I think it's marketing overreach. christmas->snow->snow animals->penguins

I do find it strange that there are less polar bears than penguins in Christmas decorations in NA

I pulled down some random ass pop song, and it ended up being some guy noodling on a keyboard playing a half assed version of the cantina song from Star Wars. I set it to my phone's ringtone. No idea when that mp3 was long, it was a LONG time ago

if they are going to try undermining the elections if they are going to successfully undermine the elections

The try is a given, it's already started with the SCOTUS changing rules on map redrawing.

That was at least 3x funnier than it should have been.

Well done.

I'm almost 50 and I have favorite YouTubers. I watch the Australian guy cleaning drains with a high-pressure water jet, and another guy in Virginia buying scrap earth moving equipment and bringing it back to life. I also watch a couple of the 30-40 somethings that play games so i don't have to buy them.

It's been a problem for a long time before AI.

they can’t manage to sell a single dollar worth of their product.

Ohh don't worry, that's not how this works :)

We're still in the venture capital stage. The companies are circle-jerking, paying each other off with venture funds and stock splits. They don't need to be making money at this point because they're already getting everything they ask for.

Those $50-$200 packages from all the big companies are just there to get people used to the idea. They're making all their money on selling each other useless support chatbots and horrible phone systems claiming they can reduce their staff by half. Well, they could always reduce their staff by half, customers have had to deal with shitty wait times for years.

You'll pay for AI by the prices of your software rising. Those costs are absorbed and passed on to you as micro-transactions inside your actual subscriptions and payments.

Once they managed to get the AI intertwined in every system out there, they're free to collude as a market and raise prices slowly. AI will be the cost of software inflation and hardware shortages that make anyone with a datacenter or enterprise hardware manufacturing capacity very, very rich.

It could even be that in the end, this isn't a bubble, it's just a grift and it never pops, but because so expensive that your average person can barely eat if they expect to use software tools for their work.

It COULD help the average person, but we'll always fuck it up before it gets to that point.

You could build an app that teaches. Pick the curriculum, pick the tests, pick the training material for the users, and use the LLM to intermediate between your courseware and the end users.

LLM's are generally very good at explaining specific questions they have a lot of training on, and they're pretty good at dumbing it down when necessary.

Imagine an open-source, free college course where everyone gets as much time as they need and aren't embarrased to ask whatever questions come to their minds in the middle of the lesson. Imagine more advanced students in a class not being held back because some slower students didn't understand a reading assignment. It wouldn't be hard to out teach an average community college class.

But free college that doesn't need a shit ton of tax money? Who profits off that? we can't possibly make that.

How about a code tool that doesn't try to write your code for you, but watches over what you're doing and points out possible problems, what if you strapped it on a compiler and got warnings that you have dangerous vectors left open or note where buffer overflows aren't checked?

Reading medical images is a pretty decisive win. The machine going back behind the doctor and pointing out what it sees based on the history of thousands of patient images is not bad. Worst case the doctors get a little less good at doing it unassisted, but the machines don't get tired and usually don't have bad days.

The problem is capitalism. You can't have anything good for free because it's worth money. And we've put ALL the money into the tech and investors will DEMAND returns.

Did you just really ignore monuments comment two above?

I guess we know where your sympathies land

Consider:

Someone is getting knocked the F out on camera.

There is a crowd of people

No one is stopping or diffusing the situation

No one is stopping over the check on the fallen

Then calculate it appears to be a guy wearing a nazi arm band

then consider that it would be the shittiest idea for a halloween costume south of blackface and even wearing nazi garb would likely get you a rightful ass-kicking.

There's no math there that makes that even slightly questionable.

If all the kids crap was removed from youtube, they wouldn't have to worry about adding for storage for a decade.
