The company I work for (we make scientific instruments mostly) has been pushing hard to get us to use AI literally anywhere we can. Every time you talk to IT about a project they come back with 10 proposals for how to add AI to it. It’s a nightmare.

I got an email from a supplier today that acknowledged that “76% of CFOs believe AI will be a game-changer, [but] 86% say it still hasn’t delivered mean value. Ths issue isn’t the technology-it’s the foundation it’s built on.”

Like, come on, no it isn’t. The technology is not ready for the kind of applications it’s being used for. It makes a half decent search engine alternative, if you’re OK with taking care not to trust every word it says it can be quite good at identifying things from descriptions and finding obscure stuf… But otherwise until the hallucination problem is solved it’s just not ready for large scale use.

The Kansas GOP said it was “disgusted” by the comments and that they do not reflect the views of Kansas Republicans, who, it emphasized, “elected a black chair a few months ago.”

Lmao, seriously they’re going with “we have black friends, actually”

I was initially impressed by the ‘reasoning’ features of LLMs, but most recently ChatGPT gave me a response to a question in which it stated five or six possible answers sparated by “oh, but that can’t be right, so it must be…”, and none of them was right lmao. Thought for like 30 seconds to give me a selection of wrong answers!

Musk is pushing for drastic federal budget cuts targeting programs for vulnerable populations

Billionaire cuts services for the poor. Bears continue to shit in the woods. What next? The sun rises in the morning?

Sounds utterly weird, but I’m intrigued

Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it’s actually about.

Seriously cool piece of kit! I have no use for it whatsoever, but can’t help but wish I did.

Actually they misspelled ‘ware’, they’re talking about who the nation’s biggest hero is afraid of.

Jeeeesus fucking Christ. John Oliver is pretty funny but it almost doesn’t feel acceptable to be laughing during some of that. Anyway, glad I didn’t fall for it 😬

I got one which appeared at first to be a wrong number, just someone asking if I was Catherine or something. I politely informed them of their mistake. They kept messaging, already a bit weird, but then started saying I was “a nice man, nothing like other men” and I slapped that block button. Idk where it was going (not even a man lol, sorry love) but I’m confident it would have ended with asking me for money… Eventually.

Ya my little bro is the same. He’ll announce some thing he’s learned and it collapses under the barest scrutiny… I only hope that the rest of us are able to teach him to apply that scrutiny himself. It’s pretty scary how kids just accept shit, if you take that into adulthood… Well, I think we see the results all around us in the world.

It’s an API call which emails a guy who just does it real fast by hand

Yeah it would be nice to see more of the methodology & the raw data tbh, kind of a shame they’ve left it a bit of a black box.

Shekel? Since when is that a hateful word…? It’s a currency!

A sample of 8 million cars is more than enough to be representative.

Automation should be a good thing. If we can have things that need to happen be done more efficiently with less work we absolutely should. But we should distribute the results of those efficiency gains fairly, which is where the current system fails.

I’m sure he’s weeping into his silk sheets right now from the indignity of the whole affair. Poor baby.

Is anyone surprised?
