Go look at more AI company logos. Many of them look like buttholes for some reason.

Hank Green has a video on his channel where he ranks AI company logos based on how much they look like buttholes.
Butt it’s not just AI companies - I ordered something from Walmart last year and I was looking at the box in my recycling, thinking the snowflake pattern was kinda cool… then I thought about that Hank Green vid and realized that the Walmart star kinda looks like a butthole too.

It’s like having masonic symbols featured to show loyalty, but it’s Epstein symbolism.
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 2 days ago
The reason is that‘s the place they‘re licking when visiting Washington or Florida.
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Oh, we know the reason. It makes sense.

So does their CEO.

First of many outages as they realize how much cash they are burning and can’t stay afloat.

Oh no! They’ll have to actually think!
Rhoeri@piefed.world 3 days ago
Good. Let’s hope it stays down.

OH NO!, Anyway…

This is news? Am I just jaded by Anthropic’s uptime?
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Anthropic was also down today.
And Google had internal issues they didn’t publicly report.
Lembot_0006@programming.dev 2 days ago
Yes, news. We regularly see “Twitter is down”, “CloudFlare is down!”, “YouTube was down for 93 seconds! Humanity is in danger!”. Why not chatGPT?
AstralPath@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
It’s definitely not me. I don’t use that shit for anything. I hope it stays down forever.
LifeLikeLady@lemmy.world 2 days ago
But how will Microslop spit out any code today? Oh well. Anyway.
fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Works fine here.
Rhoeri@piefed.world 3 days ago
It’d be great if it didn’t though.
fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Hey man I would totally agree with you, if it was 20-30 years ago and search engines actually gave relevant results instead of commercial SEO garbage. Which in my opinion is a hell of a lot worse than the worst AI slop…
floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Stop encouraging it.
fallaciousBasis@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I just prefer it to search engines these days. Chatgpt will give you good basic answers with direct links to citations.
Most search engines just produce endless commercial spam. I can instruct chatgpt to basically be Google scholar on steroids and get highly relevant academic results, which I then go read. “Based on highly regarded scientific literature like nature, please find me links regarding …” Works great! In you need, “no summaries, no conjecture. I don’t want your thoughts about this. I just want highly cited links/literature. Please act like a good search engine chat GPT.” And it generally does pretty great, minimizing me having to wade through shit-tons of SEO garbage.
I’m not having much discussion with it, except for fun/novelty.

And just like that world productivity slipped backwards about 500 years…or…wow, no one noticed.

“it’s not just you”? It’s not even me. I wonder how many complaints there were - would be a good metric of actual usage
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Kind of. As long as you understand that people like me exist.
I ordered a big mac from McDonalds one time. I got a chicken sandwich instead.
I was sitting inside. I could easily have went back to the counter and said something.
Instead, I just went with it. Guess I’m having a chicken sandwich today!
Now, that being said, I also don’t use AI. So, I would have never noticed it being down. But hypothetically, if I tried to use AI, and it didn’t work, I’d just do something else instead.
So it won’t be the number of complaints = the number of users affected. But it does give you somewhat of a scale.

tf you mean “it’s not just me” never have never will. Entirely local I’m good with, data mines run by racist pedophiles is a pretty easy nope for me. Can you say the same?
