Blazing saddles was written with the golden rule of offensive comedy: don’t punch down or up, punch in all directions.

Is that you satan?

No, that’s a card that’s been standard in Google searches for years. It basically copy pastes an excerpt from an article written by someone else.

The AI card is an entirely new feature that is being rolled out where an LLM attempts to fill the same roll without deliberately copying a third party source.

I didn’t bring up Chinese rooms because it doesn’t matter.

We know how chatGPT works on the inside. It’s not a Chinese room. Attributing intent or understanding is anthropomorphizing a machine.

You can make a basic robot that turns on its wheels when a light sensor detects a certain amount of light. The robot will look like it flees when you shine a light at it. But it does not have any capacity to know what light is or why it should flee light. It will have behavior nearly identical to a cockroach, but have no reason for acting like a cockroach.

A cockroach can adapt its behavior based on its environment, the hypothetical robot can not.

ChatGPT is much like this robot, it has no capacity to adapt in real time or learn.

You’re the one who made this philosophical.

I don’t need to know the details of engine timing, displacement, and mechanical linkages to look at a Honda civic and say “that’s a car, people use them to get from one place to another. They can be expensive to maintain and fuel, but in my country are basically required due to poor urban planning and no public transportation”

ChatGPT doesn’t know any of that about the car. All it “knows” is that when humans talked about cars, they brought up things like wheels, motors or engines, and transporting people. So when it generates its reply, those words are picked because they strongly associate with the word car in its training data.

All ChatGPT is, is really fancy predictive text. You feed it an input and it generates an output that will sound like something a human would write based on the prompt. It has no awareness of the topics it’s talking about. It has no capacity to think or ponder the questions you ask it. It’s a fancy lightbulb, instead of light, it outputs words. You flick the switch, words come out, you walk away, and it just sits there waiting for the next person to flick the switch.

I would take a PT cruiser over the cyber truck any day.

Are the corpos finally figuring out that there are not infinite people with infinite money?

Double down on the studio that takes 10 years to make a game, 1 years after their last game.

They’re not the brightest

They take like 10 years to release a game

They have plenty of time, just not the talent or vision to do anything good with it. Their stories are extremely bare bones, the bugs are prolific, and the power creep is more a power slide straight into godhood by level 15 because of the short main quests.

Game came out 8 years ago

How many mod authors are gonna come back years after the last patch to fix their mods?

Bethesda screwed over the modding community

At this point we’re not even sure if fully autonomous vehicles are possible.

Yes that one guy has been saying it’ll be ready next year for the passed 10 years, but no self driving company has been able to get an autonomous car from point A to point B in all road conditions that a competent human can manage.

Even aircraft autopilot is not as autonomous as what people want out of self driving cars. Pilots are still required to be at their seats the entire flight in case something unexpected happens. And there are a lot more unexpected things on a road than in the middle of the sky. Even discounting human drivers being in the way, a self driving car needs to be able to recognize everything a human can and react to it better than a human would. I’m not sure that’s possible, even with “AI”. The human brain is insanely good at pattern matching, and it took millions of years of trial and error evolution to luck our way into that. How can someone guarantee an AI is going to be better?

Can’t wait for my ai to hallucinate last year’s tax return

Why is MS targeting specific hardware when windows has historically been a general purpose OS?

I’m switching my machine to Linux this weekend, even if my chip is supported, who’s to say it will stay supported for the next couple of years.

My cat responds far better to the shower than to a sink or wet rags. The sink is the only time she’s ever actually tried to claw at me, the shower she’ll go into and sit around while I gently spray her down, but she will look like this if I’m not done in a few minutes, because she’s young and hates being confined for any noticeable length of time.

You’ve never had a cat get covered in dirt or sprayed by a skunk, have you?

Sometimes bath time is very much needed, even if the cat may disagree

I don’t know, all I know is that last time I played was right after they made the original story unavailable, so I had no connection with any of the factions or NPCs that were introduced.

Played with friends for like a week and moved onto something else because I hate games where you just grind for stats endlessly only to have them get nerfed or banned so you can grind for stats endlessly again.

But a bunch of other elements don’t follow that pattern, why don’t they say “ironium”?

Maybe it’s just because I had the proper pronunciation drilled into me, it bothers me that I had went through a lot of arguments and effort to make myself better understood, and the people on these shows don’t even vaguely try despite having access to professional consultants or even just the internet.

I try to make myself understood, and hearing someone casually butcher a language I worked very hard to learn is frustrating.

Avocado

Pico de Gallo

Tortilla

Garage(from the French, and absolutely butchered by the British)

Aluminum(not really a loan word but what’s with the extra letters)

Those are the ones off the top of my head, but I might actually make a list.
