CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

ech,

It wouldn’t be anything specific. The disclaimers would just be overbroad stuff like “Please verify this answer. Google is not responsible for anything. Blah blah blah.”

ech,

Even saying they’re guessing is wrong, as that implies intention. LLMs aren’t trying to give an answer, let alone a correct answer. They just put words together.

ech,

While I didn’t know specific dates, I’m not surprised by the ones I know by name here, tbh. Flavorful food was a luxury for most until relatively recently, and along with the large cultural changes going on last century, these all make sense.

George Lucas Defends 'Star Wars' from Criticisms That 'It's All White Men': 'Most of the People Are Aliens!' (people.com)

On Friday, May 24, Lucas — who celebrated his 80th birthday on May 14 — appeared at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival ahead of his honorary Palme d’Or ceremony on May 25. During a conversation at the festival, the filmmaking icon spoke to how some critics of his massively successful space opera franchise have pointed out a...

ech,

Dunno what I’m supposed to call it in your opinion, but mocking me for it is uncalled for.

ech,

Star Wars has pretty much always been more than just movies though. Books, shows, games, etc. That’s what I mean by IP. If you’ve got a better term, feel free to share.

ech,

Aliens that look remarkably like modern day humans, yah dink (directed at Lucas). While I do think SW was largely progressive for it’s time, the prejudices are readily apparent now. There are somewhat powerful women, but still so often acquiescent story-wise to the male characters who dictate the main plot points.

And characters of color never happen to break into the main character position, do they? They can be badass motherfuckers, and they do get time to shine, but they too sit at the whims of the main characters.

I get George has a different perspective being the age he is, but things change and progress. Star Wars is one of my favorite IPs, but we can acknowledge good things in the past weren’t perfect. It’s how we know we’re improving.

ech,

Pretty sure you can see the socks through the holes.

Adds material to guard foot from high water or mud

Still has holes all over

I know “fashion” usually disregards utility, but come on. So pointless.

ech,

It’s EULA (End-User License Agreement), just fyi.

ech,

Anger issues much? I’m literally just letting you know about your mistake so you can fix it.

ech,

Is this a scan of an official release? It’d be kind of amazing to see a parks and rec reference like that.

ech,

For the upteenth time - an llm just puts words together, it isn’t a magic answer machine.

ech,

Huh, that’s a good point. A better universal naming system would be something like “Base x+1”, with x being one integer lower than 10. So humans would use Base 9+1, and the alien would use Base 3+1.

*This has been on my mind all day and the more I think about it, the more obvious it becomes how fundamentally terrible the name “Base-10” is. How did this never occur to the people who coined the term? Even the system I suggested is flawed as it’s still trying to incorporate the same bad logic.

A better system would be something like Base 9, stopping shy of the respective 10 in each system, or if it needs to be clarified, Base 9+0, as 0 is the extra digit in the first place, not 10.

Being drunk isn’t an excuse to be a shitty person.

The alternative is ID verification.

“We’re gonna need a bigger cow…”

ech,

But how do i test it without thinking about thinking about lemons in the future?

ech,

I know phantoms suck, but making them a natural spawning end mob would be much worse, imo, not better. At least now they only exist if the player forgets/chooses not to sleep.

ech,

The scourge of single-issue voters. The party spits in their face, but it’s all ok if they “support” the right thing.

The Biden Campaign Has a Trump-Fatigue Problem (nymag.com)

Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a strategic dilemma. Since the president’s job-approval ratings have been consistently low, his path to reelection depends on making 2024 a comparative choice between himself and Donald Trump, his scary, extremist predecessor. That task is becoming more urgent as evidence emerges that a sizable...

ech,

One, fatigue isn’t about forgetting, it’s about not caring. Second, more than one problem can exist at once.

ech,

Not only are the numbers weird, the games within the series (more than just the main 3) came out as exclusives to a wide variety of platforms. KH has such a bizarre history.

ech, (edited )

You’re still rewarding the Epic exclusivity by giving them your money now. They get the bonus cash from Epic and your purchase years later.

ech, (edited )

They don’t care. They already got what they wanted.
