- Comment on I could quit AI anytime I want to 6 days ago:
Last time I sullied my fingers with a copilot prompt, it decided lobster was vegan so I immediately scrapped that idea and went back to real intelligence. I would be 100.00% delighted if “AI” disappeared.

That’s a pretty genius ad.

speakers on the back like those new chargers
How anyone could drive one of those without feeling like a total doofus the whole time, I’ll never know…

Oh sure you have usable space, but is your powerful (not even a little bit insecure) masculinity being projected effectively??

See that’s more like it!

I ride past the gas station on my way to work and think “$1.69? Them’s rookie numbers. Let’s see if you can crack $2/litre.”

“…to first face that challenge and to overcome it in some way that suits them as a player.”
Honestly when that player is me, this is just going to mean playing a different game. I’m old and busy, I really don’t have the time or energy for hard games.

Ok but if you’re nervous, presumably there’s an expectation that it might not go well…and then you’ll want to leave…in your car…while all that vodka seeps into your brain.

I would be concerned about Boris wrecking a perfectly good foyer. Maybe put at the end of your street, leaning on a tree, just make sure the neighbors know what he is, but not who put him there.

- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 6 months ago:
My partner gets some similar fancy eggs and loves them, but I have to hide 'em in something. They’ll definitely enhance a fried noodle dish, but if you’re just frying the egg on its own, I’ll pass.
- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 6 months ago:
I guess maybe some of us are more sensitive to sulfur than others. I’ve never had an egg that didn’t seem at least a little bit farty.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 6 months ago:
Ah no, definitely not losing your mind! I wish you luck (and infinite patience) in talking some sense into your friend.
- Comment on How does capitalism differ from crony capitalism? 6 months ago:
“Crony capitalism” is a term invented by defenders of capitalism so that they can put all the bad parts of capitalism in a separate bucket and say “that’s not real capitalism.” It’s a “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 8 months ago:
I wouldn’t even recommend using LLMs in place of search engines, since they make stuff up. If it’s providing sources, you can check those, but you have to be rigorous enough to check every detail, which just isn’t realistic. People are lazy.
The best way I’ve heard them described is “bullshit machines”, and I don’t say that because I think they’re stupid, but because they “bullshit” as opposed to lying or telling the truth. When you’re bullshitting, the truth is irrelevant, as long as it sounds good. That’s exactly how LLMs work.
So if there’s a problem that can be solved by bullshitting, that’s where an LLM might be the right tool for the job.

- Comment on In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena? 10 months ago:
I agree with the “panic, not bubble” assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don’t think there’s actually anyone who’s going to be “the next google”.
The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there’s a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.
But I don’t believe that’s where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They’re smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.
I’m not immersed in this, so maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they’re talking about, the the whole “AI” craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.
