You’re moving the goalposts. You said you need nuance in how to measure a shirt size, you’re arguing just to argue.

If a model ever starts answering these curiosities inaccurately, it would be an insufficient model for that task and wouldn’t be used for it. You would immediately notice this is a bad model when it tells you to measure your neck to get a sleeve length.

Am I making sense? If the model starts giving people bad answers, people will notice when reality hits them in the face.

So I’m making the assertion that many models today are already sufficient for accurately answering daily curiosities about modern life.

Oh for sure, I’m just saying they don’t even need to hit any targets and they’d still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can’t fight Iran without US.

Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump’s main priorities, hopefully they don’t succeed in changing his calculus on it.

And they aren’t able to and won’t be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we’ve already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren’t really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.

Let me know when we get one. In the meantime, enjoy your thick, glue riddled, pizza sauce

What? That’s just stupid, like I’m not remotely claiming they are intelligent, but to dismiss their utility completely is just idiotic. How long do you think the plug your ears strategy will work for?

Pick any model that has come out this year and ask if my example query or any similar daily curiosity you would Google, and show me how it gives you “thick, glue riddled, pizza sauce”. Show me a single gpt 3.5 comparable model that can’t answer that query with sufficient accuracy.

if AI is answering, yes.

You’re being obtuse. You don’t need nuance in trying to figure out what size collar you should buy.

Yeah, why not? I’ll go ahead and make that suggestion.

What? Do you understand what I’m asking? Do you understand what you’re suggesting?

I mean, the terminal allows them to ctrl-c, ctrl-v a simple solution developed by someone else, even if that someone else didn’t bother to build out a GUI for applying their changes.

So googling how to do someone, copy/pasting command is better than finding it in GUI? How high are you?

The convoluted steps they would have to take to achieve the same effect with a GUI would seriously hinder the GUI-only user.

Again a solved problem, just make a decent GUI for your application.

Are you suggesting users with no programming experience can simply add the flags they need to a terminal application but would be unable to do the same with a GUI because the GUI is the barrier? Not the logic and that the program will do with the flag, but the GUI is the barrier?

What are you saying?

The last thing I googled is how to measure dress shirt size. Do you need context and nuance for everything you Google?

Do you prefer to click on the seo optimized first page results that are full of ads and read through a nonsense article about elegance in formal wear just to get to the instructions on where to place the measuring tape on your shoulder? I MUCH prefer the AI summarized response.

Most of the Internet is NOT intellectual writing, it’s blog spam to answer your daily curiosities and practical needs. A sufficienty trained model is a really good (and environmentally friendly) alternative.

They won’t, and I’m saying Google knows that their Advertising cash cow is running out of milk.

Different types of AI, different training data, different expectations and outcomes. Generative AI is but one use case.

It’s already been proven a useful tool in research, when directed and used correctly by an expert. It’s a tool, to give to scientists to assist them, not replace them.

If you’re goal to use AI to replace people, you’ve got a bad surprise coming.

If you’re not equipping your people with the skills and tools of AI, your people will become obsolete in short time.

Learn AI and how to utilize it as a tool, you can train your own model on your own private data and locally interrogate the model to do unique analysis typically not possible in realtime. Learn the goods and bads of technology and let your ethics guide how you use it, but stop dismissing revolutionary technology because the earlier generative models weren’t reinforced enough get fingers right.

If only there was a give movement of Democrat voters telling you loudly WE WON’T VOTE FOR HARRIS…

You guys usually love to blame us for Trump, even though we promised you he would win if you didn’t give us an electable candidate, but hey if you now want to change stories again to follow whatever dem narrative is being spun today, then yeah her winning NY so bigly is obviously evidence of a stolen election…

Or she wasn’t electable. No no no, it’s everyone else’s fault.

Ad supported articles is a dead industry, Google realizes this better than anyone. People don’t go to the source anymore to answer curiosities, why would you read a whole article to answer a simple question when AI gives you the answer directly?

That assumes the programmer bothered to make user friendly flags… The terminal doesn’t magically just work.

It’s not really begging for censorship, it’s begging for healthier consumption.

The issue is entirely one of parenting IMO. I’ve seen what’s on YouTube kids and my kids aren’t allowed to watch anything on YouTube without my supervision.

Gross sexual stuff, violence, and cruelty is being pushed to your children as fun with flashy colors and silly sounds. Go watch YouTube kids for a while, click on the random kids channels not the corporate ones.

We’re not talking about sex education and more mature topics, these shoes are promoting sexual violence, violence, bullying, and it’s all being pushed in a fun way.

It’s a parenting problem, and the parents need to be educated on it. They don’t see the problem, kids have their own phones, and Google doesn’t give a fuck they will push the must engaging most addicting most disturbing content to your kids to keep them watching.

That’s a bad take. Learning the bad habit of copy/pasting command and depending on the Internet to do the most basic changes to your computer is not a “feature” of the terminal. I can Google how to navigate Windows control center too.

Setting search is a solved problem, you simply search for the setting name in the UI, it’s way easier than navigating terminal flags and switches.

It is. It’s just… how do you know you’re actually talking to the fingerprint sensor and not a fake one that’s been plugged in?

Think of it like a locked mailbox: the fingerprint sensor might securely match the fingerprint and only unlock if it’s correct—but if anyone can swap out the mailbox with their own lookalike, and the OS just blindly accepts the “unlocked” signal, the whole security model breaks. Without an attestation mechanism (like SDCP on Windows or secure enclave-backed verification), the OS can’t prove it’s getting input from trusted hardware. Match-on-chip helps, but it’s not enough unless the result is cryptographically signed by the sensor and validated by the OS through a trusted, authenticated channel.

That’s the gap in Linux: there’s no widely adopted standard for verifying that trust path end-to-end.

Now read some books and see how much Bill Clinton is directly to blame for most awful shit we’re dealing with today, and while you shouldn’t come to justify 9-11, you’ll understand its motivation correctly.

Bill Clinton and neo-libs like him is why we go right instead of left as a society.

Sure. And you’re entitled to yours. But words have meaning and this isn’t MY OPINION, it’s objective reality. It follows strict rules for predictable output, it is not nonsensical.

You’re entitled to think it’s nonsense, and you’d be wrong. You don’t have to like implicit type coercion, but it’s popular and in many languages for good reason…

I think JavaScript is filthy, I’m at home with C#, but I understand and don’t fear ITC.

It’s not nonsensical, implicit type coercion is a feature of JavaScript, it’s perfectly logical and predictable.

JavaScript is a filthy beast, it’s not the right tool for every job, but it’s not nonsensical.

When you follow a string with a +, it concatenates it with the next value (converted to string if needed). This makes sense, and it’s a very standard convention in most languages.

Applying arithmetic to a string would be nonsensical, which they don’t do.

If this were a trolley problem, you’ve elected to kill five people instead of one

Correct. The problem is that you’re not hearing the setup, or you don’t care, which solidifies my decision.

The trolley was coming to kill a million of our children. There were two other tracks, one was empty, and one just took an extra loop to hit you first.

And you monsters simply pulled the brakes off and ripped the third completely empty track off so the trolley had no chance of missing anyone. So I made sure it takes you too.

There’s no moral high ground, I said we collectively deserve it, I accept my punishment for living in and supporting the genocidal empire. You deserve it for your apathy.

Either way, at least when the US empire collapses when Trump is done with it, it’ll stop genociding nations and getting stupid responses like yours.

Willingly. We collectively deserve it.

You’re disgusting, you’re okay with genocide as long as you get your comforts. We protested evil then, and we protest evil now. You only protest inconvenience.
