Of course AI is bullshit. If you couldn't just use it yourself and figure that out then ask yourself why people like Bezos or Altman are perfectly happy "investing" other people's money but not their own. If they actually believed their own bullshit they would personally be investing all of their money AND taking on personal debt. Instead Bezos, a guy worth ~200B, sells 5B worth of stock to invest in "AI-adjacent" (power generation) industry, while making amazon invest 200B in data centers. Talk about conflict of interest! WTF!

By walking to the car wash, driving it anywhere else, then driving it to the car wash.

>Since you want to wash your car and the car wash is only 50 meters away, driving is the better option. While it's a very short distance, you need the car at the facility to actually use the service! -gemini flash free tier

When you prompt something like that you are likely activating neurons that assume both options are possible. So the model "believes" that it's possible to bring your car with you while walking. Remember possibility is just a number to a model. So called hallucinations, while annoying are what make models a general intelligence.

Oh please, why equate IT BS with cancer? If the null pointer was a billion dollar mistake, then C was a trillion dollar invention.

At this scale of investment countries will have no problem cheapening the value of human life. It's part and parcel of living through another industrial revolution.

I think there is lots of value in a model that mimics your behavior. So your partner or anyone can message "you" at any time of the day.

work, sleep, socialize you can only do 2. With the help of AI you could talk to people as much as you want without wasting their time.

the Linux man page I have installed online says this isn't ASCII and it even made this face when I asked it O _ o

You are not entitled to that food or land over there, neither am I. What are we gonna do about it?

You're naive if you think your immune to social exploitation just cause you write some words. Your entire being is defined by social exploitation. You adopt our language, our roles etc but you believe you can transcend them when it's convenient. Developers aren't entitled to make people reliant on software and ghost them. I'm sure teachers, firefighters and congress (lol) would all love to stay home and wait out the collapse of society, but they go to work because people rely on them. It's an odd thing for me to build a firetruck, go around pretending to be a firefighter (out compete and make the firefighters lose funding) and then snap back at people expecting me to work for free even though governments do fund open source.

If you volunteer as a crossing guard, even if you aren't paid, you have a duty of care. There aren't currently laws against your behavior, but if there is a pattern of such behavior it may be illegal. The EU through the CRA is doing good work in this regard.

Of course governments shouldn't compel people to work (>.o). But nobody wants to live in a world of abandoned core infrastructure projects. You aren't an exception, but you thought yourself special when you decided to work for free. Now instead of understanding why people work for money you scrawl against human nature.

Could you fix this bug? Please.

Presumably if one uses a styled "language-learning app" and are shown testimonals saying something like "I used X and learned language Y" then they are using the app with the goal of learning the language.

Also the poster was clearing trying to say "If that is there goal, they are wasting their time." Why misconstrue them so heavily?

Hi "Tim", are you aware that this is fraud? That this app doesn't help anyone?

How do you prevent gullible users from wasting their time and money on the app rather than learning languages?

From your testimonial that you learned Turkish do you at all mean to imply that a user of your app will have a higher chance of learning Turkish than if they didn't use the app vs say a conversation partner?

Why sell an ineffective product when a more effective one is free?

To quote you "I'm not going to pretend this replaces living in a country or having a conversation partner." This sounds like you believe a simple telephone call is superior to your app. If so why create it? Did you consciously decide to pray on socially anxious people or are you just following other apps blindly?

You can use it for free. It's not fraud.

What happens if oil companies can't make money? They will restructure society so they can. That's the essence of capitalism, the willingness to restructure society to chase growth.

Obviously this tech is profitable in some world. Car companies can't make money if we live in walking distance and people walk on roads.
