Didn’t think this image could possibly get any more absurd while still being accurate and yet now you can just replace the lady with automatic emails. Capitalism truly breeds innovation

The Orleans Parish Communication District (OPCD) is changing the way dispatch calls are handled in New Orleans with the implementation of new technology.

There’s a lot of things to blame the police for, but this isn’t one of them. Besides, emergency services aren’t just cops. Why would they have all the say over a hotline they compose only one facet of?

Ironically mansplaining as a term is often used in a condescending manner (such as here)

Obviously all Canadians being nice was bullshit lol, it’s a textbook stereotype. I’m afraid you have no one to blame but yourself for taking that at face value.

Using “objectively” and “shitty” one after the other is an interesting choice considering how morality is inherently subjective but I’m happy if you’re happy I guess

The holier-than-thou mentality really doesn’t hold up to any standard of practicality when it comes to relations between countries. No doubt people are struggling in the US, yet purely because of the fact that there are more people living outside of the US as opposed to within its territories, you better believe I’m going to be grateful when non-US folk are doing better than US ones, especially since it’s in spite of everything the latter has done.

Plus a little schadenfraude for all the problems we’ve overcome and even improved ourselves through after the US sent them our way, it’s good for morale after all.

But by your own definition of bigotry there’s none of that to be found in this thread. Sure, you could construe an intolerance of people from the US (even though it’s more like intolerance of their many years of harmful bullshit) but there’s absolutely no partiality toward any group. It’s purely frustration at the US and many of its citizens’ stubborn unwillingness to own up to the countless problems their country has caused across generations, let alone right now.

Mhm… I’m sure you have some solid reasoning for that claim that you’re withholding for good cause and not for a complete lack of substance.

Ever heard of realpolitik? Being righteous doesn’t matter on a geopolitical scale, especially not when it comes to an imperial superpower currently in the midst of its death throes. I’m afraid you’ll have to come to terms with billions of people understandably revelling in hundreds of years of a country’s utter nonsense finally returning itself to sender. Might be irrational, but it’s definitely not without precedent.

I don't disagree. My point though is that artificial intelligence and what can be considered as such isn't the same as what can be considered human intelligence. They don't share very many mutual aspects aside from those on a very broad and non-specific scale. Therefore considering things such as LLMs an AI isn't necessarily a misnomer.

AI as a term is constantly changing when it comes to what we actually consider to be meeting its criteria. When chess playing bots were starting to get really good in the 90s for example, people commonly considered that the pinnacle of AI until they got used to it and started to dissociate from that. Rinse and repeat with LLMs today.

Besides, AI is a field, not necessarily a technology, and the capabilities a computer requires for it to be considered “intelligent” aren’t even remotely similar to that of a human being. You can consider a computer intelligent without it being necessarily illogical.

you’d think one of them would wake up.

I think they’re pretty much all awake already. No one is convincing them to be like this or blinding them of common sense, they choose to act this way. Typically either because of self-centred greed or pure stupidity, or both.

Of course there’s also that quote about how people who rely on not understanding something to make a salary will never do otherwise.
