I think the same theory works for everything- including generic replies to comments on Lemmy.

You don’t use search? Like you don’t use duckduckgo or anything?

“A traditional Google search is still best for the simple act of looking for things to do nearby, but AI Mode could prove to be a nifty tool for more tedious tasks like product research for online shopping — an instant chart comparing baby car seats is helpful, even if imperfect. Just always check the answers.”

Exactly my experience. I don’t understand people who go to chatgpt first.

enshitify before the IPO

I always see it after. Because then the suits take over and it becomes a mandate to increase profits quarterly for the share holders. IPOs want to show happy users to sell the idea of future revenue from milking those users.

Yeah. It can be set on or off as default when CC is activated.

You absolutely can judge your own behavior when you are impaired

By the time you realized it you were already impaired. That’s why professional drivers have a schedule. It’s not up to them to decide for themselves that they could go longer.

I have a Toyota with lane assist and it doesn’t. The “lane assist” is part of cruise control. It’s off by default.

I love it because it removes a little of the mental load giving me more time to scan the road for potential problems.

Off by default should be the default.

That’s easier said than done. You can’t judge your own behavior when impaired because you are impaired. By the time you are aware you are that tired, you’ve already been impaired for a long time.

. Sure, the technology would be there and people would run amateur ip networks, or secretly piggyback of official uses, but it would be more like the dark net / tor than what actually happened.

The early Internet was exactly like Tor and darknet. Before DNS servers were ubiquitous, I’d go to an ftp site every morning that kept hosts lists and downloaded a hosts file to give me names matched to ip addresses. If darknet was the norm, a darknet DNS would be created and it would be the “Internet” but on different protocols.

The only scenario I can imagine is something like North Korea where people are so poor that they don’t have access to computers/phones which allows the government to restrict Internet to official cafes.

While it could be interesting, I don’t think it’s realistic. Before everyone had Internet, there was Fidonet. Trolls were on BBS FidoNet.

Before FidoNet there were Ham radio operators relaying across the world. There were Trolls on Ham when Ham was used by many during the 1970’s CB craze.

There is something inherently cool about communicating with people across the globe. So a few technical people make it happy and the masses use it.

So any communication medium evolves into an Internet even if the underlying technology is different.

The best you could realistically do is assume something causes an bandwidth limit of say 9600 bps. There would still be an Internet with all the problems but it would be text based.

The entire MacOS including finder and the tools was 216KB on the 400KB floppy.

The original Macintosh had 128k of ram.

That is not really true. Yes, there are jump instructions being executed when you run interference on a model, but they are in no way related to the model itself.

The model is data. It needs to be operated on to get information out. That means lots of JMPs.

If someone said viewing a gif is just a bunch of if-else’s, that’s also true. That the data in the gif isn’t itself a bunch of if-else’s isn’t relevant.

Executing LLM’S is particularly JMP heavy. It’s why you need massive fast ram because caching doesn’t help them.

Given that the weights in a model are transformed into a set of conditional if statements (GPU or CPU JMP machine code), he’s not technically wrong. Of course, it’s more than just JMP and JMP represents the entire class of jump commands like JE and JZ. Something needs to act on the results of the TMULs.

AI didn’t write the insurance policy. It only helped him search for the best deal. That’s like saying your insurance company will cancel you because you used a phone to comparison shop.

It’s likely intentional. What’s the point of a good reputation if you don’t milk it for profit? Bestbuy alternates between good and bad. Build a good reputation, the cut corners for profit for several years until people notice while banking that profit. Then restart the good reputation.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that MS fixed Windows search when Google had its Google Desktop search product and Windows Search went back to horrible when Google discontinued Desktop Search.

You can find files faster on Windows by using the command line dir command with recursion switch and watch every directory tree scroll by until it finds the file than wait for the GUI even when Indexed.

This came out a while ago. The developer used a license that said, “Steal this software, I don’t care.” Then he was shocked Pikachu when it was stolen.

His problem is the exact reason GPL was created.

It’s still big for kids. At least one kid per class did a laser tag birthday every year throughout elementary school.
