"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.
With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.
i recently found ecosia having better results than duckduckgo, give it a try. qwant also seemed ok but they geoblock me so i need a vpn to search there..
for keyword searching obscure stuff etools tend to work well for me but they have some weird system where you gotta refresh a couple of times to have results actually load properly
Yes, let me ask the computer voices about physical reality. Don't use AI. If you're going to anyway, leave it to the only domain it can interact with. It doesn't know shit.
Have a look at this project - Degoog.
I'm self-hosting mine but there are public instances as well. I find it to be pretty impressive and the lead developer seems like a super dude.
Of course! Why not?! Just tell people information that could KILL THEM! I am sure that has not happened before... right guys? Right? RIGHT?! AI is out of control and needs to be regulated. How many people have destroyed their stuff or died trusting AI? G-D only knows... oh my.
No.
Stupid people do stupid shit.
Gemini doesn't tell to to do this or that ("stick a fork in a socket and see what happens"). Your best friend tells you to jump off a bridge... Nope. AI is giving you the specs and things to consider. "If you jump off this particular bridge, then this will be the likely outcome". That is factually correct!
If you don't understand how to use AI as a probability indicator, that's on you. Not everyone who jumps off of that bridge or sticks that fork in that socket will die, but the odds exceed 87% or whatever.
If you can't use it for what it is, then don't use it. When I worked as an hvac tech for Walmart, sometimes AI had bad information, but it was always 100% correct in flagging something that looked out of spec ("This is a potential problem"). It had far more eyes to look at everything (every store), than my 2 eyes had looking only at the store I was in.
AI will give you a whole 'nuther perspective than your own 2 eyes and biased brain. "Well I've never been injured doing xyx". Yeah, OK. But "if you use a grinder without a face mask, and you injure your eyes, you won't get your eyesight back".
Take it for what it's worth. AI can show you some serious blind spots in your logic by condensing thousands of research papers and web pages in milliseconds.
If you don't want to use it, that's on you. I really don't care.
That fucking banchode.
I would not trust this result with my Rigol. Or my fingers.
Scopes needed to be able to deal with kV levels back in the time of tube TVs, but they used different probes for that, IIRC. The highest voltage level I have ever used on a scope were 48V.
The info in the screenshot actually souds correct for most rigols - still, not a trustworthy source of info. RTFM :)
Or ask someone who actually knows, yes.
Kagi is great. I have realized that I prefer that I’m paying with my money instead of my personal information to use it.
And I was able to use their free tier pretty effectively for awhile, until I got to the point where I was consistently exceeding the free monthly searches. Plus I feel good supporting them.
I'm also a kagi user and I think the service they provide is good.
I would say that paying for a service cannot always save you. Any public company cannot deny 2 revenue streams and it doesn't take long before they will take your money and sell your data.
You can pay Google for YouTube but they still harvest your data.
That’s a good qualification. Not all paid services are inherently good.
So far, Kagi seems to be. But remain suspicious!
