an infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters will produce any answer you want but if you preinstall syntax specific autocorrect on the typewriters, the same results can be had with half the monkeys! this is the magic of AI, what an absolutely amazing thing if you don't know shit about math or hominids

I'm not a mad scientist, just a disappointed scientist

you say an AI agent hallucinated and took down production, but what I'm hearing is that you let a flock of stochastic parrots into the server room and now you're somehow surprised there's birdshit everywhere

Can we skip to the end of this ai bubble and just get to the "omg I can't believe how cheap all this surplus RAM is" part already?

the modern software user experience is akin to living in an apartment that's constantly being remodeled by a landlord who randomly shows up everyday to ask if you'd like to be punched in the junk now or maybe later

Ethical, environmental, technical, and sociological concerns aside*, if a bunch of the worst people you know are really into something, maaaaaaybe that thing is not a good thing? it's a heuristic that's worked pretty well for me so far, but idk, your morality may vary *in a pile that could be mistaken for a small planet

TIL heterospecific communication means communication between animals of different species, not straight people talking about straight people things

putting AI data centers in orbit is a great idea if you want to spend thousands of dollars per kilogram to give your computers extremely complex thermal management problems while being also bathed in cosmic radiation

@David@setouchi.social I just hope this doesn't tarnish FIFA's spotless reputation

*puts on old racing gamer pants* why I remember when AI was called CPU and everyone knew it was a cheating no-good rubberbanding bastard

my very energetic mother just served us nothing! and it's all thanks to that blasted International Astronomical Union

@molly0xfff@hachyderm.io "investing" and losing that much in crypto sounds something like a money laundering scheme that sunk campaign funds into crypto pump & dump schemes. My question is if Thanedar was intentionally providing liquidity for crypto holders or is he honestly that bad at picking investments.

@vantablack@cyberpunk.lol dear god this is not what they meant by wireless tethering

@skeletor@mas.to so true, yet I continue to A/B test this hypothesis in my personal life :picardfacepalm:

@xgranade@wandering.shop this always comes to mind when hearing about people using LLMs in the legal field. Like you want to take extremely careful and precisely intentioned language and pollute it with output from something that assembles sentences from a literally random grab bag of words!?? Both in programming and law there are multiple ways to define the behavior you want, but so many more to define not quite the behavior you were expecting, with costly consequences for failure.

ps: fwiw, my mask of choice whenever leaving home is a flo mask, as the elastomeric seal makes sure all air entering and leaving my precious lungs gets filtered. Cloth masks, like the one in my profile pic, fit over it nicely for a touch of style variety. Plus, an added bonus of constant n99 filtering is that I no longer need daily allergy meds. Ofc wearing a mask also helps protect others as well, but I wrote the above post while feeling particularly salty about germ theory deniers who would (sometimes literally) get up in my face about my efforts to protect their health because it hurts their feelings to see reminders of their own physical vulnerability and a subtle call-out to their own complicity in perpetuating a deadly plague. This tertiary effect is a small bonus when I'm feeling salty. My choice to mask up is usually driven by purer feelings of compassion for my fellow humans, though the end result of better controlling what enters and leaves my body is the same.

@computer@facts.computer it was a wonderful time, when computers were full of infinite potential. Now they're just full of infinite bullshit

@paco@infosec.exchange the only language model I'll ever need is one that can type 'A' followed a long series of h's at the click of a button, for whenever I need a response to whatever nonsense tech has come up with next

@Dee finally, a creation story that explains the state of the world

@amydentata@tech.lgbt requesting that they bring kindereggs and healthcare to trade for, uh, really good BBQ and a ridiculous amount of illegal fireworks?
