So sick of these kinds of posts. At this point it should be obvious that the blatant hypocrisy isn’t stupid or some clever “gotcha,” it’s the entire point. It’s a demonstration of impunity and contempt for fairness and logical consistency.

Relative to the speed shown in the visualizations. The pop-sci animations look like it takes one step every second or so, while in reality they do hundreds per second.

One of these days AI skeptics will grasp that spelling-based mistakes are an artifact of text tokenization, not some wild stupidity in the model. But today is not that day.

How is it more accurate? I thought that in reality the “steps” are incredibly fast, but that makes it seem like it’s a much slower and more uncertain process.

Not everywhere! This fucks over anybody who depends on ratings for job evals.

I’m wary of the hype over this gambit because it’s been tried several times in the recent past and has always ended with a few key legislators caving and returning to the capitol for no real concessions. Hopefully they realize that people are not in the mood for token resistance (and Abbott’s threats against them will steel their spines).

What are you talking about? Yang dropped out before the CA primary, and Harris dropped out the December before the first primary happened. She wasn’t even on the ballot.

At first I thought the quoted text was just him having ChatGPT write his tweets for him. But then I clicked through and saw the video of him actually speaking it to the camera. He was probably just reading it off a screen, but seeing a dead-eyed person earnestly parroting ChatGPTese like that was one of the creepiest things I’ve seen this year.

The blurb is still accurate – the homepage has no weather, no news, no sponsored links, etc. Google the company does advertising, but the search engine page itself is still really minimalist. I think a lot of people forget (or never knew) how incredibly cluttered and ugly search engines used to be:

What is this criticizing, exactly? The Google homepage is still incredibly spare.

Yeah, this post shows a tragic lack of familiarity with the concept of zoomies.

Beyond parody (for nearly a decade at this point).

They should try to be funny/creative/clever, for one thing, and either using an existing format or creating a new one. This is literally just pictures and direct quotes from the Founders. Like the sidebar here says, “Random pictures do not qualify as memes.”

This is not a meme.

It’s literally the name of the bill.

Apparently in many developing world cities with shaky property records it’s known for fraudsters to make fake real estate deals using buildings they don’t own, to the point that in Google Street View it’s common to see “this property is not for sale” or similar painted on house walls near the entrance. I’ve never seen it on a building this large though!

Fun fact: In French, ChatGPT sounds like chat, j’ai pété (“cat, I farted”)

I wonder if this would include on-screen notifications.

This isn’t even Facebook-meme tier, it’s email-forward-from-90s-AOL-account tier. C’mon.
