  • But of a tangent, but I really don’t like the idea of being shot by an arrow. Like, my brain can accept a hypothetical scenario where I get shot by a bullet, but not by an arrow, despite the bullet clearly being the worse option.

    I think it’s the idea of the arrow just… staying there. Like, very clearly sticking out from where it is currently fucking up my organs. It also seems like a slower death, which would suck. Plus, what if you fell forward onto the arrow, or turned and hit it on something?

    Anyway, this has been my TED talk.










  • Well, according to an interview at The Vergewith Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these “hallucinations” are an “inherent feature” of  AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature “is still an unsolved problem.”

    That’s a lot of “”“quotation marks”“” for something that is a very well established fact, and absolutely should not be a shock to anyone.

    Yes, it’s an unsolved problem. It always will be, because there is no algorithm for truth. All we can do is get incrementally better.





  • When I quit at McDonalds to start a career in welding, the owner of the store happened to be visiting. He took me aside and told me “You know, those guys at… (Sorry, what was that place called again? Right…) You know, I’ve heard the people there aren’t as nice as we are here. Are you sure you want to leave?”

    I’ve never wanted to punch an old man so much in my life. In that moment, he was the personification of class warfare to me, trying to “trick” me into throwing away my future just so he could have more cheap labour. And the fact it was so blatantly obvious added insult to, well… insult.

    Anyway, it’s not the same, but the “wallpapers” thing definitely gives me the same vibes, lol.
