As another (local) AI enthusiast I think the point where AI goes from “great” to “just hype” is when it’s expected to generate the correct response, image, etc on the first try.

For example, telling an AI to generate a dozen images from a prompt then picking a good one or re-working the prompt a few times to get what you want. That works fantastically well 90% of the time (assuming you’re generating something it has been trained on).

Expecting AI to respond with the correct answer when given a query > 50% of the time or expecting it not to get it dangerously wrong? Hype. 100% hype.

It’ll be a number of years before AI is trustworthy enough not to hallucinate bullshit or generate the exact image you want on the first try.

In short: They’re not. They’re basically guessing at this point for anyone under 50.

Not only that but anyone under 50 who they do reach is the type of person who doesn’t use an ad blocker. In other words, iPhone users and the ignorant.

Depends on the family. In my family we give two shits.

In the past he’s said it takes him six or seven flushes to get anything down.

Stealing political yard signs? No.

Marking up political yard signs? Yes.

On my way to vote today I saw a trump sign that had “FELON” and “RAPIST” graffitied on it. That’s a much clearer message than if there were no sign there.

It was quite respectful, actually… It still very clearly said, “Trump/Vance” it was just given some flair and it wasn’t even untrue 👍

It’s probably just full of unplayed Steam games.

The death penalty should be reserved for people who absolutely will continue to commit great crimes (e.g. murder) even after they’re imprisoned. Example: A crime boss that issues orders to have people murdered via visits from their lawyer.

Someone like that–even from within prison–has too much of a negative impact on society to be allowed to live. You can’t take away their basic rights (like the right to a lawyer) so the most humane thing to do would be to end them as peacefully as possible. Otherwise you’re going to allow them to continue committing crimes, racking up victims, and degrading society as a whole.

A convicted pedophile rapist will be incapable of committing that same sort of crime as long as they are imprisoned. Hence it’s not necessary to execute them.

Well, they put my Low-Poly Rose Twist Vase in the background so it seems legit 🤷

Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you’ll have your answer 👍

Age discrimination is bad.

Building your own keyboard is supposed to be fun. You do some research to figure out what you want. Maybe order some sample switches to try out, pick out a keycap set you like, and eventually settle on a kit.

When you order your kit it’ll include a case, a top plate, and a circuit board. If you get one with hot swap sockets you will not have to solder anything. You can literally just press the switches in.

Then when you’re done you screw everything together, put your keycaps on, and you have a working keyboard. Sometimes you have to flash the firmware as a final step but that’s not rocket science. You do not have to know how to program.

You don’t have to solder if you use hot swap sockets for your switches. Even if you never plan to swap the switches the hot swap sockets mean you’ll never have to solder a thing 👍

Republicans are all about the nanny state. Tracking periods, banning books, deciding who gets to have what medications/medical treatments (instead of doctors), trying to control what websites publish, etc.

Mayor: [shoots some black guy] “What? It’s the same as the cops.”

Just build your own keyboard. That’s what I did (and it turned out fantastic) 🤷

Mice are much easier to deal with since there’s 500 million of them to choose from. Just pick a generic, no-name brand that doesn’t need drivers and you’re all set.

Aside: Building a keyboard isn’t rocket science. It’s just a bit tedious (buy a kit). Unless you invent your own 3D printable keyboard switch and stabilizers from scratch then design an analog circuit board to work with them (also from scratch). Then it’s a bit more like rocket science 🤣

I just shake the water off like a dog.

Hmm… This dude is so nasty he probably sucks his own shit through a straw every day in order to maintain the high degree of excrement that he regularly and publicly vomits from his mouth. What could make this guy so ashamed that he’s going to drop out of the race? What would upset his base that much that it would amount to a serious betrayal of their ideals?

Donating to a liberal cause?

Housing poor people/illegal immigrants?

He went to some socialist country for healthcare?

He’s secretly trans and got an abortion before transitioning?

Use a robot to secretly paint “Kamala” on his lawn. For bonus points use AI to generate an image of him kissing Kamala and use that as the image (wonder what kind of resolution one can get on a lawn? 🤔)

Two of our (gay couple) neighbors said something similar to me a while back: They’re too afraid to put up a sign or flag.

My house doesn’t have any LGBTQ people living in it but we have a HUGE fucking LGBTQ flag right across from the American flag. It’s been such a blessing too! Now the most annoying of my neighbors don’t try to smalltalk with me anymore about their absolutely batshit insane conspiracy theories 👍

Just your average dead whale beheading to bring home the trophy. Nothing special!
