snf@lemmy.worldto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•An observation I've made about the usual apologists.8·8 days agoHmmm, is this true? The fact that AI corpos are talking about standing up brand new power plants just to keep their GPU farms running makes me a little dubious of this claim. I don’t remember Ubisoft ever being that desperate for wattage

snf@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Wildlife experts remove a plastic lid that was stuck on a Michigan bear’s neck for two years5·23 days agoBear baiting is legal in Michigan, but the hole on a barrel lid typically must be large enough to avoid what happened to this bear.
What the almighty fuck, Michigan?
Yeah, it could be rephrased a little as well, like “guess I stood up too fast again”
I was actually wondering about that but was too lazy to check. Thanks for the correction
snf@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor BacklashEnglish75·1 month agoIt pains me to argue this point, but are you sure there isn’t a legitimate use case just this once? The text says that this was aimed at making Wikipedia more accessible to less advanced readers, like (I assume) people whose first language is not English. Judging by the screenshot they’re also being fully transparent about it. I don’t know if this is actually a good idea but it seems the least objectionable use of generative AI I’ve seen so far.
It doesn’t scan. But it’s not bothering me. Nope not at all. Not in any way annoyed by the fact that there’s one too many syllables in the second
verseline. Only a complete pedant would get HUNG UP ON THAT RIGHT HAHAHAHAHA

'Cause your friends don’t dance
And if they don’t dance
That’s a personal choice and I suppose we could be friends anyways, I mean dancing isn’t really a fundamental criterion as far as choosing friends is concerned, but right this moment we’re going dancing so I don’t think your friends would enjoy it being as they don’t dance unless I guess they just want to enjoy the music that would be perfectly fine
Rhyming “do ya” and “hallelujah” has got to be one of the ballsiest plays in music history
It still is, specifically it’s an unrealistically optimistic utopia. Relatively speaking.
It was supposed to be the taint, you fool! You’ve doomed us all!
I guess a three-egg omelette is out of the question then

What happened with that change to signage laws that was going to require tens of millions of dollars to update eg “Canadian Tire” to “Magasin Canadian Tire” and whatnot?
How does The Wind Rises fit into this?
Plot spoilers
I’ve always been a bit puzzled at that one, given that the protagonist spends most of the storyline designing and building warplanes. He’s apparently motivated purely by the love of flight, but consequences are never directly addressed, except for maybe at the end when he comments on how they all got destroyed. Is he wilfully oblivious? Is he on board with Japanese aggression? Is this a comment on the “just doing my job” people involved in any war effort?

I’m sorry, who with the what now?
Is the Pixel 3 old enough that I’m out of range of this bullshit?
