We just got sick of approving all those annoying prompts! /s

These days they can also chain together tools, keep a working memory etc. Look at Claude Code if you’re curious. It’s come very far very quickly in the last 12 months.

How can you hear the DJ tunes over the server fans?

It’s substantially faster than most programmers at finding bugs too.

If so, that’s pretty wild, and understandable they’re declaring a state of emergency:

Median annual income in Philippines ~USD5,000
Median annual income in California ~USD100,000

Thanks for making me google cloaca, you goddamn cloaca.

You forget we are in an echo chamber here. Most people not only read the AI summaries, they believe them. Just the other day I saw a normie ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, instead of using a calculator. That’s how entrenched AI has become in their day-to-day. They don’t have to think any more. Thinking is hard. And that’s how Google is able to dominate the web. Steal the data and serve it up as slop that’s good enough for the everyday Joe.

Looking at Ukraine/Russia and now this, it feels like drone warfare has largely made military ships sitting ducks.

I watched someone in a YouTube video ask ChatGPT to add up some numbers for them, despite having a calculator on their phone. The sheer laziness at the expense of someone else’s energy was impressive. And don’t even get me started on the accuracy.

Team America: World Police

Sounds a lot like IBM.

Mar-a-lago sure feels like a sitting duck next to the open ocean.

It came from the mouth of a Microsoft executive, and Microsoft followed up with a statement saying they were moving Windows 10 to a service model.

This reminds me of Michael Peterson (The Staircase) failing to mention to his lawyer while under investigation for the murder of his wife (who was found dead at the bottom of a stairwell) that a previous wife also died by falling down stairs.

I had to check after this comment.

840,000 pedophiles / 55,653,768 UK adults = 1.5% of all adults or 1 in 66 adults. That is much higher than I thought, and I assume it’s a similar ratio globally.

Exactly - comments are what you make of them. In high traffic communities they do indeed degrade into echo chambers as the poster above you suggested, but IMHO that attitude is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I find comments useful to gauge public opinion on current events, or have more nuanced discussion about special interests.

It’s more an issue of communities than it is comments.

The only thing I miss is the comments, but I’ve got Lemmy for that.

Some people print their Bitcoin wallet recovery phrase onto a metal sheet, so they’ve got a fire and error proof way to recover the wallet. That would be easy to steal.

Reminds me of soldiers giving away secret base locations through Strava and dating apps.

I guess the point I was trying to make in my original post is - say we invent human robots tomorrow - what’s better about them than actual humans, which we already have an unlimited supply of? It just seems like a god complex thing to me, not really solving any major problems for humanity.
