Does anyone hate how many people are apparently immediately turning to ai.
Yes.
People are so hypocritical about it. “I’m scared AI might take my job.” Then 5 seconds later they’re asking google AI the answer to really simple questions.
I’m so sick and tired of hearing my friend talk to gemini and alexa(google and amazon ais).
People were already trusting anything and everything without batting an eye. LLMs are just the natural continuation of that.
Bullshit generator on demand at the little cost of burning the planet.
I agree with you fully
I don’t feel like there’s much difference between this and what happened when google became popular
I mean subject matter expert at work. I’ve had multiple times where I told somebody the answer to something. Going to have them paste their question and the response from AI in the chat after… ‘confirming’ what I said.
Are people really doing this @grok?
yes but also to be fair this is a Twitter user
“Does anyone hate that everyone is turning to google” – Someone in 1999
And here we are, 30 years later. Google owns the world and is tracking everyone so they can sell their data to advertisers on an increasingly enshittified internet. While pushing increasingly resource intensive, useless LLMs.
Not sure what point you were trying to make.
My point is life changes, the world changes, society changes and every time that a big change happens there are people who adapt and people who see it as a catastrophe and try to fight it back. But you can’t fight change you can only adapt.
AI isn’t the end of the world, it’s just a tool.
We were already heading towards global climate extinction, widening inequality, and automated war. These are not things biological life can adapt to. AI is not upgrading from analog to digital. It supercharges the rate of our demise.
Sure, let’s ask MechaHitler if the dictionary has a correct definition.
Theyre on twitter. The brain cells died a long time ago.
In Spanish it’s called “metraje”, for obvious reasons.
Where do you think Grok gets the info?
Elon Musk’s asshole. Duh.
Grok gives the Roganites a way to feel like they’re verifying information, without needing actual knowledge, or experts, or any reduction in their Dunning-Kruger effect.
They think grok is Jamie.
I see x.com screenshots I downvote
@grok is this AI?
It’s amazing how many names for things come from a different era. Even “movies” is from “moving pictures” which is how they described a new thing in terms of an old familiar thing, pictures. Also “film” comes from a thin coating of chemical gel on glass photographic plates, which evolved to mean the coating plus the plastic once photography moved from glass plates to flexible plastic rolls. Also, why do we “shoot” movies?
One of the most prolific is canna, which is Latin for reed, tube, or pipe. Turns out you can get a LOT of mileage from that meaning:
Cane: Referring to the plant, walking stick, or slender rod.
Canal: An artificial waterway, from the Latin canalis (pipe/groove).
Channel: A conduit or passage.
Cannon: From Italian cannone, meaning “large tube”.
Canon: A rule or standard (originally from a reed used as a measuring stick).
Cannibal: Historically connected to this root through a complex path involving “Carib”.
Cannister / Canister: A container, often cylindrical.
Cannula: A small tube for insertion into the body.
Canyon: Derived via Spanish cañón (tube/pipe).
I’m going to guess that shooting comes from pointing the camera at something and pulling a trigger to start, which with the old hardware wasn’t dissimilar to the steps to shoot a machine gun except slightly quieter.
After typing that out I checked and it looks like I guessed right!
Interesting then if the term “shot” comes from motion pictures but slipped “backwards” to include still pictures, which had a completely different mechanism.
The earliest cameras had no real “mechanism.” You would prepare a plate, often still wet with chemicals, load it into the camera, bring the camera out of the dark room, set up your subject, who would have to hold still for minutes at a time, and then just…take off the lens cap.
Because what’s the point of an automatic shutter when it takes minutes of exposure to get a viewable image?
Who knows when the term “shot” was first used though.
Also, at no point did still cameras use a hand crank, which is apparently what made early motion picture cameras look like early machine guns.
I could probably come up with a still camera with a crank. Manual cameras, those without a motor to advance the film, would have a knob of some sort so that the photographer could advance to the next frame of film. For retracting the film back into the cartridge when the roll is done, many cameras have a little crank that folds out of the knob for quickly rewinding. But yes you don’t turn a crank to take pictures like with an old timey movie camera.
Since we’re talking about ye olde timey vocabulareye that became obsolete but still stuck, achieving the effect of everything moving unusually fast or unusually slow was called undercranking or overcranking respectively.
Where do you think grok gets the info?
At least some of it, it pulls directly out of the ass of musk.
I’ll take the musk of ass over the ass of Musk any day
Oh, another imperial fun fact. There’s 16 frames in a foot of 35mm film. Way easier to remember than how many yards in a mile and all the other things.
Merrian is booming out. It gets it from Grokipedia
That cat really needs to lay off the spray paint…
One of my boys was washing the dishes a couple of weeks ago. The oldest (not the same one) has never washed dishes properly, always not enough detergent and cold water. I’ve gone over and checked to see if the water was hot enough and that it was sudsing. The eldest has come in, said ‘you don’t need hot water or much detergent’. I ignored him as I’ve taught him all this before and he didn’t listen, so he got the shits with me and marched outside. I followed him out after and he gave me a mouthful about how I embarrassed him in front of other family members and I’m a know all know nothing.
Anyway, out comes the AI he subscribes to, and it tells him that ‘yes, hot as it can be withstood if possible as this ensures grease removal, and aiding the detergent in breaking grease down’. I then got another mouthful for being a smart arse and this time it was added with ‘you’re always such a smartarse about it’, when I never said a word to him.
Where does he think AI gets this kind of information from?
You don’t need hot water though? in my family, and guessing my entire culture, we wash with tap water and just scrub until it’s clean
You don’t need hot water, it just makes stuff more soluble faster, is more pleasant to wash with, and makes rinsing off the soap WAY faster.
Also, if you rinse off your dishes as soon as you’re done eating, or soak them in hot water, you barely need to scrub.
So, you don’t NEED hot water, it just saves a ton of time. I spend maybe 20 minutes a week total doing dishes. Having a dishwasher helps a lot, too.
Oh ok nice, the more you know
It’s not totally necessary but you’re using a fair bit of detergent if you’re not and making dish life a lot more difficult for yourself. You really should be if you can and as hot as you can stand it. Hot water alone is one of the best solvents out there, I even use it to help break clay down.
Got it
I’m sorry your child was lost to AI.
Kids talking back to their parents is as old as time. Before they were lost to AI, it was social media. Before that, it was 4chan or SomethingAwful. Before that it was IRC or forums or newsgroups. Before that it was BBSes and D&D. Before that it was TV and video games and movies and comic books.
On and on and on it goes.
A child reading a comic book and talking back to a parent is definitely not a logical equivalent to a kid using LLM’s habitually and talking back to their parent.
This battle is not over, he’s learning
The sad reality is that people never change their mind in the moment, and if they do, they won’t tell you. People are emotional creatures. His ego was 100% in defense mode. All that said, he could very well use more detergent and warmer water next time. At least as long as his parent isn’t around to see lol.
(Edit: Reading this back it feels really condescending. To be clear, I’m the same way. I think everyone is. I’m no exception. I’ve caught myself doing this after the fact.)
Yeah nah he’s taken it well in the end. You’re right though, it was ego defense. It’s funny, I recall trying to teach him and his sisters together years ago but he objected, saying it’s something he can work out for himself and I’ve reminded him a couple of times since but it’s never sunk in till this episode and he had to admit I was right about it.
Shit, I thought it was derived from photo, somehow
Phootage?
