What the actual fuck?

Where is my pitchfork?

I work in IT and far be it for me to tell you what OS to use on your own computer.

The only thing I want to die right now, is the AI bubble. Just pop already. Holy fuck what a worthless endeavor this has been.

We live in wild times

I have seen posts that were edited to be random dictionary words on Reddit. Complete nonsense.

Most have just removed their replies while others deleted their accounts.

People have been protesting for a while.

I keep having to argue with people that the crap that chat GPT told them doesn't exist.

I asked AI to explain how to set a completely fictional setting in an admin control panel and it told me exactly where to go and what non-existent buttons to press.

I actually had someone send me a screenshot of instructions on how to do exactly what they wanted and I sent back screenshots of me during the directions to a tee, and pointing out that the option didn't exist.

And it keeps happening.

"AI" gets big uppies energy from telling you that something can be done and how to do it. It does not get big uppies energy from telling you that something isn't possible. So it's basically going to lie to you about whatever you want to hear so it gets the good good.

No, seriously, there's a weighting system to responses. When something isn't possible, it tends to be a less favorable response than hallucinating a way for it to work.

I am quickly growing to hate this so-called "AI". I've been on the Internet long enough that I can probably guess what the AI will reply to just about any query.

It's just... Inaccurate, stupid, and not useful. Unless you're repeating something that's already been said a hundred different ways by a hundred different people and you just want to say the same thing..... Then it's great.

Hey, chat GPT, write me a cover letter for this job posting. Cover letters suck and are generally a waste of fucking time, so, who gives a shit?

IMO, as a driver, tow them. There should be a city ordnance in place that as soon as a tram needs to stop because of a poorly parked vehicle, they call for a tow immediately. If you get back to your car before the tow truck shows up, you can avoid being towed by simply getting the fuck out of the way. If not, good luck idiot.

There should be zero tolerance for this kind of fuckary.

There are so many sins that have been committed in the name of progress.

Most of the early Windows games won't even run anymore. There's been more lost than we can reasonably understand.

My journey took me through to Windows 2000 pro (as opposed to server) for a while there. I eventually moved over to XP, then Vista, then 7.

I was one of the first people I knew of that ran Vista 64 bit. Most didn't have the hardware for it, but the core 2 duo in my mobile computer was capable, so I jumped ship as soon as I could.

I'm both unsurprised and disappointed that itanium, Intel's first attempt at 64 bit CPUs, failed. Starting new with an instruction set that was built from the ground up for modern applications was both very ambitious and presented a fairly unique opportunity for the industry, but they just couldn't move enough units, and AMD saw the writing on the wall, and created the 64 bit extension for the x86 instruction set.

Oh well. Another opportunity lost.

We have another one with the whole ARM processor race that Apple kicked off with the M1. I'm only sad that it went to arm and not RISC V. That would have been quite the change.

Oh well. Maybe RISC V will see another opportunity soon, since NASA commissioned a new generation of radiation hardened processors for spaceflight computers, and they're RISC V.... Who knows.

I'm off on a tangent. Weeeee

That's a fine opinion. You have every right to disagree with me and I'll fight anyone who tries to take that away from you.

We may not agree on this, but it's not worth getting bothered about. Enjoy your day!

ADHD here. We study behavior so we can mask.

It becomes almost rudimentary when you notice the patterns. Just need to know what to look for and constantly be thinking of how the other person will see it.

I would say this is definitely not a red flag.

But I'm also not saying it's green. Probably more green than anything... Maybe a nice seafoam.

The Good is that she wasn't angry and was being patient. Letting you figure it out. The not great but not bad part of this is that she did nothing to help.

I would have just stepped outside for "some fresh air" and wait for the person to notice me standing next to the entrance. That way I'm helping them, but only a little, they still have to find me. Finding me may be easier than finding the establishment that we agreed to meet at.

The key here is to not go out and call them over. Let them find you. If you call them, it's kinda difficult to walk the line of, "oh hey, I'm over here" and not cross over into "get over here stupid. I had to come get you because you're to dumb to find things yourself".... Best play is just to make yourself more obvious.

I wouldn't say this is a green flag as it is, but it's definitely not a red one.

You know we do. I'll keep one on I've for you bud.

The people in the video media industry.....

I thought that would have been obvious.
