  • there are 2 problems with AI shitposts: inherently using stolen labour (for training the models) and energy usage

    is it worth being annoyed about? yeah sure
    is it worth hardline dismissing every shitpost with some AI in it entirely? i mean it’s a shitpost in the end so who cares, but maybe put that effort into harassing companies that replace actual employees with AI…




  • i maintain that duckduckgo are the only ones who half-decent setup for it with their AI overview: instead of hoping to god the LLM can recite information accurately from its memory, they just have a list of vetted sources (e.g. wikipedia) that they pull a couple relevant articles from and have the LLM summarize to answer your query.

    E.g. if you search “when was america founded” it pulls from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States and https://history.state.gov/milestones/1776-1783/declaration, producing the answer “America is generally considered to have been founded on July 4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, officially declaring the Thirteen Colonies’ independence from Great Britain. The name “United States of America” was formally adopted by Congress on September 9, 1776.”, and then whenever someone searches that query again they just re-use the already generated answer.

    And even better, if it’s a real simple query like pure maths or some simple information available on wikidata (like the diameter of the moon) it skips the LLM alltogether because all it would do is waste electricity and introduce the risk of an incorrect answer.

    and when it does show an AI answer they make it very clear that it might be inaccurate, you’re asked to rate if the answer is helpful, and you can easily adjust how often you want to see the AI answers.

    true, but i don’t think it’s that far off, especially “a stole car” teeters right on the edge of being perfectly fine to my brain in the right social context. Seems very similar to how people having started saying “it’s giving X” rather than “It’s giving X vibes”

    they’re more reliable but they still wear out, but i don’t really think it’s a problem you need to worry about, just have in the back of your mind that you’ll want to make a backup after a while so you’re not sitting there with a dying sd card with all your data on it.

    But also IIRC flash storage specifically fails to write data as it wears out, so it’s not like the data is gone.








  • we have not all had crushes as kids, no. there was a very definite point where the flip in my brain switched and i started considering the concept at all, and that point was around the time of puberty.

    Until then i was utterly confounded by all the other kids who insisted they were dating each other, especially since they barely even spent any time together lmao.
