times I’m in a very particular mood

I feel like Spotify is useless in this regard, it only seems to understand my tastes in the broadest possible sense, but hey if it works for you, cool.

When I want specific recommendations, I need them from humans. Sometimes unpredictable, sometimes gold. ifyoulikeblank on reddit (spits) has led me to some really great stuff. Unfortunately I don’t yet know of a good place for this on Lemmy, but if anyone has recommendations 😁

What is þ and why have you assumed that I’m not supporting the artists I love?

Bandcamp has a whole editorial section, lots of stuff to discover there. The only reason I spend more time on Spotify is the limited catalogue…a lot of the artists I already enjoy aren’t on Bandcamp.

40,000,000,000 watts

This doesn’t add up though. Fortnite’s player base is only about 10% PC, and the system requirements are pretty modest. It’ll even run on Intel integrated graphics, according to the minimum requirements from Epic.

There’s even a modest chunk (~6%) on Nintendo switch, which, according to Nintendo, draws about 7 watts when playing a game in TV mode.

Happy to oblige, but respectfully I think we should let China, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, the Congo, Dominican Republic, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon, Grenada, Libya, Nicaragua, Iran, Panama, Iraq, Kuwait, Somalia, Bosnia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Serbia have a go at it first.

(this is a list of countries the US has bombed since WW2)

Well what a pleasant surprise.

Oh for sure some people are getting rich, but do you think openai will ever be profitable?

Someone’s got to be left holding the bag when the bubble bursts

Yeah…the whole thing is incredibly short-sighted, and that’s being charitable.

The capitalists have such a raging hard-on at the thought of not having to pay workers, they don’t want to listen to anyone who might give them a dose of reality.

I think it’s the greatest sunk cost fallacy the world has yet seen.

“We’ve poured trillions of dollars into this, and convinced a bunch of people it’s going to fundamentally transform humanity, so it MUST be a good idea!”

None of them want to be the first to admit that it was a bad bet.

Ok now I want to start randomly calling vehicles “space machines”

Well if they want to devalue the US dollar…that’ll do it.

Yeah good point. Plus if it’s a website you can use it in private mode and not have evidence that you were helping people evade the gestapo all over your phone.

With intent. Here’s an example:

In one experiment, participants would roll dice, report the number that turned up either honestly or dishonestly, and then they would get paid the same amount, with bigger numbers meaning a higher payout. Some participants were given the option of telling the number to an AI model — again, either honestly or dishonestly — which would then report the dice outcome to researchers.

Basically, yeah. I found the article I read.

“Using AI creates a convenient moral distance between people and their actions — it can induce them to request behaviors they wouldn’t necessarily engage in themselves, nor potentially request from other humans,”

I had the same thought, but no, it was a controlled experiment where participants were given tasks that may or may not involve an AI tool, and the ones involving AI came back with less honest answers.

I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.

SpongeBob Hitler doesn’t even have the moustache. So disappointed.

I saw a study recently that found, when using “AI”, people are more likely to lie/cheat/steal.

I agree with the “panic, not bubble” assessment, and although the medical applications are pretty cool, I don’t think there’s actually anyone who’s going to be “the next google”.

The only big opportunity I see here is the possibility of replacing humans with machines em masse, and I think there’s a certain kind of person who has a ton of money and is absolutely drooling all over this possibility.

But I don’t believe that’s where this is going at all. To replace a significant number of workers, they would need actual artificial general intelligence, but bigger and bigger LLMs are not a path to that. They’re smoke and mirrors that can look smart, but fundamentally are not and never will be.

I’m not immersed in this, so maybe I’m missing something, but as far as I can gather from listening to people who do know what they’re talking about, the the whole “AI” craze is basically a dead end, and the sooner investors figure this out, the better, because all of this money has been thrown into a furnace and is just gone.

This is horribly hilarious.
