@cstross …which is why I don’t use it for that purpose.

Of course, I’ve asked ChatGPT for nonessential programming, like making a Quine in 6502 assembly, and it succeeded in doing that. But for normal work, I don’t dare touch it because if it makes a mistake, then I will have no idea how to fix it.

@cstross i'm surprised it is only 52% and not much higher.

@cstross Hope healthcare, transportation aren't using AI for it because that's a whole lot of risk. They'd better lawyer up for the bugs that cause accidents and death.

@cstross Great article. I'm just confused why all of the subsections start with Linkin Park lyrics.

@cstross The first thing we do is, let’s kill all the MBAs.

@cstross @sepdroid That really was worth reading. I don’t pay much attention to the game or entertainment industry in general, but the theme certainly resonated with me.

@cstross We should encourage Zuckerberg to adopt these creatures and return him to the soil as is Nature's way.

@cstross Are you looking at my eggs!?

@cstross but have you considered ROBOT murder chicken?
(from Australia's murder chicken capital, Kuranda)

@cstross that’s a good read, and the whole blog has some great content.

@cstross "They hired some incredibly talented people to make this happen, and then like five times as many idiots." A distillation of how the world works.

@cstross "My team has spun this as a huge cost saving, when really we just applied a fire extinguisher to the pile of money that we had set alight."

@cstross @lisamelton Ok, let me try: Electric cars are a dead end, the future is bikes, walking and public transportation😁That’s what they want, right?

@cstross
Electric cars are a dead end...

...because cars and car centric infrastructure is a dead end. The future belongs to walkable infrastructure supported by train supremacy.

@cstross I have seen a lot of posts like that on TikTok and on Apple's news aggregator but not here, mercifully.

@cstross last week I was floating ways to monkey wrench 3DP specifically ones printing guns

@cstross CASE NIGHTMARE NURDLE

@cstross Not looking forward to "Missile Gap" coming true, I've got to tell you.

@cstross Who were her friends in the government, and is anyone looking into them? Because...I kinda think someone should at least have a cursory glance at any gov't employees she hung out with.

@cstross Maybe she and Snowden can share flat in Moscow.

@cstross we’re already seeing fallout from the writers’ strike.

Update from comments: I'm SURE it's just a coincidence that training neural networks and mining cryptocurrencies are both applications that benefit from very large arrays of GPUs.

If *I* was a VC I'd be hiring complexity theory nerds to figure out what areas of research are promising once you have Yottaflops of numerical processing power available, then place bets on AMD, Nvidia, and (maybe) Intel going there and start seeding the field and hiring PR firms.

@cstross This is the content Mastodon has been missing, yaaassss

@cstross I'm having flashbacks to some page-and-a-half overly detailed boobs-boobily description of donning a MCP suit from some "classic" SF.

@cstross In space no one can hear you scream ... your safe word.

@cstross That dude in the middle right appears to have started bleeding from his nose. I suspect there are one or more cognitohazards present...

BRB gotta get some tissues /j 😅

@cstross Hook that AI up to a 3-D printer, and let the Great Old Ones stalk the earth once more!
