"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

As long as those AI models deem it more important to please you than being correct, they will continue to suck.
And since they are trained to exactly do that, this won't end soon.

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

In my late teens my cover band did this song by Dio.
I could not sing it, so it was just instrumental. Our drummer nearly died playing it but the crowd went nuts every fucking time.
Thanks Ronnie. What a song for the ages.
And thanks to Jorn for the tribute.

Is it just me?
I'm not a native speaker but I think my English is not bad.
I feel like I have this super power: I can tune out the language when listening to music.
I don't listen to the words but see the voice as an instrument.
I can't do this with my native German, why I dislike the music.
