Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.

The only consolation is that he probably can’t get the (mostly lovely) sounds out of his head either.

For my child to participate in elementary school, and not be left out of comouter-based learning, I have to approve of her using a chromebook which is doing exactly what I’m sure we can all imagine with future marketable data sources: building profiles.

“…and when they were 7 they liked…” “Try the color red, they used to prefer than, might be a good nostalgic pitch…”

Oh UI improvement from Google? Yeah they’ll get right on that.

That sniper rifle was so dope, but the accuracy of CPU players with an AK like across the map and then /gaspingsoundwhenhit was so frustrating lol

Goldeneye Surface level PTSD. Enemies beyond your sight horizon due to fog/snow, no map overlay for relative positioning, memorization was the only way to not get lost.

You just need to buy the North America Animal Recognition AI subscription and this wouldn’t be an issue plebs, it will stop for 28 out of 139 mammals!

“Action? Yeah…they got 4 new detectives working on the case…they got us working in shifts! Action, ha.”

Would love to see the allocation of resources in the stupid company toward crime prevention vs. developing new methods of enshittification to harvest user data

Literally the line, from the guy, in the movie. It spawned a sequel you may have heard of that then played it up as it was such a perfectly ominous line.

The original is where he delivers the line and then crashes through the police station fam.

Yeah, I saw something about the new Renault EV, looks mini-esque, supposed to be great but if it’s not even in the market oh well.

Caught me completely by obvious

Customer support tier .5

It can be hella great for finding what you need on a big website that is poorly organized, laid out, or just enormous in content. I could see it being incredible for things like irs.gov, your healthcare providers website, etc. in getting the requested content in user hands without them having to familiarize themselves with constantly changing layouts, pages, branding, etc.

To go back to the IRS example, there are websites in the last 5 years that started to have better content library search functionality, but I guess for me having AI able to contextualize the request and then get you what you want specifically would be incredible. “Tax rule for x kind of business in y situation for 2024”—that shit takes hours if you’re pretty competent sometimes, and current websites might just say “here is the 2024 tax code PLOP” or “here is an answer that doesn’t apply to your situation” etc. “tomato growing tips for zone 3a during drought” on a gardening site, etc.

I’m in HR so benefits are a big one…the absolute mountain of content, even if you understand it, even experts can’t have perfect recall and quick, easy answers through a mountain of text seems like an area AI could deliver real value.

That said, companies using AI as an excuse to them eliminate support jobs because customers “have AI” are greedy dipshits as AI and LLMs are a risk at best and outside of a narrow library and intense testing are going to always be more work for the company as you not only have to fix the wrong answer situations but also get the right answer the old fashioned way. You still need humans and hopefully AI can make their work more interesting, nuanced and fulfilling.

But tiktok is what we should be focusing on…

That and the librarrrrry

I think it’s totally healthy that an online bookseller became the world’s largest monopoly, is suing to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional so serfs can’t form unions for a modicum of power, bought a major historic film studio for its name and library, is now moving into live sports, and produced the world’s richest man who by all accounts is an immature, greedy prick.

I’m HR and I support this message. Only thing I would add is that its much worse than that–its not just specialized jobs. Even bad, low wage jobs desperate for labor either a) don’t have the HR budget to review and screen the volume of applicants correctly b) have given up on a) and have an AI screening system that sucks and still gives them too many candidates to review and screen with their budget. Hiring managers mostly have even less time than HR.

Blockchain resumes is the only way, but much like Esperanto has a critical mass of institutions and organizations that likely won’t be reached.

This should have been settled in bankruptcy court as part of business wind down before anyone got a penny of assets divided proceeds. When it’s not then another legal battle is required to get the company to do what it should have. Such a waste of time and needless burden for society. Unfortunately, regulatory capture and representative funding capture is almost total so no laws will be passed to change it.
