The true use of AI starts to show. Given the ease of searching over the old keyword engines like Google, Bing... le Chat j'pete will now use personalised language to gently steer the enthralled public directly towards a predefined merchant. The ultimate salesman.

My first job used NCR's CRAM, which were long magnetic cards with 8 hooks on one end. Each card was record-sized.

CRAM Cards were threaded onto a series of snail-cam shaped rods. When a record needed to be obtained the 8 rods holding all the cards would turn to match the binary address of the card, and release the exact card required, which fell into a hopper and was read, then put back in the random stack.

Two AIs walk into a bar. First one says "I applied for 500 jobs today". The second one replies "That's nothing -- I created 500 jobs today" They both toast to their fictional employment histories as the human recruiter in the corner weeps, sorting through thousands of perfect resumes for positions that were never real.

They should start quickly, but there will be a substantial ramp up in the number of CVEs that are caused by LLM code generation and lazy, untrained developers not looking at what is output. There will be vast style inconsistency, there will be logic failure bugs, and even the >0 chance of potentially adversarial trojan horse code. Logically, when it comes time to debug, the first human who really look s at the code will have problems far greater than someone working on untouched COBOL code from 1980.

Indeed, it was my thought too. "impairs verbal processing, attention, working memory and self-regulation." Is a description of ADHD that any diagnosed sufferer would know. And as DA is a limited resource, when the normies burn it all up getting their 'someone-hearted-me' buzz while infinitely scrolling Xitter, TikTok, they experience depletion too.

Yes, you can turn on OpenAI's 'chat je pete' mode. Thing is for some more interesting (engaging) results you would get a rude refusal... banned... or some teenage boy jailbreaking a girlfriend from their watch/phone/ipad/mac. Assuming you can even trust OpenAI to keep such personal info private.

Is there actually a CVE, or is this just an advertisement for a nothing-burger?

There has just been an election in that state, with the premiership changing over. Political points are scored at this point.

I've had only one death threat from an AI chatbot. But a lot of Apple Intelligence next few word predictions can be quite worrying as one is braindumping in notes.

Still waiting on the stuff from the teaser back in the Scarlett days. Even with different voices, all those 'few weeks' promises never arrived. meaning Altman et al are just staging mendacious and faked demos. Companies that lie like this to milk investors for funding on a product they will never deliver shouldn't be trusted.

Just a "few more weeks" like the user customisable voice-emotions OpenAI promised pro users a few months ago eh? What I am starting to see is this company are huge on promises and staged tech demos, but quite lacking on promise delivery.

Adding facebook.com into one's hosts file, to blackhole it to localhost works better.

Bit of cold war mentality is all. USA spies on Russia, Russia launch a satellite hunter into a matching orbit, US launch one to trail the Russians, Russians launch a new one. Something something Cuba.

Ah that explains the weirdness with duck-duck-go. Every search during that same period was failing.

Hey gmail, Reply saying "I want to volunteer for the parent's group event,"

To: Parent's Group

From: Sharon

I will volunteer for the parent's group event, i have a lovely bunch of coconuts in my hovercraft and the sky is blue due to Raleigh scattering. I am sorry as an AI I can't do that. Please let me know if you need more help.
