Look, we've almost solved counting letters in several types of berries. Generating instant solutions to global warming will become possible right after that, it's only logical.

Why is it always transphobia with these kinds of people... is it because they feel racism is too risky? So they need a different outlet for hating on people based on what they believe is "science"?

Procreate, a digital painting software for iPads, has not just avoided AI, they even have an anti-GenAI statement on their website.

When an 8 year old thinks an AI is "far more knowledgeable than me about reasonable human behavior" that could lead a person to self-reflection. Could.

Urgh. Well, happy to learn that at least I'm not the only one who really dislikes that kind of design element.

I once randomly found Hossenfelder's YT channel, it had a video about climate change and someone linked it somewhere, I didn't know who she was. That video seemed fine, it correctly pointed out the urgency of the matter, and while I don't know enough climate science to say much about the veracity of all its content, nothing stuck out as particularly weird to me. So I looked at some other videos from the channel... and boooooy did I quickly discover some serious conspiracy-style nonsense stuff. Real "the cabal of physicists are suppressing the truth" vibes, including "I got this email which I will read to you but I can't tell you who it's from, but it's the ultimate proof" (both not quotes, just how I'd summarize the content...)

And the language's main data container is a kind of stack, but to push or pop values, you have to wrap them into "boats" which have to cross a "river", with extra rules for ordering and combination of values.

ahahahaha, thank you that's perfect

Nice sneer: In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen

Yes, doing the thing which the entire business world is pouring billions into and trying their hardest to shove onto everyone to maximize imagined future profits, that's what counterculture is all about.

I'm just confused because I remember using Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows 98 in the 90s and it worked pretty accurately already back then for dictation and sometimes it feels as if all of that never happened.

Similar case from 2 years ago with Whisper when transcribing German.

I'm confused by this. Didn't we have pretty decent speech-to-text already, before LLMs? It wasn't perfect but at least didn't hallucinate random things into the text? Why the heck was that replaced with this stuff??
