I still use gmail as my spam catcher/throwaway account

the country pretending to protect children, led by a notorious pedophile and his merry men

Again, you thinking I have ever had a tik tok account shows me you are probably 12 years old (or think like one). Good chat, back to your marbles kid

It’s clear your reading comprehension is low… I have never said I want anything to do with China and I have repeatedly said I do not buy your premise that should the USA diminish, the world would find itself under China’s or Russia’s thumb I have not bought into your low level strawman (that means I do not believe your premise!)… and all attempts from you to keep putting my position as a China loving person are laughable (I guess to anyone but you since it seems to escape you over and over)

yes, and then go around complaining that “us tankies” (not sure who you are even talking about) “somehow justified unquestioning faith in a side” You can’t even keep what you think is good or bad straight in this conversation

“mY sIdE, yOur SidE”… are you 12 years old?

Which boot are you insinuating I am licking? The USA’s so in today’s world it would be the Orange Pedophile’s boot You’re the one defending a Dictator’s open hostility when we were in times of peace. I have not, that is all part of your weak strawman You’re the one trying to legitimize the Trump admin. Ok, you are either confusing the many people you are trying to troll or you have having a stroke

isn’t your tongue dry from all the boot licking?

There is a lot of evidence of Chinese exerting their influence in the USA. They directly and openly supported Trump via TikTok, they frequently run social media psyops and botnets (with zero subtlety, too), and they frequently are the source of cyberattacks on US industries and outlets. And this is different from the USA peddling and forcing their stuff down everybody’s throat because? I should also point out that none of that “influence” would have been effective if the USA had a working government that did do everything possible to keep its own people poor, sick and uneducated There is also a lot of evidence of their involvement directly with Iran and indirectly with Gaza, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel. Oh I see… of course, these are countries where the USA has never had any influence in… Now that I think of it, the USA rarely influences any foreign country It’s not clever or beautiful, it’s a bunch of dumb assholes having a proxy war and fucking things up for everyone. You mean the USA right?

Again, I do not believe your assessment is correct so no, I do not expect to bend over for China… Rich for you to attempt to make this case when currently, literally, the USA is asking the rest of the world to bend over and take it

at this point, the USA is just as bad as any of the rest so I don’t buy your position even if it were inevitable which it is not. The USA will implode, if not through war, at least economically and then, most likely, the EU would be the next in line

Solution for what?

No, I do think it’s the USA’s fault

That didn’t happen. And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. And if it was, that’s not a big deal. And if it is, that’s not my fault. <- you are here And if it was, I didn’t mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

that’s the beauty with religion… you can interpret it at your convenience

You think people aren’t going to want to use AI unless it does literally everything for them? That’s exactly the “if something’s not perfect then it must be awful” mindset I was criticizing in the comment you’re responding to. NOT AT ALL… I am simply claiming AI is NOT living nearly close to the expectations the peddlers have raised. I’m not saying if it’s not perfect it must be bad, I am saying it is disappointing I don’t see a link to that research, but that means 38% don’t believe AI is significantly overhyped. Not even close again… if I can prove I did not kill the Sheriff, this is not prove I did not kill the deputy. Maybe ALL of that 38% think AI is just over hyped (not significantly) You are now arguing that the source that you yourself brought into this discussion is no good. Again no, my source was there simply to state AI projects are failing left, right and center and I have made very clear that I am speculating from that (and my own experience) that tech savvy people do not like AI See, I cannot hide a project that failed spectacularly… but I can smile nervously in my boss’ office telling the reporter I, in no way, blame the shit tech that he forced us to use.

So we’ve moved from “no tech-savvy people use AI!” to “lots of tech-savvy people use AI, but many of them fail to make it profitable!” No, we are trying to tease out if “tech savvy people” use AI at gun point or not because if it is at gun point, it disarms your argument The Commerce Institute puts that 95% figure in perspective, about 65.3% of all businesses fail by their tenth year. That’s not focusing just on a particular industry that’s the most unknown and volatile one, that’s everything, including fields that have been well known and understood for decades. And I should also note, your source said 95% had yet to grow their revenue, not that 95% had failed - it’s only been a year or two for most. These are not new business (not all at least, these are already viable businesses trying to reap the promises of AI and failing miserably. You can interpret however you want but I interpret that as “most of these business bought the snake oil and it did not cure their hiccups” Wow, only 30% of office tasks can be handled by AI? Clearly a useless technology, throw it away. Again, what is the expectation being sold out there? 30 % increase in preformance? or “we WOn’T nEEd progRAmMers iN 3 yEars”? So, half of them haven’t abandoned those plans. Meaning what? sunk cost fallacy? deeper pockets to hold on and see if they can fix it? deeper pockets and being able to hide the huge mistake this was? I can speculate in the opposite direction you are, just as easily I don’t see a link to that research, but that means 38% don’t believe AI is significantly overhyped. If my job depends on saying you are correct… Mr. FaceDeer you are always correct, the most correct ever. This ties to my previous comment that we need to find unbiased sources and that would include people that use AI because they want to, not because their livelihood depends on it Basically, you’re falling into the trap of assuming if something’s not perfect and not universally loved then it must be awful Not even close… what I am seeing is that AI peddlers promised elephants but they are delivering something that looks like a large dog with no cool trunk

