lol yeah, I am in a position where I can say stuff like that. also he generally tends to listen as long as people actually have a point. but he is super pro AI.

he didn’t really have a response to it. he doesn’t seem to get that not everything needs to be AI. he thinks it will enable people to do more better work, and kind of seems to ignore the possibility that not everybody will get to use it like he does - some people will have to validate the output. he seems to think that it will get to the point where people don’t need to validate the output, it will be like entering numbers into a calculator and the result is trusted (or, at least certified good enough).

do you have one that you recommend?

I told the owner of the company recently that, and I quote, “I will fucking kill myself if my job becomes reviewing AI output”

could you maybe expand on pretty much every single sentence you wrote

I’d love to read it

see the problem is when I do a big run, I have four of those huge tote bags

hell the last one that was packed up at Costco, the lady did a fantastic job stacking things neatly… but it was damn near 60lb. hazards of packing up with the bag already in the cart lol

and at the time, that was only a third of the way through Nolan’s career as a blockbuster director. not even, actually

I thought they wanted people to use their products?

this just pushes people away.

that function is just reskinned OCR, though

which I guess you could consider as AI and that it is a similar training data structure? not my area lol

I do also think that AI has some use as a search engine. I haven’t used it much for this purpose at all, but a while back there was a specific type of engineering analysis I needed to do, and I couldn’t remember the exact terms or topics to look up. chat GPT got me into the right area so I could look at the appropriate resources. in that specific scenario, it was better than a standard search engine

Of course once I found the materials I was looking for, I stopped using the chat bot and you know use those materials

that’s how I understand it as well. but I’m not familiar with using wishlists or Amazon anymore so I can’t be sure that’s what it means

but, uh, yeah this seems fine?

they’re adding functionality by allowing wishlists to use third party sold items. you don’t have to use third party sellers, just don’t put those on your list

as long as this is clearly explained and identifiable on product pages, and it can’t change without you knowing about it and having time to respond, this seems fine?

no problem, I’ll just use apps from outside of the App Store, right?

well fuck, so yeah they just don’t work for me

last time I tried I took 30mg in an hour and I couldn’t tell if what I felt (calmness) was placebo or just because it was a beautiful fresh snowy evening

they won’t let them do that, but they’ll dump all sorts of garbage into the ocean

honestly, in today’s world and in this context, it’s often the same thing

if you’re ignorant of what these smart devices are doing in [current year], you’re almost definitely stupid for choosing to be ignorant of it. it’s been a whole decade of this stuff now. you’ve been exposed to it, and you’ve made the chose to remain ignorant.

if one of them was really big, it’s okay it averages out

thanks for the reminder. I’m standing here leaning on the counter in front of my fridge browsing lemmy and in need of a snack

now I’ve got two different types of pickles out to snack on. excellent.

yeah I sat there for a few seconds trying to figure out the relevance

turns out, it wasn’t relevant

instant loss of attention and judging of their character

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this in Ontario

wink wink nudge nudge

I was almost gonna say something about killing nazis, but…

nah, not as american

no, the boring guy
