Discovering fire was a mistake. Making rocks think was a disaster.

I dislike AI (LLM) generated output for a myriad of reasons, but there has been one use case I’ve found useful, as much as I hate to admit it, and that is digesting large volumes of text and summarising it or identifying passages in that text that match my description of what I want to find - generally a better outcome than simple keyword searching, and I can look at the bit it identified, which is not AI content…it’s just pointing me to the right part.

And this makes me wonder why Google photos has such a terrible search function.

I actually miss Encarta. It was obviously killed by Google earth/maps but it was one of the only maps that allowed you to search for a river and it would highlight the entire thing from mouth to ocean , which google has never done. It was a nice feature that let you see just how big a given tributary system really was.

It does for the time being , and will continue to do so, until the fascists are removed from power.

Nobody is going to arrest those pricks until they’re no longer protected

Protecting fascists ?

It turns out that some people never mature mentally beyond that point, but continue to get older each year nonetheless.

Until recently that sort of behaviour would have been quite a barrier to employment, but these days it’s pretty much a prerequisite.

#idiocracy was a documentary

Videos are so easy to fake these days that nobody would believe it even if he did release one.

The right would denounce it immediately as fake news from trump haters

The left would say hang on, slow down, there are some weird artefacts here…this could be a false flag fake video to incite violence so that trump has an excuse to deploy more troops on election day.
