I'm always thinking: actuators are close to their peak efficiency for some time now, i.e. electric motors can barely get any better. Same with with mechanical construction, materials and all the newtonian bits. These things are probabl

Meh. I'm assuming it'll be only available to the monied class and they don't care about ethics anyways. So might as well just take one of the organs from that new and upcoming El Salvadorian supplier.

That's a pretty optimistic estimate, tbh.

I was being called a unicorn in a professional setting... unfamiliar with the term, I immediately thought I was being insulted, because unicorns exist just in people's imagination and fairy tales.

No, I need advertising to know what companies to avoid. The more annoying the ad, the more will I spend time and effort to avoid the product and boycott the business. Which is quite easy actually, since most online adverts are for obvious s

'Ooops, computer did it.' will become the number one lame excuse by decision makers in the age of AI.

Well, fuck. Or, on second thought, don't. You'll probably will die of super-syphilis.

Is this satire making fun of 'AI'? I cannot tell. But it looks and feels like satire.

I use the jetbrains product line for my professional work. They now come with a AI code completion assistant, which will 50-80% of the time, depending on the type of project, suggest something wrong, which I either have to spend energy to e

This is really what billions in investment can accomplish? Pathetic.

LLMs are still just text generators. These are statistical models that cannot think or solve logical problems. They might fool people, as Weizenbaum's "Eliza" did in the late 60s, by generating code that sort of runs sometime

Why? Because physics and economic efficiency, that's why.

Not sure if it's a good idea to pollute even more orbits. We're basically one low-iq billionaire fuck-up away from creating a barrier of shrapnel around the planet.

If the whole slave simulation with humanoid robots does not work for Elon Musk and his peers, maybe we will see W40K-like servitors, where they take the people the billionaire class deems subhuman and convert them into human drones.

There's already the ELIZA effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELIZA_effect ) that describes LLMs and the credulous people who believe in them pretty well.

Yes, LLMs are great at generating corporate bullshit to appease the clueless middle management. I wouldn't trust its code generation for production systems though, but I can see how inexperienced devs might do just that.

I've been arguing for not being too trusting in the code LLMs generate. I've seen deepseek-r1 and multiple chatgpt models try to solve a genuinely trivial issue in code by deleting the unit test. And that was a well established la

Space is way more difficult and expensive than people like to believe. While I wholly support the waste of venture capital and other dumb money for space things, I don't expect the company to come close to returning anything from an as

I've tried to have deepseek-r1 find (not even solve) obvious errors in trivial code. The results were as disastrous as they were hilarious. Maybe it can generate code that runs on a blank sheet... but I wouldn't trust the thing a

That space garbage is still a wonderful advertisement for the deposit on the next roadster. Also, there's almost certainly a corpse in the trunk.

I've enabled it. I cannot find any practical use for it. At least this AI is as unobtrusive as it is useless, unlike most other instances of AI, which are annoying and useless.

I'm at this very moment testing deepseek-r1, a so called "reasoning" llm, on the excellent "rustlings" tutorial. It is well documented and its solutions are readily available online. It is my lazy go-to-testing for

Unless you have been up to the shoulders in the hype-hole of Scam Altman's backside this should not come as the slightest surprise.
