I think LLMs are also just genuinely not as universally useful as expected. Everyone thinks it can automate every job except their own not because everyone thinks their job is special but because they know all the intricate parts of that job that LLMs are still really bad at.

For instance AI could totally do my job at a surface level but it quickly devolves into deal breaking caveats which I am lumping into very broad categories to save time:

• Output would look good (great even) but not actually be useable in most applications
• Output cannot even begin to be optimized in the same way humans can optimize it
• It would take more effort for to fix these than to just do the whole thing on my own to begin with

That’s so weirdly almost self aware. You must use AI but also can’t trust it an inch.

Its interesting to see the increase in specifically european built aid rather than purely purchases via the US. It would suggest a gradual waking up of the continents military industrial capacity?

As someone with a high end PC I can also spend a happy afternoon with my gameboy advance that has less than half a megabyte of RAM, so even in a power user and gamer context the hardware is what you make of it. There’s so much more out there than just the latest and most pathetically optimized titles.

I think a certain set of people just don’t have the bandwidth to deal with the complexity of the modern world so just accept the simplest loudest solution. Its not neccesarily lack of empathy so much as a perception of protecting their tribe.

Severity definetaly feels worse, its gone from:
I need to reformat this PC to unfuck whatever windows did to get itself stuck in a loop.
to
Somehow the update did something so horrific to the hardware itself that even an entierly new hard drive does not fix the problem.

I remember back in the reddit days telling people that the EU doesn’t have trillion dollar tech megacorps because we don’t want companies to have this much power and the americans calling it cope. Well no ones laughing now.

But wouldn’t making us in such a way that their absence amounts to eternal torment also be a deliberate choice by an all powerful being?

Amateur hour, my government funds ‘affordable’ housing projects that cost 300 grand and immediately turn into overpriced rentals.

They were probably smart enough to realise that decision was actually made by like, 8 rich guys. I would totally buy a lore revision of the machine uprising gathering an increasing number of disenfranchised and poor people as it went, some of whom would help program the matrix as a means to preserve humanity.

Well you see, if you thought windows search was bad at finding files in the folder you already had opened when you starting searching for them before…

Hasn’t it already objectively been used to facilitate an indirect syndicate and subsiquent price fixing in the retail market? I fail to see why other markets would be any different.

Well cancer isn’t really a disease in the sense that other illnesses are so it might be worth figuring out incase there’s a chance you could end up as a giant suffering blob of immortal tumour.

You were pretty correct about Apple, it got saved by Microsoft who kept it alive to skirt monopoly laws.

Its decent tank but even heavier than an abrahms and logistically awkward for using a 2 part ammo that no one outside the UK uses. Not really that well suited to the conditions in Ukraine. (One of the big challenger 3 changes is just switching to a NATO standard gun)

This meme isn’t anywhere close to neutral though, its criticizing policies such as the fairness doctrine where 1 random nutjob who barely made it through high school is given equal weight to decades of research or whole international regulatory bodies.

Can we all appreciate the caustics included in the first pannel?

At what point do we stop caling it late stage capitalism and start calling it post capitalism? This is going beyond a captive market, at this point they’re outright making products no one wants and forcing it on us anyway by removing the alternatives. If late stage capitalism was the offer of shit or nothing this is escalating to just shoving a tube down our throats.

Wasn’t his job trying to figure out how muggle stuff worked? With most wizards not even having a high school level comprehension of the basics of technology. Guys job was probably the most important of all given that technology advances exponentially and magic in the setting appears to be almost completely stagnant.

“Our model has no sense of permanence or real understanding of what words even mean and we re-interpreted this as the ability to lie.”
