Too late. Globalisation has just sized up the US.

A new leader and government will help, but what a monumental pit to come out of. The first term will be mostly spent plugging holes and repairing.

Barely six months in and American citizens are on their knees—literally if ICE are there with an unmarked van—and no one’s doing a thing. It’s like every part of the American Constitution was just for show all this time.

How’s making America great again going?

Oh. My. God.

Thank you SO much for sharing that!

Just like most things in mechanics. It’s almost always some bullshit you weren’t prepared for or didn’t even know was a thing and the hours tick away. But every time after that only takes a few minutes after some quick disassembly then reassembly.

My first oil and filter change took over an hour. But it’s normally a 0.5/5 difficulty, 10 min job including the time waiting for oil to finish draining.

They could do it if they pull the ol’ Uno reverse on NATO’s superhighway infrastructure, and like…just get away with that.

Yesterday it tried to tell me Duration.TotalYears() and Number.IsNaN() were M functions in the first few interactions. I immediately called it out and for the first time ever, it doubled-down.

I think I’m at a level where, for most cases, what I ask of LLMs for coding is too advanced, else I just do it myself. This results in a very high counts of bullshit. But even for the most basic stuff, I have to take the time to read all of it and fix or optimise mistakes.

Mine’s 35. 40 is illegal unless you’re a medical doctor. And legally I have to be paid overtime for every minute over but it’s my choice.

That’s not disturbing; that’s completely fucked up.

If they want to buy data to use for AI, they can pay someone to license their voice for its use. What they’ve done is no different to bootlegging, but it’s worse because it’s personally identifiable data.

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, “If not for immigration, who’s going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?”

It will burst. AI is improving at the same rate it always has and no one’s surprised, just LLMs have gotten attention from normal users who seem to think “this is AI”.

For actual AI, nothing has changed. You still need extremely well governed data and lots and lots of controlled training, lots and lots of condition farming and resolving, all at considerable cost not worth it for BAU, just AI-soecific projects.

It’s already bursting, as people realise what is AGI and what is non-logic LLMs and why the latter has limited use, especially with awful mass “training”.

The most realistic outcome is that LLMs are able to assist in increasing the pace of AGI.

Women are just as bad. It’s not a gender thing, though there are the old stereotypes you mentioned

My experience is women are very unclean if they don’t think it will be noticed or on display. Cleaning is more for appearances with little influence from hygiene or being organised. Men seem to do it out of necessity only, it’s not the bare minimum, but the state of something can be left longer, like a pile of clothes not being big enough to deal with yet. But there are those that can’t survive without their mothers.

They’ll blame this for more ads and enough people will say, “Oh, that makes sense.”

Did indeed. Edit to fix and added a linky.

Historically speaking; Israel badder. Both bad; Israel much badder.

Just ask the locals around those parts, not the US media outlets.

Iran is actually quite insular and highly defensive. Historically (modern) not very offensive compared to most other nations known for involvment in conflicts.

See for yourself.

When I was in Australia, this happened…

It becomes very fatiguing. Especially when the same article is posted in several places.

To make things worse, it’s a trash article. It’s literally just quoting another article. So it’s bot scraped, bot written, title generated with zing and spooned to idiot cohorts on places like this, simply to garner traffic.

There are a lot of simple users on Lemmy, though they’d hate to admit it. But we have this post in this community with those comments, soooo… GG, big brains 👍

Yeah, same. Long-time user of an em-dash—love a cheeky en-dash in my ranges too. But now LLMs are using them all the time, out of context, and with spaces on either side.

Is nothing safe?! Next it’ll be semicolons!

What Deere did was even more harsh. They tried to block off not only self repair, but third-party firmware that made the tractors work better, especially older ones that were out of warranty.

That’s straight up a major federal crime in my country. So that should give Americans an idea how balanced their scale of justice is at the moment.

The consumer and supplier ALWAYS get equal and fair protection, lest a business becomes based on ripping people off with product instead of the product itself.

Eeh, not a rare find when overseas. Most people don’t “tour” overseas, but you frequent busloads of these people.
