I’m gonna guess he has way more than two burners. The dude is an addict, tweeting is all he has.

Not really. A 4K movie means nothing to 99% of people. Is it 4GB? 40? 400? How many can my phone hold? Or my computer?

This only makes things more understandable if you use a point of reference that everyone you’re talking to is familiar with. The fact that they had to then explain how big a 4K movie is in the article clearly shows that even they know that this doesn’t help people. It’s just a big flashy number.

Just for context, I’m a writer, I understand the point of using these abstract measures to give a frame of reference. But in this case, just giving the capacity in GB/TB would have been easier to understand. It just wouldn’t have been as sensational of a headline.

What a useless headline. God forbid they just give the actual capacity rather than some abstract, bullshit, flexible measure that means nothing to anyone.

I deleted all my posts before closing my accounts back when they were breaking third-party apps, although I’m sure they probably kept a private log of all posts specifically for this purpose.

To be honest, I expect AI companies are scraping Lemmy and other places for training data anyway, but I’d rather Reddit specifically not make any money off my posts.

Realistically, a couple of 10TB drives would have me covered for like a decade at least. If these massive drives bring down the price of much smaller ones, I’m a happy boy.

This shit seems like the perfect basis for a discrimination lawsuit.

Maybe it’s time for a grown up CEO.

Yeah, it’s really not good, especially because the people I’ve seen use this stuff the most are the ones who would rarely ever question the quality of the work it does or bother to make sure it’s accurate.

And because managers and business owners see “productivity” increase, they expect that that’s the new standard, and AI will essentially just have made doing quality work harder for everyone involved.

That’s the trick, you don’t read them.

Person A creates an email with AI, attaches a ppt created with AI, and send it to person B.

Person B gets AI to summarise the email and ppt, and create a response.

Repeat.

It’s an ouroboros of shit.

Web 4, now with Grift 2.

Web 4 — it’s web 3 but this time the grift is slightly different.

I’m sure you’re right and it wouldn’t be an issue, but I’m anal about reducing redundancy and complication wherever I can. If I can have one place to charge everything and don’t have to check what belongs to what, I’ll do it.

I don’t have many tools (or any children) but if I’m buying a bunch of battery operated stuff, you can be sure it’s all going to be able to use the same batteries and chargers.

What are the chances that it won’t cause extinction, but will just make things a bit (or maybe a lot) worse for a lot of people?

I don’t think any reasonable people are all that concerned with doomsday scenario as much as with the slow march towards a bullshit future.

That’s fair. You could still have that same functionality through something like double tapping the shift key (like it currently works on iPhones) but I guess that might also be hard for some people on a physical keyboard?

I know they did, and I’ve only heard praise for it.

I’ve even remapped my caps lock on my Mac to be another modifier key. I can still tap it to toggle caps lock, but I don’t think I’ve ever used it for that.

Just replace the caps lock key.

I still don’t get what the compelling use for these is supposed to be. There’s nothing they’ve shown so far that doesn’t seem more awkward and intrusive than it is beneficial, unless maybe if you exist in true isolation at work and at home.

Brain transplants into completely healthy bodies could help too, but since neither are available right now, I don’t get what the purpose of this article is.
