Oooof

You’re really willing to die on the hill of poop camera subscriptions, I’m not willing to waste time diving further into the subject. You’re ignorant of the topic, which is fine, but I won’t be the one explaining further.

Because it’s an incredibly unreliable data point by itself, and requires significantly more than visual analysis to prevent several co-variables.

Yes and you don’t have to hire a plumber to fix your sink if you’re a plumber.

You are severely misunderstanding the point being made. Imagine you have a leaky pipe, you hire a professional plumber, they charge you $500 and say “yep, I can take a look and I conclude it’s a leaky pipe! My job here is done, see you next time. I can also give you an AI generated list of reasons pipes often get leaky”

What I’m precisely telling you is that this company can’t provide the professional analysis you just commented.

You’re telling me there’s zero valuable information in photos of feces?

Nope. I’m saying a private company and whatever training set they have, plus a cheap RGB camera and an AI model, is not going to give you any information that you can’t derive by simply looking at the feces yourself, much like the table you just linked. Though that table itself is an oversimplification that, being unable to take other parameters into account, also contains potentially misleading conclusions.

My field is bioinformatics. I’m willing to bet $500 there’s little to no valuable data being gathered at all, and quite a lot of noise, rather than anything relevant for your health. I’m sure, just like your smart watch, they can make it sound like some deep insights and health exploration, but I guarantee you it’s not.

A subscription… for a toilet? Internet access… for a toilet? Cameras… for a toilet? Am I having a fever dream?

I buy single purpose devices that are fully offline, durable, user serviceable, and useful… and then I go for a long time without buying anything but food. It’s almost like setting a new personal record: how many days in a row I can go without buying a single thing?

Not simple libs, an entire trust chain from boot to running app that is supposed to improve security and integrity. It also happens to have the side effect of making the entire chain dependent on Google, which I’m sure Google is totally not happy about you know.

Kicking off? It started ages ago.

The user explained what exactly went wrong later on. The AI gave a list of instructions as steps, and one of the steps was deleting a specific Node.js folder on that D:\ drive. The user didn’t want to follow the steps and just said “do everything for me” which the AI prompted for confirmation and received. The AI then indeed ran commands freely, with the same privilege as the user, however this being an AI the commands were broken and simply deleted the root of the drive rather than just one folder.

So yes, technically the AI didn’t simply delete the drive - it asked for confirmation first. But also yes, the AI did make a dumb mistake.

I quite obviously meant it doesn’t matter how much they integrate Gemini into the browser, I’m not touching it.

I, again quite obviously, am not saying I’m not going to use any predictive algorithm ever made.

If this is confusing to you, consider consulting a doctor.

Its abundantly obvious that nowadays when somebody mentions AI they mean generative AI for text, images, and so on.

YOU’LL NEVER GET ME TO USE AI

Eh, that’s the problem with email - it’s much harder to change and migrate, because you can’t guarantee others will use your new email, much less find out who somehow still has the old email to send messages to and expects a reply from.
