Ever wonder why websites that use Captchas prefer pictures of cars, busses, crosswalks, stop signs, bicycles, motorcycles and stairs?

They’re using YOU to train their AI models.

Also, bring back gauges, instead of idiot-lights. It’s nice to know when a problem is beginning (overheating, etc) before it becomes a crisis when you have no choice but to pull over.

Nothing like having a “Supreme Court” where you can yoink their funding if they don’t give you the ruling you want.

I’m perfectly fine with storing media on flash drives. Optical disks just adds an unnecessary step between me and enjoying my movies.

If the point of taking drugs is to “enhance your performance” then Biden took every drug he should NOT have taken before that debate.

Well, what are we supposed to do? Choose a presidential candidate who was born after the Battle of the Bulge?

“Free ad-supported” makes you no different than a hundred other garbage-tier streaming services.

It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

There are a lot of books that are out of print, especially reference books. And if you look for them on Amazon or eBay, they’ve been snapped up by scalpers who are reselling them for obscene profit.

Either make the books available for sale or quit complaining about “copyright infringement.” But whatever you do, quit hoarding knowledge like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold.

Or . . . you load that old save game and think, “oh yeah. NOW I remember why I stopped playing this.”

I’m not interested in anything that’s “Co-Pilot enabled.”

The whole point of the Turing test, is that you should be unable to tell if you’re interacting with a human or a machine. Not 54% of the time. Not 60% of the time. 100% of the time. Consistently.

They’re changing the conditions of the Turing test to promote an AI model that would get an “F” on any school test.

Each conversation lasted a total of five minutes. According to the paper, which was published in May, the participants judged GPT-4 to be human a shocking 54 percent of the time. Because of this, the researchers claim that the large language model has indeed passed the Turing test.

That’s no better than flipping a coin and we have no idea what the questions were. This is clickbait.

Tesla “shareholders” clearly don’t have the interests of their company in mind if they’re approving a 56 billion dollar compensation package for their “CEO.”

If Microsoft cares so much about security, then WTF are they doing greenlighting a project like CoPilot / Recall?

I wish I had 44 billion dollars to burn.

This is the story with every company that Elmo acquires. Musk doesn’t care whether the company succeeds or not. He just wants that bong-hit of attention he gets from having his name in the news.

Ironically, Twitter was his best chance of making that work, but he’s too stupid to even run a social media network. This is like farking up running a casino.

Just don’t give companies that don’t respect your privacy access to your private life. Keep your online life completely separate from your real life. It’s not that difficult.

Let’s see: Socialism: A system of government where the country’s wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that’s capitalism. I don’t know how I got those two systems confused.

Don’t store your personal stuff online. If you want to share stuff, send it directly and encrypt it.

Well . . . the smart people they ignored when CoPilot was first proposed.
