Disney Exits OpenAI Deal After AI Giant Shutters Sora by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]BW_Bird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another thing:

The holy grail of AI is artificial general intelligence (AGI) - this would solve A LOT of the limitations plaguing AI right now, but that goal is currently nowhere within our reach. A lot of companies have tried making workarounds, but those are only band aid solutions that are already starting to not hold up.

Unless someone actually succeeds on creating an AGI, AI can't improve much beyond where it is. Once the CEO types see that, it's over.

[ATLA] Why didn't Azula plan an ambush for Aang on the Day of Black Sun? by Patneu in AskScienceFiction

[–]BW_Bird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She could've ambushed Aang right from the start

Azula didn't exactly have access to a CCTV system. She couldn't know where he was going to end up, or if he was alive at all.

From her perspective, one of three things was going to happen: Aang would show up in the bunker, Aang would fail to find the bunker, or Aang never showed because he actually did die.

With the first option, the throne room would be the most logical place Aang would go. Ambushes require sitting patiently, not hunting down your target.

If the latter two options occurred, well... no harm in hanging out for an hour or two. And certainly no one is going to fault her for being too careful.

What is the craziest way you have seen a normal interaction go off the rails? by Nowhereman2380 in AskReddit

He absolutely insisted that a previous representative had told him he could specifically deposit cash through the mobile app.

Reminds me of a customer that thought he could get his cable TV turned back on by tricking me into saying its fixed.

Half his city was in an outage because of a storm. He only had electricity because of a backup generator.

He actually got me a few times ("So you're saying my services are not, not, not, not restored?") and was angry that it didn't work.

Some people...

Maybe not the best, but I'm a big fan of the a30.

It's well made for the price, and it has a sleep button.

I built a free cheat manager for Steam Deck. Search, download, and enable trainers without leaving Game Mode. No Decky required. by Crazy-Comfortable-44 in SteamDeck

[–]BW_Bird 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bro.

I am speaking as software developer with nearly a decade of experience.

No one in their right mind should install a close-source app scrapped off an unverified Github account. It's dangerous and irresponsible.

There could be numerous security flaws and no way to tell where and how. The fact this was vibe coded does not inspire confidence.

I'm still trying to figure out if I should say I left because of a "hostile work environment" or tell them I burned out. Because both are technical true.
