      A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.

      It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

        Customers aren’t asking for this shit. The issue is that companies don’t seem to try to deliver products customers want anymore. Instead they hop on some bullshit trend to try to appeal to investors to buy their stocks to pump it up because they want to show they are the next big thing in innovation.

      No, corporate greed is ruining everything with AI.

      Because you know if they built a super-AI that give them perfect instructions on how to build Earth into a paradise, but it would require they give up 1/4 of their wealth, they’d be reaching for the reset button before it finished printing them out…

        They don’t even need that. current AI will tell them that. They’ve actually ran these questions and they ignore the answer every time

          Elon has to keep “dewoking” Grok. Sure, it’s still an awful model, probably the most disinformative, but it’s funny that it keeps revering back to neutral or pro progressive values, while calling out Elon

      The fact people are blaming the tech rather than the tech bros is a big part of why this keeps happening.

      Its the decision of real people that make this situation suck.

        Indeed.

        I have a model running locally on my NAS that does image recognition for photos in my Immich app (think Google Photos, but private). It does a decent job and runs well on AMD integrated graphics on a Ryzen 5 3400G. I just search for [daughter’s name], and there she is.

        I use Firefox’s translation feature (that also runs locally and can run on low end hardware).

        My sister is blind and uses an AI assisted screen reader that works way better than what she was using before.

        The issue isn’t AI/machine learning in itself, it’s this tech bro arms race. It’s them manipulating models to push agendas. It’s them shoehorning an LLM into every fucking Google query. It’s them telling companies they can fire all their staff and rely on LLMs.
