I had to learn about this sound:

Because the kids make it constantly.

How many 8 year olds got suspended for sexual assault when you were a kid? Because the number for my class this year isn't 0.

Also, all the 5th grade teachers walked out. Guess where all those 5th graders are now. They're evenly divided amongst ALL the other classes in the school. So even the kindergarten classes each have 2 or 3 fifth graders just sitting in the back doing nothing.

It's some real doomsday poo poo, I could go on all day.

what the gently caress

I’ve been basically completely off social media for years and years and never engaged with TikTok at all :corsair: but watching that video made me feel like a time traveler being dropped into some bizarre unintelligible future.

I thought this would happen much later than 40 and welp

I think part of it is that let's plays and general video game streams got so popular lots of folks had them on in one screen as background noise. from there people probably had actual tv shows on that they could pay more or less attention to versus an LP and boom: you're now watching orange is the new black/shameless in 2 minute intervals with some copyright free music in the background and that platform-disappearing jumping game in the bottom of the screen.

basically this is all something awfuls fault if you squint enough

Dunno bout all the other stuff but it appears to have some utility for summarizing 200 boring similar documents or something

I mean if only but it just has to gently caress up once and you'd be screwed so you'd have to double check everything every time which is the same as just doing it yourself from the get go

I have to review stupid long paperwork at work all the time and I had some people from another department ask "don't you have a program to check this stuff or something?" Like no we don't, it wouldn't work

I could just be confused because everything is being stamped with the "AI" label even if it has nothing to do with neural networks because yeah it seems like an LLM wouldn't be very good at summarizing documents if, uh, accuracy was an issue

If accuracy matters then it seems like you have to be able to double-check whatever it barfs out really quickly for it to be worth any labor savings

OK, but if you don't have a gas stove so you can make microsecond adjustments to your heat, and you are incapable of moving the pan/pot off of the burner, then your cooking is poo poo!!

Yeah like other people have said AI is probably best if you're dealing with pointless busy work (stuff no one will ever actually look at or read) or situations where minor/moderate issues with accuracy won't cause major problems (like audio transcription)

Feeding documents into an AI after a person takes a look at them might be a good way to catch errors that the person missed, I guess

yea I dunno what people expect, it’s always been mark up then down for BIG 70%! off labels

Americans don’t really care either, they just want to think they got a good once in a lifetime sale over the man. it’s the aesthetics of sales than material conditions of sales
