😆 That one is also one of my favorites. Pure gold!

Not exactly words of profound wisdom, but still…

“You look like a cut of fuckable meat. Are you?”

Adam Smasher, Cyberpunk 2077

There’s also another great quote from Discworld, where the conversation starts with “expect the unexpected”, but eventually concludes with “expect the expected”. Lots of funny philosophical arguing back and forth.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Bad wording on my part. Carry on downvoting as usual.

Statues can be surprisingly important. For example the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn sparked a lot of controversy in 2006-2007. Estonians saw it as a sign of soviet oppression and wanted to get rid of it. Russians obviously wanted to defend the statue, so all of this resulted several riots and cyber-attacks.

The main point of the post is to ask a question. Apparently that is something people disagree with. Maybe they don’t like what the question implies.

Also known as “narrow AI”. You know like a traffic camera that can put a rectangle on every car in the picture, but nothing else. Those kinds of narrow applications have been around for decades already.

I think I’ve found the one area where LLMs really excel: business books / self help literature. The real life examples in that genre are pretty awful and dragged out as it is, so you can’t really make it much worse, now can you? The information density is kept low to fluff up the page count, and oh boy, are LLMs good at that. So, if you want to become a self help guru, but can’t be bothered to write your own book about magical hotels, marriage advice, productivity tips and communication, LLMs can take care of that for you. Copilot has turned out to work well for projects like that.

If you raise the bar, you’re going to have to read and edit the text manually. You also need to keep track of what has already been mentioned elsewhere and avoid repeating them again, depending on the genre. In business books though, that’s not a problem at all.

BTW, if you wonder about the downvotes, it’s because Asklemmy@lemmy.world isn’t a safe space for AI related discussions. Consider posting somewhere else.

Just when you thought you’ve already seen the bottom of the barrel, the internet proves you wrong. Let me guess, rule 34 applies here as well.

It's just wild. Goes to show how strongly people feel about AI. maybe !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world could be a safe space for a question like this. Wasn't expecting aklemmy to be so hostile though. I mean, I knew there are lots of people who hate AI with a burning passion, but this is a bit much.

That's a common pattern. Countless tasks don't get done because we don't have enough employees, nor the money to hire more. The current employees take care of all the crucial tasks that are basic necessities for the company to survive. The "nice to have" task list is very long, so if AI can take make some crucial tasks easier or faster, that only means that those employees can spend some of their time doing some of the "nice to have" tasks. In cases like these, AI is not taking any jobs from anyone. If your company has no entries in the "nice to have" task list, it means management has zero vision and zero chance of making the company survive the next recession.

LOL, that escalated quickly. I've heard some people use the expression of "a hefty spoon full of salt", but jumping straight to a truck load is pretty intense. Then again, considering the quality you get from Trump, that's actually entirely justified.
