Every couple of years I try out the latest "assistant". I ask very simple queries, stuff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.

Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: "What's the weather going to be like today?" "I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?" "What are my appointments today?"

You'd think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even close to a satisfying answer. I don't expect LLMs to fare better this time around.

So you're starting to hate reddit more than X. Understandable. I think the social media companies are lost, they had their time.

... so they can learn what ads you're willing to tolerate.

Voyager on android, im perfectly happy with it.

It's getting so tiresome. Improve products? Improve service? Improve quality? Improve efficiency? Improve literally anything? Nahh, let's slap an LLM on it and see whether we can fire some people.

It started as an experiment to get off the Windows 11 train wreck for me and now I can't imagine ever going back. Linux is so far ahead, it's not even a competition.

I think, therfore I SLAM!

This is fantastic! I played the multilayer mod back in the day and it was always a blast.

As usual I wonder if this exchange is real. But it probably is, so... ow!

The future is looking bright for bazzite

I finally started playing Suzerayn and it's the perfect game for the current tumultuous times.

It's about leading a country while managing issues like immigration, nationalism and the grip of superpowers.

I can't stress how incredibly fitting it is right now. It's also pretty great and very well written. You do have to love reading, though, it's all about politics after all.

"Huge lunch debts"??? WTF is this even? How does the US even function?

I've been here for 12d now and feddit hasn't lost it's charm. That feeling of how the internet was before the big companies is so refreshing.

I don't think any of this is intentional. There is no secret plan or grand strategy, it's all as chaotic as it looks.

It's like a fucking forum for adults!

Monthly amount is the way to go! I chip in a whole fiver over at feddit.org each month, because that's easily worth it. You get what you pay for, after all.

What was the post, though?

Watching the next federal election will be interesting, to say the least.

It is and it's a great movie. Probably the best movie about ai.

Quite the opposite. Due to systemic corruption autocracies are economically highly inefficient with low productivity across the board with all kinds of long term effects this brings. And while it might look bad for democracies at the moment, I think many of the current crop of autocracies will be short lived. In the end, economy is where it's at, and autocracies are horrible at it.
