- Comment on More than a quarter of new code at Google is generated by AI. 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if “code” means pull requests and they have a load of automated ones to update versions of external and internal libraries

I agree but I can see why someone might not want to invite the people they feel ruined their home back to have another go.
- Comment on The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it. 1 month ago:
Til I use “well actually” too much. I will edit, thank you for the constructive help with my shitpost

Do bombs explode? Or is it the explosives inside of them that are exploding?

Jfc Christ Lemmy.
Every single comment misunderstanding the point. The batteries are exploding because there’s explosives in them. This does make them exploding batteries. The explode because they are partially made with explosives. Please don’t well actually this.
No this is not a description of something Israel did, it’s a hypothetical way to do a similar attack to show how within reach of idiot terrorists it is.
Raising the idea of doing this so everyone is thinking about it is extremely bad for us all. Thanks Israel.

404 broke this with investigate journalism. Account needed to read, to prevent ai scraping.
- Comment on Fears for patient safety as GPs use ChatGPT to diagnose and treat illness 2 months ago:
You can build excellent expert systems that will definitely help a do tor remember all the illnesses, know what questions to ask to narrow things down or double check it’s not something weird, and provide options for treatment.
These exist and are good
Chargpt isn’t an expert system and doctors using it like one need a serious warning from the BMC and would eventually need to be struck off, same as using ouija boards or bones to diagnose illnesses.

It’s just a total coincidence the costs are the same then? Weird story

- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
If this is the problem spending a lot of effort to also serve ads along with the real video seems like it’d increase costs.
What you’re talking about is a real problem for Google but it’s not the only cause of the new behaviour since Neal took over

I didn’t see it earlier but I’d have assumed this was saying the police should be chasing Rotherham child abusers not wasting time on riots.

Do you have a link to a non blue sky blue sky instance for people to jon?
- Comment on Britain ignored its far-right threat and demonized Muslims. Now racist mobs have spiraled out of control. 3 months ago:
The suffering is real but the link to migration is entirely made up.
Not enough GPs for the population? They’ve retired.
Too much traffic? More and more people own cars and the entire country outside cities is designed to require them.
No home? Councils were banned from building them in the 80s of course we don’t have enough housing.
giving an inch on the core anti migration argument is a mistake because it makes the action to actually fix these problems harder.
No action on migration can ever be enough because the racists want to kick every black person born here out, and the “legitimate concerns” crowd won’t see any improvement in their lives and will keep demanding bigger and bigger action alongside them. - Comment on Elon Musk urged to take X responsibilities more seriously 3 months ago:
It’s a private company and the only investor that matters is musk.

It’s a fair point, thanks for the correction.
Not sure how I got the wrong impression, probably heard he’d been killed for being too woke or something.
- Comment on More than 100 arrested in London as violence flares after Southport stabbings 3 months ago:
People imagining something awful for years will be triggered when it finally (allegedly) happens but their fears are ultimately based on fearmongering.
Plenty of people are scared of the two assasinations of MPs by right wing lunatics.
Or that mosque pipe bombing Or lots of other thanks that happen over and over because of these problematic communities you mention. Do we really need to understand the hate and intolerance to punish it? I don’t think so - Comment on Cyclists are dying on our roads at an alarming rate - why don't we care? 4 months ago:
Just the criminal ones. I think that would leave private eye
- Comment on We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem 5 months ago:
They’re really, really bad at context. The main failure case isn’t making things up, it’s having text or image in part of the result not work right with text or image in another part because they can’t even manage context across their own replies.
See images with three hands, where bow strings mysteriously vanish etc.
