I found an '80s show that I somehow completely missed: "Sledge Hammer!" I don't know how I missed this show, but I've binged it now.

Degenerative AI has not led to any of that propulsion advance, etc. That's "machine learning", not LLM.

Nobody is disputing the value of non-LLM (non-degenerative) AI. It's the degenerative AI that's utterly and fucking useless for anything except burning down rainforests.

It hasn't dripped yet, and I haven't used it enough to answer that fraying question.

A whole bunch to select from there.

I'm in China, so I'd be using it for Chinese calligraphy. When I get around to learning it.

A "virus" is now "any program that doesn't work"?

All programs are viruses!

I guess I was the sucker that just learned to write.

Or, you know, I could just search for the links.

All ChatGPT adds to the equation now is burning down a rainforest or ten.

Which is absolutely hilarious to me given how often it hallucinates answers.

I recently tried ChatGPT as a Google alternative. It looked very impressive as it found things based on the slightest of clues. Except that literally everything it found was made up. It "found" a movie quote by Orson Welles that was never quoted. It "found" a song by an artist that said artist never released. It "found" an album by a group released four years before said group's first release.

If you're using ChatGPT as a Google replacement you are being dangerously misinformed by a degenerative "AI" that speaks with the certitude of a techbrodude.

I genuinely did not know that! 😵

This reminds me of a similar factoid.

Did you know that if you took the entire Pacific salmon catch and laid it out nose to tail across the Sahara desert…

…the stench would be overpowering!

OpenAI stays alive the same way Farcebook stays alive, Goober stays alive, Xhitter stays alive, etc. etc.

Flat-out grifting.
