Tell them next time you lead with “help! poo poo is broke!” I need to start forcing 4:30 cutoffs on people walking up to my desk. There’s a 90% chance that if you walk up to me at 4:50 asking if I can do something tomorrow for you, I’m going to forget it, if I’m even listening to what you’re saying while I’m closing up for the day.

I thought he was just pushing poo poo off on me as usual but this time something is hosed. You're a saint. I'm sure many of us have been in that spot when things are going to poo poo after-hours and we have to start scrambling for help. I'm usually happy to help others out if I'm free (assuming they don't have a habit of abusing that life-line). This makes me remember how much I disliked being on call for the hospital and receiving those 0130 calls from the NICU because they can't order medications for the new baby. Having to make phone calls to other teams and hoping they wake up.

Lazy dudes on other teams going “I can’t find the problem on my end so it is therefore an issue on your end.” really gently caress over the unlucky dudes who actually try but just have a system doing weird poo poo you’ve never seen before and didn’t know it could even do

It's a molecular modeling and visualization program, with an API that lets it offload the heavy calculations to our compute cloud. That last bit lets us do useful scientific work on an Oculus headset. The UI is very well designed, and the collaboration features work great - people in the same room using AR see an avatar of remote people. This is what Zucc. has been getting super excited about with AR/VR but it's so often overshadowed as hype or just too buggy. In theory, you can immediately have anyone, anywhere in the world almost in the same room and collaborate so much better than just using something like Zoom or Teams. You have a digital whiteboard and also able use digital visual elements to troubleshoot problems which is super cool for anyone who's worked on big complex scientific problems or just learning something complicated in general.

NPR Journalizard posted:My manager just tapped me on the shoulder and said "Hey, here is a 10% bump, thanks for your efforts" Ha, that’s rad. Meanwhile we’re in the midst of hiring a new engineer for firewall/VPN, and they’ve had me being the lead on VPN for the past 14 months. I’m an admin, they started the conversation by admitting they pulled a fast one by having me be lead on it in the first place, and I should be getting paid more for that work. But no talk of that actually happening, and I only got the middle of the pack annual salary increase. They were audacious enough to ask if we even wanted the new engineer on VPN, and if I even wanted to stop being the lead on it. They need to pull their heads outta the sand if they ever think I’d want to keep doing that work and have them admitting I’m not getting paid enough for it.

My friend and I tried to use ChatGPT to solve a Magic: The Gathering deck building problem and it failed miserably but was very polite the entire time.  Oh benevolent skynet! The pro tour does not await you!For those interested: We were trying to solve the ideal ratio of mountains to Lightning Bolts in the old rules (no 4 copy limit) to achieve a turn four win. We couldn’t get it to understand that on turn four it just needed to play one Lightning Bolt and did not need to play a Mountain. We eventually did the math ourselves and believe it’s 15 mountains on the play, 14 on the draw.

Maybe this was already posted, but just in case: https://techxplore.com/news/2023-08-chatgpt-showdown-stack.htmlquote:Researchers found what many already suspected: A significant number of ChatGPT's answers to programming questions were inaccurate or flat-out wrong. Ironically, however, when subjects were asked to compare responses from Stack Overflow and ChatGPT, 40% said they preferred ChatGPT's responses. Why? Because of the "comprehensiveness" and persuasive "articulate language style" of ChatGPT's answers.

The Fool posted:the biggest problem with ai right now is that something like 90% of the people talking about it are either grifters or rubes and that really takes the air out of the room for any useful nuanced discussion It's this. There's a podcast network I listen to, and two of the hosts decided to do an episode all about AI in light of the chatgpt craze. I neglected to listen to it (only heard a preview of it where they used voice clips of themselves assembled by AI as their smoking gun) because one of the hosts is a huge blowhard and constantly has terrible misinformed takes that he presents as "expert knowledge", so I doubt his episode long take on AI would be any different. Anyways this guy constantly goes on rants about how we're all on the verge of being out of a job due to AI and that AI is going to fully replace all writers and actors at some point in the next five years. It's very  because while I recognize the potential AI has, it is not nearly as apocalyptic as this guy makes it out to be. So anyways if someone has some nuanced discussion or article about it, please send them my way cause I am tired of the rubes and grifters making GBS threads things up.

I am sceptical that it can be "good enough". The AI use cases that Google like to demo are expanding a three sentence prompt into a side of corporate waffle and then turn that into the most generic looking presentation you've ever seen before some C-level asks the AI to summarise that all back into a few sentences. Everything is going to end up sounding so bland and safe that it will be immediately obvious that an AI created it.

Yeah I don't think that's far fetched at all, but the way this guy is talking about it it's clear A) he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about to begin with and B) he thinks it will replace everyone. Full stop. I have no doubts some studio will attempt to make an AI written movie with some AI assets "acting" or something within the next few years, but I do doubt that it's going to wipe out the entire writing and acting industry overnight.
