It's true in the sense that it's fantastic at laying down a template for your ideas, which you can then refine and finesse yourself.

The only issue is what capitalism is doing with it. I use AI a lot for my daily job, but it fills me with dread knowing how limited my future is because of it.

The Luddites didn't smash all those machines because they were afraid of them. They were more than happy to use the fancy new tools to make them more efficient. They just didn't want to sacrifice their standard of living to do it.

If these two ever set foot in a room, my guy will just start air guitaring chords and your guy won't be able to leave

But you can enter in real search data as a prompt, and use its training to summarize it. (Or it can fill its own prompt automatically from an automatic search)

It won't/can't update it's priors, and I agree with you there, but it can produce novel output on a novel prompt with its existing model/weights

oh yep that'll do it.

I wanted to chainsaw a tree as a kid. Now that ive climbed a tree as an adult and chopped its limbs off whilst hoping the chain doesn't snap - I'm done.

Back to planting, and nurturing thanks

What's the message here

The joke is one of them is mirroring an outlandish villain plot from the 60s

The comment is all of them appear to be following that trend

HISHE Tron

"This part goes out to those who get offended
If we don't show how TRON should have ended
Stop the MCP once and for all
No need to go inside just: [Bleep!]"

I mean we have a pretty decent comedian in the UK dedicated to a single editor

As any lingering hope drained out of his body, he smiled and masturbated himself one last time to the idea that he was right to never dare to hope in the first place.

No, but in a war they would side with the insects

it's 80%, 65% of the time :-)

80% prediction rate isn't anything to bank on :P

 

I think I used to be "Dangerous Hill 12%" but now I'm all "Give way"

 

You can't say middleclass without it. Get outta here with that vertical noise

Zoom in to town overview level, and follow the river up.

Take a guess at where the source it is, and see if it aligns with where you end up

 

Trick or Treat

Apparently originated in Canada in the 1920s, who copied it from "(dis)guising" from Scotland/Ireland.

Guising / Souling

involved kids singing at a door around October, or November.

"Ma feet's cauld, my shune's thin;
Please my cakes an' let me rin."

After which they'd get cakes and lemonade

English people claimed it was a weird invention from the US when it came over in the 1980s. Scots and Irish though it was just a weird resurgence of Guising.


Pumpkin

Not native to the UK, we used to put candles in turnips. It migrated to the US and they changed it to a pumpkin and we took it back that way


Guy Fawkes

Kids used to wheel around a straw effigy and ask "penny for the guy" but apparently (according to BBC and Wikipedia) it's a new invention (1910) invented by Big Fireworks to sell fireworks on 5th November to kids as "Fireworks Night".
