Too bad its never like “our ai agent went rogue and deleted ten billion dollars of medical debt”

@anpa2112 @riffreporter Brutal. Das Onlinegeschäft vieler Medien bricht ein, seit Google die KI-Antworten eingeführt hat und viele gar nicht mehr auf die Links gehen, die zu Medien führen. Bisher ist aus x solchen Klicks dann mal ein Abo geworden, das dann die Gehälter und Honorare mitfinanziert. Das ist ein zusätzlicher Stressfaktor.

@dch I love how it’s @&$}-assumed that you need to 3D print a case for such boards, but this one happened to have one. But that’s unrelated to the thing hiding in the top(1) headers.

@lykrast You are a good cat servant

the AI is a god that can’t spell, and apparently you’re very silly for thinking that might be an issue

@jonny I mean, that does sound smarter than all the executives combined who force their employees (and customers) to use AI as much as possible to "not fall behind in the market".
It is most certainly smarter than the average "it's just a tool and if it doesn't work for you, you are using it wrong" bro.

> Enter the pearl-clutching brigade, who have deemed real history to be “age inappropriate” content so shocking that it requires age and identity verification to view.

the AI was a grandmaster chess player until it being horrible at chess became a meme

the AI is an incredible mathematician in countless breathless papers but every time you ask it a basic math question it fucks it up badly

the AI is just a tool until you refuse to use it, then it’s a revolution and we can’t afford to be left behind and using it is required

the AI is an incredible boon to open source, as it fractures communities and generates unsalvageably bad code in quantities so massive it can’t realistically be cleaned up

the AI will set you free, but your access to it is gated by a gigantic corporation that’s losing money at every realistic price point they can charge for the thing

the AI is loved by most people until you look at literally any of the polls we’ve done asking people what they think of AI

It's been a process!

@Long_live_rock_n_roll thank you for the toot. It inspired me to look up his iconic performances during Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985... what an electric performer. Wow, wow, wow.

And at the risk of sounding like a boomer, it was incredible to see the entire stadium vibrating during his performace, with audience members singing and dancing along. Not a single smartphone in sight because... 1985 🥲

the AI is on the cusp of AGI except when the topic is all the moral issues around enslaving a sentient being and doubt that an AI god is even possible, then the goal was never AGI at all and you’re silly for thinking that’s still a thing

the AI is a transformative tool that creates unique output when the topic is copyright, but if you evaluate the AI’s output and find that it just blatantly copied something from its training set (Servo, SuperTuxKart, gcc, clang, there’s so many examples when you look), then the AI was never capable of transforming anything and you were silly to think it was

I mean is it not normal to yell out "witness me furbag!" at your cat when you stumble in front of them because it sure is fun...

you can’t be de-skilled if you never had skills to begin with, like me

@dch Using imagine.sh (and actually worked the first try, given that I sure didn’t want to find a 3.3v UART and locate the pins, and…

@CCC Ich finde, man sollte den Spannern beim trainieren der KI kreativ unterstützen.

This is *nuts*!

We were told that nuclear would make electricity too cheap to meter.

Instead, renewables are providing 77% of the UK's electricity right now - so we're going to be paid to use power for most of the day.

Die "I Love RuZZia&Putin"-Initiative aka
#Neutralitäts­initiative verfolgt in Wirklichkeit ein anderes Ziel:

Aufhebung der Sanktionen für den geliebten Kriegsaggressor...

Eftec ist ein Ableger der Blocher'schen "EMS Chemie". Sie produziert unter anderem Dichtungs- und Abdeckungs­wachs sowie Kleb­stoffe für Autos und Lastwagen und hat auch zwei Standorte in Russland.

Jetzt zeigen die Recherchen meiner @republik_magazin Kollegen Lukas Häuptli und Fabian Kohler:

In Firmen- und Behörden­dokumenten gibt es mehrere Hinweise darauf, dass Eftec ihre Produkte auch an vier russische Unter­nehmen verkauft hat, die auch Rüstungs­güter herstellen, die die russische Armee mit Militär­fahrzeugen beliefern und die russische Soldaten finanziell unterstützen, wenn sie in den Krieg gegen die Ukraine ziehen. Die Unter­nehmen stehen deshalb auf den Sanktions­listen der Schweiz und der EU gegen Russland.

Teil den Text mit allen Unschlüssigen...und just a friendly reminder: wenn fremde Panzer über unsere Landesgrenze rollen (egal von wem). Mit dieser Initiative sind wir einfach noch isolierter. Weil literally gar niemand uns unterstützen wird.
