Name Change posted:Most of the time it's 2-3 lines of inane nonsense as George's arms fold inside his body and he floats under the couch. TBH I'm not sure what the appeal was. This is actually making it sound more, not less, appealing. WRT YouTube, I started actually watching the shorts stuff because there's a few dumb video things that I'm a sucker for. It absolutely started recommending right wing bullshit to me, but after reporting a few channels it stopped. Honestly, it would just be swell if that stuff was gone altogether, but

poemdexter posted:What the gently caress was their training set? I thought the whole thing was built off Seinfeld episodes? There's been references to instagram and smartphone apps so it's definitely not all Seinfeld. Although the standup bits are trained from a different set -- I've seen the gummy bear joke more than once. But at the end of the day it's an AI chatbot, and per Tay's Law all AI chatbots will eventually lead to Full Hitler.

I feel like the appeal is like Adult Swim, there's a certain age/mindset/level of being high where that kind of nonstop breathless barely coherent absurdist nonsense is the funniest thing in the world. And if anything the joke is incredibly on point given the trend of comedians doubling and tripling down on transphobia and conservative rhetoric and forgetting how to tell actual jokes.

The ai chatbots just pull their lines from existing text, right? Just how big can the chunks they pull be? I'd assume that the more coherent bits are just the result of it keeping a larger portion of text mostly intact. So if it grabbed something written by transphobes, the result would be what we saw.

The George model sits down by basically face planting onto the seat and then the torso/arms fold in and turn around until the body is in a regular person is sitting position, the unique jank each model has for how it sits/interacts with stuff is genuinely great lol

You can usually coerce those models to reproduce training data verbatim. If a chatbot produces bigotry, that tells you what the people who selected training data found worth including. That's an active choice on their part.

It's more that it uses the broad general training data in the style of Seinfeld. They just don't bother filtering the training data.

I destroyed a $1300 iPhone last night by charging it from a $50 table lamp's USB Port. Heard a pop, smelled something, iPhone dead. 15 years I've had USB devices. This is a new one. Someone should sell fused USB cables. Anyway, yes ... I had AppleCare.

I only use chargers and computers to charge phones due to this (and the occasional battery bank). My apartment has usb plugs on the wall outlets that I wouldn't trust at all as how reliable the transformer is, how reliable the voltage is, what battery charging protocol it uses. (Spoiler they use the cheapest chip they found on Alibaba probably)

I love the idea that conspiracy nuts might think Jira is a digital equivalent of the smoke filled back room full of intricate illegal plans, when really its where overworked middle management goes to ask "Is this still a problem? Can I close this issue?"

Kind of curious to see whether the tech layoffs are going to boomerang back if the bulk employment numbers remain decent. It really seems like just some kind of contagion, unrelated to actual business conditions.

FWIW, it seems to me to be primarily the tech /webshit companies doing the firing. Within my area of expertise nobody would even think about letting IT people go. Big Tech is hardly representative of the larger IT labour market.
