I directly quoted a study from Duke University, how is that “even less substance” that your anecdote?

Cool anecdote. Every time we actually see real data, though, the numbers don’t reflect much in the way of productivity gains or increased efficiency or better output. People say that LLMs are useful because it feels useful, but we aren’t seeing actual usefulness. The most recent study out of Duke University observes “a productivity paradox, in which perceived productivity gains are larger than measured productivity gains, likely reflecting a delay in revenue realizations.”

A delay. Sure.

Robots aren’t like software, it’s immediately obvious when they don’t work the way they’re advertised whereas chatbots can trick people into thinking they’re way more useful than they actually are. The “fake it till you make it” “move fast and break things” ethos of tech doesn’t work when there’s actual, physical evidence that shit’s busted.

Outdated info from where?

Seems to me like it would have come from plans drawn up 10+ years ago about where to target.

Naw, these plans were sitting around for a long time. Trump just picked them up and ran with them, even though a lot of stuff is out-of-date. The biggest clue is the the girl’s school bombing, it was once part of an IRGC compound ten-ish years ago.

If your country has a plan to go to war with every other country in the world and a warmonger gets elected then one of those plans will be implemented regardless of whether its justified. See: Iraq, Iran

The next fascist that gets elected will probably start a war with China regardless of the Taiwan situation.

Let them fight.

I’m sure it was just a coincidence. 🙂

Oil peaked at $147.27 in July 2008; adjusted for inflation that’s $223.53 today.

Lehman Brothers went bankrupt 2 months after oil reached that record high.

Courts generally agree that a reasonable person could believe claims made in official promotional material. That’s why it’s not legal to outright lie in marketing and they need to go through so much trouble to properly word their statements so that they’re technically true. In this case, they’re just lying. They’re saying the AI is safe to use for these tasks and it is not.

More a problem with the marketing, right? Imagine if guns were marketed as safe and helpful back scratchers, and then someone shoots themselves because they used the gun to scratch their back.

Good thing we just started a war to paralyze global energy markets. That’ll help!

I usually use my memory when I want to look back on my entire day and know what I did.

Also we wouldn’t have to keep forking over extra money so that the insurance company can make profits.

Nationalize all insurance.

That’s still embodied energy, so the question becomes; “How much energy does it take to actually make these materials?”

In particular, the device is packed with Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), which are synthetic porous materials engineered at the molecular level to have huge surface areas. A few grams of an MOF can have a surface area equivalent to a football arena, according to the source.

That sounds pretty energy-intensive to me.

🎵 It should also be noted a bottle of it was found
In the clenched dead hand of the white John Brown
Everytime it went 'round new people would find it
They would take their essence, put it in and grind it
In Russia, Africa, Asia too
Mao Tse-Tung made the flavors new 🎶

They don’t want IMAX in your living room, they want IMAX in the IMAX theater, where you pay a premium for their service.

Are you under the impression that the US doesn’t have laws against using your phone while driving?

Decades ago? What are you talking about? As far as I can tell distracted driving detection software is an extremely recent technological development that’s been adopted in a few countries in the past few years. The UK was first I think, in 2021. France and Germany only upgraded in the last year. I don’t need to be mocked for missing out on the latest and greatest in traffic enforcement technology, and I don’t appreciate being talked down to like I’m fucking stupid or the butt of a fucking joke.
