SOMETIMES CONTENT ON LEMMY MAKES ME AUDIBLY CHUCKLE. inhales THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE TIMES.

Sometimes content on Lemmy makes me audibly chuckle. This was one of those times.

If they unloaded the goods to another truck really fucking fast, maybe. Otherwise they’re just being recorded on top of a giant GPS beacon that’s alerting a system that something abnormal is happening so rally nearby law enforcement. It’d way easier to hold up a bookies, with a shotgun, Saul.

Yep. And query languages being some of the quickest and fastest things an analyst can do with 100% knowledge of the data and any wrangling/conditions that need to be done to assure accurate results.

A bot would never be able to accurately answer these questions off my data unless I thoroughly trained and tested it. But if it’s GPT-based, I’d always have to double-check so it’d just be a hinderence in workflow. There is no way money would be paid to a third-party for such a situation.

Oooooooh…

And now I’m even more confused.

Gawd, me too. They’ve started scraping my LinkedIn recommenders to try bait me in.

For context, I work at a university. The subject was something like “xxxxxx recommends you for a company like us” implying my contact had actually been behind it, but obviously they didn’t.

Hi saltesc,

Saw on LinkedIn that xxxxxx highlighted your industry expertise and dedication to client success—sounds like you’re pivotal in driving both xxxxxx and solid outcomes for your clients!

By the way, any chance you’d be interested in using AI to get total visibility of all your data?

Our AI data analytics solution specializes in helping companies in the higher education industry do exactly that.

With Knowi, you can effortlessly get answers to questions like:

• What is the percentage increase in graduate employment rates from diverse student demographics over the past three years, including international learners?

• How many new educational offerings have been developed annually at xxxxxx to enhance skills development within the community, including international students?

It’s like ChatGPT, but for your data!

Open to learning more?

All the best, xxxxxx xxxxxx Business Growth

And obviously it reads like it was written by one of the GPTs.

Had they seen our profiles, they’d actually know what it is we do and how ridiculous recommending a chat AI is. That’s sooooo beneath our knowledge and expertise. Like a random suggesting Ivermectin to Dr Faucci.

If they don’t include a clause for mascots or other performances, then they’ve fucked that up lol

Just some kids in uniform standing around reciting Cats because they can’t act any of it 👍

I can’t believe eggs come in that size, are.for regular customers, and there’s plenty missing. My household couldn’t get through a quarter of that before they went off. You’d want to be freezing them—which makes for shit egg cooking later—or just really fuckin’ love eggs.

I can’t really imagine people wanting to hijack a truck that’s basically a giant camera and tracking system.

I assumed a person crashed into the school while starting a lesson. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the lesson made them worse. This is more that It’s like rai-e-aaaain!

Ha, it rolls off my tongue much easier than “pet peeve.”

I’m reminded of this legendary bit.

English by country or region is a bit of a hoot.

I think ‘peeve’ is more American because it’s modern American-informal from ‘peevish’ so it’s not caught on much in other countries. You’d probably.also be confused by ‘pet aversion’ which is actually the original and popular term, with a pet hate being the most slack of the two pets.

Edit: Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say “peeve” in any other context, even Americans.

My pet hate. People That Type Like This, Causing The Inner Dialogue To Jar Each Word And Confuse Titles And Names Amongst Regular Words.

Seems right to me. Think in centuries and not your lifetime. Your lifetine is more likely to span two centuries, so while the 1950s was just recently, you’ll be in the 2050s.

Ah, by all distinction and similarity with Nazism and the Nazi party, there are few groups in the world right now that are more aligned to it than Benny’s cohort and ideologies. But they are not as effective in their actions. Ben’s damned near line for line from the Nazi playbook.

The only hold back is social. The world’s not able to socially understand how those persecuted by the Nazis have now become the Nazis. Honestly, the only difference here is we’re talking a small section of the middle-east and not all of Europe. The stinctions are otherwise quite minimal.

I’m non-US and work at a university. Some of the academics I can’t imagine surviving in the real world. The only way I can explain it is they get a PhD and then the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to everything, but they don’t evolve on it. And they’re weirdly incredibly gullable—like, in their 30s and vulnerable to scams and misinformation your grandma would immediately pick up on. You get concerned for what else they may be teaching students because kids fresh out of high school often trust adults and these adults put off an identity of being experts.

You want to say to them, “If it’s not about phylogenetics, don’t listen to a single fucking thing this person says no matter how confident they sound.”

That’s 13,310 eggs per second continuously for 48 hours.

I’m very familiar with the world of academia. To be honest, many of them/us are surprisingly stupid, but for a reason. To get a doctorate in a field is no easy task. Your lack of knowledge in much else is because you spent all you had being knowledgeable in a specific thing.

So even if you think a doctor is a stupid person in general, there is NO EXCUSE for them being stupid in the one thing they spent years becoming an expert in.

So, is this “doctor” actually holding a doctorate in this field? Let me check…

…god, he has the most generic name it’s impossible to know.

Yeah, so he’s heard the term, got upset by it, and sent it back out on others to upset them. Like when a tankie calls a tankie a tankie but neither of them are tankies, they just know from personal experience people don’t like being called a tankie so tankies are now anyone but them. Next thing you know, a mindless mob are calling things like public new media channels tankies grifters.

We can, but it’s a lot of effort and time. Good AI requires a lot of patience and specificity.

I’ve sort of accepted the gimmick of LLMs being a bit of a plateau in training. It has always been that we teach AI to learn, but currently the public has been exposed to what they perceive to be magic and that’s “good enough”. Like, being wrong so often due to bad information, bad interpretation of information, and bias within information is acceptable now, apparently. So teaching to learn isn’t a high mainstream priority compared to throwing in mass information instead—it’s far less exciting working on infrastructure.

But here’s the cool thing about AI, it’s pretty fucking easy to learn. If you have patience and creativity to put toward training, you can do what you want. Give it a crack! But always be working on refining it. I’m sure out there right now someone’s been inspired enough to do what you’re talking about and in a few years of tears and insane electricity bills, there’ll be a viable model.
