    Grok 4 has been so badly neutered that it's now programmed to see what Elon says about the topic at hand and blindly parrot that line.

  • I think the funniest thing anyone could do right now would be for HBO Max to delist the episode of Big Bang Theory he is in, because over two dozen posts he would

    1. Claim he hates streaming
    2. Complain that this is censorship and platforms shouldn't be allowed to remove or restrict content
    3. Talk about the viewing figures and repost the promotion of the currently airing second spin off and the upcoming third spin off
    4. Nonchalantly state that no one likes or cares about The Big Bang Theory anymore or ever did
    5. @jim parsons for help
    6. Someone would mention that an episode revolves around his plans to get someone to Mars by 2020
    7. Delete all these tweets

  • It's an extreme version of the sunk cost fallacy. His believers are the type of people who think that changing your mind is a sign of weakness. For America to pass this period, a lot of these people will expect a Pact of Forgetting type situation so they don't have to answer for what they were encouraging.

  • I find it really frustrating that supporters of Open Protocols appear to live in cognitive dissonance of both wanting to be "used by everyone" and "to be a small gated community".

    You can't keep money out forever and with that does come influence which I know. But eventually wouldn't you like to talk to your mother on a protocol you trust, with a client she understands?

    An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate

    Jump

  • I know there's people who could articulate it better than I can, but my logic goes like this:

    • Loss of critical thinking skill: This doesn't just apply for someone working on a software project that they don't really care about. Lots of coders start in their bedroom with notepad and some curiosity. If copilot interrupts you with mediocre but working code, you never get the chance to learn ways of solving a problem for yourself.
    • Style: code spat out by AI is a very specific style, and no amount of prompt modifiers with come up with the type of code someone designing for speed or low memory usage would produce that's nearly impossible to read but solves for a very specific case.
    • If everyone is a coder, no one is a coder: If everyone can claim to be a coder on paper, it will be harder to find good coders. Sure, you can make every applicant do FizzBuzz or a basic sort, but that does not give a good opportunity to show you can actually solve a problem. It will discourage people from becoming coders in the first place. A lot of companies can actually get by with vibe coders (at least for a while) and that dries up the market of the sort of junior positions that people need to get better and promoted to better positions.
    • When the code breaks, it takes a lot longer to understand and rectify when you don't know how any of it works. When you don't even bother designing or completing a test plan because Cursor developed a plan, which all came back green, pushed it during a convenient downtime and has archived all the old versions in its own internal logical structure that can't be easily undone.

    Edits: Minor clarification and grammar.

  • First of all, the European Data Protection Board have shown they are more than willing to throw their weight around issue large fines and request audits. Second of all, have you actually looked at the types of data data brokers buy and sell? Massive records of IPs, and metrics.

    Like above what "amazing treasure trove of personal data" are you giving up by clicking "I Accept". Search queries of the Plex Free Movie\TV library, watch times of the same free library and whether you click on pre, mid or post roll ads. And who is going to buy and sell this? Ad providers who swear they are providing targeted advertising, but really have quotas and metrics to fill. They will end up showing irrelevant ads anyway, not because of some algorithm, but literally because the advertising industry does not give two shits about click through rates just that ads get shown.

    There's so much bitching in this thread like someone from AdSense or Outbrain has personally murdered a family member, but the truth is, these places are a grift. Annoying, yes, but mostly harmless. Oh and don't try to pull "oh but governments can use this for surveillance" yes they could but as someone who has held a job a federal level tax office, they do not have the budget for profiling people like this and a corrupt government has cheaper and better options.

    I will try my best to respect your opinion and what you think a "right to privacy" means but I have great trouble understanding the paranoia
