Wouldn’t any text editor with a delinter be superior

Not writing or coding. No one uses it for anything except when Microsoft forces someone to use it as a default text editor.

Even fun videos get search traffic from random queries. A video about robots fighting each other will get traffic from people interested in “robots fighting”, “robots wars”, “robowars”, “armored core”, “Gundam series”

When there are ai summaries for informational or navigational queries there will be fewer clicks because Google will pirate listicle sources of “best robots fighting each other articles”. This means they are stealing from older lists and newer videos will not get mentioned in the ai summary.

This is because ai technology can’t judge the quality of a video.

LLMs are doing things like summarizing videos and then using the summaries to answer queries that before would have been a search result with monetization.

Google’s executives are unconcerned about the declinibg incentives to create YouTube videos having been sold on the lie that the future of the internet lies in Ai generated content. In other words robots will make the internet.

Robots which hallucinate constantly.

If you are high af sometimes you will be eating something but you won’t remember where it came from. Like they cut from the top deck of the ship to the galley and wtf the sandwich is already made? Thats a stoner not remembering that he made a sandwich and then hallucinating that the dog leaned through a porthole and stole it

His super-canine “puppy power” level of strength was the only truly supernatural phenomenon that was demonstrated during the series (at least initially) primary run.

Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.

Yes and yes. What is crazy to me is that the owners of social media want more than profits. They also have a political agenda and are willing to tip the scales against any politician who opposes their interests or the interests of their major shareholders. Facebook promoted right wing disinformation campaigns against leaders who they disliked such as mark Carney. Their shareholders should be sued into oblivion and their c levels thrown into prison. Yet our legal system forbids this.

They are both great and also biased. Because LLM training data includes vast libraries of history books, including such works as Dark Alliance, it is capable of running down paths that few historians would walk. I recently used an LLM to find an unimpeachable source for the CIA’s connection to cocaine trafficking aircraft. This was not available through a simple Google search because the site was likely deindexed.

Carter was a conservative in most ways. He was the first neoliberal to win office and many of the policy agendas that he set both parties continue to pursue

They are promoting the disproven conspiracy theory that illegals are impersonating US citizens and then casting ballots under false names.

Greg Palast’s reporting proved that they are trying to purge minority and left leaning voters from voting rolls.

It’s a huge disaster in the making. There’s probably a game theory model that explains what’s happening but damned if i know it. AI is a trap.

At the beginning of LLMs as a consumer tech phase, the big tech companies believed that they would soon generate synthetic data without human labor costs. But synthetic data caused model collapse when used as training data. So they still need humans.

But now their competitors are using scrapers and summarizers and those are expensive so they have to extract more value from search traffic and that means fewer referrals to sites. Fewer referrals to sites reduces original content and leadabto less traffic and training data for their models.

The only two ways out are to create an international regulatory body ornto break up facebook, microspft, and google.

There are different studies which show a shockingly high percent of the population are fools but the most compelling is the one by Cambridge Analytica which found a population cluster in Facebook’s massive amount of user data. They called this the average cluster.

The Republicans targeted this group in the 2016 election. Around 30 percent of the b population fall into this group.

There are small language models out there that can run fluently on smartphones. I’m fond of StableCode as a coding tutor. My dream is to be able to speak to the tutor and see its code instructions without having to dig my phone out.

It’s odd to me that someone would feel the need to compensate for their socially awkward highschool years by learning Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and taking growth hormone. You’d think being rich would be enough for these people but it’s not.

For a brief period of time, I entertained the hope that the t-shirt was Zuck’s way of warning the world that the US was slipping into a fascist dictatorship, but that was not the case. It seems clear that that he wore the shirt out of hubris. It was his way of telling the world that he was the modern era’s Caeser and the two others men running the failing superstate were crassus and pompey. An absolutely mindless message given how it ended for all three of these men.

By the way, isn’t the word “commode” derived from Commodus? We should name something after Zuck. Perhaps this new strain of bird flu that’s been spreading wildly because of a lack of a federal response?

It occurred right around when the kingdom in orange took power. Somehow zuck thought that it would be advantageous to his interests to compare himself to Caesar during an obvious triumvirate. The orange one and phony stark would be crassus and pompey by extension. But I think commodus is a far more appropriate roman emperor for zuck to choose as his patron saint

For fitness its probably decent but Garmin seems to have placebo sleep tracking. In order to get anything remotely accurate the sleep tracking algorithm has to be compared to a lot of polysomnograph data. But because companies don’t want to spend any more than they need to sleep tracking is usually just tacked on. Garmin hasn’t shown a good track record in this regard.

I completely agree with you. There might be some exceptions but in general what you say is true: when there’s a sea change, a zeigeist, young people are the first to sense it. You don’t get sweeping changes and protests at the senior care facility.

I think it’s also that the young have less to lose and more to gain. Most gen Xer are sitting around on their hands because they stand to lose much more than they gain. They have mortgage and car payments, children, and health insurance. If anything breaks, that can all come tumbling down.

The key word is “widescale”. The reason is that a malignant narcissist can get a small group of cultists to do anything. But in order to get a large group of cultists to do something, he needs a propaganda machine like fox News and they have a much older demographic

Food conglomerates had tried to sell a more efficient vision of the kitchen to working mothers:

Less food prep time meant more time for family and career. But it also meant more sales of processed food and the extinction of the skills required to prepare food.

The children of the seventies and eighties were among the first to experience this change toward preprepared foods.
