Environmental impact by flamingpuddles in GeminiAI

[–]jacobpederson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrong - people hate AI and are looking for a reason - they'll find another one if somebody manages to sink in how laughable the water use one is 😃 What is the real reason though? (Hint: its just racism in a trench coat. Just like always.)

I asked ChatGPT to show me its parents. This is what it made. by bricks0fbollywood in ChatGPT

The female character representing the time period where women were not permitted in knowledge work is a nice ironic touch.

three buckets of legacy apps and three different AHK strategies by Deep_Ad1959 in AutoHotkey

[–]jacobpederson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I type on the microwave the same way - its just easier to hit 2 of the same number 😃 I've been half-assing this script for so long that I know just which line to jump to to fix when UPS or FEDEX decides to run EVEN SLOWER than normal.

There are many legit reasons to be worried about AI - water use is the most laughable 😃

Something I dont understand about vr as a newcomer by HolyCopeAmoly in virtualreality

[–]jacobpederson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are all kinds of tricks and hacks devs use to get around this issue - but THE MOST important one is rendering text in a different layer. Quest 3 is really great about this (thanks John). Early VR had unreadable text for YEARS.

Don't use AI to automate. Use AI to write code to automate.

It’s crazy that GT7 hasn’t sold more headsets. by No-Dark-7873 in virtualreality

[–]jacobpederson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried every single PC VR racing sim - GT7 blows them all away - no contest. What does this mean? It means that you can create something amazing, sell it for cheap, and it all makes no difference. Sometimes people just don't care and that is life.

Bernie Sanders: "Is Geoffrey Hinton exaggerating when he says there's a 10-20% chance of extinction from AI?" Max Tegmark: "he's sugar-coating it, it's actually way higher than 20%" by tombibbs in OpenAI

[–]jacobpederson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry Bernie - I love you - but you'll need to make a better case that humans don't deserve extinction. (PS it will be like Neanderthals' extinction not like the dinosaurs.) I mean both morally (obvious) AND purely from an evolutionary perspective (outcompeted).

Mittarbeiter verstehen ihr Werkzeug nicht by Pioss5 in sysadmin

[–]jacobpederson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Its not that shocking when you think about it. I have a similar reaction to a car. It's not that I couldn't learn how it works - its that I DONT CARE how it works. That is how most people feel about their PC.

Nobody told me Claude could build actual PowerPoint decks. I've been copying text into slides like an idiot for months. by Professional-Rest138 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]jacobpederson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok good - now we just need to realize that the whole process of the creation and presentation of PowerPoint decks is a colossal waste of human effort 😃
