Ladies, if your man weighs 4,900 pounds, that's not your man. That's a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali.

So that’s where my money went..,

Was it about tree fiddy?

Well you see in the US, the vehicle just becomes the same legal entity as the owner, after a certain number of years.

EDIT

And when you hit the age you qualify for retriement, well they just roll back 'the odometer', as a kind of traditional joke, reflected in some records.

Bear in mind, these are averages, not medians. They can be thrown off by the relatively few Americans who weigh 100,000,000+ lbs each.

Burgers Georg

[-] asmoranomar@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

At birth I weighed 10 years and aged like 20,000 lbs.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 6 points 3 months ago

By golly, this just shows us that we need AI in everything now!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 80 points 3 months ago

Don't worry, we'll start slowly and responsibly with inconsequential things like medicine and war.

I'm so glad that I invested in a 60 lb bag of cement last year! In 50-59 years, I'm gonna be able to sell this bag for a fortune!

As funny as this is, Gemini was essentially broken on release. For context this is a current response

Its fun to laugh at how stupid it was, but the fact its gotten better honestly just increases the risk that someone will believe a hallucination and bad information proliferates because its embedded in largely good information making it appear trustworthy, and if you don't know the answer then you dont know when it's confidently wrong. And it increases the risk that AI usage will grow as people decide they think its helpful, with harmful implications for the environment and labor.

It would frankly be nice if had stayed that stupid, it would be much less harmful that way

Google models always suck ass, I don't get why people ever glaze it. Or google in general.

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yes its my understanding that other models are generally considered much better. I don't think I've ever really seen anyone glaze Gemini though. If you're talking about my comment you're replying to, I'm not sure I'd agree that saying its now capable of giving a vaguely competent and accurate sounding answer that isnt complete garbage is glazing 😅

Do you see folks aside from google marketing people hyping up Gemini in comparison to other models? (I dont follow things super closely so I may be kinda out of the loop)

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Gemini is near the bottom of the pack for me personally. It once suggested to me that my gasoline powered lawn mower doesn't need an oil change 🙄

[-] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Out of curiosity, which do you think produces the most helpful outputs? I care a lot about how technology harms or helps people, and honestly the more capable ai gets the more I'm concerned that without regulatory guard rails its going to do an incredible amount of harm. So I've tried to at least keep up with vaguely where its at, but I've mostly just used chatGPT, though I've tried to limit my usage cause I don't like the way it feels like it impacts me mentally

Mostly it has seemed better at finding burried information than a search engine, but very unreliable for certain other kinds of tasks. Weirdly it has seemed difficult to predict what kinds of tasks it will perform well, and which it'll butcher

69 pound 1 year old, such a big baby.

Nono, if you're 60-69 pounds old, the average weight is 1 year.

[-] teft@piefed.social 21 points 3 months ago

Anything but metric.

[-] harmbugler@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

Yes but it's a light year.

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

Crap, I'm underweight; time to order at least 296 pizzas.

Anyone got a voucher?

[-] zout@fedia.io 22 points 3 months ago

I can vouch that you won't survive eating 296 pizzas.

[-] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Hopes, deleted....

If David Attenborough was American he would have just turned into a black hole.

[-] darklamer@feddit.org 16 points 3 months ago

American units of measurement are so weird.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You take that back. It's patently untrue and it's evoked at least 10 hamburgers worth of anger from me.

How long is that in parsecs?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 3 months ago

About 17 bananas

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

A 70lb 1 year old, lol.

The rest of this looks like how my kids thought growing up worked when they were really little. They expected to just keep growing, thought I was too, so by now I should be about 30 feet tall and yeah, 5,000 lb.

[-] nuko147@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Shit, I'm underweight. From today, 3 pizzas for dinner every day.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 3 months ago

Hopefully you'll weigh 1 year when the time comes...

The waist is a terrible thing to mind.

[-] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I feel a lot better about myself now. I had gained some weight that I've been trying to lose, but now I find out that I'm significantly under the average for my age range. I have over 500lbs before I'd even hit the average so I'm doing fantastic.

Haters will say it's ai.

Pounds? Get out of here with that. How many elephants?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 3 months ago
[-] atro_city@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago

Everything's bigger there so a Texas pound must be some multiple of a standard US pound.

Billions of dollars.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

Is that pounds sterling or American?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'm not paying that much for an American. They can't spell and they don't know the correct names for vegetables, I'll have so much educating to do, it's not worth it.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I think those are common scores in Calvin Ball.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

At 60, they switch over to units of time. After 70, to metric.

Edit: My bad. After 60 pounds, they reverse polarity.

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

Light years is not a measurement of time it is a measurement of weight.

[-] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Okay, on the one hand, another demonstration that air isn't particularly trustworthy etc... On the other hand though, I feel so skinny!

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

Well, that makes me feel better about being only 264.2 lbs. @ age 46 (and 5'8").

[-] pieland@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago
