This whole industry is so full of hype and scams, the bubble surely has to burst at some point soon.

This crude recourse to “evolutionary fitness” is the rhetoric of fascists.
I’m almost won over by your charming manners, but…
I quite like lane assist in the 2019 Honda I drive, even though it gets it wrong occasionally. It will not function unless it detects that you’re providing some steering input of your own, and it’s easy to override just by steering the way you want to go. That and cruise control are handy on the highway and have worked well for 6 years with no problems. But it’s very far from either functioning or being advertised as “full self driving.”
Wouldn’t someone have noticed all the traffic on the network? And if the conversations were processed locally, wouldn’t someone notice the energy and cooling needs of the processor in the bulb, not to mention the presence of a load of memory? This seems very implausible.
It seems to be a common thing, couching misogyny in the language of “protecting” or “defending” women. This stuff makes my skin crawl.
We all know that cops will try to charge you with assaulting them if you so much as shrug while being arrested. And they’ll contrive situations just so they can do that. I’d say that makes their statistics meaningless without specific details and proof.
Trump will destroy it because it’s icky stuff relating to women, and it serves to help women.
She said that there’s been a 500 percent increase against ICE agents who are just “trying to do their jobs and remove public safety threats from… communities.”
Exactly what the Nazis who ran extermination camps claimed.
Didn’t the USA have a trade agreement with Canada (NAFTA) which Trump ripped up during his first presidency? And then during that same presidency didn’t Canada and the USA negotiate a new one (USMCA), which Trump ripped up during his second presidency?
They came to an agreement with Canada too, and Iran, before they suddenly decided they didn’t. Agreements with the USA aren’t worth much.
Seems like in the USA everyone gets treated badly all of the time, except the very richest.
You have 10 minutes to clear your desk and get out. Not a team player!
Hmm, they sound nice.
That’s a difficult choice. So many good candidates. But we’re still nicer than that, for now.
If it gets wrong enough, people will stop using it. So it would be in the interests of AI companies to pay for good sources of data.
Or at least you’d hope that. In actual fact they’ll be thinking: let’s keep stealing because most people don’t know or care whether what the AI says is true. Besides, they can make money by turning it into a tool for disseminating the views of those who can pay the most.

I recently learned that Steve Ballmer is a director of and major donor to the Jewish National Fund, which supports the Israeli military and the settlers in the West Bank and around Gaza. This made me like Steve Ballmer slightly less.

I tried to dictate some documents recently without paying the big bucks for specialized software, and was surprised just how bad Google and Microsoft’s speech recognition still is. Then I tried getting Word to transcribe some audio talks I had recorded, and that resulted in unreadable stuff with punctuation in all the wrong places. You could just about make out what it meant to say, so I tried asking various LLMs to tidy it up. That resulted in readable stuff that was largely made up and wrong, which also left out large chunks of the source material. In the end I just had to transcribe it all by hand.
It surprised me that these AI-ish products are still unable to transcribe speech coherently or tidy up a messy document without changing the meaning.
