Why not both?

Every single working day where a suggestion or decision is made.

Sometimes it is a big deal and obvious but sometimes it is just keeping people doing the stuff that won’t break things that are already working.

Recipes are something I rarely take the first result for, since they can vary widely for the same dish.

Do you care what website it came from?

Have you ever checked to see if it actually matches the source page recipe?

Recipes are something that I always check a couple sites for to look for consistency or variation and some cooking sites are better than others.

I have experienced that in a relatively small number of user, communities, or instances. I tend to block them if they are jerks or the community encourages dog piling on people who “don’t get it” or the mods are power tripping.

They do tend to be active because they are so contentious, but it is very repetitive as they cycle through the same few topics.

Google and Bing return the results instantly for me.

Is chatgpt twice as instant?

The latter. Maybe even more than half once it becomes apparent that for profit pricing will cost more for worse results than just hiring people. I expect a large number of them to not be built.

The horrible AI ones are different than the older style that Google and other search engines have used for decades. The old style was mostly storage with enough processing to find the data and were air cooled. The new ones are mostly processing power and require more energy and water cooling because racks of processors run hotter than drives. They should be called processing centers instead of data centers, but they like using the confusion to make it sound like they are comparable to the old ones.

Anything that can is promoted as being able to do ‘everything’ instead of being the specialized tool that it is. LLMs have some limited uses but are being promoted to do the things they are terrible at and will never be AGI as an example of the current trend. GenAI being promoted as being able to create entire movies from scratch is another exaggeration of it’s actual near future capabilities.

Humanoid robots is next on my list of tech bro bullshit as it is already in the works.

That makes it something other than a search engine, not a new version of one.

Best description ever.

Fuck no, it is a lie. It is like an actor pretending to be a knowledge worker which fools people who don’t know better or who want to believe the lie.

Remember, it just regurgitates what it is fed plus some randomization and it can’t come up with novel ideas based on experience. That is what knowledge workers are for, applying knowledge to novel situations.

The range is reduced when used to haul things around or when the AC/heat are used. With charging being significantly slower compared to filling up a gas vehicle and without the option to use a gas can if it runs out, there are unknowns and people don’t like unknowns.

I think the range is fine for regular light use personally, but being concerned about a fairly short range isn’t completely baseless. Or would be if the people buying it actually used it as a work truck.

The issue isn’t that there are zero jobs. The issue is that there are far, far fewer jobs after automation and there are not other options.

We have massively reduced farm labor through automation, but people moved to industrial manufacturing. Manufacturing automation moved labor to office work and service jobs. In both there are still some people who design, build, and maintain the machinery, but they are a small fraction of what came before. We don’t have additional jobs waiting to be filled, and with big increases in automation it will be easier to automate any new potential source of labor.

This could be avoided by universal income and health care and other approaches where the general public benefits from all this automation, but the environment that pushes the automation gives them the power to keep that from happening.

Calm down Kamala.

That isn’t a friend, it is someone who shares mutual interests. You don’t need to cut them off, just acknowledge the actual relationship and decide if that is what you want.

I have four friends. Those four friends also have their own lives and aren’t available 24/7, but they will help putnif they can and I return the favor when I am able. There are a lot of other people I can hang out and do stuff with, but I wouldn’t expect them to help out with something outside shared interests. They might, but I wouldn’t expect them to.

I’m 50/50 as of today and have another day or two to decide before the wait list closes. The 2TB version with controller is the only one I would want, and it is 50% more than I wanted to spend.

But, the form factor and being ready to go out of the box is extremely enticing. The games I would play on it are the ones in my backlog that I don’t get to as they are more fun on a TV than a PC but switching screens is annoying. The way I see it is the steam machine is buying a console that can play all of the games I already have, which is far better deal than a console that I would need to buy games for.

It wouldn’t be a great way to spend money today, but it wouldn’t be a strain so I might end up flipping a coin tomorrow to decide.

You asked who would intentionally broadcast this. It is a feature that some people would want, and I provided an example. That example person might want it on all the time because they don’t know when they will be harassed.

I personally would not want it either.

It would be a great feature for someone who is being harassed by authorities like ICE and wants a public record to be available even if they are abducted or killed.

Is it even “lying” any more if that’s literally all they’re capable of?

YES

What were the odds that all six men in the last panel would be bald?

well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man
