the joke was on law firms, not individual lawyers.

When you read about them on the news, they are usually associated with protecting the very rich from accountability, like the NFL Vs concussed players, Big Tobacco Vs people they knowingly gave cancer to or various Wall Street criminals.

to be fair, who could have predicted that insulting and damaging your best customers was a bad marketing strategy?

You know you're in deep shit when law firms are the good guys

It didn't impact that small island inhabited only by penguins, so it's not technically a "global" recession, ok?

It says "remove them", not "forbid them". The Nation's food supply is going to be dunked in ammonia before you can eat it.

Adding a "/s" because given the times this sounds weirdly plausible...

As an alien I would now spend all my time targeting wannabe influencers. Wait until they are alone, get naked and let them take high-quality pictures and videos of my green ass while I dance and play yankee doodle on my harmonica

"it drove right through my kitchen wall. And I hadn't even ordered one!"

A high share of people always think the President should have more power, until they find out the President no longer needs to give a shit what they think

When the man finally chokes on his last cheeseburger, he's going to use his last breath to blame Biden

Would you say you are good at creating a meal plan or a work schedule by yourself, with no AI? I suspect if you know what a good meal plan looks to you and you are able to visualize the end result you want, then genAI can speed up the process for you.

I am not good at creative tasks. My attempts to use genAI to create an image for a PowerPoint were not great. I am wondering if the two things are related and I'm not getting good results because I don't have a clear mental picture of what the end result should be so my descriptions of it are bad

In my case, I wanted an office worker who was juggling a specific set of objects that were related to my deck. After a couple of attempts at refining my prompt, Dall-E produced a good result, except that it had decided that the office worker had to have a clown face, with the make-up and the red nose.

From there it went downhill. I tried "yes, like this, but remove the clown makeup" or "please lose the clown face" or "for the love of Cthulhu, I beg you, no more clowns" but nothing worked.

I am not using it for this purpose, but churning out large amounts of text that doesn't need to be accurate is proving to be a good fit for:

• scammers, who can now write more personalize emails and also have conversations
• personality tests
• horoscopes or predictions (there are several examples even on serious outlets of "AI predicts how the world will end" or similar)

Due to how good LLMs are at predicting an expected pattern of response, they are a spectacularly bad idea (but are obviously used anyway) for:

• substitute for therapy
• virtual friends/girlfriend/boyfriend

The reason they are such a bad idea for these use cases is that fragile people with self-destructive patterns do NOT need those patterns to be predicted and validated by a LMM.

Yes, it's like the rubberducking technique, with a rubber duck that actually responds.

Sometimes even just trying to articulate a question is a good first step for finding the solution. A LLM can help with this process.

Meeting notes are the ideal use case for AI, in the sense that everyone thinks someone needs to write them but almost nobody ever goes back and actually reads them.

But when I got curious and read the AI generated ones (the ones from Zoom at least)... According to the AI I had agreed on an action that hadn't been even discussed in the meeting and we apparently spent half of the meeting discussing weather conditions in the various locations (AI seems to have a hard time telling the difference between initial greetings or jokes and the actual discussion, but in this one it became weirdly fixated with those initial 5 minutes)

I hope we can finally see who wins between one Elon-sized toddler and 100 toddler-sized Elons

Wait, my hand is still on the piece.... I.... have ... not.... completed..... my..... move

worth giving it a try....do NOT, I repeat do NOT spray RFK Jr with DDT every time you see him. I am a liberal and this would really make me cry. Don't do it!

I like it a lot but I need two physical SIM slots so it doesn't work for me, unfortunately. But great idea and love the price drop

I still wanted to visit New York. Where can I apply for the free return ticket?

if things get any shittier, this administration is going to have to stop people at the border in the opposite direction

Thanks, I understand better now.

On a related note, I wish I had known of the "just because I said it and I did it, doesn't mean I succeeded" line of defense when I was a kid
