- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 1 week ago:
It’s the 24h news cycle. Most news sources are battling for your attention/clicks every day and if they keep digging into a story that people already know, they’ll get less clicks. It has to be new or it just gets scrolled past. This isn’t unique to america. It’s everywhere. Even here on lemmy.
Steve Bannon has recognized this and weaponized it for Trump with his ‘flood the zone’ approach. Keep blasting new headlines and nothing will really stick.

- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 1 week ago:
His comparison to snake on his Nokia is actually good because in its current state AI is like a little gimmick for many users. Sure there are use cases but it can’t reliably perform any truly critical tasks because it makes terrible mistakes.
Imagine Nokia shoving snake in customers faces as it is being done with AI. Every phone marketed as OPTIMIZED FOR SNAKE. A big snake button on the phone as a shortcut to open it. Snake integrated everywhere. Trying to send a text? Would you like to play a round of snake first?
That’s what AI currently feels like.
- Comment on New battery life record: This CPU makes the best known business laptop more efficient 1 week ago:
I don’t see many users upgrading the memory on a laptop like this either but would criticize soldered RAM based on the aspect of repairability. T14s are often used in business which means hundreds of machines handled by IT departments. Boards will die and technicians will throw them out including the RAM. Now granted most companies don’t bother with hardware repairs anyway but somewhere down the chain someone will have these machines on their workbench and the easier it is to fix them up the better.

You got the perfect time. My rhythm is to get up, go to work, come home and nap for 20-45min so I can then tackle the rest of the day. It’s like a soft reset.

- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 3 weeks ago:
Yeah they do though. His bet before the 2008 crash was similar. It’s where the market is pointing. Publicly available data suggests there’s a big ass bubble. The timing is essentially a bet. Last time it almost wiped him out because he was a bit early. We’ll see how it goes this time.

All crappy IoT devices ever made. They aren’t used in bot nets all the time because hackers like the challenge of hacking them so much. Security simply isn’t a priority.

This an open letter to Argentina? These are dark times we’re living in, Argentina. Make your flag sad.
Look at this entry for the NZ flag referendum entry from 2015. That’s a modern flag design fitting of our current times.

- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 month ago:
So many posts on on social media are obviously AI generated and it immediately makes me disregard them but I’m worried about later stages when people make an effort to mask it. Prompt it to generate text without giveaways like dashes. Have intentional mistakes or a general lack of proper structure and punctuation in there and it will be incredibly hard to tell.
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 month ago:
The last 5% aren’t a nice bonus. They are everything. A 95% self driving car won’t do. Giving me random hallucinations when I try to look up important information won’t do either even if it just happens 1 out of 20 times. That one time could really screw me so I can’t trust it.
Currently AI companies have no idea how to get there yet they sell the promise of it. Next year, bro. Just one more datacenter, bro.

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 2 months ago:
I’m a sys admin in the public sector and the hardware requirements of W11 are a great blessing. I couldn’t have convinced thousands of workers to switch to Linux and get used to another GUI but this forces it on us because there simply is no money to replace all that hardware. Rolling out Mint clients and between this and mobile operating systems Microsoft is finally losing its monopoly on the OS market.
