@KingShawn@mentallyalex Sorry, I didn't mean to minimize his death or the cause of it. I was trying to point out that the act of passing take bills to homeless people isn't as harmless as the person I was directly replying to was trying to imply when he was saying that the police "wouldn't arrest" them for trying to spend the bills. The police officer did murder George Floyd after the fake 20 incident. The same could happen to others for the same thing.
The electricians are here and they are going to replace the base board heaters upstairs. After they are done I'll move my desk back and get my computer up and running again. We might have a stream tonight yet, if I feel up for it.
And they are done! My desk is back where it was but I still have to plug in my computer. I think that will take half an hour since I also have a bunch of cables that need "managing". I'll do that after work and see if I am up for an afternoon stream. ♥️
"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [1/3]
Casual non-techy coworkers yesterday were talking about using excel reports to analyze data & turns out two of the people use #ChatGPT to know how to do something in excel.
So, before this #AI stuff, if you were like, "how do I do X in Excel" in google, you'd get a bunch of hits and then have to wade through the results to see which link was actually what you were looking for, then test out if their solution works.
@renwillis@tess Yeah they've been demonstrably degrading search results since at least 2015, probably earlier. The AI "boom" is just accelerating that trend.
@Merovius@bagder@LangerJan Well, that part is true. You could definitely use curl for reading the forums. However, a web browser is much more convenient. 😉
