Off the Record / Re: The AI dooooooom thread

Last post by Valmy - Today at 01:02:18 AM

I use AI just goofing around, mostly preparing RPG stuff for my games with my son, and it is rather shocking just how bad it is at keeping track of simple details and mixing things up that no human would ever mix up. It requires tons of handholding just in the silly things I use it for. I often think of that person wanting to generate an image of Jesus flipping over the tables of the money changers and for the AI to produce an image of gymnast Jesus doing backflips over tables. The money changers would have been impressed.

It can also be shockingly great at things. But fuck I would be super paranoid about using it in a professional or serious capacity.

I've been looking for a new job (Deli clerk isn't paying enough to get my mom her medications), and I saw that ICE was hiring.


I'm not that fucking desperate.


"Do you think you are hated by people in your community?  Would you like to be sure?  Join ICE!"

I think that is definitely part of the problem. Currently ICE tends to attact only the psychopaths and the desperate, not those actually interested in community service in law enforcement.

That is a huge fucking trophy on Netanyahu's mantle.

Well good for him.

Hey another reason Israel no longer needs our money.

Yeah it seems to be escalating.

Imagine the US and Trump if they get rid of Maduro and Iran collapses, on top of things like the hugely effective Israeli operations against Hezbollah and the collapse of Assad.

Yeah well...we'll see.

Iran was a minor annoyance at best and we will see what follows if it actually collapses. Likewise we will see what happens in Venezuela.

So has he been identified by name? If not how does the press know it's the same guy?

And even if he is, perhaps, just perhaps, this is not reason enough to start shooting random civilians in the head.

Ah seems a new thread was made and I missed it.
In the spirit of the thread. Anyone see the latest tennis news from Kenya?

An apparently random woman who seemingly doesn't know how to play tennis, can't even serve, gets into a pro tournament. The expected happens

Honestly though it probably was an innocent error by the organisers it seems to have worked out as great publicity for them. There was a tennis tournament in Nairobi. Who knew.

Maybe he should have let go? These dudes think they're all Rambo.
