Comment Global (Score 1) 78

We are a GLOBAL economy that is based on information. Call it Post Industrial. Information moves at the speed of light.

Pretending we Americans live in a giant castle surrounded by a huge Moat (aka Oceans) isn't going to protect us from what is happening elsewhere. Offshoring is going to kill our economy.

We have a dying generation who still sees the economy as post WWII, because that is the world we grew up in (Last of the boomers here).

We had better get used to it. Build things better, faster, cheaper.

Comment Hmm (Score 1) 53

There's little interest in thinking about what's going to happen when the LLM companies decide that they have plateaued, that there's no more money to burn/spend, and a bunch of them fold—but we've perturbed education to such an extent that our students can no longer function without their AI helpers.

Er, they'll switch to local LLMs maybe? Some adjustments of course but same basic idea.

(Also, I've heard this discussed plenty; there has been plenty of interest in this ... can't speak for the universities though, lol)

Comment I have to be honest (Score 1) 60

... I'm more concerned about how *astonishingly* fucking stupid Google as an organization must be that nobody along the way from dev to testing to implementation apparently considered this?

This isn't me writing some macro in Excel that doesn't work. This is Google. 50? 100? ...or even more people had to touch this before it went live on afaik the biggest browser in the world on what 3-5 BILLION machines?

How do you not see this for the obvious publicity stunt that it is? You must have voted Trump.

But it worked, you got enraged and engaged with the content.

Congratulations, you're the problem with the internet today.

Oh, and I am aware of the irony of posting a reply in order to condemn it, so you needn't bother pointing that out.

Comment Kinda disappointed (Score 1) 90

I am kind of disappointed in the wake of Steamboat Willie going PD ... I had hoped to see a lot of creative use of (granted, limited canon) Mickey.

Instead we get lame horror stuff, some token game appearances, and now ... an ad for lawyers?

I'm almost tempted to conspiracy theory about false flags here, lol

""When the chef said, 'Hey, Meta, start Live AI,' it started every single Ray-Ban Meta's Live AI in the building"

So anybody can control your Meta AI by speaking to it? Isn't that kinda a huge security issue?

I know, right?

I'm just some random guy, and that's literally the first design scenario that pops into my head. For requirements, not a demo.

Comment Re:I think the lesson to be learned here. (Score 1) 58

is that unfettered capitalism does not work, it needs oversight from a Democracy. We need to check these Oligarchs who spends precious resources on bull shit. For example, Zuck, who spent Billions on VR, why did we as a Democracy allow that? We could have spent it on food, or health care.

You ... aren't serious, right?

You used some sort of left-wing gibberish generator; please tell me that you did?
