Bad code from AI is just the latest version of mindlessly pasting from Stack Overflow.

Humans literally can not scan all of SO to make a huge copypasta.

It takes much more time, effort, and thought to find various solutions on SO and patch them together into something that works well.

Pretty sure immortan joe is going to be wearing all that gold.

Between AI and shitcoin mining

The difference is that the better shitcoins have been upgraded to be 99% more energy efficient.

But there’s no foreseeable limit or escape from the waste of “AI”.

In world of so much need and suffering I can’t imagine anything that we need less.

Computer programs don’t deceive. They respond programmatically based on input given.

Any perceived deception by the computer is actually just irrational expectations, etc. by the user.

it will start by telling you it’s “thinking.” After a few seconds, it’ll specify that it’s “defining variables.” Wait a few more seconds, and it says it’s at the stage of “figuring out equations.” You eventually get your answer, and you have some sense of what the AI has been up to.

The opposite is true here. We are being intentionally misdirected by misleading/humanizing language away from what the computer is actually doing. Not even close to understanding what the “AI” has been computing.

However, it’s a pretty hazy sense. The details of what the AI is doing remain under the hood. That’s because the OpenAI researchers decided to hide the details from users… In other words, we’re not sure if Strawberry is actually “figuring out equations” when it says it’s “figuring out equations.” Similarly, it could tell us it’s consulting biology textbooks when it’s in fact consulting comic books. Whether because of a technical mistake or because the AI is attempting to deceive us in order to achieve its long-term goal, the sense that we can see into the AI might be an illusion.

The author conflates the actual deception of the developers with the imaginary deception of the “AI”. This type of terrible coverage is completely normal inside the “AI” bubble.

This tells you much much more about how graduate students are treated in academia than anything about “AI”.

does some reasoning steps.

The people who believe in “AI” say the wackiest things.

Phenomenal handout to a failing company while there are many people in desperate need.

Does this work for accepted conspiracy theories too? For example harris recited debunked propaganda about sexual assault by palestinians during the debates (similar to trump propaganda about refugees). This conspiracy is embedded deep in USAian propaganda. Would AI have been able to debunk that during the debates? Because accepted conspiracies are the most dangerous kind. For example they fuel genocides like the one we’re seeing now.

AI was able to lock up my computer in less than a minute! Do you know how long it would take for me to do the same?

It would probably take about a minute to google “python how to crash my computer” and then copy/paste.

Will he have to give back that skatepark that he stole? (serious questions)

If the military imprisoned soldiers for being dumb, there would be no military.

Asking for a donation =/= charging money for security updates

For anyone dipping their toes into Linux for the first time Ubuntu is by far and large the best place for them to start.

This was true maybe 10 years ago but not any more.

For example, the default gnome desktop is terrible. You have to install gnome tweaks to adjust anything. It requires some Chrome plugin… It’s an impossible chore for a n00b to increase the font size. Likewise with other simple adjustments.

I don’t care that the server is controlled by Canonical. Most Flatpaks are on Flathub and it’s not a problem.

If flathub became a problem, people could easily and openly switch another server.

Last I checked Ubuntu Pro is free for personal use on up to 5 machines.

It’s not free. It’s traded for your personal information.

It makes me feel like crappy news has been pumping the same phony stories for 60+ years.

I feel like there’s a few extremely privileged people heavily “invested” in “AI” and the rest of us are stuck listening to their grifting BS.