the keyword word you missed was “unbiased” of course the AI peddlers will peddle it and their employees would probably be fired if they did not toe the company line on the otheer hand, that mit studyshowed 95v of them failed… I find it hard to believe people enjoy failing

I don’t disagree with using unbiased data, but where is yours?

time for one final, multi million dollar bonus for the CEO that brought it there

I assumed we are all fellow waterdogs

if you get one of those you end up in the same place with more steps… you need to hook up a pc (any format), preferably running Linux, so you have full control

I hate headlines like this. I’d love to hear the REASONS WHY Plex are doing all of this. Greed… do you really need 3 more? Before someone says “the reason is money” we need to ask: do the developers of Jellyfin not use money? Why won’t the same thing just happen to them too? Plex is a private company wanting money… Jellyfin is a voluteer-drive effort Before someone says “enshittification,” we need to ask: does this mean Jellyfin will soon have the same problems? Enshitification happens to privately develop products due to greed… Jellyfin is not a private company pushing a product for profit We all seem to love Jellyfin so I think we need to understand the actual reason why, or this will just continue happening. Back to “greed”

same!… heck work updated my laptop from win10 to 11 and now the “Windows App” won’t run… IT dude gave up trying to fix it and order a swap This is a laptop used, at most once a week, for regular office bs and it basically self destroyed just through windose updates

hahahaha good additional details on the analogy

It’s more like offering a plumber a room in your house to stay in 24/7 so they can be on-call when you need them. Again I get your point… but no reasonable plumber would make that mistake. If I invite the dumbest plumber alive into my home, show him the leaky tub and say “I have to work but do whatever you need”… they would understand the context to mean “do whatever you need to fix the tub”… I doubt they would go make themselves a sandwich, grab a beer from the fridge and invite their buddies for a BBQ at my place and then say “but you said I could do whatever I needed” I absolutely understand what happened here. The point is there is no benefit to these Agentic AIs because they need to be as supervised as a monkey with a knife… why would I ever want that? let alone need that

Loving my Linux wife… 15 years of computer bliss and counting! hehehehe

This is EXACTLY the YouTube woodworkers dilemma… TONs of YT channels to show people how to do woodwork would normally showcase $50K worth of equipment to show how to make a cutting board. The thing is, people with access to such equipment, already know how to make a cutting board and are learning nothing from you… on the other hand, newbies who what to know what is this “sanding” thing they have heard, will not benefit from the vid since they do not have those tools, they’d have crappy manual tools at most. Therefore, those videos are completely useless for learning… at best, they made for good background noise while people eat their lunches in their cubicles

Absolutely… this just illustrates that these AI tools are, at best, some assistance that need to be kept on a very short leash… which can only be properly done by people who already know how to do the work the AI is supposed to assist with. But that is NOT what the AI bubblers are peddling

No, not at all I get what you are saying but any reasonable entity would understand that telling someone at the door “come in”, does not mean “come in my wife’s ass” Specifically the “without permission” in the title, relates to the fact the AI did not ask about it… it simply took a previously granted right to run commands and ran any/all commands without warning. If you and I were working on a project together and nothing is working right, I could say “hmm let’s start over” and you would know it means “let’s start the project from scratch”, not “let’s wipe the data centre”

AI bullshit

ask Microsoft, they want to give their access to your entire computer… and you’ll love it or else…

That implies the user understands every single code with every single parameters. That’s impossible even for experience programmers I wouldn’t say impossible but I would say it completely defeats the purpose of these agentic AIs Either I know and understand these commands so well I can safely evaluate them, therefore I really do not need the AI… or, I don’t really know them well and therefore I shouldn’t use the AI

hmmm when I let a plumber into my house to fix my leaky tub, I didn’t imply he had permission to sleep with my wife who also lives in the house I let the plumber into The difference you try to make is precisely what these agentic AIs should know to respect… which they won’t because they are not actually aware of what they are doing… they are like a dog that “does math” simply by barking until the master signals them to stop

just openly bribe the idiot king

THAT’s a feature I recognize from Microsoft
