Make more, duh

The ISS was a money pit from the start.

No, it's produced great knowledge on maintaining rotting clunky shit in space. Maybe that knowledge will pay off handsomely one day. It's always been hard to predict the utility of cutting edge R&D.

Just givvit a few good kicks, will work like a Millennium Falcon charm.

Stop the vocab fight! It's pointless and useless! Every known definition of "AI" and even "intelligence" has big flaws. I've been in hundreds of such debates, No Human nor Bot Has Ever Proposed A Hole-Free Definition of "Intelligence", so go home and shuddup already!

...for fucking up like ChatGPT can. Take that Atari!

[ChatGPT] first blaming the Atari icons as too abstract...continued badly and that the AI chatbot repeatedly requested that the match start over

To anybody that wants to know, it is already clear that LLMs, including the "reasoning" variant, have zero reasoning abilities

A good many humans don't either. They memorize patterns, rituals, slogans, etc. but can't think logically.

The problem is local compute is absurdly front loaded cost wise. The big Nvidia cards that can run the larger models (And no a 5080 isn't even close) the costs can run in the tens of thousands for just one. If your needs are modest a Mac Studio MIGHT cover inference (256gb unified memory goes a long way, and most of the key libraries now support metal) but for serious work you gotta go Nvidia, and that aint cheap.

Its this thing that I assume is screwing up the universities. Universities usually have giant pools of people working in various capacities, from admin full timers, to academics, t ground staff, professors, and more often then not a huge number of postgrads not exactly on the payroll but still working on research projects whilst living off scholarships and grants. Even a small university could have upwards of 5000 employees, contractors and postgrads.

I *dont* understand why universities would tolerate this sort of corporate bullying from Oracle, when alternative JVMs and DBMS are *right there*. Though I strongly suspect Oracle Financials are the sticking point.

"So, how do these illegal therapy bots make you feel? Do they remind you of your mother?"

Dear Rude Neckbeard, YOU were not clear on whether you meant Mel not having enough energy, or outright dying. I interpreted it as the first (although perhaps should have stated that assumption in hindsight).

Because it's bundled with MS's Big Beautiful Bundle. Clueless managers only look at the superficial cost savings and don't factor in the wasted labor from dealing with bad bundled products compared to a real application from a more competent different vendor.

Penny Wise Pound Foolish.

I wanted to murder Teams hundreds of times over the past few years. It's slowly getting better, going from F-minus to D-minus, but it still sucks the big one to Hell and back. Employees just eventually get used to its many oddities and flaws and learn to work around them.

The only reason so many shops use this P.O.S. is that MS bundles it with all the other MSware, making it a "really terrific deal". It couldn't survive in the market as a single product, even if open-sourced.

But the bundle "deal" is penny-wise-pound-foolish, because the total labor wasted dealing with its f$ckage is much more than the bundle savings. PHB's don't weight the labor waste into the judgement because it's not taken directly out of their own budget.

SharePoint is in a similar boat.

I'm not sure you understand what jailbreaking means in the context of AIs. It means prompts. E.g. asking it things and trying to get it to make inappropriate responses. Trying doesn't require any special skills, just an ability to communicate. Yes, I very much DO think most parents will try and see if they can get the doll to say inappropriate things before giving it to their children, to make sure it's not going to be harmful.

(Now, if Mattel has done their job right, *succeeding* will be difficult)

Must ... Resist ... Trump ... Jokes

We should give amnesty to established illegal immigrants, otherwise we may end up with similar problems. Our fat national budget deficit couldn't handle a population decline, for one.
