Instead of typing a prompt and getting a response, Dazzle has users snap a photo as the starting point and lets the agent point to what it thinks the next course of action should be. “Snap a picture of a purchase you’ve been thinking about, a flat tire, or fridge ingredients, and Dazzle buys on approval, schedules repairs, or suggests recipes,” the company says.
Finally, what we really needed: ChatGPT for people too lazy to type a prompt

I don't understand why people are still taking this woman seriously. She is not a 'girlboss'. She is the woman who ran Yahoo into the ground, taking it from one of the giants of the dot com era into a largely worthless and useless has-been by grossly mismanaging every single one of their formerly valuable properties.
The fact that she is involved immediately makes this company lose credibility in my eyes.
The fact that she apparently needs an AI model to come up with three compliments for her own daughter only reinforces my opinion.
replies:
if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.
This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?

Fuckin half wit, no wonder CEO's love AI, dumb as bricks
Love it when these out of touch technocrats are shown being too high on their own supplies.
She sounds like a loser, I feel bad for her kid.
So AI is there to help psychopaths connect with family and wider society
When you have no idea how to parent specifically because you're a fucking monster.
These people are so out of touch

This woman's bad decisions brought down an Internet giant and yet she's still treated as if she is someone worth listening to.

"Also, find out whatever she's into and add a reminder to my calendar to send her some of whatever it is on her birthday whenever that is. It's a 'she', right?"
I would hate to see what it came up with based on my phone's gallery, lol

I genuinely don't understand people like this who are so averse to thinking that they go out of their way to prompt a language model to get an answer that they should've known already.
People in my life say I think to much despite the fact I'm naturally a deep thinker, quick is disappointing to hear from them because I know they use LLMs for "research", which really means to ask tops 3 questions and think you're informed.
Well hey, at least the rich can be unthinking dumbasses too
Had to input what the nanny told her about her kid.
Maybe CEOs aren't better than other people? Maybe they shouldn't be making important decisions.
This feels a bit like an ad for dazzle.
replies:
Wtf is a girlboss? Sounds incredibly sexist and condescending. She just better wear something cute and not bump her head on that glass ceiling.
replies:
Opposition is the easiest fucking job in the world
We forget sometimes that part of women’s liberation is that a woman is free to be just as big an asshole as a man.
I remember when this lady built a nursery near her office but wouldn't setup a daycare for yahoo staff or allow wfh.
She took a lot of shit for that move. Kind of sad that she had every opportunity to connect with her kids and yet doesn't know them at all.
I sure hope peoole doesn't just let them have all their photos. Please make it illegal to share photos with these companies.
Not smart just ruthless describes nearly every CEO. Uncaring and lacking empathy should be screened for from a early age. Those kids should be identified to everyone so you know to avoid their schemes and thus preventing the harm they cause. That this woman is unable to see her daughters talents and positive attributes is just in line with their missing piece of humanity.

Somebody get that kid outta there!
Geesus christ.
We really are living in the stupidest timeline.
This makes Idiocracy appear optimistic.
I think this sucks but I also think the headlines have never given Mayer a fair shake at anything and that also sucks. "Marissa Mayer dared to speak and we're here to get snarky about it" could apply to almost every headline I've seen that was about her. And this story charges straight to "girlboss." Ugh. Isn't there enough to criticize here without jumping straight to the kind of casual sexism we all laughed at in the 1980s? It's unprofessional.
