God damn it, at work they pay us to put that stuff on our personal phones… maybe I’ve been a bit too lenient on that, maybe I should get a work phone.

Well if you know of a better way to make AI Becky videos of even fatter women collapsing water slides, I’d love to hear it.
AI is vitally important to advanced economies. People doom scrolling cats playing fiddles and obese hillbillies on dirt bikes is a big industry.

LOL don’t worry, like all the Space Nutter fantasies from the 1950s onwards, they are wildly impractical and will never, ever happen.

Iran has been terrible at everything so far. I keep joking that they put huge arrows you can see from space with the naked eye showing where all their leaders, scientists, and generals are.
Iran must know they’re infiltrated from top to bottom by Israel, no? Especially after those “abandoned trucks” filled with drones thing?

Hmm, OK. Let’s see.
There once was a dumbass on Lemmy
Whose brain was so very empty
He repeated all the propaganda fed to him
With it his brain was filled to the brim
But it was all nonsense and he ended up sucking his own dick.
Oh well, I tried. I guess I’m the William McGonagall of limericks. Would you like an assortment of neuroleptics served on a cafeteria tray instead?
You are a hoot. You gobble up all the propaganda fed to you, but you seem to be blissfully unself-aware of this. Like, you think someone seeing a gif on Tik Tok will make them vote for Trump, but yet you’re somehow immune to the powerful propaganda rays, and you’ve got the truth. Like any conspiracy theorist.
Oh please don’t expose me to Putin’s Brain Rays, I don’t want to vote for Trump!!! Oh so scary!
(Oh and trying that 2024-era trick because you think anyone who disagrees with you is an AI is all I need to know about your brainpower.)

Negative frequency is a concept in signal processing, and many other domains.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_frequency
Phase could be the thing, beats me, it’s been a while. Negative resistance is also another one of those concepts that pop up now and then, specifically negative differential resistance.

They aren’t “powering everything”. JFC go lick a wall outlet, that’s what powers many things. WiFi is information, and indeed, they try to make it use less and less power.

After laughing so much, yes, I might need to sit down to catch my breath. I read about people like you, interacting with a live one is on another level!
Thanks again for the laughs!

I hope the medication tastes good at least? It’s amazing to be so invested in a nothing burger like that.
I guess I was wrong, my Sunday got better!
Please provide more.

Thanks!

lol hilarious, a real live 1950s McCarthy-era “Russians are drinking our precious bodily fluids” in the flesh! With the country that helped defeat the actual historical Nazis in the middle of it!
I didn’t think my Sunday could get any funnier or better!
Thanks!

I’d assume because in general we have smaller cities. I used to be big into RC stuff (remote control boat and car) and there were hobby shops around. All gone, or converted into old people hobby supplies only (macramé, bead work, hook rugs, etc)
I got all my shit on Hobbyking and aliexpress.
I also get my dental floss, electric toothbrush heads, and underwear on aliexpress. So it works both ways, the local retailers aren’t getting my money.

Instead it tries to make sense of it. Why? Because it learned strong language priors from us and it leans on that when the prompt is meaningless. It tries to make sense of it.
No, it doesn’t. You’re in sci-fi land. There is no “it” “trying to make sense”. That cogitation is happening in YOU, not the motherboard.

Why is any of this connected to a spinning turbine sucking air into a filter bag? We have collectively failed as a society, instead of building a leisure society, we build a society of useless over-engineered gadgets programmed by people driving to the office for no reason while being told to reduce our carbon emissions.

think the “fancy auto complete” meme is a disingenuous
“LLMs don’t have human understanding or metacognition”
Then what’s the (auto-completing) fucking problem? It’s just a series of steps on data. You could feed it white noise and it would vomit up more noise. And keep doing it as long as there’s power.
Intelligent?
