What if you’re not a 15-year-old girl and therefore don’t have TikTok and Instagram are they going to arrest you? What a truly stupid country.

So does the US just want to totally kill its tourist industry because that seems to be the objective.

I get the idea of wanting physical representations of media and not relying on streaming services but cassette tapes were terrible.

You always have to fiddle on with the magnetic tape because something would always happen to it. It would get twisted up or unspooled or something.

At least with vinyl you never have to put up with the player randomly breaking the medium.

The only good thing about cassette tapes was that recording onto them was trivial, whereas with CDs you needed relatively expensive hardware and it was slow.

I just have a parrot that’s been trained on pop songs.

It’s their pitch to businesses. They haven’t thought about how that sounds to users though.

Fortunately it’s not true. I could turn up to work drunk and do a better job than the AI if only because the AI doesn’t know all of the idiosyncrasies of our system. It’s just a generic “one size doesn’t fit anyone” general solution database. Unless the company wants to train its own AI on its own knowledge base articles (Which of course are out of date) then Microsoft, and others, generic solutions are never going to work.

You definitely used a lot of words there. I don’t really think you said anything, but you certainly used a lot of words.

There’s no point telling it not to do x because as soon as you mention it x it goes into its context window.

It has no filter, it’s like if you had no choice in your actions, and just had to do every thought that came into your head, if you were told not to do a thing you would immediately start thinking about doing it.

Zuckerberg just wants to build his own universe where he’s in charge of everything and everything costs money and there no taxes.

You can bet there were pitching ideas such as paying people with game money.

A lot of those plans very much in the “assume a spherical chicken in a vacuum” territory. They only work on paper, and tend to assume things like criminal gangs are randomly just sort of going to get out of the way and not interfere. Also there are no corrupt government officials, and the people you are trying to help actually recognise that, and respond positively.

It’s got nothing to do with artificial intelligence, the writer of the article is just an idiot.

What quantum mechanical problem would an LLM be able to assist with? We don’t understand quantum mechanics all that well so how would an AI trained on a data be any better? Truly stupid article.

So you can’t actually solve problems. You can just look up previously solved problems.

What a clever idea to write the results of an experiment down.

Regardless of what JK Rowling is Harry Potter is a international sensation. It’s insane that they’re trying to remake it when it’s what less than 20 years old.

There’s plenty of good IP out there why don’t they make something of that.

Look at the writers guild of America pretending they don’t live in a fascist dictatorship where nothing matters but profits. How quaint.

The chances of this getting blocked under antitrust laws is roughly equivalent to me hitting oil in my back garden.

I really want to see a Dreamcast in a hermetically sealed bag. I will never get to of course because the sort of people who put dreamcasts in hermetically sealed bags are not the sort of people whose homes you want to go to.

The promise of “fiber to the home” is still mostly unrealized

Really? The US is really unsophisticated in certain key areas that you wouldn’t expect.

Wow and hardly any loading screens.

Because they don’t have a clue how technology actually works. I have genuinely heard people claim that AI should run on Asimovs laws of robotics, even though not only would they not work in the real world, they don’t even work in the books. Zero common sense.

Pretty sure it’s also going to tell people to alt f4 as well.

It reminds me of that guy that gave an AI instructions in all caps, as if that was some sort of safeguard. The problem isn’t the artificial intelligence it’s the idiot biological that has decided to ride around without safety wheels.

This article is so stupid rmdir isn’t some magical military grade file eraser. It literally just flags the disc space as available, that’s it. Claiming these files are unrecoverable is like claiming that you have snapped someone out of existence, when you just delete them from your contacts.

The user in question was using AI to delete files, it probably took them longer to ask the AI to do it than it would have done for them to have just gone into the final browser and deleted them themselves, so they probably don’t know how to use data recovery software, that’s all.

I also find it intriguing that rather than using the AI’s advice and stop using the drive so they don’t overwrite data they decided that the best course of action would be to make a YouTube video about it. Which is probably a massive file and is probably overwritten previously recoverable data.

What a pillock.
