    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    His follow up post is good too. https://mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/the-ai-shovelware-question-one-month I thought this comment just absolutely nailed it, why does AI "feel" so impressive but fall so short in practice? This, right here.

    I can't give that enough likes. Great fucking article. I want to quote this part pre-emptively before our local "AI expert" shows up with exactly this objection:

    I'm with you, the crust is the weak part of pot pie. Thats why I started making them with biscuits instead. Just put the filling in a backing dish, spoon biscuit dough on top, bake til the biscuits are done. I've never looked back.

    The modern internet is garbage made for illiterates. I wish the solution was less clunky.

    This is so true. Other cooking shows are like "let me show off how I cook! Aren't I cute/charming/sophisticated/whatever!" Alton is like "Listen - I'm gonna teach you how to cook."

    Depression

    One of the major problems we object to here in the US is that once someone is on SSRIs, the doctors basically never advise you to get off them. Oh if you ask them right out, yeah they'll agree its not a lifelong solution. But speaking from secondhand experience, they never actually suggest...

    Depression

    Drugs arent the answer and if you wanted to take drugs to make it better, holy shit there are a whole lot better drugs than antidepressants. I'm with Cutlery. I havent talked about it here but I had a rough patch bad enough that I actually sought professional help. Given my attitudes toward...

    I agree with what everyone else is saying. It was a great piece of unintentional comedy. Hollywood freaks are loking around going "why why are there no people of color, this is terrifying" Normal people are looking around going "yup looks like a normal day where I live" Its like an...

    I mean its perfectly normal for your inner dialogue to occasionally spill out and become audible. It sounds to me like thats what you're describing, and it happens to me too. What they're doing seems different. Deliberate. Performative. Theyre actually speaking to an invisible audience...

    1883

    American Primeval, the show where every single white man is a murdering psychopath but the Indians are all around nice guys? It certainly cranks the trope up to 11, if thats whats meant by "better"

    This, this is exactly the worst thing about the show. You could look past some of the other (major) flaws. You could watch it from a different perspective. But no, every other scene they have this inane babbling from some teenage chick who thinks she has deep thoughts to share. Then they added...

    Agreed. He's always walked a fine line between "I'm just saying funny things" and "I'm trying to make a serious point", and he seems to have lost that line. Most of his "serious points" are insipid and retarded, so it doesnt work when he loses the line.

    Is Araysar is a Jew?

    The jew thing is just the latest example in the playbook. His playbook is always the same. 1. Find a mainstream, normie, NPC narrative that the FoH community doesnt believe 2. Fellate the everliving fuck out of that mainstream narrative while pretending its some kind of novel or original...

    Itd be nice if they had the balls to say "stop doing this stuff" instead of just reporting that "oh woops all the dumb shit you're doing is fucking up your kids" Literally just do it the normal way and none of this would be happening, but the article doesnt even hint at that as an option

    You guys ever drink powerade?

    It literally doesnt matter. Whether you sit behind a desk or carry shingles. Drink liquid when you're thirsty, eat food salted to taste at meal times. Outside of extreme athletics, that is all anyone needs for healthy hydration. Evolution figured this out in the kidneys long before we were...

    never tried the shaker trick but the key most of the time really is to shock them. My wife always like slowly cools them and it always fails spectacularly.

    You guys ever drink powerade?

    proper hydration requires that you drink some liquid occasionally when you're thirsty, and thats it. the entire "hydration" industry is based on misinformation. drinking soda is less gay cause at least you're openly drinking it for the taste in that case instead of a fictional "need" but...

    This is absolutley not true. You read this somewhere. Probably written by an Oriental. To be honest, I did it for many years too. But try this yourself, multiple times. I'm telling you - absolutely zero difference in appearance, taste, or texture. Maybe it affects the feng shui or something...
