Hey guys! Want a way to do everything you can do on your cell phone but 100 times worse and more expensive? Well check out this piece of shit!
OMG thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed such a public fucking catastrophe.
I kinda respect them for actually attempting a live demo but I also can’t believe they were stupid enough to try it a live demo.
Then they try to use WiFi as a copout 🤣
His demo got demoed?
Do these guys even know how to do a rigged demo?
Also, in case you’d rather just see:

The AI being hyped right now is not AI at all. It’s really important that we all acknowledge this, that the world is selling itself a multi-billion-dollar lemon: predictive text engines that have nothing intelligent about them. They’re giant sorting machines, which is why they’re so good at identifying patterns in scientific research, and could genuinely advance medicine in wonderful ways. But what they cannot do is think, and as such, it’s a collective mass-delusion that these systems have any use in our day-to-day lives beyond plagiarism.
Goddamn, a gaming outlet saying what the serious grown-up press should have been saying from the start!
I’m an old fart - I got my degree in CS in 1985, and I’ve been paying attention to the predictions and advancements in AI for a very long time. I have at least as much issue with the way people think and talk about it as the author, but probably less of an issue with it being called AI. Remember that for decades, the informal working definition of AI was “A computer doing anything that usually requires a human.” So for ages, they said we’d have AI if a computer could read a page of printed text out loud in English. That seemed almost unattainable when it was first talked about, but now it’s so trivial that no one would consider it AI.
People have tried to make definitions that are crisper than that, but few if any of those definitions requires anything we’d call “thinking.” The frustrating thing is that the general public talks all the time about AI as if it’s conscious . Even when we’re talking about its flaws, we use words like “hallucinating,” which is something only thinking beings can do.
To me, LLMs are the worst things because to so many people they seem like the are (or could be) thinking entities. They respond to questions in a lifelike manner and can construct (extrapolate?) somewhat novel responses. But they’re also the least useful to us as a society. I’m much more interested in the Machine Learning applications for distilling gobs of data to develop new medicines or identify critical items in images that humans don’t have the mental bandwidth for. But LLMs get all the press.
“Yeah, let’s try it. [Korean-style steak sauce is] not something I’ve made before,” says Mancuso, remembering his script, “so I could definitely use the help.”
Then at the end of the article they embed an Instagram video from 2023 of Mancuso making a Korean-style steak sauce. *chef’s kiss*
Try not to imagine what the money he’s blown on AI could have been spent on that would actually benefit mankind.
Don’t forget about “the Metaverse”. You know, the thing he spent tens of billions of dollars on, renamed the company after, then promptly abandoned to chase AI grifting.
Direct link, it’s great https://bsky.app/profile/shacknews.com/post/3lz344mxmb22a
Wow, that’s a terribly written article, or whatever type of text this is pretending to be.
Blame the wifi

Don’t you have some meat to smoke, Zuck?
