Comment Two steps (Score 2) 112

1) absolutely demand right to repair - the idea that units which may be in FUCKING COMBAT need to call a service tech is unbelievably stupid.
2) find out who approved this contract AND FIRE THEM.

The contract needs to go away, and anyone in the DoD who agreed to this is literally not doing their job in a way that could ostensibly cost lives. This level of incompetence not only can't be tolerated, there have to be actual consequences.

Originally there were two tiers of cable channels: the "bundled" ones like ESPN, CNN, etc (those have pretty much always had commercials, they were just like additional tv stations), and "premium" channels like HBO and Showtime, which you specifically had to pay an additional monthly fee for. Those premium channels were free of external commercials (ie they would promo their own shows, etc but this was confined to between shows, never within them) until at least what the mid 90s? Later?

Comment Whatsapp next (Score 2) 20

So the Meta AI app is bad, but this shit will appear everywhere and in places where it serves no purpose. I have an uncle-in-law living in South Africa who came over to Ireland and had a problem with Whatsapp on his phone. The problem was it had a frigging AI chatbot stuck in the middle of the UI. He's hard of seeing so his phone had font zoom on everything and this thing was eating 20% of the screen. As far as I could tell there was no way to turn it off or hide it from the UI either and I tried.

Why did he have it but my Whatsapp didn't? No idea, but presumably they forced it on some regions with lesser privacy regs with the intent of rolling it out everywhere in due course. So enjoy AI dogshit everywhere, even in apps where it makes no sense.

According to the hurricane poeple, it is. I'm just using your approach.

All the data globally show ABSOLUTELY no trend increasing in severity (ACE) nor frequency; the bedwetting about warming and hurricanes is *all based on North Atlantic zone data*.
Funny, no? Are you agreeing then that it's ridiculous to talk about a Global Climate Change concern based on regional data alone?
Which way would you like to have it? Pick one.

Comment Hallucination (Score 1) 73

Hallucination from AI can boost stock prices more than even President Trump. We are on the right track here. AI that ignores facts, invents evidence, and gives the requested results will make any realists, sceptics, truth sayers etc in finance a thing of the past. What could possible go wrong.

And we know everybody in big money are very honest, and would never do anything for money, or to cover up mistakes.

*** sarcasm off ***

AI is great with words, can help with code. But when it comes to hard facts, then AI is not doing well. If AI is supposed to replace lots of people looking at invoices etc, then we have been past that for years. We want only electronic invoices, and have out-flagged lower level finance to a cheaper country . We can not do this cheaper with AI. And we would still need humans for the 2-10% that AI will not handle well.
