Echo Dot

Why are all the experts going on about the fact you might blind pilots but not talking about the fact that it won’t actually do anything.

It would have to be an astonishingly vast megastructure for it to have any effect at all. If we were talking about a structure 100 km across or more they might actually have some sort of point.

He famously isn’t rich. He manages the money of the rich, he himself is only well off. This isn’t his money he’s investing, it’s the money of the people he works for. So there’s obviously some market feeling that this is a good bet.

The fact that he was even able to make that bet is incredible. How deluded do you have to be to think the AI bubble won’t burst? Keeping it going will require in ever-increasing amounts of money to paper over the gaping chasms that keep cropping up, and eventually the amount of money necessary to keep it going will cease to be feasible. Then, after taking gullible investor for all of they’ve got, the whole thing will fall over in the world’s most well deserved and predictable market crash.

The subprime mortgage collapse was inevitable only in hindsight, you had to have a good understanding of the market to see it in advance. To see the level of corruption and false promises that have to be made in order to make the mortgage bubble possible. But everyone can see the AI BS right out in the open, I’m not talking about the “how many Rs are in strawberry” questions either, I can sort of see why that’s not really a fair question. I’m talking about the fact that every single business that has ever tried to replace its employees with AI, has always failed, and failed almost immediately. Even Amazon couldn’t make it work.

You have to be pretty deep in the Kool-Aid to think that ubisoft has “taken risks” with Assassins Creed.

Yeah, it’s useless as it doesn’t know how tonuse excel functions, so it just Google’s the answer and gives you whatever came back. It might be the right function, but if it is, it’s a tossup

Yeah bluesky, news flash, most people don’t care about corporations they just want a product that isn’t a headache to use. The fact that you’re responding to that knowledge with hostility rather than trying to address the problem is exactly the attitude Mastodon has, which is exactly why no one uses it

Idiot tech bros assuming that the rest of the population should have to wade through molasses, just because it’s how they like it, and everyone else is just stupid for refusing to deal with it.

The media does not want to write about incremental discoveries so instead they make up sensationalist headlines and then clarify in the body of the work. Knowing full well that a lot of people won’t read beyond the headline.

Fancy been so stupid that you can’t work that out.

Why would the doctor not want people to stick things in the sand?

You say that like that’s actually true.

The real reason that people go to bluesky over Mastodon has nothing to do with “The System™”, it’s because the Mastodon onboarding process is incomprehendibly awful. It’s far worse than Lemmy, which itself is pretty terrible. The refusal to introduce an algorithm isn’t pro-consumer it’s just hostile to the non-terminally online. If a service isn’t easy to use it won’t be used. This isn’t a revolutionary concept.

Just install sponsor block. It’s the only way to make YouTube bearable.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we had marginally competent political representatives rather than the complete wastes of oxygen that we have right now.

Best I can do is when I got off the train at 8:30 to arrive at work the 9:00. The walk from the train station to the office was 15 minutes, I arrived at 10:15. How the hell did that happen?

If he’s invented teleportation that’s totally different I’m all for that.

There is a severe lack of people to work in the care sector. I don’t understand how the situation is improved by having them remotely control expensive robots. They can still only be in one place at a time controlling one robot at a time.

I agree on the slave front. If there is going to be any slavery going on, it better be good old-fashioned analogue slavery.

Where does it say that

The article never makes the claim that you can access it from anywhere in the world. Literally nowhere in the entire article does it ever make a comment even remotely suggesting that that’s a possibility.

Easy, computer viruses are interchange so that. Then I’ll use a Stargate to get home.

We need to add more gates such as, maybe, don’t know, and ask your mother

Wait it’s just a Magnum? Which when you think about it is also a stupid name so I guess Australia can do whatever.
