So as this example shows we are circling the drain. Not sure how it follows that we are getting from hilarious search results to "every aspect of our daily lives will suck even more now". Fellas, your job is far more likely to suck than this ever will.
The danger of LLM “AI” is not its power, it’s in its shittiness that threatens to subsume the rest of the internet (and by extension most aspects of our daily lives) for SEEMINGLY NO REASON— punished giorgio (@GMomurder) May 23, 2024

We won't be able to use the Internet to fact check inside three years but AI is cool. It's fun to say, at least.

so that one is saying its last updated dataset was in 2021, have any of these been updated since stuff like ChatGPT went mainstream? because if it's pulling stuff from 11 year old Redditors it sure as hell would pull in a ton of AI-generated data if it were to be updated today, meaning this stuff is more likely to get worse not better

Pearls are a timeless accessory and have been worn by baseball players for many years. They are seen as a symbol of good luck, team spirit, and fashion. They can also help the player feel more confident and give them a sense of power and strength.

In regard to Scott Jensen's reference to a 'blind panic' among the high tech giants, it's worthwhile to remember that what is causing that panic is the specter of their stock options losing some fraction of their value, so they become marginally less obscenely wealthy.

I go to Instagram and it prompts me to “ask meta AI anything”. What the FUCK would I want an AI to help me with on Instagram? What iota of value could we squeeze out of this thoroughly unnecessary and unasked-for “enhancement”?

Also, if I ever click on a post about, let’s say lettuce, for even a second, all I get in my feed forever is lettuce videos. Do you think I’m going to voluntarily sign up for the rest of my online life for whatever bullshit my mind serves up in the moment when I decide to “ask Meta AI” something?

Prediction: AI will displace social drinking within 5 yearsJust as alcohol is a social disinhibitor, like the Steve Martin movie Roxanne, people will use AI powered earbuds to help them socialize.

I mean you probably get a good sitcom plot outta this, you know the ones where a lady tries to flirt with a guy by pretending to know about sports or whatever, having to run out of the room every 2 minutes to get new bits of trivia from her friends, only to be foiled when she blurts out something about how Vince Wilfork used to eat 3 rocks a day

I have never been able to read more than like three paragraphs of an Ed Zitron piece, and I find it fascinating actually - I have tried to analyse why and I always come up empty. He writes in a punchy way. He sets out his thesis. I dunno what it is. Just slides off the brain.

I thought it was good, gets at this sense I've been having the last few years that technology is evolving faster than humans can keep up with and it's producing a bunch of junk that people don't really want
when Facebook turned into "Meta" and started doing all this VR stuff it did worry me somewhat, I mean I know everyone was dunking on it and calling it stupid but I wasn't convinced a company would just throw away a bunch of money like that if they didn't think there was something there, glad to be right on that one

i like ziltron im glad hes out there writing in an olde school blog style, and to his credit amongst the millions of opinion havers he does do some reporting like his piece on the people who ruined google hadnt really been reported like that and i think he turned up some new stuff from sources, or at least some digging like in the most recent one where he went into the declining traffic to the new sites he turns up some interesting stuff that youre not just seeing everywhere
