not even in the same ballpark but Google photos is also great at putting together collages of dogs you suddenly stopped taking new pictures of approximately 1 year ago.

JR: I don't know how I could have made it any plainer that I did not want what has happened to happen. I have given the government every single benefit of the doubt that it would not do precisely what it has done

Starting in a garage sounds great to my Midwestern sensibilities. What I didn't know is how rich you had to be to: * own a home in the area * WITH a garage * enough room to not need to put a car, bedrm, or stuff in there * money to fill that garage with thousands of dollars of computers in the 70s.

When counsel says "not that I'm aware" could the judge order them to call their client and ask, affirmatively, for an answer? That way they can definitely be held in contempt when they lie.

A tip for those who are hunting for Arcee in #Blokees #Transformers Galaxy Version 09 Darkest Hour: Find the box that weighs almost nothing. It should feel empty. Aside from a slight rattle, a "this guy from bsky is trying to trick me into buying an empty box..." feeling is what you're looking for.

I think not enough people think of this. There's more than one failure mode of the current AI push: 1. AI gets super intelligent, exterminates us (wank wank eyeroll) 2. AI sucks, but bosses use it anyhow. (what is actually happening right now) Everyone should watch this: youtu.be/EUrOxh_0leE

AI does not exist but it will ruin everything anyway

I really don't understand why they are trying to make them sentient, or how that would be a good idea at all. If these models become sentient, then that means whoever controls the model is engaged in slavery. We already had a war about whether slavery is good or bad. So um fellas, don't do that.

at this point I'd take a repainted cassettebot as lug, and a retool of Tails from the sonic/tails as anode, as long as the retool included storage of Lug's cargo-mode¹ in alt mode, and backpack-mode² in robot mode (on their back) ¹ The cassette, obv ² The cassette, maybe sideways

I don't think math is a great example that it's deeper than parroting. Math symbols have more strict patterns than general language, and most examples in training data are how to arrange them. it does not surprise me that models would end up able to produce mostly correct math equations.

fwiw, spam email is something you can deal with by simply 100% ignoring it forever. Whatever google does with it after I die, I don't care. Most other "problems" that AI can solve in my personal life are simply shit that never needs to be done.

When the stupid speaker stopped letting my kids add stuff to the list without setting up an account for them, we grumbled and kept going because it still worked for most of the family. as soon as it stops letting us add "fancy bread" and "normal bread" to the list we are back to pens and paper.

I transform new figures first without the instructions, no matter how complicated. At least I try. With Lucky Cat Cyber Goddess CG01 Venus (Arcee), I failed and had to check. There I discovered I needed to hide her butt cheeks under the dashboard. #transformers #transformerstoypics

I'd never bring an iced coffee to a job interview. The real go-getter move is to bring a tub of ice cream and jug of milk and make a shake for yourself right there. No sharing; they should have brought their own.

nobody wants to read a wall of filth vomited out by a robot or human. I might truly be onboard if, when I clicked the "Use AI to fix this" button it just neated things up and inserted bullet points. Maybe shorten a thing or two.
