Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 6 months agoIt’s bleak because of how hard this stuff is being pushed.
I got to laugh off the Metaverse because it flopped long before it could be forced down my throat. I looked askance at Crypto, but broadly avoided it without consequence. Now I’ve vendors injecting AI into their tech support service, and it isn’t something I can wave away anymore.
Crypto’s only use for me is making it universally easy to pay every tech/vpn company I deal with.
beyond that, people launder money, buy drugs and do darkweb shit with a minority of privacy folks harping privacytokens like Monero.
I’d love if Steam took BTC. The grocery store? Ehhhhhhhhh.
The grocery store? Ehhhhhhhhh. Nah.
If my banks services were seamlessly replaced by a cheaper, faster crypto service then I would not complain.
Crypto is much faster than an international wire and cheaper for sending less than $5000
The shift will happen when the user can’t tell the difference.
I’ve seen several “creators” pointing to AI overviews as “evidence” of things without ever fact-checking them (because if you were interested in facts you wouldn’t bother with them anyway). I have family and friends send me AI-generated bullshit day in and day out.
It’s especially infuriating when they send me “but ChatGPT says…” about something I’m literally an expert in. Like I do this all day every day and you’re taking the word of a chatbot over me.
I hate when people do that. The robot is wrong! All the freaking time.
Oh man, when people at work do it… ‘i asked claude and it said…’. never once has this been right, or even a fruitful avenue of enquiry.
Same, yeah. My company even turned on Cursor BugBot to review our PRs and it calls out nonsense non-problems all the time due to lacking context

The difference is that crypto is better than ever. I tried to send an overseas wire (to a friend from real life) and my bank just told me security blocked it and I can’t push it through
No problem sending USDC, after some minutes it confirmed and he was able to withdraw
