At this point you can’t trust Google anymore, it keeps breaking things. Imagine having Google AI do this thins automatically. Will have apocalypse in in a day.

Yes, AI should be used as a tool for very specific things. Ones it’s trained on everything it’s completely useless. Anyone who is trying to use it for everyone will fail. I predict by 2030 (if not much sooner) ai bubble will burst. The only good outcome will be all this hardware used will be lequdated for pennies. Mark this prediction it will happen ;-)

Combining AI with VR we can even achieve something like time travel ;-)

I think everyone should now make mistakes so we ca distinguish human vs ai.

Yeah AI scrapers is one of the reasons why i have closed my public website https://tvnfo.com and only left donors site online. It’s not only because of AI scrapers but i grew tired of people trying to scrape the site eating a lot of reasorcers this small project don’t have. Very sad really it was publicly online since 2016. Now it’s only available for donors. Running a tiny project on just $60 a month. If this was not my hobby i would close it completely long time ago :-) Who know if there is more support in the future i might reopen public site again with something like anubes bot protection. But i thought it was only small sites like mine who gets hit hard, looks like many have similar issues. Soon nothing will be open or useful online. I wonder if this was the plan all along whoever pushing AI on massive scale.

“In fact, so rare it is to find someone who knows what I mean that it feels like a magic moment.”

There, lack of interest from the person you talking to or you when listening. It’s because you have different interests. This is a human feature not a flaw. But it’s interesting to think that LLMs might have similar behavior :-)

“I’ll never again ask a human to write a computer program shorter than about a thousand lines, since an LLM will do it better.”

From my personal experience with ChatGPT it can’t even correctly write few lines of code. But i don’t use AI often. I just don’t find it that useful. From what i see it’s mostly a hype bubble that will burst.

But this is my personal opinion and my own observation. I could be wrong :-)

This is incredible technology. Now do computer glasses with AI and you won’t need separate devices like phone.

This also happens a lot on AliExpress most storage devices are fake. Some 64gb flash drives, sd cards or 320gb 2.5 mobile hdds are okay. But you should run f3 test on any new drive you buy.

Let’s hope it still works at least on ungoogled chromium with manual setup. As soon as this stops working i’m back to only using firefox for good.
