Reddit us doomed as people realize the majority of content on Reddit is now AI generated. They are just trying to make a quick buck before they go belly up.

No, you can't feed user data into generative AI to generate ad copy for humans, because more and more of that "user data" will be generated by agentic AI in the first place. You're gonna get ad copy designed to appeal to obsequious sycophant bots if you do that!

The overwhelming majority of conversations on Reddit are now posted by AI specifically to generate good reviews. This system is doomed to fail as soon as people figure out it cannot be trusted.

Just using self driving cars to camp out in the best parking spots, then leave as soon as I get there? When my college decided to buy their own Taco Truck and put the guy everybody loved out of business by banning him from school property, students volunteered to park their car on city streets close to his old spot and move their car as soon as he got there, so he did a lot more business than the college-owned truck taking his old spot.

Yeah, that's why several people are currently suing Flock, because police never bothered to have a human review their license identification..

Wouldn't it make more sense to use an FPGA so the AI could reprogram to optimize whatever functionality best suits the current problem set? Data centers are spending billions on chips that are going to be boat anchors is a few years; they will never amortize that investment. I'm sure ASICs are cheaper, but you're permanently stuck with whatever mistakes you made in the design.

A half hour after you buy one, you're hungry for a new PC again...

I remember buying a 387 floating point processor to plug into my 386 board, using it to generate the sine tables I needed, then returning the 387 to Fry's... yeah, it seemed strange to me that they would take back a used chip, but they did.

"A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a versatile, multi-purpose parallel processor originally built for rendering 3D graphics, while a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) is a custom ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) designed by Google specifically to accelerate machine learning and tensor-based neural network workloads." Yeah, google just made that word up,.

I mean, those computer generated characters exist in the creepiest part of the uncanny valley!

I got your porta-potty headphones right here! Interesting that they have a gap in the middle for your douche sunglasses, that's a nice touch.

My dad bought me a state-of-the-art pair of $99 Sennheiser Open Air Headphones in 1970, and modified my 8-track boombox by adding a headphone jack, just so he wouldn't have to hear the "n-word bebop" rock music that I listened too. The open air design did provide really good high frequency sound, probably not so good for bass.

Musk did nazi his swasticar failing so badly. Personally, I think the Model Y will become an icon much like the Volkswagen Beetle (also invented my nazis), in that 50 years from now third parties will be selling lots of add-ons and parts to keep them running. A replacement battery pack that doesn't burst into flames would be a no-brainer when the original battery packs start failing. We just need to hit Tesla hard with right-to-repair laws!

My first hard drive was 30MB MFM drive, in a (at the time) state-of-the-art Intel 386 box. The 386 really was a huge improvement of the 286 segmented memory kluge. I still have the drive, but no way to connect it to a computer.
