  • I mean the problem with drive throughs is that’s like the most painful way to order anything. Doesn’t matter if it’s a human or an AI. Lets talk on a garbage speaker 6 feet away with traffic, wind and everything else inbetween. Without being able to see the face of the person. Know when or if the feed has been cut off, also the added fun of the speed being terrible and of course the ability to get stuck because even if you realize it’s not worth the time… a car can pull up behind you and force you to wait it out as long as it takes.



  • The only complaint I disagree with is

    We hate the kiosks at McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Taco Bell that we are asked to use instead of talking to a person

    Personally I love the kiosks. I love being able to select exactly what I want, and not go through a communication layer with a person, who may mishear or misinterpret what I say, and adding that while still having humans there for people who don’t like using screens or actually have questions is a good thing IMO.

    But yes, AI is all the flaws of human workers, plus some because they always have and always will be significantly worse than humans at spotting mistakes giving you what you don’t want etc…









  • Bottom line every policy platner is calling for, is the exact opposite of nazi rhetoric. Meanwhile musk is retweeting great replacement theory posts and bolstering white suppremicist groups.

    In a vacume I’d have given musks Nazi salute a pass. Symbols can be mistaken and mis-given. Were it not at a time when he… literally was not just not banning, or unbanning white supremacists on twitter, but explicitly re-tweeting and bolstering them as well, it wouldn’t have meant much.


  • Honestly my thoughts on how I’d actually use AI… versus OpenAI’s are exactly the opposite. Honestly I could see a world where a lot of people get an on site LLM server. Plug it in etc… I could actually see that as useful, IE keep it air gapped, and then you can train it off of your e-mails, your house etc…, not trust everything to some outside company. From what I’m gathering from the chinese open source models that sounds very viable.

    Of course the ultimate annoyance is, the datacenter surge is actually taking compute out of regular price ranges.

    Actually annoyingly makes me think of the point in time that electricity itself was at this crossroads, where eddison wanted every house to have a DC generator, while Tesla was pushing for AC transmission to send current from centralized locations




  • lol the amount of times I’ve seen AI do.

    No wait that’s wrong try this

    Oh wait that’s also wrong that still doesn’t work try this.

    No still wouldn’t do it.

    On just questions without asking it to correct itself, (which tells me internally they have some kind of… basically reviewing it’s own answers before they go out.

    Honestly I do wonder if we’ll get there

    a hello world program would just spin back and forth “Rejected demanded these fixes”, Rejected making it more like the original, rejected. retrying

    “you have spent your entire $50,000 token budget… would you like to restock and keep going”.
