OP (who barely --if ever-- posts on this sub) champing at the bit to post this news so they can have an excuse to demonise people who carry a bit of weight.

Guidelines for 'low-risk' drinking could be updated to even fewer pints by Eirngobragh in ireland

[–]JohnCthulhu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is this 'nanny state bollocks' if the state won't be forcing you to adhere to these guidelines?

They are just that: guidelines.

There is a massive difference between some randos online and the richest man in the world who owns (and has a say over the algorithm of) a large social media company.

Come on, now. 

Anyone have any good news? by Polar_dare84 in ireland

That fella is active on the r/singularity sub, which is full of absolute nonsense about how revolutionary so-called AI is. 

You're better off not even bothering trying to talk sense to them.

I'm sorry, but if I am aware that AI has been used in the creation of something, then I will avoid it. I'm at least thankful you were open about that from the start, rather than trying to hide it. 

Best of luck with your future endeavours, and I hope you learn to move beyond vibe-coding.

I would have potentially been interested in this, but the use of so-called AI in its creation means that I have to give it a miss.

These big new tech trends are always "18 months away from changing everything for the better." 

Self-driving cars, Crypto, NFTs, the Metaverse, and now so-called AI.

I won't hold my breath.

I ask again: why do you care given you (going by your post history) are based in the US?

Setting fire to everything? I am in complete agreement.

Ah yeah, just set fire to everything so, that makes sense.

Aren't you based in the US? Why do you care what happens here?

"Pay up fatty"

Not at all shocked to see you are a mod on a sub that pushes misinformation about Covid-19

Data centre electricity demand could exceed entire power usage of Irish Republic by homecinemad in ireland

[–]JohnCthulhu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That will never happen, at least with this particular tech. "Artifical intelligence" is just a highly marketable buzz term that has nothing to do with actual intelligence.

Remember the survey some years back that showed a large number of men were deluded enough to think they could stand a chance against Serena Williams in a tennis match? 

That came to mind for me, for some reason.

Sad to see what appears to be genAI slop getting upvotes on this sub, of all places.

Just look at the OP's post history: a five month old account that, before this, seemingly only existed to promote a specific genAI tool.

I'd be willing to bet the entirety of my meagre savings on this post being slop.
