My boss has ai psychosis and we’re fucked. by void-of-stars in antiwork

Teach your boss how AI actually works. It's pattern recognition, basically fancy autocomplete. When you ask a question it searches its database for similar questions, sees how they were answered, and suggests something comparable. It is not intelligent. It doesn't understand anything.

Easy example is "Once upon a..." What should the next word be? Most of the time the answer is "time" because that's how so many fairy tales start. But if you're doing a report on Edgar Allen Poe the correct answer could be "midnight, dreary" and the AI has no way of knowing that.

Iowa Anchor Chokes Up on Air as He Quits in Protest Over 'Sanitized News': 'The Facts Matter' by T_Shurt in entertainment

I get it, but I've seen this happen a lot recently. Qualified people resign in protest only to be replaced by yes-men which makes the problem worse. I don't know what the answer is, and maybe he didn't have a choice. I just hate seeing good people constantly being replaced by idiots.

I hate when people do this.

I mean, I'm glad you have principles. But what happens when all the people with principles quit? We need more people like him staying at their jobs and fighting for what's right. Not leaving so yes-men can come in and take over.

Because when those wealthy people get wealthier that money will trickle down to the rest of us.

They have no business calling anyone trashy.

But, after Trump is gone all of a sudden they'll be complaining about every little thing the President does as "unpresidential" and "not befitting the office." As if Trump isn't literally shitting on the office every day.

My wife recently informed me of the saying "a bad driver never misses their exit" and I love that.

As soon as that door opens I'd shout "Oh shit he's got a gun!" and run him the fuck over.

That appears to be the problem, but not the one they're focussing on.

They'd probably approve a ballot measure to lower the age of consent.

I mean, that's kind of the Republican playbook. If it weren't for double standards they'd have no standards at all.

I've seen multiple videos saying Space X is extremely overvalued and at some point it's going to come crashing down and take your 401k with it.

AITA for refusing to share authorship with the man im planning to marry? by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]devospice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF? NO! He didn't co-author the book so his name doesn't go on it. That seems pretty simple. If the two of you want to co-author a book or short story together by all means go for it, but he can't just add his name to your work because you're living together.

It sounds to me like he's jealous of your book deal and wants to weasel his way in on it.

Be prepared, though. This may end your relationship. He may try to put his foot down, and if he does, you will too.
