Might have something to do with Ireland repeatedly protesting what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank. And we all know who is pulling the strings on Trump (aside from Putin).
Netanyahu: “Ireland is being mean to us! Do something!”
Trump: incomprehensible AI slop exhibiting hostility towards Ireland
This is what happens when you let the oil industry and their lobbyists have unfettered control of the narrative and legislation .You get a huge number of politicians falling into their pockets, and progress is stymied at every turn.
It’s actually kind of surprising America has made the limited progress on EVs that we have. But it’s nowhere near enough. And now we are paying the piper.
“I will NOT live in fear”
Proceeds to live in fear of people of color, women with careers/ambitions, gay and bi people, trans people, left wing people, immigrants, non-Christians, science, masks, renewable energy, social distancing, being expected to show empathy/kindness, etc etc.
Dollar store reddit, now with extra AI crap? Oooooh… Sounds fucking terrible!
I don’t have a strong preference. I’m just waiting for the Star Trek Wars, followed by the Star Wars Trek (when Star Trek wins the war and Star Wars is sent into exile).
(Futurama reference, for those who didn’t know.)
Oh, fair enough.
Regular Tesla drivers who bought their vehicle several years ago, before Musk showed very clear signs of being a Nazi POS? Yeah I have some sympathy for them.
But Cybertruck users knew exactly who they were buying from. They deserve no sympathy.
While very different in some ways, some parallels between the AI-driven layoffs and the offshore outsourcing layoffs of the mid-2000s are striking.
Ultimately both scenarios were/are driven by corporate greed. And it looks like the AI one is backfiring for many of the same reasons as the offshore one.
They are replacing experienced staff who have strong critical thinking abilities and hands-on knowledge, and the replacements lack the institutional knowledge and the ability to look at the big picture, and they substitute speed for methodological discernment.
Time is cyclical.
I’m sure that soundbite won’t come back to haunt him.
Yeah, he was a good contributor. Shame he’s inactive now.
even though he had a REAL ID identifying him as a U.S. citizen.
I don’t think REAL ID can be used to explicitly identify you as a US citizen. But it can be used to identify you as a legal resident of some form (either a citizen or a permanent resident). So they should still be good enough.
But when have ICE agents in this administration ever cared about legality or proof of anything. Gotta make them quotas!
Oh you’re right. So they are using the fraud/theft to punish him for his pro-vax opinions.
I’m expecting the current administration to intervene and a) frame him as a hero, b) exonerate him of the theft charges, and c) offer him a paid position in the administration.
Edit: Nevermind, I read that wrong. He’s pro-vax.
This is a good summary.
One thing I will add though, I don’t think AI is going away any time soon. The hype and saturation will probably fade a bit (hopefully). But what we are also seeing right now is a move to more self-hosted AIs due to price increases in things like Copilot.
I wish some if my coworkers would realize the limitations and hazards of over-using AI. Too many of them are still deep-throating all things AI, pushing for it to be used for every single little thing.
Is it possible? In many ways, yes. Combining a cutting-edge LLM with something like OpenClaw and lots of IoT (Internet of Things) connectivity, it could do a lot of what Jarvis does. At least in managing a building and doing some chores for a human locally.
Is it a good idea? Arguably hell no! LLMs are remarkable, but they have blind spots. Notably with being exploited and gamed by malicious players. Or just in making strange decisions or hallucinating shit. And there have already been a lot of horror stories about OpenClaw-enabled LLMs either getting exploited or just unilaterally doing detrimental things under (mostly) good intentions, and leaking PII or bank details or similar. Then you factor in all the security holes that IoT devices can be prone to, and the expenses of buying all the needed technology, and paying for all those LLM API tokens. Not to mention the environmental concerns of using a very powerful cloud-based LLM. I’m probably forgetting some other negatives too.
ETA: If you’re going to try creating a Jarvis type system for home automation and sooner online tasks, really make sure you take security and financial precautions. Don’t give it access to bank accounts and sensitive PII, ensure limits are in place for token usage, be very specific with any prompts you use, and for the love of God lock all devices and systems down behind really strong passwords/passphrases and (where possible) MFA that goes directly and only to you on a separate device or number.
Hi
Seeing how incohrrent and fractured humanity is, we’d meet them with a jumbled mix of:
And they would see all this and either destroy us in disgust or get the hell out of the solar system ASAP and cordon it off with hazard signs.
I think they assume we humans are just really shit at grooming. Like they are thinking “this giant hairless ape is terrible at grooming! Stop pecking like a damn bird and give a big ol’ lick! No wonder they frequently have to stand under water to clean themselves. Poor dumb weirdo species”.
But yes, they are still affectionate towards us. Pets licking is a sign of affection and bonding. I’m pretty sure I’m many cases there’s a good degree of ‘pity affection’ though.
WTF? Almost everyone does this! Sounds like you grew up with assholes who were looking for any excuse to mock and berate you. In which case, I’m sorry.
If you were frequently getting lost in your thoughts and not responding to them when they’d try to get your attention then maybe I could see some light teasing.
One thing I would add, not because it’s wrong to do this but because it might lead to people thinking it odd: if you are staring out of the same window or at the same wall for more than a few minutes, maybe switch your gaze to something else (a different wall or window or whatever). That way it doesn’t draw as much attention and it’s makes you look like you are more seated of your surroundings.
