STOP DOING AI

YEARS OF MARKETING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND

Want to chat with a PDF? We had a tool for that: It was called "EMAILING THE AUTHORS"

"Let’s shove this feature at users. Let’s do this EVERYWHERE" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged

They have played us for absolute fools

Indeed not bsky.app/profile/iisr...

Good guess, I haven't reviewed our baseline in ages.

Updated to 26100.4652 or .4770?

No, @jenmsft.bsky.social is right, Win+R still works on 24H2 after I just updated, must be a problem specific to my work laptop

Boot looping, will report back!

All the more infuriating 😄 I have a laptop still running 23H2, I'll give it an update and see what happens

Win+X -> R still works, but Win+R does nothing on 24H2 (26100.4652). My first thought was it might just have a change to a setting default, but I can't find anything related to the Run prompt in settings 😞

Win+R no longer launching the Run... prompt is insanely annoying too

I really gotta visit the southern hemisphere at some point 😄

Furthest I've been:

N: Hammerfest, Norway
W: Portland (OR), USA
S: Sentosa, Singapore
E: Bảo Lộc, Vietnam

The overwhelming sense I get from any company which makes me talk to a chatbot is of being fobbed off, patronised, unvalued. They are clearly happy to waste my time & let me fight with frustrating options rather than trying to help me. If I were an MP, I wouldn’t especially want to create that vibe

We are living through one of the biggest corporate gaslightings in history at the hands of established old guard tech reporters who, for whatever reason, think it's necessary to make stuff up like "Microsoft laid off 15,000 people because they're making money from AI" which is demonstrably false

🤣

I've tried making this point in front of multiple Seattlites, and ehhh... you're in the minority 😬

That's a clonker 😳

it will be difficult but we're going to need a fairly radical shift in online norms over the coming years as censorship and puritan crackdowns continue to worsen. absolutely no more listing your age, mental illnesses and all your kinks on your profile. the era of shutting da fuck up is here

The copyright statement from Ephemeral City which reads in part: No part of this book may be used as data for ‘training’ any large language model or as part of any machine learning or neural network architeture. Human creaivity cannot be replicated by doing maths with stolen art. Altman, Andressen, and all their cronies can get fucked. Enquires should be made to the publisher.

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement?
Me: Definitely. How specific can we get?
Publisher: As specific as you like.

Det er genialt for fascisterne - gratis PR

You'll get 'em eventually! 🤣

Mit første valg ville have været esbe[.]ch (eller aesbe[.]ch) men begge er desværre taget 😞

.cloud og .net er begge ledige

Being in tech and having a single modicum of critical thinking is just screaming "this isn't what LLMs are designed for" over and over as people shove a bunch of word predictors into critical decision making processes because some glorified used car salesmen told them it would fix all their problems

But Ed, They Said Something About Points of Growth- Silence! Any of these companies talking about "growth from AI" or "the jobs that AI will replace" or "how AI has changed their organization" are hand-waving to avoid telling you how much money these services are actually making them. If they were making good money and experiencing real growth as a result of these services, they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it! They'd be in your ear and up your ass hooting about how much cash they were rolling in! And they're not, because they aren't rolling in cash, and are in fact blowing nearly a hundred billion dollars each to build massive, power-hungry, costly data centers for no real reason. Don’t watch the mouth — watch the hands. These companies are going to say they’re seeing growth from AI, but unless they actually show you the growth and enumerate it, they are hand-waving.

35% of the value of the US stock market is the mag7, 19% of that is NVIDIA, and *42% OF NVIDIA'S REVENUE IS THE MAG7 BUYING GPUs*. Our god damn economy is supported by whether five companies buy more GPUs every quarter! This is insane!
