Oh. no, I’m not saying that this is something that Trump would say, it just has all the cadence of someone with early onset dementia. It is written like how he speaks, thus “Trump’s Speech Writer” and not Trump himself.

I think I found Trump’s Speech Writer’s account.

I mean, sure, fine, maybe they don’t, but goddamn, their lead in is atrocious:

The datacenter industry is set to emit 2.5 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide between now and the end of the decade, three times more than if generative AI had not been developed.

Yeah, and the automobile industry would produce significantly less if the car had never been invented.

I’m sorry for the snark. For some real numbers, in 2019, global air flight was just a hair under 1 billion. That is significantly higher than the emissions for datacenters. I’m not trying to say that we shouldn’t be looking at the carbon footprint of data centers. What I’m saying is that if your lead in is “This is more because if we didn’t have it there would be less,” you don’t have a strong premise to stand on. That is poor journalism, and like the majority of other things I see related to AI, it’s there to get clicks, because AI is a hotbutton issue, and it’s easy to be on the side that rails against it.

You know how everyone makes jokes about how all you have to do to get funding for your new company is to throw “AI” into the company name? Well, turns out the same goes for clicks. Motherfuckers will read anything as long as it’s about how bad AI is.

I wonder if they could have a super hot, super dense core that gives them the chance of an atmosphere and a warm surface. Bioluminescent everything. It would be like looking at a blacklight poster on heated seats.

If you are on desktop and you aren’t sure how it works, try out this Wiki page and in the top right corner you can see an “eyeglasses” looking icon. Click that and set it to Automatic or Dark.

That isn’t a false statement at all. They didn’t say they stopped selling it in 2014, only that it was released then.

I did tech support for Sprint and the training was laughable. In the end, the goal was to get the customer to hang up, or pass the call to another equally untrained department. At the end of the day, all they cared about is whether or not you upsold the family plan and talked the customer into adding a new line, which is why I eventually was fired.

Before anyone jumps on the Anti-Musk train, read the article, please. They admit that they don’t understand the complications that could arise and that they don’t have any hard figures for the damage being caused. I’ll be the first to jump in and say that it’s probably a bad thing to just let metals burn in in atmo, but let’s make sure we discuss the facts, and not just the politics of the potential polluter.

There is one dude with a Windows 8 laptop that turns it on once per month just to take this survey.

Letting the installer autonomously adjust the recovery partition may open up vulnerabilities where malicious software can be placed in recovery. I don’t know how accurate that is, but it makes sense to me, and would be why they want it done on a case by case basis as needed and not just a mass fix to all installs whether they need it or not.

Don’t cram touchscreens and smart features into every fucking aspect of your car. Keep your costs low, keep prices low, and believe it or not, you’ll tap into the “bottom” 60% of the market that has been forced to buy used for the last 10 years. I don’t want a base trim 10 year old Honda Accord with 150k miles, but it’s all I can find for under $20k.

It’s fucking crazy cause my city just put e-ink displays on bus stops and I thought it was because they were going cheap, I guess not, though.

I don’t ever get them either. Not even when my favorite bands release new albums. People that get militant over this are rarely users and are just people who want a reason to shit on whatever is fashionable.

I’m getting really tired of this shit. These images are so heavily cherry picked. If you put those prompts into Midjourney you may get things similar, but they aren’t going to be anywhere near that. My guess: someone used the copyrighted images as part of the prompt, but is leaving that bit out of their documentation. I use Midjourney daily, and it’s a struggle to get what I want most of the time, and generic prompts like what they show won’t get it there. Yes, you can roll the prompt over and over and over again, but coming up with something as precise as what they have is a chance in a million on your first roll or even 100th. I’ll attach the “90’s cartoon” prompt to illustrate my point.

The minion bit is pretty accurate, but the Simpsons is WAAAAY off. The thing is, that it didn’t return copyrighted images, it returned strange amalgams of things that it blends together in its algorithms. Getting exact scenes from movies isn’t something it’s going to just give you. You have to make an effort to get those, and just putting in “half-way through Infinity War” won’t do it.

At best that falls under fair use. If a human made it, it would be fanart, and not copyrighted scenes. This is all just lawyers looking to get rich on a new fad by pouring fear into rich movie studios, celebrities, and publishers. “Look at this! It looks just like yours! We can sue them, and you’ll get 25% of that we win after my fees. Trust me, it’s ironclad. Of course, I’ll need my fees upfront.”

That was exactly what happened. Once I realized it, I smacked my forehead.

There is a chaotic part of myself that does the merge. I both loathe and enjoy that part of myself.
