Beautiful. I like those waves.

Is that a hairless cat with hair?

Well, I do wish they would promote the actual use and limitations of AI and stop making up crap and overselling the use cases. I use ChatGPT at work all the time as a start for research, but if I took any of it as being reliable info to run with I would be in grave trouble. It is a great tool that has saved me much time because I know how far to trust it and how to use it. The progress is very impressive as I’ve been using AI art services for years, and the difference between the random blobs from back then and the great stuff it can generate now is pretty stark. Same thing with the LLMs. I’ve been using ChatGPT since it showed up and it has improved greatly since then. Before all this I talked to people who were using AI training on various picture recognition projects where getting data from other sensors was not practical. … Overall AI is pretty exciting, but the non-stop hype and hate headlines is doing nobody any favors.

Hmm. I never watch Youtube Kids, but regular Youtube is one of my primary entertainment sources. All I get if I keep scrolling are people making food, game play throughs, science channels, animation, AMVs. The worst thing I see are music videos no worse than MTV had… Maybe you should just ban them from YouTube Kids… My biggest complaint is that I have to manually click on subscriptions to see the things I subscribed to. I pay for premium, so maybe that makes a difference?

How about he take the case and throw it instead of wimping out?

Yeah, anybody acting like this was unexpected and not exactly what they were going for is deluded or is trying to delude somebody…

Stop begging for censorship. That never ends up good. Accurate tagging of media is what we need and a way to filter that ourselves.

When they are older I guess you can beg big brother and nanny state to hold their hand.

I wish they would tone down the crusade. This is some of the most interesting technology to come out in decades.

You are correct about the meaning being not to have other gods, I didn’t say it was a mistranslation. I said they are purposefully taking the alternate and more popular meaning of the word “before”. In the scripture it means ‘in front of’ or ‘in my sight’. They take the meaning as ‘in line in front of’. Because of the eccentricities of English and many other languages, the meaning could be taken either way if you didn’t have context. Also, the joke hinges on ignoring that mentioning other gods doesn’t mean they exist or exist in the way they are purported to exist. In that German translation from the post I was replying to, the translation was more specific and didn’t lend as much confusion.

The joke hinges on misusing an alternate meaning to an English word that is a translation already from ancient Hebrew (likely via Latin). I am pretty sure the artist is well aware of this. Of course, some people will read this comic and think they discovered some profound contradiction…

I don’t have a single problem with the word “application”

As is your right and duty.

Yeah, I thought I made that clear. I just don’t like it.

Oh, it is. It is… Sigh.

I fought hard against that for years. I still only use ‘app’ for phone programs, but I stopped correcting people every time they used the term for anything else. It isn’t technically wrong, but it grates on my nerves for some reason.

CEO taps the 60% number and smiles. “What I see here, people, is room for growth! Inform the shareholders.”

That is definitely his plan. Why else would he be so loud and purposefully using language designed to make people furious? I don’t think the tariffs are his end game, but he is keeping something hidden behind all these theatrics. He is (probably) not going to run again, so what else could he be up to working everybody up like this? Could be that he is desperately hoping to slip away without going to prison for all his other crap.
