I don’t know if heads are actually going to roll, but the guy who was in charge of the Vision Pro is now in charge of Siri.

It doesn’t seem like you’re really replying to what i wrote.

I’m not saying they don’t have applications. But the idea of them being a one size fits all solution to everything is something being sold to VC investors and shareholders.

As you say - the issue is accuracy. And, as you also say - that’s not what these things do, and instead they make predictions about what comes next and present that confidently. Hallucinations aren’t errors, they’re what they were built to do.

If you want something which can set an alarm for you or find search results then something that responds to set inputs correctly 100% of the time is better than something more natural-seeming which is right 99%of the time.

Maybe along the line there will be a new approach, but what is currently branded as AI is never going to be what it’s being sold as.

I’m in the middle of moving, but once I’m set up I’m going to look into dual booting. I’m not sure I’ll 100% be able to get rid of windows, though. For a start, I’ve heard NVIDIA is a nightmare on Linux and I’ve only recently got a new computer so i don’t really want to buy more hardware.

Hopefully dual booting will allow me to experiment and try alternatives for software which doesn’t have a Linux version, and i hear that one of the things that chatbots are actually good at is diagnosing and fixing Linux issues. So I’m hopeful, but I’m not assuming it’ll be entirely painless.

And now LLMs being trained on data generated by LLMs. No possible way that could go wrong.

I’ve never found them to be more performant, and i can’t understand the logic of why a programme running inside another programme would be more performant except in comparison to unoptimised alternatives.

I’ve never used a web app that i thought was better than a local app. But i definitely understand why developers prefer them.

I’ve no idea if they’ve changed course again. I went there out of curiosity after this post but it’s all hidden behind a log in screen and i couldn’t be arsed to sign up or try to remember or find my credentials.

But since you don’t really want to hide your content if you’re small and trying to grow, I’m going to assume that it’s insular and doesn’t want people to stumble on its content.

I blame the producers. if they’d just done one film per book all would have been fine

Divergent is a terrible series that Shailene Woodeley absolutely acts her socks off in

I don’t think Vance is a useful idiot. That implies that he doesn’t understand the consequences of what he’s doing. He’s nominally second in command of a party that’s working to ultimately put his wife and kids in camps. I think he understands what he’s doing. He’s just gambling on it being successful enough and retaining enough power that he won’t personally see those consequences.

Daredevil never really landed for me, but i still welcome this very much because they’re apparently bringing back the rest of the Defenders and one thing i did love was Jessica Jones.

Squabblr’s the one where the owner wuickly outed himself as a right-wing transphobe and caused a mass-exodus of early adopters, wasn’t it?
