bring back 00's google search that shit was smarter than any of these ais

[-] misk@sopuli.xyz 24 points 2 months ago

Google Now and Google Inbox did stuff that’s beyond what can be achieved in AI in practice now. Both shut down due to being unprofitable XD

[-] junkthief 7 points 2 months ago

Aw I miss Google inbox 😢 time to put a flower on the google graveyard 🪦😋

[-] Hukapapa@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Have you tried one of the google search alternatives?

  • kagi
  • Quant
  • Ecosia
  • duckduckgo

Of course they can not compensate for the shithole the whole internet has become

The money in AI is going to be the wages of the people it replaces. Those tech billionaires call it a revolution because getting labor without wages is the promised land for cunt billionaires.

The AI revolution is here because that's what the owners want. If you think they'll wait until the AI is as good as humans to replace humans I'll point out that self-checkout already exists.

The big problem here is that it's simply not reliable enough to replace a worker because you have to have the AI running unsupervised to actually replace anyone and it can't be done with the current technology and something that can actually replace workers is not coming in the next 5 years or so and I'm being generous.

“[Generative AI] is the leaded gasoline of tech, where the boost to engine performance didn’t outweigh the horrific health impacts it inflicted.”

I love Ed so much.

OpenAI loses money on every single paying customer, just like with its free users. Increasing paid subscribers also, somehow, increases OpenAI's burn rate. This is not a real company.

so are you telling me use it for bogus shit programatically en masse until they bleed dry?

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

It's almost as if the "aRtIfiCiAl iNtElLiGenCe" is as big a cult as blockchain is, isn't it?

And I already have the next bubble ready: https://youtu.be/wSHmygPQukQ

There could be an AI revolution. Send Elon and the rest of the billionaires into orbit, and they'll revolve around the Earth; they're all artificially intelligent, after all.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I'd prefer that revolution be a decaying orbit around the sun.

[-] Gormadt 9 points 2 months ago

Hitting the sun is surprisingly difficult

Launching into deep space knowing that they'll never enter another star system on the otherhand...

Look launching our billionaires into deep space is no better than interstellar littering.

We should be better than that.

I bet we could launch them into Jupiter or Saturn no problems.

I mean, I never said anything about space suits or capsules, so the destination could be wherever!

[-] MrJgyFly@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Stellar read. So OpenAI et al keep going at the current rate, and there’s never any profit—when does it burst? How spectacular does it burst? Or will we simply have laid off a significant portion of the tech workforce and then it fizzles away?

[-] Gecko4469@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Magnificent

Is there an audio version other than TTS? I know Ed does podcasts but the newsletter isn't one of them.

[-] misk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

His last couple of podcasts were basically his blog posts so it might be a matter of waiting a bit until it catches up.
