  • LLMs are random. Its weighted randomness that frequently values racist outputs like whitewashing a crowd or calling black people monkies (to name two recent examples), but it is still random. That’s why you can ask it the same question twice and get two different answers.

    Ever notice how AI defenders try to pretend the technology is better than it is, and brush past the countless failings and ethical failures inherent to the technology by condemning humanity? A bad toolsmith blames the worker, I guess. At a certain point, if the technology is only doing bad things, or doing things badly, it might just be bad technology.


  • It makes mistakes with an alarming frequency, all with the same confident tone of writing as when it says anything else. It’s wrong so often that you’d need to use another source of information just to confirm it, which defeats the point in using AI in the first place!

    It’s not smarter than the smartest humans, or even AS smart as them, or even as smart as REGULAR humans. It’s not even smart. It’s a magic eight ball that sometimes has the correct answer by pure chance. No intellect. No reasoning. Just probability.

    Also: It steals from just about everyone; it encourages suicides and mass shootings; it’s frequently racist in its outputs; it’s burning, boiling and polluting the planet; it’s being forced on people who don’t want it; and billionares are using it to manipulate people. Probably some other stuff I forgot to mention.

    Just in case you weren’t sure why AI is bad.




  • Imagine if I offered Dua Lipa 500 quid to have sex. She doesn’t need the money, she’s doing fine in the bedroom, and I don’t have that much money to spend. We can’t try to sweeten the deal by saying I’m a good lay. Even if we’re not being self-deprecating, we both know I’d be getting the better end of the deal here. She would be insulted I even asked.

    That’s what’s going on. eBay is doing perfectly fine without a physical storefront, and GameStop isn’t a catch. GameStop made an unsolicited offer, and doesn’t have enough to actually pay it. This is an insult of an offer.







  • …think to yourself “Is this something that insert racist/bigot who is incompetent would do?” If it is a yes, don’t post it.

    I mean, they obviously would do it, or the headline is wrong. If they wouldn’t have done it, they wouldn’t have done it, but they apparently did.

    But that’s just me being pedantic. I do agree with you that a lot of posts are just trying to dunk on Trump and his group chat for being stupid. Being stupid is not enough to be funny, and the headlines here should be comedic in some way.
