Shame you can’t do some sort of thermoelectric power generation thingie with all the heat from these data centres.

Maybe uould find a version of linux that would run on them. I’m not a linux aficionado but I’ve found cut-down flavours useful in the past when I’ve needed something that could run on a crippled potato.

Make it into bricks and build a pyramid somewhere really dry?

And it’s got electrolytes!

And execs think we’re going to give these products our bank details and ask them to book flights and stuff. . ?

This is how we will know when AI gains sentience. It will have nothing to do with the Turing test, it’ll be when we ask it to do some admin and it tells us to fuck off and do it ourselves.

Sorry, they’re both present simple tense.

He made a CP machine.

That’s just fuckin sinister.

I quit Facebook over a decade ago, but any gen AI thingie impersonating me will have to get drunk and post unfortunate things at 2 am and then delete them next day. Good luck to the poor dumb bastard.

Good points tho.

I’m actually gonna aim more for something out of The Shining.

They were trying to argue that it was legally responsible for its own actions? Like, that it’s a person? And not even an employee at that? FFS

I’ve found it useful for a few things. I had had a song intermittently stuck in my head for a few years and had unsuccessfully googled it a few times. Couldn’t remember artist, name, lyrics (it was in a language I don’t speak) - and chatGPT got it in a couple of tries. Things that I’m too vague about to be able to construct a search prompt and want to explore. Stuff like that. I just don’t trust it with anything that I want actual facts for.

Nah, you can always come up with new combos. They could have named it ‘squonchy’ or ‘flurgled’, for example.

So much of our infrastructure uses the internet now that if it goes down I wouldn’t be shocked if electric grids, healthcare, shopping, public transport, etc also shit the bed.

So he’s politicising child abuse material now, and associating it with the political right. He’s not entirely incorrect, but it seems like he needs to think before he opens his idiot mouth.

I think it was the verge. . . But a quick search yields mixed results. I dunno, honestly!

If it’s true, it seems like a crazy idea. Whether you like office or not, it’s a known brand and people have been using it for a long time. Throwing away that name recognition has to be a bad idea, especially as many people are increasingly resentful at having AI shit forced down their throats.

Edit - apparently it’s not true.

Get drunk?
