I don’t go out of my way to replace light bulbs with all these smartbulbs that have day/night cycles.
That being said, if they go out, I normally pick a smartbulb because the price difference isn’t that much for all it offers in return.
I’ve been working remotely from 3 to 10 PM and the gradual change in color temperature both from the smartbulb and my screen really helps me take it easy as my shift is ending.
underrated comment.
The post above yours would make more sense if we had reached a Star Trek level of future where the baseline population is educated enough to know what’s best for them and their own rights.
Unfortunately we are so very far away from it, sigh
I still remember a trip I took with my parents to Vancouver and Seattle. We are from Brazil.
The difference was night and day, especially the infrastructure, landscape, and the appearance of the people who worked there. Seattle felt much more somber and gray.
The only ones who seemed overtly happy were the waitresses, but since these jobs in the U.S. rely heavily on tips, it felt more like forced role-play to get extra money compared to the more down-to-earth Canadian customer service.
imitate human speech
Good point on bringing this up. It’s imitation. The moment it needs to make arbitrary decisions it starts committing mistakes due to lack of context, which it doesn’t have because it’s a fucking machine following IF scripts. It is useless in this sense, but AI creators thought they could circumvent this by programming the AI say: “Oh! Sorry, you are correct, it is exactly what you said” after you give it the context only your human persona can grasp.
Had they called this letters or words calculator, it would be much more ethical than calling this AI. Hence why the bubble is bursting, lying to people about it’s capabilities. It is just a new calculator for phrases instead of numbers.
Not sure if I am following the sarcasm, I made it very clear I think AI’s purpose is hyperinflated, and it is a bubble as well, I was just saying it is not completely useless.
IT does give a LOT of false information, but for simple stuff it saves time, that I will not deny.
Well written response. There is an undeniable huge improvement to LLMs over the last few years, and that already has many applications in day to day life, workplace and whatnot.
From writing complicated Excel formulas, proofreading, and providing me with quick, straightforward recipes based on what I have at hand, AI assistants are already sold on me.
That being said, take a good look between the type of responses here -an open source space with barely any shills or astroturfers (or so I’d like to believe) - and compare them to the myriad of Reddit posts that questioned the same thing on subs like r/singularity and whatnot. It’s anecdotal evidence of course, but the amount of BS answers saying “AI IS GONNA DOMINATE SOON” ; “NEXT YEAR NOBODY WILL HAVE A JOB”, “THIS IS THE FUTURE” etc. is staggering. From doomsayers to people who are paid to disseminate this type of shit, this is ONE of the things that mainly leads me to think we are in a bubble. The same thing happened/ is happening to crypto over the last 10 years. Too much money being inserted by billionaire whales into a specific subject, and in years they are able to convince the general population that EVERYBODY and their mother is missing out a lot if they don’t start using “X”.
MOFO is recording a reality show 24/7. Everything he does seems one of those cringy episodes from E! or MTV shows from the 2000-2010s.
If I’m not mistaken, the first time he met with Zelensky he was caught saying “this will make good television” or something like that. Now, what is the exact goal with this? I don’t know… Seems conservative low IQ people like to consume their politics as entertainment programs and that keeps them hooked?
don’t bother, people have been bashing Phil collins since the beggining of time and nobody understands why.
Guy gets called annoying for releasing too many Top 10 hits during the 80s as if that was something bad, go figure how people’s heads work. Why wasn’t Kid rock put on this instead of Phil you ask? Your guess is as good as mine.
