I did not understand. I’ll see myself out.

Do you think that only apple TVs have wifi chips?

If you don’t have the technical know how to physically lobotomize the TV’s wifi chip, simply blocking its mac address would suffice.

I don’t think businesses are going to be getting any CPU’s to make new PC’s during this shortage either. The average budget laptop cost has skyrocketed.

CPU upgrades? What CPU’s? Are the CPU’s in the Microcenter with us, Microsoft? Can you show us on the shelf where the mystical CPU’s are?

Is the shortage a mirage? Our imagination?

Not exactly. Princeton NJ and the surrounding areas are quite wealthy. The wealthy/elites have decided they don’t want their places polluted or to subsidize the costs of these data centers. It certainly wasn’t Newark and Camden that fought and won this.

GiGo.

I assumed based on the subtext requesting we read the article that the contents of said article said that we should trust it because it’s constantly changing and challenging itself.

However I think some people might be inclined to downvote specifically because this kind of headline is basically clickbait. I’m not sure they’re wrong in doing so.

Generative AI LLM’S? No. GiGo Counters? Yes.

It did what now? What the hell is this title?

“We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.”

Is the actual title. What gives?

A couple of weeks ago a WAYMO Taxi drove through an active crime scene.

A bit ago they had to patch their taxis firmware to prevent them running down children (something you’d think they already would be programmed to do).

Passengers have reported being held hostage by their taxi when it stopped suddenly and refused to move.

There’s a laundry list of things that have been wrong with them. Some have had reasonable fixes (and some of those fixes should have been implemented before they were allowed on the road).

No. You don’t get to decide what is put on my personal computing device just because you want to force the general public to bear the burden of protecting children rather than forcing parents to do their fucking jobs.

Yeah. I often forget this one because AI isn’t replacing my job any time soon. At best maybe it could potentially be used to streamline some processes to do with tech data and work flow management (what tests and protocols get done when, and combining tests/troubleshooting steps to prevent rework). But that would have to be a very targeted and very very regulated and tested thing before it could be viable.

The crazy thing is, none of these articles seem to want to admit that AI is bad. They keep making articles like this. Keep saying that approval is falling among the general populace. But when touching on why that is, there’s always some wiggle words. Always some spin.

It’s never “people being forced to use it are seeing it as a detriment to them” people using it are seeing a decrease in efficacy of the results it gives for the amount of prompting required. Or people don’t like it because it’s going to have significant detrimental affects on the environment and their utilities.

All of those are solid reasons for the decline in both the use of AI LLM’S and the approval of them.

The cost of goods and services relating even tangentially to AI are going through the roof. The amount of slop is increasing at a furious pace, directly contributing to things like enshittification and dead Internet theory. The effect on the economy is looking to be extremely catastrophic.

But oh no. It’s lack of authenticity on social media spaces that people are worried about. Sure.

And yet WAYMO taxis have been driving through bus stops like it’s going out of style. They aren’t necessarily better.

The worst of it hasn’t happened yet. The point where consumers can no longer afford to consume is coming. The system isn’t self sustainable if they continue to chase profits in the short term regardless of what happens in the long term. They’re creating a system where only they will be consumers and that leads to a devaluation of all the currency they’re hoarding.

Prices can’t continue to go up if people can’t afford things. This price hike is going to have far reaching consequences and increase prices of everything.

The people of Germany were burning German marks in the street. They traded goods for goods when they were available, and burned the money for warmth.

The rich of our current generation seem to think they can golden parachute out of this. They have t thought about the long term repercussions of a world power of the US’s magnitude defending to third world country status, but that’s what is coming.

Tape worms. They’re just performing their natural function. Musk is… Well. Musk.

So a car wash?

I agree that you’re right. My thought was it was more likely that they socially engineered their way into getting invited to the chat.

This is why I said that a lot of people are the weakest link in their own secured communications networks.

Yeah. I dunno man. I’m sorry.

But like. A lot of the time security/privacy fails like this are user-inflicted. Either because people don’t understand the apps and services they use, or because other people aren’t as vigilant about auditing their networks (the people, the hardware the software).
