my employer has been urging us to do as much as possible by hand

Now that is a palpable irony. So much disruption in this space so some investors could profit off of a tech they don’t even understand.

These people only care now because it’s actually affecting the bottom line.

Did they care when AAA pricing was lifted to $70 (base) as AAA quality took a nosedive? Did they care when “preordering” turned into “premium”? Did they care when microtransactions made some games into spend-to-win machines?

Hell, most of these clowns don’t even play games. Just more rich people putting on the hat they think they need to get away with a “hello, fellow gamers.”

Maybe the industry has a C-suite crisis.

I want one, but I don’t think they’re going to get the pricing near anywhere where it becomes a reality.

That said, I’m really happy that this product has at least started a conversation. I would 100% prefer a dumb flip phone than the advertising machine in my pocket. There is a suggestion of a market; we’ll see if the industry is too far up their own ass to respond.

Sadly I don’t think the revamped Commodore will have the clout to pull it off.

Of course the percentage of people who have ever used a chatbot is going to go up over time.

Yes, and crucially, it never goes down.

It’s like asking: “do you use a motor vehicle?” And then counting everyone who has ever been in a car, a truck, a bus, or potentially even a train as a yes. It plainly conflates active users with exploratory or incidental users.

The only reason to do such things is to inflate numbers because being honest about them makes it look bad.

How dare you come at me with self awareness!!

That’s a good point. I should have picked a weaker bird, but I know very little about birds.

If these “prominent GOP hawks” haven’t seen the writing on the wall by now, I don’t even know what to say. Sounds more like pigeon than hawk, with no offense intended to pigeons.

The administration is negotiating a federal preemption of state AI laws

It’s soooo much fun watching States’ Rights be either the most important American tenet ever or a stumbling block to progress, depending on the issue.

No see because Iran doesn’t want world peace, so the bombing is just to get the peace without their consent. It’s warpeace.

Ok, no reddit

Totally agree.

The biggest problem with AI isn’t the theft of everyone’s labor. It isn’t even the energy usage.

It’s the fact that no one, ever, considered the fact that humanity has no plan at all for how to deal with the impact of AI. We are watching it take over literally everything, and losing ourselves in the process. No one even considered the absolute negative impact on humanity purely from the standpoint of mental health and wellbeing.

It used to be limited to Tuesdays, but now tacos are an every day thing.

Really though, the amount of flip flopping is staggering. It’s because the President of the United States has literally no clue what he’s doing.

It took Arch ~19 years just to get archinstall.

Something tells me there won’t be a script.

You know how you can put something on eBay for any amount of money? Of course it won’t sell if it’s priced too high, but the price can be set however.

Then people with random items go on eBay. They see their item priced at some exorbitant level and make the jump: “this thing is worth so much money!” Even though it isn’t worth that. It never sold for that. Someone just picked a number.

Starting to feel like this is how valuations work.

No one wants to work!

Correction: no one wants to work for little to no reward. A broken social contract with zero upward mobility. Benefits of a job well done only go to the fat cats at the top. Many more reasons than these, too.

More doctors than anyone! Everyone is saying it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Right?? Lol

These dinosaur politicians see Trump as a benefit the same way CEOs see AI as a money machine. They don’t care what the mechanisms are, or what has to be abandoned/contradicted to use it. They want “number go up.”

And that’s why we need new folks in Washington (and fewer CEOs).

Not really the good news it sounds like. They’ll change who is involved and then pass the bill. It wasn’t blocked because of the nature of the surveillance.

They’re named after Dr. Arnold Kegel.
