Comment Gas-Powered AI (Score 1) 108

What kind of Captain Planet villain makes a gas powered AI? Sam Altman's gonna be standing out in the yard yanking on the crank start for the generators. Your lawnmower is going to tell you your code sucks. The forklift is going to crack wise at you about your weight. We're all trapped in a continuum of cartoon fools, no... that silly rabbit or that crazy duck... ... ... ...

Comment That Demo's A Joke (Score 2) 91

I've been following Boston Dynamics' YouTube for years now so as to know what we're going to be up against, so I already saw that video we're calling a "Demo of Spot's new capabilities." Half of it is the machine interacting with a mortal dog in an extremely staged and handler with biscuits off screen way, and the other half is all cut so there's no way to tell what, if any, "embodied AI" capabilities are on display. What a joke. At least it wasn't straight up genAI video this time.

Comment What Kind of a Name is Pre-Retogeum (Score 1) 51

Search engines will tell me all about what Pre-Retogeum is trading for, but they won't tell me why the hell it's called Pre-Retogeum. They won't tell me who made it up, where its logo comes from, why it should be Pre-Retogeum and not just Retogeum, anything. Wikipedia doesn't have any information about it at all, and I'll be damned if I ask an LLM about it. And frankly, I don't care.

Comment Hell Yeah (Score 1) 165

Honestly EVs are like the least awful part of this shitty ass future. Even if they're all cell phoney inside and I've yet to find one I'd ever want to own, let alone live in (which, let's face it, we're all a couple bad weeks from that). At least they don't fucking stink and reek and smell god awful all the god damn time for me walking around outside them! "Oh they could catch on fire" internal combustion engines are fire the whole entire time! "Are you reeeealllly seeingadifference in aiiiir quality??? Howmanypeople even aaaare there with EVs around you?" shitloads, I moved somewhere that's not ASS

Comment Yes People Are Using AI Apps... (Score 1) 50

But we're all a little worried about 'em. The rest of us, who aren't using the AI apps. Sometimes we're also kind of annoyed, 'cause like, it really seems like some of them have figured out how to get it to kinda take their side about whatever. And it seems to be confidently wrong about a lot of things. It seems to talk as if it knows things that it couldn't possibly know, without providing any specific details. And it seems to really insist that it's incredibly useful, like it's sort of trying to sell itself to you. I'm worried that what they've really made is software that sells itself, on a subscription basis, and isn't always right the way we've come to expect the output of our computers to be. And I'm worried that might be sort of a poison pill for the corporate executive community and. Well, I'm worried.

Comment A Quick Hackish Fix (Score 1) 38

We should just write a script in government language or whatever that makes it so whenever someone's born, they go through this Matthew McConaughey process and have their likeness submitted to the trademark system. Or, maybe when they turn like 5 or something, or there'll be way too many lawsuits about too-similar babies. And probably make it re-run every few years too so we don't have to keep acting like 5 year olds. Although people tend already do that on their own so that might be fine

Comment Micro HDMI (Score 1) 70

I HATE, HATE, HATE micro HDMI!!! Those damn things are so fragile, and in practical fact they're as rare as hen's teeth! Why the fat blue devil can't they just put NORMAL HDMI on these things??? You know, heaven's most perfect defacto consumer standard for connecting audio and video to things? The absolute shark-icthyosaur-dolphin bauplan of A/V connectors? They must make a killing on those little micro HDMI to HDMI pigtails, is what it is. And I wouldn't care, but otherwise this is actually getting into the territory of "the most computer you really need if you're not playing video games," like this is actually getting into the realm of "recommend it for ojiisan and abuela over Windows 11" if not for that damn itty bitty little tiny fiddly little connector.
