Technology

I appreciate the social permission for so many folks to switch to Linux. KDE has come a long way.

My sole use for AI has been troubleshooting computer issues. I will say that AI often does a better job than first line tech support when prompted correctly. That being said, I am a tech nerd who knows more than the average computer user that is not in the IT industry. There will always be a reason for human tech support tiers for people who cannot prompt AI correctly, but still need their stuff to work. I personally don't want AI invading my life any further.

Its a admission that it isn't doing anything useful.

He has my permission to stop.

when they asked permissions?

heres something useful, REMOVE AI from all your products, and undo windows10/11 changes.

"Microsoft CEO begs for us to use the software that he's been shoving down our throats for the last 10 years or so or else his corporation will lose money"

What does Capitalism™ say about "innovations" that can't deliver results? Filtering out crap that only works on some bullshit paper is the one thing capitalism is supposed to be good at.

Isn't it alleged that China goes for specific use cases and not general intelligence?

Maybe that's the way to go and not the gamble that the US and western companies are doing.

"We have to find a compelling use case so we can keep tragedying the commons!"

He could set an example by replacing himself with AI

CEOs aren't people. That's why they lobbied to have companies recognized as people. Stop giving them a stage.

Yeah, cause its totally not end-stage capitalism to invest a trillion dollars into something and THEN figure out what its for.

It’s getting more and more absurd.

“We can’t think of a good use for this parasite outside of our industry.”

It's like Facebook's squandering tens of billions of dollars on the Metaverse even though nobody asked for it or wants it. Ultimately they had to give up on it, and the same thing will happen here.

We're not replacing workers fast enough.

-This jackass, essentially.

Brother, AI has proven multiple times to make you stupider. It's not a cognitive amplifier.

Play with algorithms and datasets if you want, but make it efficient. We don't need thousands of data centers guzzling water and electricity and disturbing the peace just to generate wrong answers and slop. Work on the algorithms, don't just scale up the slop.
