I just have a hard time picturing things being so different from when I left academia only a couple of years ago. Everybody still had pen and paper notebooks

Bros are living in a fantasy, site was broken wide open years ago.

Ones with orchestras clearly.

Net negative, even. He even died while deflecting a question about gun violence.

Hard to say but generally Linux are more secure, 9 out of 10 times they’d have to be fucking with it from inside the company. More likely some kind of hardware fault causing them to reboot more often.

Can a gas pump…

run doom?

TBF Taco Bell and other large chains can afford to be their own distributors and not have to pay interest on financing their vehicle fleets (although they might do that anyways if their accountants decide the interest rate is lower than the RoR of investing the cost of the vehicle minus down payment).

A food truck guy pays interest on his truck, and they pay whatever distrubutors and vendors charge for supplies.

Does not matter, all useless.

We’re talking about different things. This article is about Language Models. The discussion is about Language Model.

If you ask a language model via prompt to organize patterns and create models you will get slop that small children would recognize is wrong. It’s garbage.

Unlike vaccines, AI has no use case and is always a net negative.

Even if it’s only a receipt for 18,000 waters or it fills up a screen it costs them time and resources.

Every single AI halucinates, always has and always will. It’s useless for this.

I would definitely bet against that because the article states they’re not putting any AI in the drive through going forward.

The article quotes an executive saying they’re indeed backing down, just like McDonalds did the year before when they tried this.

Taco Bell doesn’t compete with mexican food, it competes with Jack in the Box and Taco Johns, perhaps anywhere that has a salad bar.

Because it costed them money, lol. The suits upstairs gave a quote in the article talking about how they will withdraw AI from all 500 locations they were implemented, and it also talks about how McDonalds did the exact same little dance over a year ago.

To the uninformed sure.

Nobody subsidizes on the same scale as what China is doing. Nobody operates entire market sectors at a loss for strategic advantage. The reason why China is doing this is because they’re comfortably in the lead among world powers and can afford to lose a bit, and also: everything is a weapon in their eyes, and they’re determined to use their weapons on everyone else.

EDIT: Although I do admit the Oil Industry is pretty equally cutthroat, Saudis weaponize crude and Russia weaponizes Natural Gas.

I mean

have you met the Chinese president for life? Feels like a really weird line you’ve drawn between acceptable and not acceptable.

I’m sure it’s got nothing to do with Elon Musk unironically promoting nazis.

Basically appartment developers used to be required to supply parking for residents near transit lines, but now aren’t. Personally, I would make it hard to charge people for parking: people who drive win and also eliminates profit incentive to build parking.
