No… It’s just laziness let’s not sugar coat it. You have the wealth of human knowledge in your pocket, knowledge of how to do absolutely anything and everything for free on a silver platter, all you have to do is prioritize exploring ethical technology choices. Complexity of the problem itself is not a good excuse to not learning to solve it as it continues to become a bigger problem.

Been off Spotify since they have Rogan his platform, which contributed to Trump also.

These bombs are not just dead weights. These bunker busters are equipped with precision guidance and fly to and hit a person on the head if they desired. It’s also designed to deliver a huge explosion AFTER it penetrates with the kinetic impact.

It can also be set to explode right before impact, like Israel really likes to do when attaching residential high-rises, to deliver maximum destruction and death.

It’s confirming your bias so you like it…

Actually, Firefox version numbers were totally independent for most of their history, but Mozilla recently adjusted them to roughly align with Chromium versions to reduce confusion for developers.

2004 - Firefox 1.0, no Chrome yet 2010 - Firefox 4.0, Chrome around version 8 2011 - Firefox switches to rapid releases 2020 - Firefox and Chrome both around version 85, just by coincidence 2024 - Firefox jumps from 124 to 126 to align with Chrome 126 2025 - Firefox 126+, Chrome 126+, version numbers now track similarly

You can run a model locally on your phone and it will answer most prompts without breaking a sweet, it’s actually way less energy than googling and loading the content from a website that’s hosted 24/7 just waiting for you to access the content.

Training a model is expensive, using it isn’t.

You’re moving the goalposts. You said you need nuance in how to measure a shirt size, you’re arguing just to argue.

If a model ever starts answering these curiosities inaccurately, it would be an insufficient model for that task and wouldn’t be used for it. You would immediately notice this is a bad model when it tells you to measure your neck to get a sleeve length.

Am I making sense? If the model starts giving people bad answers, people will notice when reality hits them in the face.

So I’m making the assertion that many models today are already sufficient for accurately answering daily curiosities about modern life.

Oh for sure, I’m just saying they don’t even need to hit any targets and they’d still be winning long term. They are capable of much more, and Israel can’t fight Iran without US.

Satanyahu is betting on forcing Trump to agree to war with Iran on his watch. Avoiding that is thankfully one of Trump’s main priorities, hopefully they don’t succeed in changing his calculus on it.

And they aren’t able to and won’t be able to maintain media blackout much longer, Iran has stated that they will keep going and will go harder, and we’ve already seen some seriously damaged neighborhoods. As long as Iran keeps it reasonable (and what is reasonable has changed tremendously in the last two years of genocide and western media going hard to defend and justify Israeli war crimes), I think Trump can tolerate way more destruction of Tel Aviv than netanyahu thought he would.

Iran has spent decades building an arsenal of cheap drones that aren’t really designed to hit targets, they are designed to financially cripple Israel by expending expensive iron dome charges.

Let me know when we get one. In the meantime, enjoy your thick, glue riddled, pizza sauce

What? That’s just stupid, like I’m not remotely claiming they are intelligent, but to dismiss their utility completely is just idiotic. How long do you think the plug your ears strategy will work for?

Pick any model that has come out this year and ask if my example query or any similar daily curiosity you would Google, and show me how it gives you “thick, glue riddled, pizza sauce”. Show me a single gpt 3.5 comparable model that can’t answer that query with sufficient accuracy.

if AI is answering, yes.

You’re being obtuse. You don’t need nuance in trying to figure out what size collar you should buy.

The last thing I googled is how to measure dress shirt size. Do you need context and nuance for everything you Google?

Do you prefer to click on the seo optimized first page results that are full of ads and read through a nonsense article about elegance in formal wear just to get to the instructions on where to place the measuring tape on your shoulder? I MUCH prefer the AI summarized response.

Most of the Internet is NOT intellectual writing, it’s blog spam to answer your daily curiosities and practical needs. A sufficienty trained model is a really good (and environmentally friendly) alternative.

They won’t, and I’m saying Google knows that their Advertising cash cow is running out of milk.

Different types of AI, different training data, different expectations and outcomes. Generative AI is but one use case.

It’s already been proven a useful tool in research, when directed and used correctly by an expert. It’s a tool, to give to scientists to assist them, not replace them.

If you’re goal to use AI to replace people, you’ve got a bad surprise coming.

If you’re not equipping your people with the skills and tools of AI, your people will become obsolete in short time.

Learn AI and how to utilize it as a tool, you can train your own model on your own private data and locally interrogate the model to do unique analysis typically not possible in realtime. Learn the goods and bads of technology and let your ethics guide how you use it, but stop dismissing revolutionary technology because the earlier generative models weren’t reinforced enough get fingers right.

Ad supported articles is a dead industry, Google realizes this better than anyone. People don’t go to the source anymore to answer curiosities, why would you read a whole article to answer a simple question when AI gives you the answer directly?

It’s not really begging for censorship, it’s begging for healthier consumption.

The issue is entirely one of parenting IMO. I’ve seen what’s on YouTube kids and my kids aren’t allowed to watch anything on YouTube without my supervision.

Gross sexual stuff, violence, and cruelty is being pushed to your children as fun with flashy colors and silly sounds. Go watch YouTube kids for a while, click on the random kids channels not the corporate ones.

We’re not talking about sex education and more mature topics, these shoes are promoting sexual violence, violence, bullying, and it’s all being pushed in a fun way.

It’s a parenting problem, and the parents need to be educated on it. They don’t see the problem, kids have their own phones, and Google doesn’t give a fuck they will push the must engaging most addicting most disturbing content to your kids to keep them watching.

Now read some books and see how much Bill Clinton is directly to blame for most awful shit we’re dealing with today, and while you shouldn’t come to justify 9-11, you’ll understand its motivation correctly.

Bill Clinton and neo-libs like him is why we go right instead of left as a society.

If you don’t think centralized currency controlled by neo-liberal capitalist states isn’t a problem to solve, we aren’t even in the same plane here.

friend of mine had a ford like this. and it cost more than the car to fix after only 10-15ish years of use. its terrible.

Yeah, that’s just how it goes as the engine becomes more complex, leaving a dipstick there is not gonna change that…

This is a reactionary response, you’re just arguing, slow down a bit.

Do you see a value in a check engine light that tells you something is wrong in between full inspections? This is similar, this is telling you there isn’t enough oil and damage is occurring before you get a chance to inspect the dipstick.

It’s not planned obsolescence unless they also make it unreasonable to service. We already expect to routinely service engines, and they are already very complex and full of sensors, sure this is adding to the complexity but it’s relatively pretty minor.

The argument being made, and I agree with it, is that the benefits of an additional long-serving sensor way outweigh the con of having one additional sensor in your car. You get early warning before damage occurs, you get built in fraud protection when you’re changing your oil at a shady chain, you eliminate a direct access port for dirt to contaminate the oil.
