Comment crap ask it about the theory of evolution (Score 1) 227

and it tells you it's a conspiracy of darwinists. well you know maybe Jesus would use it. hasten the return of Jesus? I mean he's been sitting on his ass for like 2,000 years or whatever or maybe the preterists think that he oh he already came back or it already was fulfilled or whatever. how about reasonable evidence for expressed facts?

making it. they need a lot more zeros in their bank accounts. Man they're failing left and right. why don't they just arbitrarily say everyone in every department has to make 100% profits? I guess they're not really committed to maximizing revenue streams? I mean are they really committed to dynamic manipulative algorithmic driven capitalism? I have my doubts! obviously they need to stop doing more good things for the user and do a lot more bad things that make money in the short term.

shit like this. oh yeah I totally trust a bunch of smart dudes who think they're smart telling other people oh don't do this. I know it'll you know totally make you a whole shitload of money maybe but hey fon't do it! for a counterpoint a bunch of losers elected Trump to try to build their little quasi-religious utopia. we know how that goes All we have to do is look back in history. no, humans are going to crash into the wall full speed throttle held down and then later, "damn what happened?"

Comment These statements are very poorly written, at least (Score 2) 187

I didn't read the blog but many of assumptions here are not well thought out. "The Apple Calculator leaked 32GB of RAM." What does this mean exactly. If there was a story, I missed it. What's the actual story?? "We've normalized software catastrophes...." Our computers are a lot more powerful now and can take more problem with ease. I used to run 4MB of RAM on my windows 3.1box. So...? I'm not defending poor software quality, but we're not comparing apples and oranges as far as present and past computer resources. "AI just weaponized existing incompetence." This is a toss it in, make myself look clever BS statement. We don't know that. "Here's what engineering leaders don't want to acknowledge:" Which leaders? Who is he talking about? " but because nobody noticed the cumulative cost until users started complaining." Nobody. Really? Bullshit. There's all kinds of competency in computing... and all kinds of incompetency. No one noticed... Yeah, it hit us like a bolt from the blue, "hey! some of this software sucks!" Welcome to the world of the real. "We're living through the greatest software quality crisis in computing history. " This person, I don't know who he is, but he - sounds young and excitable. Like he doesn't know the past, maybe. "THIS crisis that I'M living through is the WORST!" Really. No it's not. When people are making bad software, it inspires others to attempt to improve it... Crisis? Shitty software? Microsoft used to routinely sell software ideas, the didn't even exist yet. This person would do well to calm down. He thinks this is a huge crisis. Really? A child starves to death in the world, about every 7 seconds. Do the math over time on that.... that's a crisis. Bad software? It's par for the course. Just look backwards a little.

Comment I'm so glad that humans are never delusional. (Score 1) 61

Oh no, AI makes mistakes! So do humans where 40000 people die in car wrecks every year. Check the - total deaths per driver mile with AI driving. That will set the stage for this, "AI is a loser mistake machine." How accurate are LLMs on average, compared to people. Also, who are these people who don't understand how AI works, so they automatically believe it? And it's AIs fault? Really?
