Not Google, but my favorite was “ethnaically anabigaus” appearing randomly on generated pictures.

You must connect with the road, every km or so stop and hug the asphalt.

The paper was right. I read that and I’m dying right now.

Dude.

You could at least look at what you’re replying to before jumping in and going full outrage mode. I didn’t even say anything about what I thought of the validity of that experiment.

Keep putting yourself forward to defend the poor, misjudged car company belonging to a crazy asshole.

They obviously pre-cut the wall, probably for safety reasons, and they were like, let’s make it a silly cartoon impact hole while we’re at it.

Good job.

One AI model, apparently.

Only yesterday, I searched for a very simple figure, the number of public service agents in a specific administrative region. This is, obviously, public information. There is a government site where you can get it. However I didn’t know the exact site, so I searched for it on Google.

Of course, AI summary shows up first, and gives me a confident answer, accurately mirroring my exact request. However the number seems way too low to me, so I go check the first actual search result, the aforementioned official site. Google’s shitty assistant took a sentence about a subgroup of agents, and presented it as the total. The real number was clearly given before, and was about 4 times that.

This is just a tidbit of information any human with the source would have identified in a second. How the hell are we supposed to trust AI for complex stuff after that?

French, I’ve tried bépo because AZERTY (the French standard since forever) seriously sucks. AZERTY is missing lots of diacritics and corresponding capital letters (including very common ones), lots of opening and closing characters are inexplicably separated, … And the same bullshit as QWERTY, no thought behind where alphabetical characters should be beyond 19th century’s “the mechanical arms of my typewriter should not cross too much”.

However I couldn’t commit to bépo and gave up. AZERTY is too ingrained in my mind at this point.

I had to suffer through someone’s wedding that had an impressive but out of tune pipe organ. Shame because the musician seemed talented, and at least while it lasted I didn’t have to hear about how great the guy in the sky is.

Thing is, this is absolutely not what they did.

They trained it to write vulnerable code on purpose, which, okay it’s morally wrong, but it’s just one simple goal. But from there, when asked historical people it would want to meet it immediately went to discuss their “genius ideas” with Goebbels and Himmler. It also suddenly became ridiculously sexist and murder-prone.

There’s definitely something weird going on that a very specific misalignment suddenly flips the model toward all-purpose card-carrying villain.

the world almost ground to a halt

The US. “The world”, at least the part that’s not religious zealots, looked at that, went like “oh, surprise boob” and maybe giggled a bit.

We need search engines that hide those from results by default. Basically “walled garden-blocking”.

They want to keep the door shut until you surrender your data? Fine. They don’t get to pollute your web if you refuse then.

I wish. In the end it all depend on how individual countries interpret the EU law. In France it was decided that “either let us shit all over your privacy or pay a subscription” was okay and in the spirit of the law.

It’s bullshit IMO, but lots of sites ran with it. So those I refuse to interact with now.

I have literally no idea how that came to your mind immediately. It’s very funny to me that it did though.

Exactly, ear in particular was what I thought about. There are very tiny bones in there. I’m pretty sure they didn’t replicate a functional human ear, so those have no impact on anything.

Many bones in the hand and foot are also locked in place together, so modeling each one seems, well, I don’t think it’s a waste of time, but at this point you’re making an art performance.

It’s clear they made this weird on purpose but still, so many questions…

the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots

Oh yeah, definitely a huge step in that direction…

Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones

That’s all of the bones of an human adult. Yeah, I’m sure absolutely all of them were necessary.

I don’t want him to find it because I want the over-the-top movie dramatization of that guy’s descent into madness.

He can have part of the movie revenues, if he’s smart.

I have a sign that says “Shout to enter”.

First thing first, rename the country as American America of America.

The YouTube owner explains that normal non-skippable in-stream ads are limited to just 15 seconds in length.

This is bullshit. I don’t use an ad-blocker and often get a full minute of ad. And an extra minute if I happen to pause the stream for like 30 seconds and come back to it.
