Yes, this I feel is the crux of the situation. The industry is trying to hammer a probabilistic solution into deterministic holes. I mean, it’s no wonder people keep fucking up their shit with openclaw. If have an agent, it should do exactly what I tell it.

Everyone wants to vote for a principled leader, but there are those of us who aren’t willing to give up the tiny bit of power we have just to try and prove a point.

This is a 2 party system, regardless of lip service. Kamala wasn’t my first choice for president but she was the only one. It was her or the other fucker full stop. So, I did everything I could to elect the one who we had some hope of controlling. The dems showed they ultimately listen to their voters with enough pressure when they ditched Biden, the other guy we all knew what was going to happen.

So, to all those protest voters, I’m super happy for you and your maga companions, feeling so proud of yourselves while the country burns.

I too have been to Jamaica. That second bite of brownie was an experience.

The colloquial we, I most certainly did not vote for this either but I’m American and will be painted with the same brush the rest of the world paints us.

Agree wholeheartedly on the Cassandra’s comment, I’m wearing it as a badge of pride.

Yes, this is the future we all wanted, a workforce consisting of nothing but influencers and prison labor (what else are those camps for). The american dream everyone!

I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. This on the heels of the Supreme Court essentially making him untouchable. None of what is happening was a secret, it was literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

And it’s all part of ai training data now too.

I used to wonder when I watched “Star Trek TNG” as a kid, how they could ask for and get such detailed biographical information of a long dead person, enough to recreate that person convincingly, in a holodeck. Well, I guess I have my answer.

I really thought I’d be living in something like the federation one day, instead I’m here boning up on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

Fixed - “The US news media is succeeding in its mission to prevent the public from knowing there is a possible war with Iran coming”

What did ever happen to that one old lady anyway?

I don’t hate AI, I kinda like it and I do think it will redefine computing in the future.

I hate the people behind it, and who are pushing it. I hate the hype, I hate the pressure, I hate how dangerous it is without guardrails, I hate the stupidity of people using it, and getting addicted to it because it’s an ego stoking machine. I hate the entire industry around it.

But I really enjoy using and learning about it in my own sandbox. I use a number of local LLMs successfully for research and learning. But I don’t trust them, at all, I think of them as an egotistical knowitall who has no problem lying to make themselves feel smart. There’s tons of useful info to get from them, but you have to understand what you are dealing with.

I’m very curious what the future looks like. It really depends on us though. Critical thinking and being observant are the new critical skills for success in the he future. Unfortunately neither are particularly common these days so I have a feeling I will continue to hate for a while now…

I haven’t been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.

I get that you do, so downvote, get yourself an instance and ban accounts that break the rules, I’m 100% for it.

My initial post I was both agreeing with the comment about the sentiment, that they shouldn’t have to be confronted with it. The rest was an attempt to illustrate why it’s human nature and inevitable. I ended it saying I’m sorry assholes do it. I meant it both politically and in support of the sentiment.

So you attack and swear at me when I agree but happen to acknowledge that it’s going to fucking happen and suggest you learn to ignore it.

Grow the fuck up.

So don’t do the thing you seem incapable of doing and do not engage with it. I never forced you to read my posts, and this is a public forum where people can downvote to their hearts content.

The reason I’m even mentioning it is as a discussion. I’m not doing it, but I am also observant enough of human nature to know some rules on the side of the page won’t do shit. Just like the politics, either do something about it or ignore it.

Otherwise good luck changing reality.
