[quote] I’m starting to believe we have bots on this site[/quote] There were valid points in the thread, but you sound like you've got an Apple sticker on your car and the criticism stings a little. I'm still right, judging by the reaction in other places. ...

[quote]What, specifically, do you think they failed at here?[/quote] Taking everything that people like from a creative perspective and saying "we will crush it and absorb it" does not look appealing at all to me. It's the exact opposite of their 1984 ad....

[quote]Buck is a former CIA guy. I don't know much else about him, but that's not a great place to start. Jesse Kelly should have gotten that gig.[/quote] I find the show is much better when Buck is by himself - they try to cover too much too fast without much insight when it's both of them, a...
The guy talking about it like he's doing color commentary at a sporting event is annoying. ...
[quote] I believe this is when they moved out of the original building and changed the source of water from the Mississippi River to, Abita Springs (some North Shore water source). As crazy as it sounds, that's when the flavor of the beer went from 'passable if ice cold' to dog piss[/quote] Yeah,...

[quote]It’s been an adventure not running over kids on bikes[/quote] I never wanted to clothesline so many people in my life. It was never a dangerous mob, though, just a bunch of obnoxious teens (actual teens). The food trucks at the town square were sure willing to take all their money ...

Shithole, no. Overrated, yes. The Facebook comments are funny, though - one woman is saying they should tear gas them....
[quote]Stewart probably knows the law suit is unwarranted, and the damage award is absurd. But Stewart is in the entertainment business. It's his job to make fun of things.[/quote] Clown nose on, clown nose off....

[quote]Again, that’s not how they work. The training data is not stored in the model.[/quote] Ok, fair point, it generates a model off the data and predicts what is most likely the next word as it generates text. It's not aware of what the words mean. ...
[quote] It reminds me of the time that someone around here said that GPT is just a search engine. Sounds plausible I guess.. if you ignore the fact that it’s actually incapable of searching the internet for information when you enter a query.[/quote] That was probably me, and I'm right. Is i...
[quote]Once AI gets a little more conversational, again maybe five years away, [/quote] Just like self driving cars. Been 5 years away for some time now. That last 10% in software is a bitch. ...
[quote]There are numerous messaging apps on the iphone, they don't hold a monopoly there. Discord, snapchat, whatsapp, facebook messenger, telegram, hell even google voice is on there to name a few.

[quote]it's not even that someone is important, it might be that they're simply the gatekeeper for something.

[quote]not everyone is a cog in the wheel in IT or some sort of back office setting[/quote] I'm curious as to what some of you do that is so important it must be dealt with by you and only you this exact instant. You're not as important as you think you are. ...
