LLMs certainly hold potential, but as we’ve seen time and time again in tech over the last fifteen years, the hype and greed of unethical pitchmen has gotten way out ahead of the actual locomotive. A lot of people in “tech” are interested in money, not tech. And they’re increasingly making decisions based on how to drum up investment bucks, get press attention and bump stock, not on actually improving anything.
The result has been a ridiculous parade of rushed “AI” implementations that are focused more on cutting corners, undermining labor, or drumming up sexy headlines than improving lives. The resulting hype cycle isn’t just building unrealistic expectations and tarnishing brands, it’s often distracting many tech companies from foundational reality and more practical, meaningful ideas.
Bacon on Ice Cream works, but the Ice Cream Machine at McDonald’s don’t
Ai should have thought of this fact on its own
But that sounds delicious… completely unbelievable that their ice cream machine was working though.
After I’ve seen videos of how infrequently those machines are cleaned, and the ice machines for their drinks too, I just don’t want anything from these fast food places.
Basically mold growing inside the deep to clean areas, which never get accessed, and then you trust a bunch of immature teenagers to clean to a proper specification?
Nope. End result is mold.
Same for the big metal tea dispensers. I had some very nasty looking stuff come out of one of those while filling up a cup one time and it made me never trust fast food drinks again.
I used to not think it was much of a problem, because the people running the restaurant I worked at in highschool and college put such a strong emphasis on keeping everything clean so it never even
croasedcrossed my mind that things could be that bad.When I was a teenager, we put vodka into the shamrock shake mix, because “it wasn’t irish enough”.
Big hit with the local teens who frequented our mall McDonalds. How we got away with no criminal charges, now that I’m thinking about it 20+ years later, I have NO idea. I was 16 at the time. I think even the shift leader was only 19. And no matter what age we were, we were still knowingly selling alcoholic drinks to minors.
The only one I ever made up an excuse for, is when this mom wanted a shake for her 7 year old. THAT one I was like “Uhhhhhh, ya know what? Our shake machine is actually broken…yep…ignore the employees behind me serving shakes from it right now.”
She started yelling at me for discriminating against her, and being a lazy employee. Alright. Cool. I’ll take that heat. Because even I wouldn’t serve vodka to a 1st grader. As terrible of a teenager as I was, I guess I still had some limits.
They’re making it sound like putting bacon on ice cream is a bad thing.
Yeah, that’s just called emergent behavior and it’s a good thing
A buddy of mine made bacon ice cream once, but um… I think they did it wrong. It was bad. Really really bad.
Denny’s offers this. Or use to.
Im pretty sure this is a click bait headline since a certain percentage of people see the appeal of bacon on vanilla ice cream.
Vanilla is key here, I’m one of those people. Tried it with chocolate ice cream once it was not stellar
theres a cute programm, call the goblin chef. if you feed it ingredients, along with amounts, and numbers of people to cook for, it spits out some neat recipes.
But it specifically warns you that it cant actually taste things. If you list ice and bacon, it’ll probably combine those two into a dish. (although now i doesnt recognize “one fresh kitten” as an ingredient anymore q.q)
Bacon and ice cream go great together and I refuse to pretend they don’t.
I still miss midnight snack ice cream. Potato chips covered in chocolate. Delicious
Gross, but i don’t wanna kink shame you uwu
Well, what’s the problem. They have bacon and they have ice cr… oh I see the error now. Just add a generic response the ice cream machine is broken and move on!
I love to see those quotes around “AI”. We need much more of that at least.
I mean, even Google AI says it’s not bad, and in concept I kinda agree. I’ve had bacon donuts before and it was legit
