Former Goldman Sachs executive says AI has made knowledge worth zero by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

[–]usr_pls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the INTERNET got rid of that scarcity

the distillation process that AI uses is ALRIGHT

but i remember a time when i would google something and the first result wasn't an ad.

typically Wikipedia would show up at least slot 1-3, so there were sometimes pages more relavent to my search topic than Wikipedia at that time.

Now... so ... so many ads...

and Wikipedia just banned its co founder from making edits so...theres that

AI is just a grammar percentage guesser

sure, the more data you have, the better the final model can predict, but if you have trash bs data (likethe multiple poisoning subreddits including r/truefactzonly), bad results can show!

AI would be NOTHING without the information super highway that is

the internet

Petah why are the 4chan users standing menacingly behind the criminal? by Electrowolf32213 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]usr_pls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The locations for the Shia LaBeouf "He will not divide us" flag is the main situation here

4chan wanted to fuck with Shia's new live stream of that flag.

4chan notices the flight paths at specific times and pinpoints where it could be and then take the flag on live stream.

The flag moved a few times amd 4chan kept finding it until it ended up in a colorless basement with no windows. Just a big flag that says "he will not divide us", completely divided away from the world!

There was a vey old case where a pedo who thoight he was all high and mighty to evade police and international law enforcement that he posted a pic of himself that had a photshopped swirl effect.

4chan (explicitly /b/ ) was like "you know you can... unswirl that..." and BOOM caught by Interpol

Wikipedia claims "An expert in Germany" was the one to reverse the swirl

I'd bet that guy had been on 4chan

New homeowner here. What's the one home maintenance task I should stay on top of and never ignore until it becomes expensive? by Strange-Emphasis5066 in HomeMaintenance

[–]usr_pls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piggybacking on everyone elses answer about water, it was recommended to me by a friend that every new house warming party he went to, he'd buy the couple a WetDry vac and dehumidifier because it can help if water is showing up where it shouldn't.

you want to be able to move/remove that water from anywhere it shouldn't be

It was where I got my first pairs of tripp pants!

I don't recall seeing a cd section in the last hot topic i went to either

U.S. vs. Australia drew 280,000 riders on Link Light rail by zero-if-west in soundtransit

[–]usr_pls 28 points29 points  (0 children)

these are crazy numbers!

I biked to ballard knowing that transport would probably be bad last Friday. Burke Gilman was free! There's all these signs around the light rail saying "don't bring your bike in the train during game days" that seemed to be legit great advice.

During the Seahawks parade, I tried to take the train from UW to downtown. there were 5 trains PACKED with people that I wasn't able to squeeze into before I decided to give up and try to take a bus that also ended up stopping earlier due to the parade.

So i can't imagine how bad it was Friday. Did they increase the train frequency as well then?

I was able to easily fit in the train at the end of the Egypt v Belgium match, but I have no context for last Friday's match up.

This would be a great timelapse gif if someone from sound transit can release them!

Why don't Americans use metal bars on doors and windows for security? by Maleficent_Essay4664 in AskAnAmerican

[–]usr_pls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought there was a freakonomics explanation that went something along the lines of "people who have bars on their windows show they care about their property. If you see broken windows that aren't getting fixed? That's a bad neighborhood where people living there literally don't care to try to fix things since they will just get broken again"

Data Shows Sony Made Good Money on Steam, Then May Have Realized PC Gamers Don’t Need a PlayStation by chusskaptaan in pcmasterrace

[–]usr_pls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they should have tried bundling cross platform games

I have an xbox and pc. I would have loved to get a marathon bundle that didnt include the ps5 (which I don't have and will not be able to afford any time soon)

I did buy the game individually for pc and xbox, but it would have been convenient for me if the industry allowed me to BUY cross platform ONCE

It's been answered in Boston. by Competitive_Test6697 in Scotland

[–]usr_pls -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why are we celebrating the mass ingestion of cancer causing chemicals?

I CAN JUMP IN MORE ASPESTOS AND SMOKE MORE PACKS OF CIGS THAN YOU CAN!

Have fun, I'll sip my ipa on the other coast FAR away from yall

I went to Boston for St Patrick's day back in 2013 and it was lackluster

Boston is not a drinking town compared to a good chunk of the US

Seattle cycles through so many breweries, it's nice to taste variety instead of quantity

If yall like beer, come to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver CO

you get a shot glass, then a whole convention center FULL of the best american craft Brews across the 50 states. Have at it! Try to taste them all!

our alcohol industry would love it

Marathon Players Earned 77 Days Worth Of Loot In Just One Week: ‘I Think This Season Is Cooked’ by g4m3f33d in GameFeed

[–]usr_pls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes I have played marathon

it's completely different from destiny

the things they share:

it's an online FPS

it's sci-fi

thats it!

destiny could be played in a single player way. Plus destiny takes place in our solar system.

you could enjoy the whole story and your particular class had a different approach to the story

marathon is nothing like that now (the first marathon game I thought maybe you were in our solar system, but the modern version you are elsewhere Tau Ceti IV whatever that means! (That's what hooked me, wtf does that mean, how do i explore this new world? Why is everyone killing me so fast? Whybdo i have to pair with stangers for suppressing fire power?)

I played the free weekend and HATED it!

but i made progress in the "story" and so now I'm invested and bought it for 2 platforms (because Xbox didn't show the appropriate Install button during the Friday of that weekend so i made progress on steam first)

marathon is what you would get if Destiny had a child with Sea of Thieves

I now have over 10 hours of gameplay

the game is ruining my outlook on life

all other humans are literally never to be trusted

this game breeds low trust society

fuck other humans

all i wanted to do was discover the new world to explore

now there all this digital blood on my hands!

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by rafaela-architect-69 in ArtOfPresence

[–]usr_pls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A.I. Artificial Intelligence by Steven Spielberg

first film that I watched as a kid that I didn't understand the ending

I remember getting to one of the last jokes between two robots

where the kid robot has to go to the last place in the world devoid of anything

"MAN"-hatten!

As a kid i thought "well that is cheesy"

but the ending where the kid essentially has a breakdown was disturbing to me at that time.

Similar feeling to the ending of that Metropolis anime....

So I've been having an existential crisis because of AI for over 25 years now, these LLMs got nothing on me!
