They’re making a joke by using a logical fallacy known as a false premise.

You mean you’d rather have a train set?

Monster Cable would have to find a new, useless luxury connection material. Platinum plated HDMI with carbon fiber strain relief boots.

I think it’s our pal Hanlon’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Stupidity more than adequately explains that one.

It took me a moment to figure out what you were on about. You actually think everyone on .ml is a Marxist Leninist? Do you think everyone on Blahaj is trans? Are you truly that much of a muppet?

Now this, THIS is absurd hyperbole. When you have to make massive assumptions about someone to make your point, you don’t have a point - you’re just making shit up.

It’s a thorn, equivalent to a th. Some people get all worked up over them using it like the bloke shat on their mother’s grave.

How could someone do something odd on Lemmy, bastion of normalcy?! It’s so unusual and offensive!

TFW you’re snogging him and you realize it’s one degree away from geriatric cunnilingus.

The penis and scrotum are encased in a thin layer of smooth muscle called the dartos fascia. It’s what causes the foreskin to close at end and the scrotum to wrinkle up when cold instead of just hanging like an empty sack when the testicles retract for warmth.

You’re screaming into the echo chamber, mate. Unless you’re so rabidly anti-AI you believe and spread one of a few comforting, imaginary narratives, you’ll be dog piled.

I’m staunchly critical of AI, but won’t pretend that it only consists of generative AI, that it still operates as poorly as it did years ago, nor that a disturbing percentage of the population either doesn’t care about or actually supports that shit, so I get my share of insults. Being pro-AI won’t get you much civility so set your expectations low. Unless you’re trolling. Then you’ve nailed it.

We bought one a fair bit before Musk went full Neo Nazi. It’s a great car, the best car I’ve ever owned. The only repair in nearly 180k km was a known issue covered by warranty. They could be fantastic if the company wasn’t run by a moronic, petulant Neo-Nazi.

Dumb for the dumb throne, cringe for the cringe lord!

JFC. Zero self awareness here. Peak fucking American.

Definitely not normal. I highly recommend a trip to a psychiatrist for evaluation. A good psych can help figure out the root causes of your issues, assist them with meds as needed, and refer you to a few appropriate psychologists to start reprogramming your noggin.

Electrical engineering. My mentioned coworkers are competent but more junior in the field. We did a miniature internal study and found the best models provided accurate, relevant information on the first prompt about 90% of the time when asked to explain or verify concepts. The remainder consisted of hallucinations or misunderstood queries.

They struggled with questions that instead required complex problem, providing some mixture of appropriate solutions, overly complex but still functional solutions, and hallucinated shite.

I recommended that we do not move forward with adopting AI in any capacity. While it has some utility for basic information retrieval and fact checking, it still required someone with sufficient knowledge to be able to quickly evaluate the quality of its output. Helpful for someone who knows what they’re doing, dangerous 10% if the time for someone who does not. I also highlighted the ethical concerns, many of which my peers were unaware.

I really appreciate your dismissive, arrogant tone. Your casual dismissing of my anecdote really added to how you provided even less substance to support your point.

But hey, it got you those “supporting the echo chamber by dunking on dissent” up votes, and that’s what we’re all here for, right?

I was assigned at work to evaluate a few LLMs for potential adoption, so I spent a solid week doing so.

Most of the “AI is broken and doesn’t work” on here is solid echo chamber cope. It’s more competent than several of my coworkers, though it’s thankfully not ready to replace knowledge workers as it requires a knowledge baseline to best direct it and evaluate its answers.

I still advised against using it for multiple reasons, including ethics, but much of Lemmy is playing make believe about the actual capabilities of LLMs.

It’s so they can repurpose that capacity for developing robots. It’s not good at all.

OpenAI told the BBC on Wednesday that it has discontinued Sora so that it can focus on other developments, such as robotics “that will help people solve real-world, physical tasks”.
