AI is so fucking stupid. The basis for that is a humorous article of alumni who share the names of presidents

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 57 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

lmao

It spat this out because of this article, which notes the amount of times people with those names graduated from UW Madison

One of the future skills people are gonna need is learning how 'AI' works so that they can tell when it is full of shit

Digital archeology is going to be cool as shit in the coming centuries but also very sad.

[-] fox@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

There will be very little in the way of digital archeology from our age. Not much is archived and little of that is archived in a way to survive centuries

We're living in the dark ages

[-] crosswind@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago

That's optimistic. I think one of the more employable/profitable skills is going to be learning how ai works so you can get it to be full of shit in a way that's useful to your boss.

A beaver's dam was sacrificed for this answer

I really, really want to know what a single query costs them. There's no way ad revenue per query comes even close to that number.

I find it funny that the drunk illiterate tailor is the one with the most degrees. What was he doing all that time, writing 5 separate doctoral theses on advanced racism?

[-] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 15 points 5 months ago

he acquired his doctorate in advanced particle racism, you laugh now but wait until you see the results from the large racism collider, he's going to prove the mass of the Hitler particle

Huh, I thought he just studied basic theoretical and applied racism. I didn't know he was working with Calhoun and Fitzhugh on the racist Manhattan Project.

The US if Andrew Johnson actually was a super academic instead of becoming president and sabotaging reconstruction

"Let's go Badgers." - Andrew Johnson, 2012

They let Andrew Jackson in, but not me?

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 7 points 5 months ago

still more accurate than wikipedia

I'm starting to wonder if this isn't deliberate in some sense. People actually learning about and supporting Palestine terrified the American establishment, if they're anti-imperialist, they're anti-US. So flooding the internet with completely and utterly wrong information, making it impossible for people to sift through it all and discover what is actually happening works as a kind of information blackout, without them needing to loudly censor everything and pretend they still have "free speech."

I too like to believe our overlords know what they are doing. Turns out capitalists are actually dumb and don't realize their profit-increasing measures are hurting themselves too until its too late. Selling themselves the rope

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, as much as I'd like to think this is actually planned, far more likely some higher ups who need their assistant's help to check their email were wowed by a slick presentation about how AI is the future and saw how much money they could save automating things with AI without actually checking if it actually works or not.

I've seen this sort of grift "imagine how powerful this could be in the future" FOMO thing a lot before, but this is the first time I think I've seen so many major companies go all in on a technology that isn't proven and only has vague future benefits, not even offering basic competency at the moment. AI might end up being another massive .com bubble of the late 90s/early 2000s, people putting their whole business in the hands of technology that has yet to be proven and losing everything.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
