  • Exactly.

  • companies whose products are pretty much wrappers for ChatGPT

    Yeah, once the rents go up for access to ChatGPT, et al, (as they inevitably will) a lot of those companies are in for a rude awaking.

  • AI/ML is addicted to CUDA. AMD and even Intel have viable alternatives in terms of raw compute performance, but they'll never natively support CUDA, and that's what most of the software tooling is focused right now.

  • Shit like this is here to stay

    Of course. Just like VR, AR, the Metaverse, NFTs, cryptocurrency, and hundreds of other boom-and-bust, hype-cycle remnants. "AI" is a bubble. "AI" will burst. The tech will continue, just without the hype and the cohort wildly over-funded moonshot start-ups.

    I look forward to the day when ROI-focused tech executives aren't trying to cram non-intelligent LLMs into roles where they do not excel. Let people find their own uses, on their own terms for these things. Perhaps someday people will train bespoke, subject-specific ML tools on their laptops in a matter of minutes with a single click, and it will be an unremarkable part of their day. I'd like to see that.

  • Oh no, they might dox the PM, call him a lolcow, and SWAT 10 Downing.

  • Yes, the young men who followed Trump in 2024 are becoming disillusioned and discouraged by their continued financial problems and broken promises about smashing elite pedophiles. Their lives are still miserable, and their heroic crusade seems to have ended without a satisfied conclusion.

  • Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn't know about Cracker Barrel already?

  • When you own all three branches of the government, have deported thousands of innocent, disenfranchised people, and you've got civil liberties and democracy on the ropes, but your whole shtick is grievance and vengeance, you get nonsense like this. They need more to things to get mad at to feed the monkey on their back.

  • how stupid

    There's that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.

  • The Federation's version of Moon Knight.

  • "Uh hi, is Bev home?"

  • Heading over to my friend's house to watch Star Trek

  • "CAMEO! Don't even think about it... we've got the place surrounded!"

  • ... even though we don't deserve it.

  • 🎶 When you walk away, you don't hear me say"Please, oh baby, don't mix denims and delicates!" 🎶
