Ahaha! Microsoft employees are using AI to write hallucinate their own performance reviews and managers are using that very same AI to “review” said performance reviews. Which is exactly the dystopian vision of the future that OpenAI sells!

What’s funny is that the “cult of Microsoft” is 100% bullshit so the AI is being trained in bullshit and as time goes on its being reinforced with it’s own hallucinated bullshit because everyone is using it to bullshit the bullshitters in management who are demanding this bullshit!

Gelsinger said the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future.

No wonder Intel is in such rough shape! Gelsinger is an idiot.

Does he think that the demand for AI-accelerating hardware is just going to go away? That the requirement of fast, dedicated memory attached to a parallel processing/matrix multiplying unit (aka a discreet GPU) is just going to disappear in the next five years‽

The board needs to fire his ass ASAP and replace him with someone who has a grip on reality. Or at least someone who has a some imagination of how the future could be.

Surely they can’t all be this dumb.

After a few decades following American politics you’ll realize that yes, yes they can all be that dumb.

Just have a general conversation with your most conservative neighbors about basically anything and you’ll quickly learn that there’s nothing they don’t have an opinion on and their level of ignorance is… Impressive.

Like, dude, you’re 60+ years old and you think hurricanes are a conspiracy‽ The point where they lost their mind was long ago.

Sooner or later you can’t help but wonder if they ever had sanity or they just faked it long enough to have a career/survive until retirement.

Yeah that’s the part I don’t get: The law is literally telling doctors to kill their patients and the doctors are just going along with it? WTF!

It takes effort but you have to milk it for all its worth!

Not true! The female nipple is actually useful.

Meh. This is but a fraction of what the big media companies think the world owes them for piracy.

As another (local) AI enthusiast I think the point where AI goes from “great” to “just hype” is when it’s expected to generate the correct response, image, etc on the first try.

For example, telling an AI to generate a dozen images from a prompt then picking a good one or re-working the prompt a few times to get what you want. That works fantastically well 90% of the time (assuming you’re generating something it has been trained on).

Expecting AI to respond with the correct answer when given a query > 50% of the time or expecting it not to get it dangerously wrong? Hype. 100% hype.

It’ll be a number of years before AI is trustworthy enough not to hallucinate bullshit or generate the exact image you want on the first try.

Be kind: Do not rewind 🤣

No. That’s if he’s Arab. Chinese get interned.

Or if China doesn’t like them either, “returned to the homeland” where they’ll be disappeared forever in one of their, “put them here until trial” black holes where people go in but they don’t come out (without the right bribes/political influence).

Yeah! Deliver Big Ben and maybe a few other famous UK monuments to Washington, DC and we’ll call it even 👍

Well yes: At this juncture in history conservative speech is hate speech, misinformation (and disinformation), and things like AI-generated images of politicians in situations that never happened.

Actual conservative speech like bitching about the national debt or setting themselves up to get flamed with references to A Modest Proposal aren’t getting censored at all.

Some people just don’t like swearing.

To those people I say, “What the fuck‽”

Depends on the family. In my family we give two shits.

Stealing political yard signs? No.

Marking up political yard signs? Yes.

On my way to vote today I saw a trump sign that had “FELON” and “RAPIST” graffitied on it. That’s a much clearer message than if there were no sign there.

It was quite respectful, actually… It still very clearly said, “Trump/Vance” it was just given some flair and it wasn’t even untrue 👍

It’s probably just full of unplayed Steam games.

The death penalty should be reserved for people who absolutely will continue to commit great crimes (e.g. murder) even after they’re imprisoned. Example: A crime boss that issues orders to have people murdered via visits from their lawyer.

Someone like that–even from within prison–has too much of a negative impact on society to be allowed to live. You can’t take away their basic rights (like the right to a lawyer) so the most humane thing to do would be to end them as peacefully as possible. Otherwise you’re going to allow them to continue committing crimes, racking up victims, and degrading society as a whole.

A convicted pedophile rapist will be incapable of committing that same sort of crime as long as they are imprisoned. Hence it’s not necessary to execute them.

Red Pepper + Onion + Minced Garlic has been my favorite veggie pizza for decades now. The sweeter the onion the better.

Green Pepper + Onion is a great fallback if red pepper isn’t available but you’ll want to go with garlic cloves instead of minced.

Well, they put my Low-Poly Rose Twist Vase in the background so it seems legit 🤷

Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you’ll have your answer 👍
