I’m fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.

As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.

I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I’ve never looked into it deeply.

No, you didn’t “edit” your mistake, you completely changed the meaning of your response which makes anything after it look absurd.

You originally stated that an algorithm was intelligence, the implication being that using your logic, you thought that a calculator was intelligent.

As far as the meaning of AI, you clearly don’t understand the landscape surrounding the hyperbolic assertions made by ignorant journalism about the topic.

Machine learning is one aspect of the landscape, useful as it is, intelligence it is not.

LLM emissions on the other hand appear to emulate enough grammatically correct language to fool many people some of the time, leading to their mistaken belief that what is happening is intelligence rather than, at least from their perspective, magic.

(Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. – Arthur C. Clarke)

So, intelligence it is not, Assumed Intelligence is what it is, or autocorrect gone uppity if you prefer, an algorithm either way.

Ignorance is bliss…

A.I. means Assumed Intelligence, despite what you might have read elsewhere. Using it to do “research” is how you’re going to get first hand experience with so-called “hallucinations”.

But you do you…

Yeah, good luck with that. The Facebook bots are so bad, they literally hammer sites into the ground, to the point where they’re actively being blocked.

Where is this “community” you speak of?

So, if the author is prominently featured on the cover of a book, how hard is it to not pickup or buy a book by an author you don’t care for?

I mean, you have to at least be able to read before there’s any point in buying a book, unless you need toilet paper in a compact portable form and then the author really doesn’t matter…

Anyone?

I was recently introduced to a Microsoft focused Managed Service Provider who told me to my face that they absolutely adopted it in their business to “help run it”.

After that I stopped listening to anything they had to say.

Microsoft has very deep tentacles all over the Australian Government, even more after they donated some money for a random new initiative which does nothing for society and in my opinion absolutely benefits the Microsoft bottom line.

We’ve had “Cash for Comments”, this is “Government Bought and Paid For”…

I did originally write that in my post, but deleted it because I asked myself, “What’s the alternative?”

And so the world of WordPress comes to an inglorious ending …

AI does not mean Artificial Intelligence, it means Assumed Intelligence.

The response from the owner just adds the missing ingredient.

Well AWS ACM already automates this, so if the renewal period gets shortened, I’m guessing that this will be updated to suit, unless I’m misunderstanding your point.

I hadn’t considered the CPU load, but that’s a fair point. I’m guessing that a suitable piece of code will utilise specialised hardware, or perhaps leverage the GPU or just in time SSL certificates will become a thing.

I’m not familiar with either, but Duck Duck Go suggests:

I’m sorry, but has no-one heard of https://letsencrypt.org that issues certificates via API for free?

I would not be surprised if certificates at some point will be issued for each session.

You don’t need anything as elaborate as you appear to be contemplating.

That moment when you realise that every single ancestor had sex so you could be here posting on social media…

Wow!

I’m guessing that WordPress will be forked soon …

Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.

Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.

The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.

It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…
