Or, more likely, LLMs and the AI phase will be a nothing burger for generations since our programming languages and technology cannot currently even model AGI. We made a mechanical Turk and got impressed with ourselves. Except that Turk will burn our planet to cinders to tell us 2+2=5 because of a Reddit shitpost.
Even my jackass friends with a light head start due to their parental fiances say this. No self-awareness.
Edit: clarity and spelling


Was this a Hershey plant? The specific process they use creates the same acid as in the stomach which makes people who didn’t grow up with the stuff gag.
I’ve been told by Euros their chocolate uses a different process.


The fact that my 4chan shitposts from 2012 are now causing havoc inside of an AI is not something I would have guessed happening but, holy shit, that is incredible.


You must consider that the AI “helping” the artist is built from the stolen work of countless artists. Regardless of use case, the tool only exists due to theft. Plus, this tool exists as a way to not pay talent for content.
Since the bread and circuses machine must keep dispensing to keep the masses anaesthetized, the elites need a way to cut the costs or they will lose points are their net worth scorecard and get made fun of by the other billionaires.
Not to mention, AI is a shortcut that does not generate skills besides prompt engineering. We have research proving this with students and the labor force losing reasoning and straight memory by handing off to “AI”. Part of being a musician is the effort and practice and knowing an instrument. Asking the clanker for a tune because learning takes too long or is too difficult goes along with what the article says for detecting it. The work will be emotionless and have no soul. Musicians are allowed to make choices for their music, of course. AI rounding out an artist’s tools is what it is. I view the tool as a corrupting force but, it’s their perogative. But people without no knowledge or skill for making music cranking out these generic sounding similacra to make money is always going to set my teeth on edge.
Edit: spelling and tense correction. Revision and expansion of idea to express less derision.


Does anyone remember when people could have a “voice” when writing? Pepperridge Farms remembers.
But seriously, are LLMs and garbage takes on Xitter messing with the ability to read anything not boiled down to an abysmally dull and bland style?


Maybe stop villanizing the disadvantaged folks in our society, and put that anger towards the people who have stolen so much from the majority that they put the disadvantaged in the position they are in.
I didn’t see the main post doing that in the slightest. The poster is asking what the impact will be.
Also, industry needs zero reason to hold prices or raise them. We are completely divorced from standard economics at this point. Edit: spelling


Thanks for being the lightning rod for the FUD spreaders.


Just based in the ballpark numbers from another on of these articles I saw today, it works out to like 40 some bucks a person. Just absolute garbage.


See? We could have technobabbled it into a new character on the show but here we are, arguing about this again lol


I never understood why they didn’t just use the transporter to recreate Tuvok and Neelix. You have their patterns on file when they last transported. Just leave him alive and duplicate those two and you get both scenarios. We have seen examples of duplicates throughout the show. I know this isn’t really the point, but it’s always felt needlessly contentious when the writers could have just done it.


Couldn’t ya just… Leave him there, after the caretaker episodes, in that bondyard where they found him? I know he’s annoying but like damn.
This was my experience. While I had nothing but time to learn Windows over the years, my time now is more limited. My Creative Sound Blaster sound card worked… Somewhat under Pop_OS!, but kept having issues. It got to the point that I opted for an external DAC and my issues cleared up.
While I want everything to “just work”, I knew my time is more valuable to me than figuring out why this particular hardware didn’t want to work, so I swapped it.
I remember the win9x days of looking shit up and figuring it out. Most people nowadays don’t have that skill or never had it and onboarded with computers that “just worked”. Side note in my opinion but, that’s the insidious nature of Big Tech. They make it so easy to use, you don’t care that they pick your pocket for every ounce of data. Linux, by its nature, is generally ok at most things but you are going to run into walls like the accelerometer mentioned above. Expectations need to be set and if you aren’t willing to know how to run your computer, it’s going to run you. I view this as no different than understanding the fundamentals of cars so you don’t get fleeced at the mechanic. But that’s just me. I want a certain level of competence in what I utilize on a daily basis.
I want people to switch. For people like me who have been power users for 20+ years, it’s as close to an easy hand off as is ever going to exist. Trying to convince my Normie friends? I’m still fighting that battle and all they do is Facebook, youtube and WoW.
I agree that setting expectations and having to adjust to the new norm should be part of the onboarding speech. “It just works” shouldn’t be uttered to anyone short of grandma for email and youtube on a computer you install the software on.

True. Always safer. I cringed when I heard Lorca use his name but now it makes sense given the plot of Discovery.
Lorca is from the mirror universe so he would laud the ketamine addled nightmare Elon turned into as a buffoon of evil


Let’s see if we are allowed to have midterms without Trump shutting them down first before we start banking on electoralism to save us.
I would have went with a JoJos meme but to each their own.


Atomizers can be easily made from nichrome wire. If you can’t get it direct, guitar strings can be a source of wire after burn off.
This is the kind of useful information I would expect from someone with handle like @[email protected].
But seriously, I cannot believe how much those prices are in Oz for cigarettes.
Not really. We just have to wait long enough for either enough disasters to occur that the crowd successfully rejects it; or the current crop of workers will be so unable to accomplish simple tasks without it, the rest of us will just move up the ladder past you. They’ll ask ChatGPT, “how to spreadsheet.”, because they just can’t remember since use of LLMs has been creating cognitive decline in users. Those of us who use our brains, rather than the stolen knowledge and hallucinated regurgitation of a blind database, will be the drivers in the work force.
