Actually, Apple did deliver that capability but developers pushed-back and didn't want it.
Right. It was a fuckup. And moreover, it was anti-developer and anti-consumer. Yet we're supposed to worship His Holy Turtleneck and address our ills with juice fasts in His name.
Thanks for admitting that you're shit.
Sure, they had to sell their stock, including the parts needed to make the machines. At that time they were also still at least assembling them.
It's different from humans in that human opinions, expertise and intelligence are rooted in their experience. Good or bad, and inconsistent as it is, it is far, far more stable than AI. If you've ever tried to work at a long running task with generative AI, the crash in performance as the context rots is very, very noticeable, and it's intrinsic to the technology. Work with a human long enough, and you will see the faults in his reasoning, sure, but it's just as good or bad as it was at the beginning.
The Mac IIci was on the market for over 3 years before it got replaced. You never see that kind of longevity anymore.
IIci September 1989, Quadra 700 October 1991, in almost the same case. Two years, one month.
This statement was cute, even funny, the first few times that it was used. That was because it was such an absurd way of making that point.
That statement was stupid, even absurd the first times that it was used — by the Reich wing. The entire reason I'm still using it when speaking to them is to rub their noses in how fucking stupid it was.
But, after this statement has been repeated so many times, it's just fucking stupid now.
You're two steps behind me as usual, but at least you're getting there.
You should consider abandoning it before people start thinking that you are stupid.
Insert Travolta looking around meme here. This is me, looking for fucks.
If the airlines are acting as a de facto division of the government by providing them with your personal data, then they should be treated as such. That means they should follow simple rules for protecting PII like collecting and retaining the minimum needed.
Steve Jobs would not release a product until it actually did what they claimed it would do.
You mean like when he claimed the iPhone would be all webapps?
Let's face it, Jobs' only superpower was being a super dick to employees. This can only take you so far.
rsilvergun has been screaming even louder about how AI as we have it now it's already the end of the world, and that society isn't "ready" for it until he says it is.
Since he's living rent-free in your head, can we assume you're the one responsible for the rsilvergun-impersonating LLM spam?
Correct. This is why I don't like the term "hallucinate". AIs don't experience hallucinations, because they don't experience anything. The problem they have would more correctly be called, in psychology terms "confabulation" -- they patch up holes in their knowledge by making up plausible sounding facts.
I have experimented with AI assistance for certain tasks, and find that generative AI absolutely passes the Turing test for short sessions -- if anything it's too good; too fast; too well-informed. But the longer the session goes, the more the illusion of intelligence evaporates.
This is because under the hood, what AI is doing is a bunch of linear algebra. The "model" is a set of matrices, and the "context" is a set of vectors representing your session up to the current point, augmented during each prompt response by results from Internet searches. The problem is, the "context" takes up lots of expensive high performance video RAM, and every user only gets so much of that. When you run out of space for your context, the older stuff drops out of the context. This is why credibility drops the longer a session runs. You start with a nice empty context, and you bring in some internet search results and run them through the model and it all makes sense. When you start throwing out parts of the context, the context turns into inconsistent mush.
Wait until you find out about American car companies
There's apparently only one large American supermarket chain that DOESN'T take credit cards, WinCo.
I do most of my shopping there, at Grocery Outlet, and at Costco. I actually do more shopping at grossout, because they are the closest thing that doesn't suck. We have a local market and mini-market, and I'm not a big fan of either one. (The market is somewhere around "OK", the mini market is disappointing.) I got Costco's card honestly just to get fuel quicker as the card is a membership card, and it's convenient for me to stop in there on my way to work.
Winco is an employee-owned co-op, and their pricing seems to be dynamic in general and the prices actually go back down, so I'm really happy with them. Grocery Outlet has beer I want to drink and high quality local dairy products, and an interesting and ever-changing stock of weird shit, and neither of the local ones are scuzzy. I have a chest freezer...
Just remember next time you hear about unemployment going up while you eat your burger that you're not getting food poisoning because of regulations and that it has nothing to do with jobs.
Of course it does. It doesn't have to do with just one thing. Keeping the machine spinning is the reason why even heartless fucks should be interested in workers' needs being met, if they weren't idiots. But that's the problem with such people, if you're smart then you realize that you don't want to live in a world of shit.
Just because there are people available to work that doesn't mean they will be hired. And they won't be hired because of AI.
If the GOP continues to run the government the old people won't be a problem either because they will die when they lose health coverage.
Creating icons in the game is part of creating the game. You just said it wasn't used for that and then said it was used for that.
Single tasking: Just Say No.
