Ich finde es tragisch, dass Heise hier so einen Blödsinn schreibt. Diese Aussagen stammen allesamt von den Herstellern von KI. Es ist natürlich in deren Interesse, KI als mächtig und kompetent darzustellen und dazu eignet sich auch die Behauptung, KI würde massenhaft Jobs ersetzen. In der Praxis stellt sich immer häufiger heraus, dass das nicht der Fall ist. Und im übrigen haben die Unternehmen, die hier gerade am meisten Federn lassen extrem viel Geld in KI gebuttert. Also liegt doch die Vermutung nahe, dass Anleger die KI-Ausgaben und deren Nutzen skeptisch sehen und nicht die angeblichen Einsparungen und Jobverluste durch KI. So ein Quatsch.

Yeah it’s really missing the point on every single topic. Customers are confused that Microslop renames everything to Copilot, like MS Office 365 being rebranded to Copilot 365. It’s not only the confusion between different types of LLMs. Customers are frustrated that MS puts Copilot buttons into every nook and cranny of existing products making these hard to use.

The author even manages to botch the last point: internal adoption of LLMs at MS. The amount of bugs and quality issues in recent Windows 11 updates suggest that forced LLM use at the company itself has a detrimental effect on their products.

Edit: Forgot a couple of reasons that aren’t mentioned either: Customers are frustrated that Copilot doesn’t live up to its lofty promises. Customers are frustrated that careless implementations of AI features like Recall are threatening their privacy and safety.

It’s so weird to read that. Every professional developer knows that debugging is hard and debugging someone else’s code is harder. The crap that falls out of LLMs can be even worse, and yet you allow yourself to be reduced to a human full-time debugger/QA person.

This isn’t just fatigue, this is taking a wrong approach to software development from the ground up.

Isn’t that beneficial to her after all? She can now just replace those professionals with incompetent but loyal bootlickers? I’m not from the US so I might be wrong on how this works.

Ok let me try a different angle. I think the reason why AI is such a hotly debated topic right now is that AI is something that influences the lives of white westerners directly, while war is an abstract concept for most. To put it more bluntly, you’re in contact with AI stuff every day, but there are no tanks rolling down your street (yet - but that might change soon).

Yeah the Antrophic guys are also firmly in the “believer” group.

I think that Satya Nadella and a lot of other CEO types genuinely believe in AI, as misguided as it seems. This is more about who they choose to listen too than having an actual understanding of the technology and its limits. And probably some FOMO sprinkled on top.

Sam Altman knows what’s up though and so does Jensen Huang. In this gold rush one is peddling the fake gold and the other is selling the shovels.

Do you have a source for that backtracking about AI? I think they did not mention that explicitly. Instead they were talking about unrelated improvements. The CEO is still in denial about AI bloat. He seems unable to comprehend that people don’t like to be force fed AI everywhere across the OS.

I’ve seen a lot of supermarkets recently where the mechanism is still there but all the carts are unlocked, so that you don’t need to insert a coin anymore. At least where I live this works just as well and people return their carts into the stack. We were probably conditioned to do it during the last years when the coin was still necessary, and now it just sticks.

Its also hallucinating the parentheses in a way that looks vaguely like code, but it’s complete garbage

It’s more of a risk assessment than anything else. The US has proven to be erratic in honouring treaties and contracts, which makes them unreliable. Gas supply is a critical infrastructure and failures in delivery have grave consequences.

They also taste better. Unfortunately the regular ones are almost always sold out and I don’t want the vegan type

because they can sell it for more money and as a bonus controlling people’s data gives them power. Supervillains love technology.

This orb surveillance thingy looks like Wheatley from Portal 2, an AI which eventually turned evil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatley_(Portal) I’m sure that’s a good sign.

I also do Camembert mind melts

This article is full of BS. I mean he at least arrives at an agreeable conclusion (see headline) and this is why this post will get upvoted a lot. But his narrative is full of strawman arguments, trying to find plausible “conservative” reasons for why the US is acting the way it does when the actual answer is much simpler.

The author argues at length that “Europhobia” is causing the rift between the US and EU. That’s BS. If there is any phobia from the US perspective it’s an Anybody-Who-Is-Not-Us-Phobia. US foreign policies stem from a sense of absolute superiority. They are not targeting the EU for being the EU. They are indiscriminately and aggressively trying to bully every other country into submission.

The whole article is an exercise in finding justifications for not calling it what it is. This is a typical Think Tank style spin.

And this gem right here:

If Brexit was the first blow against the EU from a new Europhobic movement in America […]

Talking about sense of superiority… The author actually thinks that the US was the prime force responsible for the Brexit? They definitively played their part in the Brexit but this is a bit much.

I could go on, but it’s not worth it. I just wanted to make you aware of how shitty this article is.

A third has ^^ To be fair those voters were never really using their brain much. Populists in the whole EU are taking advantage of those dumb fucks for a while now.

EDIT: There is something funny going on though, populist right-wing leaders have difficulties in finding a position regarding Trump and the US. On one hand they really love licking Trumps boots, on the other hand their voters want “Germany first” and they are aware that Trump’s actions are directly hurting them.

Probably depends on what AI DDG is using… I switched DDG to noai so I don’t see any generated results

Interesting, if i do site:neocities.org with a random search term e.g. site:neocities.org anime in DDG I get zero results. In google, this yields thousands of neocities subdomains. Do you get any relevant results in DDG this way?

I chose a random neocities website and searched with both DDG and Google. The search was “irony machine neocities” without quotes. Google yielded a result which pointed to the correct URL https://irony-machine.neocities.org/ while DDG did not.
