Last year McDonalds tried a test of replacing human drive thru workers with an AI running the speaker board. It was shut down after only 3 weeks.

My favorite bit was a guy trying to order a big mac meal large with a coke.

What the AI heard, was 81,000 bottles of Dasani water. Then asked “Is this correct?” To which the guy responded “81,000 bottles of fucking water???”

To which the AI added a big mac meal medium with a water. Then asked if his updated order was correct. He just drove off.

Well, he’s not wrong…oh, wait. Yes he is. Technically.

You gonna deny a hard working AI a job?

Yes please!

It’s like a french WWII troop. Surrendering and retreating.

looks at mirror

Nope. Not 1999. I still have grey hair.

It’s not the AI that causes problems. It’s the CEOs that INSIST this bullshit needs to not only be part of our lives, but also affect our lives.

We can’t buy ram at reasonable prices. I hear storage (hard drives, and solid state drives) are also going to go back to being expensive.

GPUs as well.

This is just like a few years ago when all the crypto bros decided they needed all the GPUs. So prices went from $100 or so, to $700. I’ve heard of some high end GPUs at tge peak of it going for 3k.

Except this time, when the fad ends, I heard it’s going to collapse the entire US economy.

We’re being forced to prop up a technology that does not work in the ways they want it to, and never will. It can’t. Thats not something a computer can ever do.

It’s like saying a plane can fly at 550mph, and a pigeon can also fly. Therefore we’re forcing the entire united states economy to be dependant on pigeons flying from New York to Los Angelas in 5 hours.

It can’t do that.

So when it fails, it basically creates a global depression.

That’s what we’re doing here. The CEOs are at fault. The AI itself will only do what you tell it to do.

Here’s the thing. Fascism can’t last. It never lasts. Not long term.

So when sanity eventually returns, these judgements will then be revisited.

They are essentially trying to regulate technology they know very little about.

You’re surprised that law makers are trying to regulate things they know nothing about? Oh…oh I have like 2000 years worth of news for you…

“They are putting profits over sanity and safety”

Soooooooo, just like every other business in the history of capitolism?

If it’s just a fork of Android, doesn’t that mean 194 days from now they either need to branch off entirely and write their own code from here on out…

Or…

Never advance the base code?

Or, maybe they’re trying to kill adblockers so hard that they killed the whole homepage.

“Well if we can’t block the adblockers, we’ll just block EVERYBODY! No more Mr Beast for anyone!”

Hold on …

Are you saying all software hosted on github is infected with copilot? Or am I misreading the situation?

The question always struck me as dumb. Because it doesn’t make any attempt to clarify what geographic region this question takes place.

I don’t care what you’re afraid of a man doing, a polar bear is ALWAYS the worse choice.

But not all bears are as aggressive as polar bears. Some bears will run away from you if you chase them. Some bears will end you if you chase them.

Of coarse you can’t determine how dangerous a man is based on region. But you can likely determine which regions have dangerous bears.
