One of many things that we have studied over and over again, but we'll never see implemented on a wide basis because it goes against the current narratives.
I'm so tired of living in a society that ignores what is best for society.

There's a lot of fun wordplay and songs.

I love the Marx Brothers movies.

All of the Underworld movies. She kicks vampire and werewolf ass.

Resident Evil (any of them), Ultraviolet, Γ†on Flux, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

That is straight up villain behavior.

They're just trying to poison everything at this point.

It's a really sad development.

Yep. These things are loved by people who just want to be surrounded by Yes Men. Even if it's lies.

Respect for expertise, but also valuing making sure things are correct. The attempts to use LLMs for things tells me that they don't care if things are correct. Only that they get what they expected.

Bad, but not surprising.

This is why we can't have nice things. :(

According to Wikipedia, Alphabet had a Net Income of about $100 Billion in 2024. Assuming that it is still making that much now, that's about $274 million a day. Which means the fine is less than a quarter day of income. The lawyers who fought the case probably cost more.

I'd like to suggest Level 4: Being rich, or successful, does not make you a better person.

The cure might be to let the models collapse. If they are that delicate and worthless, maybe it's time to give up and try something else.

Everything I hear about these things seems to be a giant red flag. They're not good and the fundamentals of the system won't let them get better. I really wish they would stop.

It makes me want to puke. I just don't know how to process what is going on.

I'm sorry it went poorly. Hopefully you will get to like it once you get used to it.

That tells me that medicine wouldn't work for me, because exercise never helps.

That's the whole point of the EPA. To make sure business doesn't poison the world. I hate it here so much.

Yeah, you don't even have to get that deep in the math to know that systems built on the probability of one word following another is not going to be a genius AGI.

What happened to making products that the customer wanted?

This is going to end so badly. It feels like, at some point, we're going to have to wipe so much of this off the internet. Going to need to do reset.

For a while now, tech people have been obsessed with getting things to run at scale. They have finally figured it out for tech debt
