The ultimate purpose of AI was always to tell me what digit this is, anything else is just grift

VR is such an incredible thing for me because I somehow avoided any and all hype around it, then got to play around with some oculus thing at a conference and play Beat Saber and was like wow, this is really cool

And then you start reading people compare AI hype to VR hype and I'm just sitting there being like wait, was this ever supposed to be more than a Beat Saber platform? What did they claim it would do? Oh no.

Ahh, now it registered, lol

as well as a iron-clad price floor for electricity

Lol isn't the main cool thing of having a nuclear plant low electricity costs, why the fuck would you agree to that

Let's increase the supply but also add a price floor to reap none of the benefits, genius economics

all according to k5u

wait are there non-queer people on Tumblr even??

I mean, it's the same company that didn't realize that half its traffic was porn, so it's on brand

wait, what's blockchain tree forts

but if this interests you at all, check it out.

ye that's how most normal people use the internet? what's the alternative strategy, checking it out if it doesn't interest you?

Hopefully PG learned this skill in the last 20 or so years.

LOL.

LMAO.

I hope this was sarcastic.

And in either case, the aura of being a tech company instead of a company is lost

I don't understand this and am kinda afraid of what hides behind this

one might be tempted to assume it’s something that’s readily replicable by the competition (and they need to prevent that as long as they can) instead of any sort of notably important breakthrough.

ah yes, open AI

The only invidious instance that works this week is nadeko:

We had different childhoods

Passenger! I wanted to drive people to their cool vacations and whatnot. Also passenger trains go vroooom and freights are like super slow and lame, and carry coal or some other boring stuff.

developers are scrutinising AI-written code less than they would scrutinise their own code

Wait, is this how Those People claim that Copilot actually "improved their productivity"? They just don't fucking read what the machine output?

I was always like "how can Copilot make me code faster if all it does is give me bad code to review which takes more than just writing it" and the answer is "what do you mean review"????

I wanted to be a train.

This year, to put their coins on the map (...) a pair of creators rubbed up against one another in their underwear

Okay, those two clearly just wanted to do that but were so deep in the closet it had to be a "crypto marketing scheme".

Elon, probably

I also had some extremely cringeworthy and not-even-wrong opinions 23 years ago, but at least I was 3yo then.
