    When will the AI slop end?

    Most of common information is usually wrong. When programmers gaslight themselves into using it, the code is almost always wrong. Artists are all pissed, because both Nvidia and "Open"AI trained their data on hundreds of terabytes of stolen data too.

    The only ones still satisfied with this, are the top 0.01% billionaires, who continue selling these products to companies, who in turn buy this only because of peer pressure

      I say this as someone in big tech, AI is pushed because it’s an easy lie to keep big companies viewed as innovating to shareholders. I say this knowing that Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon have contributed significantly to AI research in the last few years alongside the obvious contributions of OpenAI - the goal isn’t groundbreaking AI work, but to act as a smoke-screen to show that nothing else has been delivered.

      Google has lost ground in advertising, and is losing customers on many of their services. Amazon is losing ground in cloud computing and in retail. Apple has stagnated with recent poor releases. Microsoft has made ground in cloud, but has struggled in advertising, Xbox, Office, and Windows. They use GenAI to keep their stock price high, otherwise they’d drop like a sack of shit because shareholders would say “what the fuck have you even done in the last half a decade?”

        Yes, the companies have a reputation to protect, but it’s also just a standard hype-cycle. If you pay attention to tech history these things always go in cycles like this.

        Whether the tech is actually useful or not doesn’t actually matter. What matters is whether you can convince investors to fork over the cash with a shiny presentation.

        The tech industry has basically habituated to surviving on selling us bullshit through hype cycles. I think it’s become dependent on them.

          Google fired a co-inventor of it.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timnit_Gebru

          Following her departure, Google held a forum to discuss experiences with racism at the company, and employees reported to NBC News that half of it was spent discrediting Gebru, which they took as the company making an example of her for speaking out. The forum was followed up with a group psychotherapy session for Google’s Black employees with a licensed therapist, which the employees said was dismissive

          It’s a real fucking laugh. It seems Google’s go to response to discrimination is to hire psychs to calm it’s employees. Real cyberpunk corpo shit. “Let’s fix your thinking.”

      I was always taught 350 for 2 hrs but will occasionally do 400 for 1.5 hrs if I’m in a hurry. Also I usually leave out the drummers, they get stuck in my food processor.

    But it literally did nail it?

    It’s giving you a list of the items that were received in the 12 Days of Christmas. And it’s correct.

    12*1=12

    11*2=22

    10*3=30

    And so on.

    If you wanted the lyrics, that’s a different question.

      If I wanted an autistically over-literal answer, I’d either ask myself (or come to Lemmy)

      Only if you assume that everything on the list was additive to the initial gifts every time. I think you can infer from the context of the song, the holiday, how gift-giving works, etc. that they were just appending to the list of gifts each day.

      But those are the sort of things that LLMs are incapable of doing.

        That’s what the lyrics say though.

        On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.

        The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.

          Only if you take it literally and I don’t think it was intended to be taken that way.

    Kinda did depending on how you look at it. 5 golden rings is said 8 times, for a total of 40. Same appears to be true for all the other items but I’m not checking them all.

        Is the pear tree included? Do I get one pear tree? 12 pear trees? No pear tree? This might be a dealbreaker, so take your time answering.

          It’s assumed that you already have a pear tree; the partridges are just being installed into your pre-existing tree. Don’t be greedy. Mature fruit trees are expensive.

    I swear AI chat bots were better in 2023 than they have been in 2024. It feels like they really shit the bed this year. Maybe I’m wrong.

      Tbh I feel like it’s when they attached them to the internet and over burdened them with system prompts.

    That’s right though. Each day you get an increasing number of an item plus all the items from the previous days again.

    Enjoy your birds.
