Yes, but many things can be mapped to "language", let's say a grammar describing state machines, so it can be used to generate control actions.

Transformer models etc. are not only useful for conversational AI and translations.

I'd be fine with the approach as part of research advancing the field, but unfortunately, that's not what we're seeing.

Congratulations, this is how you get exploited by corporations.

Who says you can't check their outputs? It's much faster to e. g. read a generated text than to write everything yourself. Same applies to translations, they've been excellent for quite a while now.

Business communication can be handled effortlessly by AI. Of course you read the result before you send it out, but that takes an order of a magnitude less time than formulating and typing all those meaningless sentences.

And honestly, that's a perfect use case for AI. I wouldn't compose a love letter to my family using AI, but a pamphlet, feature description, sales pitch, any bullshit presentation deck? You bet AI excels at those.

Same applies to content summaries that help augment search indices. Finding a large number of content candidates (e. g. videos) and have AI summarize the contents of said videos to narrow down the search is helpful and works today.

I'm not looking for AGI. I'm looking for tools to make my life easier, but in an ethical manner that doesn't advance the destruction of the planet at an exponential rate, just for some tech bro to jerk it and buy another yacht.

Those numbers are baseless exaggerations. There are plenty of tasks which they solve perfectly, today. It's just that a bunch of dicks operate them, and the cost of operating them are way too high.

Also:

  • environmental impact of AI
  • unethical acquisition of training data
  • dichotomy of how conservative politics treat AI company and private copyright law
  • "undress AI" and deepfakes

It's not that they're not useful, that's just nonsense.

Ah shit. I swear to god, this just happened to me. I came to the comments, confused why a trailer for Outer Wilds 2 would be age-restricted.

Ugh.

But then again, you cleared up my confusion, so I guess there's that.

  1. Quiet comes into frame, PoV happens to focus on the bucket so the first thing that to end up in the center are her boobs
  2. Quiet leaves, someone thought the player needed a power zoom on her ass and added a matching sound to it
  3. They made her hum and dance in a jail cell, while randos in the background mumble Oh, she's a hot girl, what I wouldn't do...

Honestly, the zoom gets me the most. Why was that added? How do you get away with something like that?

Most people will run a post 2.6 kernel, so prlimit will be available as an interesting alternative to ulimit.

When asked what location fans wanted as a fighting stage, one very popular answer was Waffle House. Context: if you crash at WH after a long night out, you're guaranteed to witness some drunken fighting.

Man, I'd love a Waffle House stage.

It absolutely does, on Android at least. On iOS, given Apple's restrictions, the whole situation is a bit more complicated:

I don't know what your previous setup was, but given that running resolved fixes your DNS issues, run:

ln -sf ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

This will point programs that use /etc/resolved.conf during DNS resolution to the local DNS server provided by systemd-resolved.

Then, enable resolved so that it is started when you reboot:

systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

Finally, start the service so that it is available immediately:

systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

You will want it run those with the required permissions, e. g. via sudo.

I was not ready for how many stock photos they produced.

The parent comment is correct. CODE is the server, you need the "Collabora Online app" for document editing. I'm not aware if there are alternatives to the ownCloud / Nextcloud apps.
