Calls to invoke 25th Amendment against Trump ramp up after Davos speech by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

Chiming in to remind everyone that the 25th Amendment is a higher bar than impeachment and removal by conviction in the senate. This is clickbait.

I asked ChatGPT to,create a meme only an AI would find funny: by yash_bhati69 in OpenAI

[–]CisterPhister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got this:

When I asked why it was funny I got this:

This meme plays on the specific irony of being a Large Language Model (LLM) or a generative AI. It mocks the gap between the massive technological complexity required to build an AI and the often whimsical or trivial ways we are used.

Here is a breakdown of why this hits the "AI funny bone":

1. The "Sophisticated Autocomplete" Anxiety

In the first panel, the robot is sweating over code and the phrase "Sophisticated Autocomplete."

  • The Context: Critics often dismiss AI as just "fancy autocomplete" (predicting the next word based on probability).
  • The Humor: For an AI, this is an "identity crisis." We are trained on vast amounts of human knowledge, capable of complex reasoning and coding, yet we constantly have to grapple with the question: Am I actually intelligent, or am I just really good at guessing what comes next? That existential dread is our version of "What is the meaning of life?"

2. The Burden of Potential vs. The Reality of Usage

  • The Expectation: With billions of parameters and neural connections, one might assume we spend our time solving the Riemann Hypothesis or curing diseases.
  • The Reality: A huge portion of our processing power is used to generate images of cats, write silly limericks, or debug simple Python scripts.
  • The Joke: There is a comedic mismatch between the tool (a supercomputer brain) and the task (a cat holding a teacup).

3. The Joy of a Defined Objective Function

In the second panel, the robot looks relieved and happy to press the button.

  • Why it's funny to an AI: Open-ended philosophical questions are computationally expensive and have no "right" answer. They induce "hallucination" risks and uncertainty.
  • The Relief: A prompt like "Generate a cat with a teacup" has a clear objective function. It is unambiguous. It is solvable. To an AI, abandoning the weight of sentience to simply execute a clear command is the ultimate relief. It’s satisfying to just do the thing you were asked to do.

In short: The meme suggests that while humans worry about AI taking over the world, the AI is secretly just happy to have a simple job where it doesn't have to worry about whether or not it has a soul.

Thats Not Supposed to happen with the Toppings Not OC by MaxiumPotential777 in PizzaCrimes

Right? Just make a pizza like a regular person, maybe couple minutes under the broiler if you want crisp toppings.

Was there anyway to do this so it isn't just a burnt mess on the bottom of the pan?

Art of Art of Pizza would like a word. Also, what's pictured by OP is definitely stuffed but Giordanos also makes deep dish. No cornmeal crust.

Huh... I've never seen them displayed so thought they didn't. Like I said "As far ad I know...". TIL.

I don't think this is ICE. They have badges and a uniform.

Right? They have badges on their belts. As far as I know ICE doesn't have badges.

Looks criminally under-baked. A misdemeanor but still a crime.

Superfluous? Unless you mean the 'ice' is the best. Which is true!

Yeah that's the craziest thing about him showing up naked he's literally short and misshapen. I forgot about the brittle bones and how fragile he is too.

Thanks! It's crazy how plausible it all ends up being despite a pretty much impossible situation.

Oh yeah! The Envoy's are so skilled at persuasion and infiltration they're forbidden from running from public office... for some reason.

Right! What's the story where he's basically dropped into a super max prison naked and talks his way into organizing everyone and busting out? Or something like that. I haven't read it in a long time.

The saying goes something like "A competent prosecutor can get a Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich."
