What if the employee is an SVP's useless fail-child? "Shove an AI in it" is someone's pet project, it's possibly going to take more than this to kill it, just like it would take a monumental gently caress up to eliminate a nepohire

Papercut posted:As an SF driver, I greatly prefer sharing the road with the waymo cars, they're much more predictable than human drivers I've been privileged to watch a Waymo outperform human drivers. A junk truck was blocking the street in front of my building. You could get around it by swinging into a driveway and then back on to the street. Humans were very tentative doing this. They looked sloppy. The Waymo rolled up, scanned the situation, and pulled around the obstruction neat as you please. I'd be smug if I managed it as cleanly.

A chatbot currently can't handle a hundred simultaneous requests either, you have to stagger them in. Your point being?

I'm not sure if I am just missing the joke, but almost the entire point of a chatbot is to allow for simultaneous acceptance for how many calls could be expected or even unexpected. People HAAAATE waiting in phone queues and also don't enjoy reading through all the information on the webpage and fine detail. They just want to ask a question like old mate did and have it answered. No queue, no faffing about through reams of fine print. Question, answer, job done. Of course, it confidently giving the incorrect advice is a bit awkward (and spot on that the company is held liable for advice its software punches out).

Most wise bot adopters just use it to filter bullshit granny calls anyway, except that most bullshit granny calls come in through telephones and not text, so you just end up anoying people with another form of queue. You end up needing a human attendant to do anything you couldn't do with a click through menu on the website. Almost everyone who puts the AI in instantly gets burned.

I don't know why these companies bother with AI chatbots when they could just remove any contact information from their site and replace it with a vague and unhelpful FAQ instead. That seems to have worked for a lot of companies over the past decade.

Scientists aghast at bizarre AI rat with huge genitals in peer-reviewed article Appall and scorn ripped through scientists' social media networks Thursday as several egregiously bad AI-generated figures circulated from a peer-reviewed article recently published in a reputable journal. Those figures—which the authors acknowledge in the article's text were made by Midjourney—are all uninterpretable. They contain gibberish text and, most strikingly, one includes an image of a rat with grotesquely large and bizarre genitals, as well as a text label of "dck."

Yeah, there are plenty of journals which will just publish anything you send to them without any kind of review, people have done tests like just copying and pasting wikipedia articles or using autocomplete to write an entire paper (in the days before GPT so it was total nonsense). They just prey on people who are desperate to publish anything, not realizing that being put in these journals will do more harm to their career than good.

I don't know how common this is because my program didn't require it, but my friend's graduate program required a published article in order to graduate (I'm assuming in order to inflate the university's publication statistics), and for people who don't plan to go into academics and just want to graduate and go into industry, such journals provide a way to get your degree and move on.

My understanding is that a PhD almost by definition is meant to be as a result of original published work (as opposed to a MD, for example which is purely a technical training course). The PhD candidate's project should be reviewed by professors with expertise in the subject matter, prior to publication and awarding of the PhD.

My dissertation contained one published article, a lot of unpublished articles my advisor kept kicking down the road, and some corporate contract work that couldn't be published in a journal for obvious reasons. Copy pasting a bunch of previously written journal articles into your dissertation certainly helps, but isnt required. Just needs to be original.

What’s the nightmare here? It sounds like this printer has a local hotspot you can connect your device on to print something. A 2 minute code seems reasonable?

It prints in colour for no reason instead of simply displaying the pin on a display. The reason it prints in colour can be seen in the last sentence.

Feel sorry for who ever had to program that into the printer. Like obviously the management type have no morale's and don't care, but I'm assuming the person(/s) who programed it in knew they were making the world more garbage by doing what their doing, but just ended up having to do it anyway as that's their job.

I'm willing to bet the Indian programmers working for an outsourcing company didn't give even an iota of a poo poo. And to be clear, they shouldn't. Furthermore, I think countries around the world should implement capital punishment for megacorp executives.
