It will never stop being incredibly funny that in the past 24 months an untold legion of people have emerged from heroic doses of shrooms/LSD clutching a note that just has “what if u could chat with a pdf???” scrawled on it
- r2_pilot 2y agoAnd while they're doing that, I'm making a voice interface to Claude 3 that I've used for PDFs.
- lawlessone 2y agoI seen someone on LinkedIn yesterday talking about how you'll be able to "chat with your database" Like, what if i don't want to be friends with a database? What next ? a few beers with my fridge? Skinny dipping with my toaster?
- wdh505 2y agoListen mortician! I just thought the toaster wanted to be friendly.
- lawlessone 2y agohaha I forgot the Addams Family Values :D
- tcmart14 2y agoMore importantly, I'd be afraid of what the database at work would have to say. My guess is a lot of not really nice things since the schema designers were idiots (luckily I had no hand in it, but I just get to deal with the consequences).
- shermantanktop 2y agoThe schema registry is chill, but do not talk the query optimizer! It won’t stop complaining about table scans.
- chasd00 2y agoi'd be fine with chatting with my database as long as it's in a structured way. Like a language I could use to query for information and insights on the data.
- itishappy 2y agoA structured language for querying, you say? I think you might be onto something here... What would you call it?
- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoWhat if SQL isn't that hard if you put some effort into learning it, and then you can enjoy conversing with data in a language that isn't intractibly fraught with ambiguity?
- psunavy03 2y ago> Skinny dipping with my toaster? Sounds deadly.
- narrator 2y agoYou laugh, but people in incel circles are heralding the nascent arrival of better than real AI girlfriends. She night as well live in your toaster or fridge if you're trying to be energy efficient.
- cjk2 2y agoI think if I chatted with my database it'd have nothing nice to say. It'd just bitch about the deadlocks, keyspace starvation, that other one it has to share everything with and all those people asking stupid questions.
- floating-io 2y agoNot to mention all the diodes down it's left side?
- setgree 2y agoI don’t think your toaster would like the swimming part — better take it streaking instead.
- sph 2y ago"We strongly recommend becoming best friends with your fridge to get the most out of all its features. Please follow this guide on how to cultivate a meaningful relationship with your new AI-powered(™) smart fridge."
- manquer 2y agoFew beers with a fridge is one thing , skinny dipping with the toaster is suicidal !
- mattgreenrocks 2y agoIt's a tech bro prosperity gospel. Same thing happens with stuff like stoicism, where the core tenets begin taking a back seat to worldly success (see most of Ryan Holiday's books). Another instance of SV bros unknowingly LARPing spirituality is more obvious: the weird, intense religious-like fervor some people have about AI. This stuff inhabits the void in people, and it becomes very obvious.
- sdwr 2y agoAI, taken seriously, really is wrap-around mobius-strip God 2.0 Like, the idea of a global integrated organism that integrates information at the speed of light, and had perfect recall, is basically Genesis.
- zer0tonin 2y ago> Another instance of SV bros unknowingly LARPing spirituality is more obvious: the weird, intense religious-like fervor some people have about AI. It is crazy to me how fast and how intensely cult-like AI became. It's even crazier when you consider the gap between their belief in AI (singularity, automate every job, next step for humanity, etc...) and their actual AI projects (make a fancy QR code generator or yet another SEO spam site...)
- mattgreenrocks 2y agoO ye of little faith, if you only believed in the godlike capabilities AI will give us, then you’d see! It’s only five or ten years away! More seriously: I expect some proponents have financial ties to AI as a whole. It smells way too much like the crypto/NFT grifters.
