as a base point. Like how every company wanted a website before they all just migrated the majority of their information to social media like Facebook and Twitter. And let's be honest, most of the big companies making AI are not going to be the ones to do it. And even though they are improving, they are more interested in making money than better AI. We haven't seen a major breakthrough in months and the majority of progress is minimal. Every time they come out with a new model it's usually just the same with more bells and whistles.

I don't know, if I was getting laid off I'd prefer to stay home so I don't have to drive.

Hey, I'm just glad we're winning.

Hey, she's just trying to live her best life like the rest of us. I wish her the best with her suit of armor.

This just seems like they are trying to take a shortcut that might end up having unforeseen consequences. I have no problem with AI upscaling as a technology. It's already proven its merit with almost all triple A games that have come out in the past few years. But this just seems like a way to push the cost off onto consumers by making them buy more expensive hardware at the cost of efficiency. Games are so poorly optimized these days that this just seems like another way to release games that run like ass. If you see this as a benefit in any way, just remember that we will all be paying the extra cost that they get to save.

And of course there's gonna be people that'll just be like "upgrade your PC, bro" which just makes us fight amongst ourselves instead of fighting the companies that are fucking us over. We'll fight each other for hours on end about how shitty someone's PC is before we even consider that the game they are playing is so poorly optimized it's a miracle it even works on a high end PC. It's already to the point that a $4,000 PC isn't even enough to play some common triple A titles at a good frame rate. I can play God of War at the highest setting with no issues whatsoever but can't even play Jedi Survivor at a stable frame rate. Sure a better PC would achieve better results, but that's not a hardware issue.

Microsoft 365 is fucking garbage. I tried using it one time on my work computer and couldn't even export an Excel sheet into any other format besides a PDF and an Excel file. The only two things I never need to export an Excel sheet as. I couldn't even export it as a god damn text file. And the fact that I need an Internet connection makes it so much more finicky. I guess on the plus side when the Internet is down I don't have to do my job until it comes back.

A friend of mine's mom lives on that street so I heard about this only a couple hours after it happened. It's a very friendly neighborhood and this type of behavior from teenagers isn't all that surprising. It's in the middle of the woods basically and it's not uncommon to see kids wandering around. The kinda neighborhood you see people pull up into other people's driveways to turn around. This wasn't even the man's house. It was his girlfriend's house and he so readily pulled his gun on some kid. Even if it was an accident you don't point a fucking gun at someone's face unless you mean it. That's basic gun shit.
