Growing up in the 80s reruns were every Saturday on the local PBS station competing with cartoons on the other channels.

If you ask the Daleks what they think of AI, they have one word: Exterminate!

Sarcasm sure, but I wonder if they figured this out on their own or if they used AI and spent an hour figuring out how it hid the negative.

estimating 3.6 hours saved but 3 hours and 50. Converted that is 3.6 and ~3.83, so regular people see a savings of about -0.23 yes that is a minus sign.

As much as many like to complain about walled gardens, Slashdot is now such a thing.

Digg's failed return has really proven the point that the internet has become more automated noise and less human. Any valuable original human content is quickly copied, multiplied, and drowned out by an army of bots.

Fire sales on server equipment that almost no one can use in their home computer. Even the bubble pop will be as useless then as it is now.

Isn't this a very linear process, one core should be plenty for the calculation itself? Or a better question why is and how is a parallel process even needed other than for storing the results to disk?

They are pushing the NEO because it's single core performance will make the Retool Advertisement Banner glisten smoother - it is pegging one of my cores as I type this - wtf is that about?

Retool please make it a static image if we have to endure it on every page, it is wasting MYelectricity. Oh wait they are pushing AI so that's par for the course.

Let's start with all the airplanes buzzing around like their use of oil has no consequences. Longer flights could instead heat entire neighborhoods for an entire winter with the amount of fuel they consume.

And not some map littered with retail stores or places of interest unless I turn that crap on. Also I want the map to be most of the screen and not shrunk in every direction as more advertisements and useless 'hi look at this place' crap that I never asked for.

While I am at it, will it suck down battery faster with the new AI motivated curated navigation that I also didn't ask for?

The problem is things are already too complicated - throwing AI at computer systems does not fix the fact that basic computers are already overly complex and prone to fail for what they purport to accomplish.

Computers were supposed to be able to do/replace the jobs of hundreds of data entry personel. On the face of it they can do that, until you look close and that computer needs almost as many IT people to just install the hardware, set up the software, keep it working, and fix all the new problems it creates, again and again.

This active tab in the browser is using one core to 100% - if I use a blocker to remove that element all those wasting electrons are gone. FIX IT.

Exactly 2048 ballots itself seems odd to get to an exact number that is very significant in the computing world.

I actually know how to shop and don't need a bot. Most of the time it's just 'window shopping' so I don't care to filter through the mess.

But if I need something 'now' I can find what I want even through the crap results. I can see how someone that doesn't want to learn to shop in the first place could be helped by some form of bot, to a point.

Just like bots, the retailers hate my type of shopping as I actually consider every purchase and don't fall for end-cap type displays, special limited time deals, or fake price drops.

As a shopper waiting for 'my price' to arrive, bots suck as they snipe the deals causing it to sell out before normal human shoppers even know it's on sale. Most of those bot buys are usually flipped on Ebay making it just plain stupid.

Isn't that hoarding? Here in the US at least for basic necessities like food, hoarding such as this is outright illegal. I guess I'm saying there ought to be a law...

Clearly the future sucks.

Quietly having the energy companies pass the buck onto us plebs is over, we are on to your scam. And OpenAI doesn't want to pay for it either.
