I just got blocked from .ml for calling someone a tankie. Good riddance.

I have dozens of notes in my notes app I forgot existed.

It is possible to acknowledge that a billionaire is doing a good thing with his ungodly wealth, while also saying that he should not have that level of wealth to begin with.

“This shit is confusing af, no cap”, said one senior scientist.

I knew it!

I don’t think anyone is saying that billionaires existing is a good thing.

Pretty sure this is illegal, is it not?

It’s going to be more than an Xbox, but not too crazy. Probably $800 is my guess.

Is that not unique in the entire world of amphibians? I was under the impression all amphibians laid eggs.

Is this saying that these species give birth to live babies, as opposed to laying eggs?

So you just basically admit that no amount of argument against your point will change your mind. So thanks for letting me know I’m wasting my time here. Have a good one.

I’m not conflating the two notions. I have said that they are not completely accurate, but they are absolutely accurate enough. It is really very clear the experience of those who actually use AI, vs those who just regurgitate sensationalized headlines. If you think AI is literally “useless”, then you are not living in reality.

Did I say it was 100% accurate?

Do you have research to support your claim that AI in general upholds fascist ideologies (aside from those specifically tuned to do so, like Grok)? I don’t condone the current model of data center driven AI, but there is such a thing as self hosted LLMs. Some Linux distro even have them available out of the box.

Good to know where most of the people here on the fediverse lie with this topic, that they view people who use AI in any way as worthless humans.

It gives you a good starting point. If its something simple, like “What are the best night clubs in my area”, then it is useful. It may not be 100% accurate in that case, but you were going to go through them 1 by 1 anyway, and it can give you a quick summary of what they are, so you can decide if you want to look into them more. Or you can further narrow down your results in a way that a simple google search couldn’t. I’m not saying its the be all end all, but this whole “AI is totally useless” thing is just ridiculous.

It depends on the model and who made it, as well as what you are asking. If its a well known fact, like “who was president in 1992”, then it is math as you say, and could be wrong, but is more often right than not, but if it’s something more current and specific, like “what is the best Italian restaurant in my area” then it does in fact so the search for you, using google maps and reviews and other data.

They’re accurate enough for simple questions like “when was Bill Clinton President”? Go ahead and prove me wrong and ask that question to an AI, and show me one that gets it wrong.
