  • Well democracy, we had a good run buddy, I'm off to find a nice quiet corner of the earth where I can live out the rest of my days and my family can prosper a little ways until the nuclear winter falls

  • If Trump had his wits about him and he definitely does not, his retort would be to lie about the things that he did manage to do. He would just claim that immigration was the best it had ever been and he took care of it while he was in office and it's just slinked back since.

    It's a fantastic dig from Obama unfortunately it's only going to be received well by Trump's opponents. His base is already under the impression that he did a good job.

  • Yeah, if we start introducing algorithms here it will lose any advantage.

  • We need to stop viewing it as artificial intelligence. The parts that are worth money are just more advanced versions of machine learning.

    Being able to assimilate a few dozen textbooks and pass a bar exam is a neat parlor trick, but it is still just a parlor trick.

    Unfortunately probably the biggest thing to come out of it will be the marketing aspect. If they spend enough money to train small models on our wants and likes it will give them tremendous amounts of return.

    The key to using it in a financially successful manner is finding problems that fit the bill. Training costs are fairly high, quality content generation is also rather expensive. There are sticky problems around training it from non-free data. Whatever you're going to use it for either needs to have a significant enough advantage to make the cost of training /data worth it.

    I still think we're eventually going to see education rise. The existing tools for small content generation adobe's use of it to fill in small areas is leaps and bounds better than the old content aware patches. We've been using it for ages for speech recognition and speech generation. From there it's relatively good at helper roles. Minor application development, copy editing, maybe some VFX generation eventually. Things where you still need a talented individual to oversee it but it can help lessen the workload.

    There are lots of places where it's being used where I think it's a particularly poor fit. AI help desk chatbots, IVR scenarios, It says brain dead as the original phone trees and flow charts that we've been following for decades.

  • Now, if you told your employees that half of them would be let go if I didn't make it into office...

  • If your manager doesn't kick them out of the store, you have to make sure that burger comes out all kinds of wrong multiple times so they never come back.

  • I don't know, it nearly put the onion under. Every single one of us has an idea of what was said during that caption at the top of this article. Unless they come up with something truly groundbreakingly funny it's just going to be boring crap we already thought up.

  • I mean, that kind of sounds like the kind of person I would have met at my first fast food job 30 years ago. He would have been a prime candidate to be a chicken cook.

  • This is true, but at the same time, your posts on let me don't get buried as easily. And the karma hear truly doesn't matter.

    It's mildly frustrating that you can't post anything that's even remotely close to positive about any use of AI, or any positive information whatsoever about Tesla over SpaceX without being said that you're sucking musks cock. But in those respects the only thing different between Lemmy and Reddit is the number of people that will come to your defense, and of course in Reddit if no one comes to your defense your post is basically buried.

    You're all so far less likely to have a reasonable post here removed. Yes it still happens, yes a few of the communities are still moderated by biased enough individuals to delete your content but it's much less prevalent than it was at reddit.

    That said, yeah if you are mostly conservative you are going to have a very bad time trying to soapbox here

  • I agree, and the school should have been ready for that. There is no way they didn't know this was going on.

  • I think I would trust White House staff before I would trust McDonald's staff. I'm sure whatever McDonald's they were ordering from was having their employees vetted anyway.

    To think of it if a person was really into McDonald's that deeply they could just send fresh ingredients every week.

  • It and I appear to have the same thing wrong with us. I'm not working on it.

  • Easily. I could also simply deny it access to the internet. But sometimes you need to look out for more than just your own.

  • 2 months from now: so-and-so government official says we need to investigate the people investigating Musk. He also put out a crowdsource call to find a bank that could cash a billion-dollar check.

  • Lol, That's why I self-host so much crap. The only way I can give it to everybody is to make it a web app, or maintain three separate sets of clients.

  • I've worked for big companies before that opened up shell companies in tax havens like Dublin. They literally just moved the payments to there. When they floated it to us, they said hey, we're just not going to owe taxes anymore. We'll save billions.

    We all looked as each other and said Jesus that sounds illegal. And yet there it was and it passed muster and they went public and IPO and everything

  • And if it's a Dell, set disk access from raid to AHCI.

    I literally had to do this 2 days ago.

  • I'm kind of apprehensive to open up a really small projects on my home network to the outside world. Kudos for maintaining unraid as a platform though.

    I might consider running it at my house but my wife is Mac I'm Linux it would only help my kids.

    Could It handle mod packages for Java Minecraft or something?

  • What's next They'll claim *they're striking the marketing department and go after the US protesters?

    Edit: a couple words
