We literally have wars being fought over simple misunderstandings and half truths. How much worse is it going to be, when AIS take hold.

JeeBaiChow ,

Do any of them? I mean beyond glorified search and summarization?

JeeBaiChow ,

It's almost like the cloud isn't the answer to everything...

JeeBaiChow ,

Isnt being approached by creeps part of the 'authentic' experience?

JeeBaiChow ,

Hahaha... Can relate. Visited a brother in the UK during winter from the tropics. So on board I was in jeans and a t-shirt. Only the airport didn't have the boarding tubes, so we had to walk from the plane to the bus, then from the bus to the terminal. I severely underestimated the distance, had no jacket (in my luggage) and was just trying to maintain 'cool' the whole time, controlling breathing and fighting the shivers the whole time.

JeeBaiChow ,

Unfortunately, the fact that they understand it doesn't mean they will do anything about it.

JeeBaiChow ,

Fuck him. His 195m compensation probably makes it easier to swallow.

JeeBaiChow ,

Better brush up on my e-sports skillz, then.

JeeBaiChow ,

Good. Get rid of proprietary messaging apps and unfettered access to our data. Bring back standards.

JeeBaiChow ,

I was around during the IE/ Netscape war. It occurred to me back then that given the same set of opportunities, any business would likely do the same. It sucks.

JeeBaiChow ,

Tech looks like magic to the average person. It's even hard for tech people to definitively tell if something inappropriate is happening, unless they have access to the source. And even so, companies will hide behind the 'trade secrets' excuse. Most of the time we can only imagine the shenanigans happening behind the veneer of the corporate copy, because it's what we would do, given the vast amounts of data and lack of accountability/ transparency available for exploitation.

JeeBaiChow ,

Maybe they're just worried about meeting an AI trained on cat memes and inflammatory racist rants from socially awkward incoherent individuals with anger and self love issues.

I kid! I kid!

Maybe...

JeeBaiChow ,

Correct. I feel the regulators lost the plot when they didn't keep up with market demands for next gen messaging, leading first to the proprietary protocols and then the proliferation of third party apps growing out of a person's social clout. It's sucks having to check which app someone is on before I can communicate with them. Some of us here in Asia have 10+ messaging apps on our phone, a combination of pre installed bloatware and apps installed because someone else didn't have my one, esoteric app. Each time we are handing over more and more of our personal data, network, metadata (so they say) etc.

JeeBaiChow ,

Medical and banks on older stuff yet. Dunno about space shuttle.

JeeBaiChow , (edited )

You kid, I know. But the shuttle software was one of the most stringently tested systems, at least as one of my sEng courses would have me believe.

Amazing that the device you are reading this on is way more powerful that the ones that first put men on the moon.

JeeBaiChow ,

Agreed. I used to follow a mod group and the optimizations they used to pull off on 8086 is ridiculous. Nowadays an embedded browser app takes up 5gb on my phone. Wtf.

JeeBaiChow ,

When chipped keys launched, wasn't there a lot of talk about how the system would negotiate a new set of keys for the next interaction making the simple act of recording radio exchanges impossible? All hot air by the manufacturers?

JeeBaiChow ,

It's the sudden realization. You can see the stream hitting the water, but also somehow feel your leg get wet. Then it hits you, and you wake up disgusted at yourself.

JeeBaiChow ,

I mean why have a CS degree when an AI subscription costs $30/month?

JeeBaiChow ,

So TIL 'prompt engineer' is now a thing. We're doomed, aren't we?

JeeBaiChow ,

Shows 'Twilight zone: the movie' instead.

JeeBaiChow ,

Anyone who's not an influencer who bought it solely for the likes, fully intending to return it, care to chime in about the thing?

JeeBaiChow ,

Yeah. At most they'd mark the comments as inactive, hide from the user accessible areas and maybe anonymize the user id. But they definitely have the username table and the data still in the system, 100%, just waiting for the right offer.

JeeBaiChow ,

Frankly, if they're training bots on my comments, I'd be sure to poison the shit out of those comments. Say stuff like 'Donald trump won the election', 'bleach needs to be inside the body to work', 'Russia has rights to Ukraine', etc. Just make the data worthless. Any free bots do that?

JeeBaiChow ,

Me, I'd prefer to fill it in with fake news. Let them train their bots on 'taylor swift is an alien psyop trained to infiltrate the highest levels of govt to fulfill the agenda of the radical left instellar warmongering fearlords ...'

“In 10 years, computers will be doing this a million times faster.” The head of Nvidia does not believe that there is a need to invest trillions of dollars in the production of chips for AI (gadgettendency.com)

JeeBaiChow ,

Because the ceos copy has to sound good for the shareholders on either side.

JeeBaiChow ,

The influencers got their videos, I guess.

JeeBaiChow ,

Isn't this pretty much the state of current gen ai, the hype overtaking the reality and all that?

JeeBaiChow ,

As a reference, I'd use a search engine first, but it's a matter of personal preference. Usually I'm only short in syntax and a particular language's native functions. The only benefit I could foresee is avoiding the rude, condescending snarky comments from the experienced developers on stackexchange and the like, but I almost never register to post, so avoid all that. I did see a benefit in the area of (real) language learning, when I can ask it to translate something. Then break down specific parts of the response for clarification, switching between my native and the language I'm trying to learn. That was mind blowing.

JeeBaiChow ,

Oh gawd. Keep your fucking AI out of my fucking browser!

JeeBaiChow ,

It's just to boost investor confidence. It'll take a few years before it dies down, the true value is understood and the next buzzword takes hold. Sad state of tech these days. Many grifters, many more losers.

JeeBaiChow ,

They voted to leave the EU. Can confirm they're stuped(sic) morons.

JeeBaiChow ,

...and yes, as many have speculated, they do indeed look like cosmic-scale douchebags.

JeeBaiChow ,

It's like the green/ blue bubbles thing. Anyone who overemphasizes superficial things like that aren't worth your time. What matters in a professional environment is the value behind the communique. If the real bill gates messages you from a Hotmail account, you'ld probably want to pay attention.

JeeBaiChow ,

Only if he promises to bequeath half of his fortune if you pay a small fee to help him set up a local bank account in your country to move his monies out because he hates Biden.

JeeBaiChow ,

Carice? Harks back to the small British sports car.

JeeBaiChow ,

Agreed. The ratio is particularly high at maga rallies and anti vaccine drives.

JeeBaiChow ,

Their messing up theyre theres, theirs and they'res again?
