  So Google’s AI, or any AI really, likely got this concept from dystopian sci-fi novels.

  Since AI’s have no concept of context it won’t really know the difference between fact and fiction, and there we go.

  If your AI model isn’t perfect then don’t make people pay fucking money for it you fucking twats

  Also, this shit ain’t “lack of perfection”, this is akin to your car breaks suddenly refusing to work right when you get at a red light. If your car is so bad that it kills you, you don’t use it. If the manufacturer knew that it could happen but let you drive it anyway, they’re responsible, they at least get to pay (they should be thrown in jail, really, but different points)

  If AI fucks up and people die, the manufacturers shrug, oh well, oh you!

  Yeah, that is awesome still, but that is not cured. This sort of clickbait headlines are a prime example of the problem in /science and in science in general.

  Everything needs to be a success, a revolution, something Mike dropping. Nobody wants gradual improvement anymore

  For a few hundred bucks I have a mini PC with which I can do anything I want

  This thing, even at half price, would only allow office365, with monthly payments.

  Who the fuck would want that and not just spend a few bucks more and have an actual computer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh, that’s tech details that you won’t have to deal with at all

  I’ve used Linux on desktop for decades now (started way back at 2002) and the lady time o touched the kernel for normal desktop stuff is literally multiple decades ago

  Windows too has a kernel but nobody talks about it because you can’t really do shit with it unless you’re a developer

  With Linux you can do whatever the fuck you want and it’s all relatively easy. I can access and modify the Linux kernel in 10 seconds flat if I want to. THAT is why people talk a lot about the Linux kernel, because it’s so easy and powerful to use. Microsoft Windows kernels aren’t even worth talking about.

  But as a common user, you don’t HAVE to do stuff with the kernel if you don’t want to. My 70 year old mother doesn’t either and she’s fine using the Linux desktop that I installed for her.

  For high intensity gaming you might have to make small modifications here and there in human readable text files, and usually documentation about it is excellent.

  Most of Linux is so fucking easy to setup that last time I installed both Linux and Windows, the Linux (Kubuntu) cost 30 minutes to install and that includes the time to download the ISO and burn it on a USB and includes drivers for printers and GPU which were all setup and installed out of the box.

  The windows 11 install cost me 7 hours divided over 5 days.

  Amongst all the problems I ran into, I had to make BIOS modifications because it refused to install at all, it fucked up badly because I had the gall to burn a standard ISO with a standard ISO burning tool on Linux, completely forgetting that Microsoft always sabotages their software so that it won’t work well with Linux. I had to install windows on a virtual machine install some special fucking Windows ISO burner tool, burn the USB there, then it worked. That cost me hours over multiple days of searching the Internet on why the frack such a basic thing failed, plus the time required to set all that shit up just to be able to START the installation.

  Then during the installation I got so many questions, so many questions… So many… Please sign up here, please pay more money, please rent our services, please please fracking please! The install itself took a bloody hour to finish

  What I’m trying to say is: Linux is friggin easy. Windows is hell. Windows costs money, spies on you, serves you unwanted ads and your computer is no longer yours.

  Why does anyone even use windows to begin with? I don’t get it.

  And yet another lost of reasons why these billionaires are fucking removed. Yes, im using the horrible R word, but “idiots” just doesn’t suffice.

  These people are investing billions of dollars on unproven technology and now want to put trillions more in pushing those unproven technologies to space which is just removed levels of stupid. But the investments will happen, a ginormous amount of pollution will be made and it’s all nothing for humanity and a huge amount of money for a select few billionaires.

  Fuck this time line, fuck removed billionaires

  We need a wealth cap. Nobody should be able to do shit like this with impunity just because they have “enough money to do so”.

  Give me a 1M wealth cap world wide and I’ll give you a world where everyone is happy at relatively equal levels of wealth

  I mean, even if she is a child prodigy genius, which she obviously is not as she is face first fist deep into AI, how the frack do you have even enough life experience to become a director of any large organization at that age unless you somehow cheated your way in?

  Then reading the hat she’s doing and how she resolved it tells me she doesn’t know shit about computers, she just know how to type commands into AI systems

  Is this the future? Am I going to end up being one of those long bearded magicians that still know the old technology, that still can still save the day by using shell commands?
