Yeah, people are fucking stupid. I empirically proved they’d never get a lower price, but they passed because they thought the capitalism knew more than me.
Guess what? Those fuckers didn’t get to deep fry a turkey because they’re stupid. Which I guess is a net positive for turkeys
Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean it’s not rude. Put your digital crack down for an hour or go to rehab.
That’s one of the things I love about Tool/APC/Lucifer concerts. If you have your phone out, you’ll get kicked the fuck out.
Bro, literally all I said was that the training dataset was the same.
I’m well aware of how generative AI works. I’m an industry professional who attended the very first AI/ML training course by a major cloud provider back in 2023 and was instrumental in changing the way they operated the AI side of the house.
But the parallels are there. Neural networks are designed based on the human brain, and vector driven databases aren’t super dissimilar to how neurons interact. A ton of human memory and processing is based on referential data, like gen AI.
Yes, it might not be able to approximate human intelligence and the actual workings of the brain yet, but it’s on its way.
People tend to forget how computers used to take up entire floors of office buildings and a simple hard drive was the size of an industrial washing machine. Gen AI is in its infancy, and while its current state is highly inefficient and flawed, that’s all the reason for it to improve.
Is current gen AI a solution for anything? Absolutely not. Is it a stepping stone towards true artificial intelligence? Absolutely.
I swear, Lemmy users would have been the people complaining that Excel and Word would be the downfall of society. There are absolutely legitimate complaints about the technology, but to completely dismiss it without looking at the nuances of the situation is assanine.
The truth is that it’s entirely possible for a business to ethically use an LLM. I know this for a fact because I was intimately involved in the implementation of one. The entire thing was trained on our proprietary dataset that had been built over 40 years of industry experience, on our servers which were powered by green energy.
I’d call it fraud myself. But retailers have been doing this shit for forever. But the thing is that people love this shit.
JCPenny almost went under when they stopped deceptive pricing tactics like 20 years ago and just offered a really low price.
Shit, I worked at a major sports and outdoors retailer and we had tags that said “Everyday Low Price.” Items tagged with that would never go on sale because they were loss leaders (just barely above wholesale to get people to buy overpriced accessories).
I had customers with the items in their cart ask me if it was on sale, I told them it was the lowest price they were going to find and even price checked other retailers whose sale price was higher than ours, and they put it back every time.
People are really fucking stupid.
He’s one of the few congressmen that’s actually trying to rally people to get involved to fight back against this.
He’s pretty limited on what he can do being basically the only progressive in the government.
Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.
I see you subscribe to the Amazon sales policy.
There is a method similar to a sheep shank knot that is super useful for very long cables, and you can use the over/under method for making the required loops.
Which is ridiculous because those people paid into the safety net when they had jobs. I was on unemployment for about 7 months and I didn’t feel the least bit guilty because I had been paying into it for 20 years. Well, technically my employers paid it, but they paid it with the results of my labor.
Although I did work a temp job doing physical labor during that, but it was mostly an effort to get a full time position in my career at that employer (it worked). Plus it helped with the depression from sending out hundreds of applications without getting a single interview.
Didn’t they just start shipping grid size salt batteries too?
Not to mention the fact that it takes on average 18 months to hire someone.
I’m honestly surprised Trump hasn’t broken out the “take the guns now and figure out due process later,” stuff yet.
Going for the balls and throat is always a good self defense option.
But honestly, unless you’re training very regularly, the training in those classes will be forgotten once the adrenaline kicks in. For most people it needs to be committed to muscle memory to use in a panic situation.
Exactly. 99.9999% of consumers don’t give a fuck as long as they can still access Facebook and TikTok.
What are you talking about? Art is available on the Internet without paying to view it. The same art that the AI models train on.
It really depends. You just have to have the right boss and know when to work hard and when to coast.
For instance, for me hard work meant I was progressively promoted from a customer service agent to senior IT engineer within 5 years. But after that my upward mobility was capped, so I just coasted.
That’s why I think it’s funny that people hate on AI generated art for using copyrighted artwork for training.
It’s the exact same thing a human would do to learn how to do art.
Why would Ted Cruz say ‘stop attacking Democrats’?
Because it’s a general discussion, not a research paper. Do you typically get requests to cite your sources in real life?
It’s not pointless. I make a claim and you’re free to refute it. I’ve already done the research to make myself a secondary source, so you either believe me or your provide a conflicting source.
It speaks to this generation’s willingness to accept information presented to them as fact.
Those people are stupid and you shouldn’t trust a god damn thing anyone on the Internet says as gospel.
I actually witnessed the perfect exchange today. Someone made a claim. Someone else said, “Hey, this source I found suggests you’re wrong.”
The original commenter said, “here’s my source that contradicts that.”
They both Agreed on a middle ground and moved on
This is my method. If I sat something you disagree with, call me on it with a source to refute me.
Don’t ask me to type 4 words into Google for you. If your request for information can be completed with one hand, go fuck yourself. This is literally the point of “do your own research.”
I wouldn’t trust one God damn source you put in front of me. I’m going to research the antithesis to your statement just for a chance to prove you wrong.
I’d never trust you to provide me any evidence at all
