broad brush strokes, yes largely that

there's some extremely fucking interesting details in the weeds, but that's beyond the scope of merely a comment (and also I don't feel equipped to make a goodpost about it as yet)

to the computing side, and with the proviso that in my own estimation of my skills I am at best slightly less than "dangerously clueless": unfortunately not as much as may be desired because the kind of chips being added are fairly specialised silicon

it's not impossible that people may find other uses for it over time but to the best of my knowledge as it stands right now much of this shit is dead weight the moment this bubble pops

(I don't think it will all go entirely away; there are some ML uses that are not complete trash. but that's a long different arc)

I'm not sure I follow the skeu side of your comment?

They made this terrible thing look like a train
There's something sweet in the air what I can't say
Would I like a drink to calm the brain?
Oh, please stay in the chairs

But oh, God
I don't wanna go to Mars
What kind of brainwashed idiot does?
It's all a lab rat life in jars
They branded the dream of ages
I don't wanna go to Mars
Be with me here and return to dust

I remember really liking it when I heard it around first release. it holds up.

you have an extremely dim worldview, find something happy

wtf kind of post is this

may my revenant embody the stuff vc nightmares are made of

lawns in addition to other things are fine, but also all the stuff self said applies pretty hard

we're lucky in ZA that we're pretty good with getting a lot of this stuff out, which I'm often pretty happy about, but that's an incident of geography (and personal location)

I wonder how long until these clowns start posting kagi signups with referral links embedded

No, it’s supposed to be “firefox with all the weird mozilla pitch decisions removed” but it seems they still struggle to catch some

(e: damn lemmy for posting to the wrong chain)

today's a fucking trip and a half

in a mall I saw some Honor laptop[0] ads with "AI" pitch sauce slathered all over it

later walking between art galleries I saw a roadsign ad for a property sales company promising "more effective strategies using AI" (more effective strategies for.. selling.. houses..? I guess..? (x up for doubt))

and now I get this shit in my mailbox from someone who absolutely purchased a dataset with this address in it:
