  I love George very much, but he was a comedian, and you linked his comedy show. Brilliant, like everything he did, comedy show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  You might afford too much malice to something that might be just a generational incompetence total lack of care. Smart kids don’t increase this quarter’s profits, therefore are irrelevant.

  Yeah, it’s one of those thighs that we all need to get more of, it never hurts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 5 stages of Charles Manson⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Obese commenter @Jimmycakes@lemmy.world with no friends and social life, who recently discovered a huge wart on his nose, and who just remembers that nobody likes him, left a comment on a post recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, you absolutely can test it.
  And then it gives you (and this is a real example, with real function names removed)

  find_something > dirpath
  … rm - rf $dirpath/*
  do_something_in_the_dir(dirpath)

  And it will work, but on a failure of a first question, instead of failing gracefully it wipes your hard drive clean.
  You can find shit like that on the regula Internet, but the difference is, it will be downvoted and some nerd will leave a snarky comment explaining why it’s stupid. When llm gives you that, you don’t have ways to distinguish a working code from a slow boiling trap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As with a lot of things in your life, you think you know something, but actually you don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You. I couldn’t avoid you. That’s what I’m mildly afraid of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam OS is basically Arch Linux with KDE and Steam that autoruns in their special mode. It would even be easier to setup for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s scary is that chatbots will make more people like you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I see you aren’t grasping the concept, and now are saying some random words to hide this fact. But then again, it is to be expected, we kind of started with the idea that you lack higher cognitive functions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  More like how some people are afraid of needles but aren’t afraid of deadly diseases. Their primitive understanding of reality allows them to draw connection between prick and pain, but not between an invisible to the naked eye organism and a gruesome death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  See, this is the problem I’m talking about. You think you can gauge if the code works or not, but even for small pieces (and in some cases, especially for small pieces) there is a world of very bad, very dangerous shit that lies between “works” and “not works”.
  And it is as dangerous when you trust it to explain something for you. It’s by definition something you don’t know therefore can’t check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that LLM can’t know truth, that’s obvious but besides the point. Its that the user can’t really determine when the lies are, not to the degree that you can be when getting info from a human.
  So you really need to check everything, every claim, every word, every sound. You can’t assume good intentions, there are no intentions in real sence of the word, you can’t extrapolate or intrapolate. Every word of the data you’re getting might be a lie with the same certainty as any other word.
  It requires so much effort to check properly, you either skip some or spend more time that you would without the layer of lies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But like why not go to the real sorces directly in the first place? Why add unnecessary layer that doesn’t really add anything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a big deal. There is thr whole set of ways humans can gauge validity of the info, that are perpendicular to the way we interact with fancy autocomplete.
  Every single word might be false, with no pattern to it. So if you can and do check it, you just wasting your time and humanity’s resources instead of finding the info yourself in the first place. If you don’t, or if you think you do, it’s even worse, you are being fed lies and believe them extra hard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, same. I have to learn now to learn in spite of all the old disillusioned creatures that hated their lives almost as much as they hated students.
  And yet, I’m afraid learning from chatbots might be even worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you know, just like my cat is scared of distant fireworks but doesn’t give a flying fuck about climate change or rise of fascism in our own country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  so much of our lives is made up of people lying

  And that’s why we, as humans, know how to look for signs of this in other humans. This is the skill we have to learn precisely because of that. Not only it’s not applicable when you read the generated bullshit, it actually does the opposite.
  Some people are mistaken, some people are actively misleading, almost no one has the combination of being wrong just enough, and confident just enough, to sneak their bullshit under the bullshit detector.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not normal for a teacher to get angry. Those people should be replaced by good teachers, not by a nicely-lying-to-you-bot. It’s not a jab at you, of course, but at the system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The level of psychopathy required from a human to be as blatant at lying as an llm is almost unachievable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, obviously, you need higher cognitive functioning for all that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re speedrunning Danning-Kruger with an impressive force

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know the exact model unfortunately, It’s Sennheiser and they’re all weird. The old one can’t connect to their new configuration software so I can’t check.
  I also have their newer version, Momentum 3, and can very much recommend that one, all the same great quality, but also Bluetooth 5.0

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to buy a pair of good ones. Not hyped, not endorsed by whatever weird rap singer, but good ones.
  I bought a pair of good BT headphones 10 years ago, and they still going great. 10 years ago the battery lasted 20 hours, now it’s around 12 or so, which is still more than enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd choose 4 tbh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At least fox news is a propaganda machine for the wealthy and evil. As much as they try, they can’t do as much damage as a random generator that pretends that it isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  know AI in 10 years will.

  That kind of the main problem: there is no indication that it will. I know one thing: current way LLM works, the chances that the problem of “lying” and “hallucinations”, will even be solved are slim to none. There could be some mechanism that works in tandem with it, but it doesn’t exist yet.
  So most likely either we will collectively learn this fact and stop relying on this bullshit, which means there is a generation of kids who essentially skipped a learning phase, or we don’t learn this fact, and there will be a society of mindless zombies that are fed lies and random bullshit on a second-to-second basis.
  Both cases are bleak, but the second one is nightmarish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep my bread in the fridge, and then it doesn’t matter.
  I guess it means I’m in Pathfinder universe or something

  He can be working on whatever unrelated part and just be excited about the product that his company makes. It’s not impossible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Netflix showed time and time again that they are shit at counting money. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out they’re losing money on those ads but will do them anyway because managers eat the worst possible hype for breakfast.
