context window smdh let’s invest more, just a startup cost 😅😰

Sure, lots of people. Just not the group of people spending the majority of their lives communicating online.

the issue was losing cintext and forgetting about previous supply orders. wasnt about training

This word is new to me! From Dictionary.com:

in a way that is unyielding, unchangeable, or unavoidable.

Fate seemed to be working inexorably, relentlessly, to bring about the dictator's downfall.

When I was young I heard the phrase "time marches inexorably forward" and I always thought it was one of those really cool phrases everyone knew from some philosopher or like from Shakespeare or some highbrow source of wisdom or wit.

Recently I looked it up, and I can't for the life of me figure out where it came from, or why I thought it was one of those ubiquitous things everyone had heard before. It was probably actually from some X-Men cartoon or something silly but I'll never figure it out.

I wish I could go back in time and figure out where I heard that phrase with that specific wording but, you know what they say....

I tried to use it to make a simple drawing for an internal app logo the other day and wound up running out of tokens for the day trying to get it to put the rungs back into the ladder that it kept removing.

or the reverse where it was giving people free stuff.

They said the dystopian part out loud.

I love to shit on middle management as much as anybody else, but good managers are great. My manager worked his way up as a systems architect. He's incredibly smart, very friendly, and always has my back.

What getting rid of middle management does is build a solid wall between the workers and the upper class. There's no corporate ladder to climb. If you start at the bottom, you stay at the bottom. The people on top hire their buddies and other people in their class. This is like a drone strike on the shrinking middle class.

I wonder if AI would actually be good at replacing CEO and other C-suite positions, but was trained in such a way to purposely not be good at replacing a CEO because tech CEOs are the ones in control of this bubble.

Yes but it is training from this and as a result should get better. Ai was bad at everything until it stole the Internet and used it for training.

Average tips for baristas are higher only if they're female and have breasts bigger than a c-cup. So maybe they just need to follow through by giving the AI bigger tits.

I’m so sick of AI that I feel like a luddite

The luddites weren't against technology, the were against the exploitation of the workers enabled by technology

1. Get kagi. I don't use the internet without it

2. Get the huge u block ai blocklist.

3. Get newpipe and only flow youtubers you trust

4. Collect consoles and PCs from pre 2008 and put them in a room you can lock yourself in to be free from shitty modern tech

5. Delete social media

The problem is, AI is being used as a replacement for informed decisions/information, but it was never properly trained on how to be factual or make responsible adult decisions. AI is literally a global spam bot/virus that has infected Earth worse than Covid ever could. And the people pushing it on us are worse than anti-vax/anti-maskers.

I think thats completly false. Llm and be held accountable like a manager can.

The real danger imo is that hiring entry level needs to be deliberate. We MUST train the next generation and provide oppurtunity.

We will hire then, they will use AI, and it will bite them in the ass. This is a good thing though becauae we learn by getting burned.

Im ignoring the data center issue, which is really a "we wanna make money from subscriptions" scam. But open source models running on local hardware will sort that out over time.

No wait, where are the tungsten cube vending machines?

Yeah I think that's the way to look at it - as a fun experiment or stress test. Failing to serve coffee is pretty harmless.

I need you to understand that I've tried AI for ONE task recently, just a few weeks ago to see how it did, and your comment so perfectly encapsulates my experience.

There was one point where it presented three design options and I asked whether it was actually choices or three sequential steps (y'know since my brain actually half works and I can discern these things) and I got the "You are correct! 😄" response almost to the letter.

I was expecting a photograph of a ten. Bravo, expectation subverted at last moment. Four thumbs up.

Owner forgot to capitalize ALWAYS in "always refuse invalid request".

"why are you filling your coffee shop with canned tomatoes?"

"you'll never move tomatoes with that mindset"

As a bonus you don’t have to pay CEO salary to do it!

That alone would be a huge bump in profitability. Hell, just make it employee-owned so the workers see the benefits

A far better alternative is to replace CEOs with democratically organized workplaces, where everyone has an equal say and equal reward. Also known as socialism.

No, researchers are compensating for the expenses. Its okay if the business fails and they give up the lease. That's the experiment.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. Maybe they couldn’t stop it from driving it out of business but I don’t see how that’s possible. Like you said just turn it off

That story is so much more than that though. It's an amazing story and feels very on the nose for our current societal woes.

Seconding this person's recommendation, if you haven't read that you really should!

Did you not read the article? It's pretty clear that the AI is poorly running the cafe.
