I have zero sympathy for the brainless NPCs that lookednat what gr•k said and ran with it as though it's fact. Trusting one of those clankers is just as bad as saying you saw it in a lucid dream and therefore it's 100% accurate.

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.

I could make fake headlines on a dozen topics that would get lemmy to upvote me like crazy. Place information that conforms to someone's belief system under their nose, ya got 'em. Works best if the headline is rage inducing.
Even when revealed as fake, people tend to fall back on, "Well that headline may be fake, but it's still happening in the real world."
Just came off a post where half the commenters obviously didn't read the article, not even the first paragraph. People get beat up on here daily for simply stating an uncomfortable, yet incontrovertible, fact.
This happened just yesterday with a post from Tom's hardware.
Said that Linux gaming was upto 30% faster than Windows.
The testing was flawed for anyone that looked at the source video, the hardware was running at different power limits and this higher clock speeds for gpu and cpu.
People started talking major shit against windows because of it.
Btw the term clanker was a word that meant robot fucker. So I think it applies to the LLMs and those that use them. Useless clankers.
We were there! It happened!
Something either is or isn't fake, it doesn't become fake. What a fucking world we live in ...
AI is ridiculously stupid and often wrong but grok is like an Olympian when it comes to distorting facts, which I'm sure has nothing to do with Epmo "I'm the best engineer in the world huuurrr duuuuhhhrr" Musk's meddling
Almost the triumph of disinformation where the fucking techbros try to make the event a non-event. Yet still it happened.

I’m curious what the trees claim was. Did too many trees change colors or too few? Was it as dumb as pointing to evergreens and wonder why they were still green? Do they think foliage changes all at once? Did they even look at what side of peak foliage we were at?
The foliage is fucked this year because of a drought that started in July. This basically causes the leaves on most trees to just drop and go brown. They aren't changing color this year like they normally would. Trees are dehydrated.
So a lot of trees already have lost leaves earlier than they should, or they are still green. Hence the classic foliage colors aren't around this year.
Yes? Well, this shitty site does not talk to people outside the US...
