Tech bros all suck / AI is going to ruin the world containment

This Sam Altman guy seems just wonderful. All the pikachus.

AI is going to be a fucking disaster.

Maybe it won’t be climate change that does us in after all.

Hahaha are you fucking serious Microsoft? Who is asking for this?

What does Zesty AI do?

Zesty’s AI system trains on massive datasets that consist of aerial imagery, weather, and real estate data to generate accurate assessments of climate risk.

Oh yeah they’re assessing climate risk. That sounds good right?

Cindy Picos was dropped by her home insurer last month. The reason: aerial photos of her roof, which her insurer refused to let her see.

“I thought they had the wrong house,” said Picos, who lives in northern California. “Our roof is in fine shape.”

Her insurer said its images showed her roof had “lived its life expectancy.” Picos paid for an independent inspection that found the roof had another 10 years of life. Her insurer declined to reconsider its decision.

Homeowners insurance is currently a crisis in major parts of the country and they’re gonna use this to cancel more policies haha of course they are.

:harold:

My parents had some shit like this, like their insurance company recently warned them they weren’t maintaining trees on their property because of aerial photos?

Yes my parents got a letter that their homeowners would not be renewed because of an aging and damaged shingled roof. Problem is they don’t have a shingled roof. It’s a metal roof that’s not old and in perfect condition. They were out of town so I mostly had to handle this and JFC I just wanted to reach through the phone and twist their lying heads off Banebeer style.

Absolutely incredible that Google is destroying its core product to deliver completely nonfunctional AI slop that no one asked for. The future of computing will be 50 AI bots running in the background that you may or may not be able to turn off, burning through ungodly amounts of energy. The entire tech industry is just a massive scam machine full of Ramasawmys trying to hype the shit out of AI products that clearly do not work.

Used to could be you’d just type “how do I beat this boss” in google.com. you’d be sent to a plaintext GameFAQ written by some nerd with exactly what you needed. Now I guess your Xbox will have constant AI spyware you can’t disable that tries to answer questions by scraping nfo from GameFAQs.

What the fuck?

It’s just fucking awesome we are letting the most depraved soulless morons on planet earth be in charge of this, Stanley Kubrick is shocked at how stupid this all is from the grave.

Do they add some randomness to responses? I never get the same response as the tweets with same prompts? Like it’s always close but different.

I don’t get it? Is it just a trend to make fake responses or are they really this different depending who/when the prompt is entered? I typed exact same prompt

Same, and it told me to add glue

For reasons I don’t understand, I’m not getting the AI searches, so I can’t really confirm the memes.

Did you even stop to consider whether some Elmers would help?!

This is superb. It is Matt Levine meets Hamilton Nolan.

What a world we live in where Google’s AI engine is powered in part by Fucksmith.
