Comment How do you train the AI (Score 0) 22

When Stack Overflow goes down?

I've tried a few of these and I can tell you that the code they generate comes almost exclusively from stack overflow posts. I know because the code usually doesn't work unless it's algorithm code like you're asking it to generate a binary tree implementation or something.

So I end up looking for working code and that gets me to stack overflow every time. I know that the generic documentation for the apis does not work for current llms. They can't really make sense of reference documentation as far as I can tell they can just summarize it.

I'm not so naive that I believe that there isn't a plan for this but I wonder what it is. I wonder if for example that since most companies are owned by the same handful of billionaire shareholders if they will just all start sharing code together.

Somebody is training there chatbot using my comments and they're trying to get you to engage with them so that they can further train their chatbot.

Most of the comment above isn't anything I actually said because the chat bot has gotten to the point where it can embellish instead of just copying my old comments like it used to several months ago.

I'm not sure if this is a hobbyist or if people are just getting desperate for content to train chatbots on

Comment He is the absolute dictator of America (Score 1) 56

It's kind of hard not to bring him up in every conversation because he dominates every aspect of our lives. Didn't have to be that way but you're terrified of trans people and you want to say the n word in public without losing your job so it is what it is.

I'm not sure why you traded everything you own for those two things but you did and I have to suffer with your decision because there's way more of you morons than there are of me

Comment There is no solution (Score 2) 56

Any viable solution you will not allow because it's not compatible with the worldview you developed when you were 12. You will not allow any changes to that.

So our civilization is going to descend into horrifying techno feudalism right up until we hand the nuclear launch codes to theocratic lunatics.

Then somebody who is convinced there is a golden dome protecting them is going to do a launch and the species ends.

It's also possible that the nukes won't work because idiots are maintaining them and we just spend the next 10,000 years with horrifying oligarchy and 99% of the population living in the kind of poverty you see in TV ads with starving African children

Any other option or solution was taken off the table by you and your childish obsession with keeping things exactly the way they were when you were 12 and your parents were protecting you from The real world.

I'm just screaming into the void because I didn't die before the damage you've been doing for 50 years hit. You're going to be homeless though. The billionaires will take your home so they can be trillionaires. They don't even care about it they just want to put the zeros in their bank account. But the only way they can do that is take everything from you and me.

Comment Billionaires killed it (Score 5, Insightful) 60

Billionaires buying it up and turn them into propaganda rags for the right wing pro corporate policies did it.

There is absolutely no useful information in a newspaper anymore. Since 2016 they have absolutely killed what little was left of journalism. You get a small amount of factual information from the associate press and other than that any actual useful reporting has to come from overseas or occasionally from independent journalism.

And every time one of those independent journalists breaks out and starts to build a platform the billionaires come in and do one of two things. If they can they buy it and turn it more propaganda slop.

And if they can't buy it they do what they did to Gawker where they sue it into oblivion. Most journalism has to pay the bills with a bit of muckraking and celebrity gossip and it's easy to use that to shut everything down.

There was actually a ton of independent journalism going on over on twitter... Until Elon bought it and turned it into more right-wing propaganda slop.

I am not going to pay somebody money to have them sell me down the river for a handful of billionaires and mega corporations and no matter how stupid Americans are they aren't going to go for that either.

Because the scalpers aren't really making any money on the switch 2. The console is selling out but it's not like with the Pokemon cards or even the magic the gathering cards. Where it's pretty obviously just scalpers and nobody can get a hold of one if they're a regular person without a multi-million dollar scalping business.

Comment You're a boomer (Score -1, Troll) 56

Boomer stopped being a age group and became an attitude when Trump won. You're a boomer. Here's where you deny voting for trump. Go ahead do it.

If a technology is genuinely anti-social and anti-human then yeah we should hold back on it.

We don't allow chemical weapons or fragmentation mines for a good reason.

We are going to be left with tens of millions of people who don't need the work and tens of millions of people who do need to work.

Those two groups are going to start killing each other.

And you will get caught up in that violence.

We could of course do you fully automated luxury gay space communism but you're not going to let us do that.

It's pretty obvious you wanted to roll back the clock to the good old days but it seems that you only want to do that when the billionaires tell you it's all right.

You outsourced your thinking to billionaire propaganda networks. That's worked out for you okay so far it won't last though. They have just about used you for everything they needed. They don't need useful idiots anymore. In another election or so you will no longer be a valuable tool you'll just be another thing to be cast aside in the garbage pit.

And you won't die before the worst of it hits. Unlike old boomers the young boomers are going to have everything taken from them

Comment Was this shitty comment written by AI? (Score 0, Troll) 56

Of course not AI is more capable than that...

Buggy whip manufacturers could just go into making other leather goods. AI exists to just eliminate jobs.

There's no new production being made it's just a whole bunch of work being automated. So the two aren't even remotely equivalent.

But I suppose it comforts you to pretend nothing is ever going to change from the time you were 12 years old. And maybe your stank ass is already retired so you don't give a shit. If it's one thing I've learned about the kind of old fart Boomer trash all over this forum it's that nobody ever thinks anything bad is going to happen to them personally and nobody ever cares about the bad things happening to anyone else.

I got mine fuck you. It's the mantra of everyone over 50.

It's obviously something that the AI companies came up with to sell their product and here we are just using it like fucking sheep.

It's that complete lack of critical thinking that is why you could replace somebody within AI. Or a handful of trained pigeons....

Comment Nothing particular (Score 1) 37

It's just that anti cheat is it incredibly complex and expensive thing to make because you're dealing with other professional software developers who make the cheats and sell them for your game. It's not like it's just some hobbyist hackers like it used to be you've got a lot of Eastern European software engineers they can make an okay living writing the cheats so you've got expert programmers you're going up against who are full-time instead of skilled hackers doing it as a hobby...

So you're chasing maybe one or two percent market share somewhere and spending a hell of a lot of resources to do it.

Marvel rivals is either doing it as a experiment or they're getting subsidized by their government. It's not the kind of thing they can do indefinitely unless it starts bringing in money.
