It means off by default for starters.

“people first”

puts AI in

It sucks specifically because the megacorps want to make the AI look better than it is and because they want to keep people on search results pages…

The shittyness is a feature to these vultures.

and the right click summarize is in.

Something easily turned off is distinctly not opt in. They’re still lying to everyone.

Earlier today I found a fucking AI feature automatically turned on… Those idiots need to get their shit straight and fast if they want to remain relevant.

Pluribus was such a complete disappointment for me… I don’t know … ok well yea I do know why most people like it. Though for me, I know way too much sfience and tech, so the many parts that are not realistic stand out and fly in the face of Vince’s very realistic style of presentation. That massive juxtaposition royally fucks the whole show for me. If I didn’t literally know better, I’d definitely be in the, “wow, cool story bro!” camp.

I have a few on m.2 to u.2 cables.

I had this happen with a few drives. The cause was bad cables to the HDDs causing random errors. Had to try a bunch of different cables until the errors stopped happening.

If the problem is showing up out of the blue with no HW changes or anything, definitely back up any data you want to protect from the computer before you get too far down the road, because the HDD might be legitimately failing.

Right, but this is about the noteworthiness of talking about someone shorting AI. Who cares if joe schmoe from accounting shorted their six shares? It’d only be newsworthy if it’s someone with significant investment or supposed insider knowledge shorting it.

“multiple people” doesn’t mean much unless it’s one of the top twenty people that own most of the stock market.

They got their user base by being the first ones to have open access to it. Being the first to market OFC gives a massive advantage.

You are also using flawed logic. This isn’t AI vs everything. This is ONLY the “AI” products compared to themselves. These same exact numbers could happen with 1000 users across the entire world, yet you claim it’s evidence of general public acceptance.

Flawed logic is bad logic. ChatGPT also sells their services to other corporations, where several of the others are end-user only, so again, you are using flawed logic to pretend like everyone actually wants this horseshit.

ChatGPT sold themselves as the easy way to add “AI” to products. I would not be surprised what so ever if the VAST majority of ChatGPT’s usage came from other people forcing it into their products (like all the companion apps) and not actual, direct interest in AI from the general populace.

Think of it like mobile gaming. Most people do not spend much money at all on the microtransaction bullshit. Though it’s still successful in making the company money, thanks to whales and other uncommon big spenders. It would be totally unsurprising if GPT is getting their numbers in a similar fashion. Not from end users, but from selling it as a service to other companies and a very small percentage of heavy users.

The problem with shorting is you have to guess when the bubble pops. Call it too early, and you don’t get the short at all. Call it too late, and any possible earnings may get wiped out by rebounds and/or new bubbles.

Read my last paragraph, then. It’s not how much MS gets in everyones’ face. It’s the specific avenues in which these companies are exposed. Google is everywhere on a platform that people don’t have to install to try things out, or have it automatically execute without permission.

MS is not. Do you not remember the MASSIVE outcry when MS said they were turning on Copilot for everyone? They tried to shove it everyones’ faces ala google, but their avenues for forcing shit are plainly different.

Because they’re easier to ignore and disable than the biggest advertiser and search platform on the planet that gets their grubby hands in everything? MS doesn’t have nearly as much of an online presence, and that’s exactly where these “AI” are getting used.

On top of that, Google gets to feed search queries into their AI and generate results for most searches. Copilot does not get to arbitrarily answer every search someone types in to Windows.

So… yea, in a way, everyone else is more capable of forcing engagement than MS. Would you be more likely to try something that’s merely available on a website, or more likely to enable a technology that could extract all of your personal information from your computer on accident?

When the competition is replacing workers en masse, yes.

You realize these companies can force growth via cramming it in to every channel they own, right? You realize growth on paper is not public endorsement, right?

Really depends on the content. Real life, recorded for TV, where there’s not a ton of in focus detail? Yea it doesn’t matter much. Documentary, videogame, or other content where they try to keep everything in focus? It can make a huge difference.

Though I tend to watch things on a high quality computer monitor, not a tv across the room, so details stand out a lot more in the first place.

No they want to capitalize on pedos finding victims.

I settled on AzireVPN for port forwarding. Just as capable and works basically fine. Plus they don’t advertise prices only available to new customers. Only limitation is no convenient client, but at least I know what the fek connection my stuff is using, and it’s easily automated.

I’m sure many Mullvad servers are similar, but figured anything with working port forward could be worth a mention.
