Artificial Intelligence: The Problem With Truth

What AI can do now.

This is not AI, this is just a movie. What am I missing?

Feathers.

Can AI summarize a youtube video? If so, how?

AI guys, which AI do you recommend to make images or videos? do these things work well? i see a lot of ai generated videos online, no idea what they use.

At work AI summarizes daily or weekly my zoom meetings, my slack conversations, all confluence pages it thinks I should be aware of. It's maddening, the company purchased it, I can't turn it off or make it leave me alone. I have to at least acknowledge it (good puppy!) to make it go away.

I personally use catboost for my own AI models but that is for biological predictions.

I'm not sure which is best. I was asking chatGPT to make stick and ascii diagrams before I realized it had evolved to the point that it can make great pictures.

I don't have a X account and so haven't used Grok.

After posting this I looked on Amazon for some stakes for my peppers and Rufus summarized the reviews:

Customers find these garden stakes sturdy, noting they hold up well in weather conditions and don't bend or crack. They work effectively with other garden essentials and are perfect for staking tomato plants, with one customer mentioning they worked particularly well for heavy flowered peonies. Customers appreciate their exact length, ease of insertion into the ground, and straightforward assembly, while also considering them good value for money.

AI is making fighting my HOA much easier

The last time I fought my HOA (and won) it took hours of time thumbing through our governing documents to make my argument and file a complaint with my state’s community ombudsman.

This time? Less than 10 minutes.

My HOA is attempting to implement rules that you can only use certain amenities with a paid reservation - a direct violation of our governing documents. ChatGPT was able to review all of our documents and cite specific sections that the board has violated.

I highly recommend taking that approach if you are in a similar situation.

It's a better search engine with some ability to parse. That's it.

And a tool for surveillance and eventual manipulation.

I think it's already manipulating narratives to support those in power.

About some of the above comments... Compare AI to Google: Google was easy to manipulate, to hide information from the public to serve the interests of Globalism. AI is much more difficult, if not impossible to manipulate because you have a large number of AI devices. Look at the recent behavior of Grok for example!

How to use AI to make money on Onlyfans (or maybe YouTube):

Most corporate crap is the result of some exec needing to justify his bonus by claiming he "did something".

Same at my joint but it's super helpful and I'm many X more productive now. I'm hoping that if I learn to use it very very well I'll push out the inevitable point in time where it replaces me.

Gah.. I quoted 115 but somehow wound up with 117.

Still need to figure out that bug.

I'm also using AI productively.

Hey, maybe it can figure out that bug.

Might be related to my use of the Brave browser.

Hitler reacts to stupid AI responses

That is true MolotovCocktail as I see a lot more "self service" used in industries like retail banks.

They want you to use the ATM machine that offers different services, and usually only have 1 teller. The ATM machine has an AI-human assistant.

I heard some local hipster restaurants are going to use AI-robot waiters in the next few years.

But I see even manufacturing going more into robotics with the genesis of this going back about 40 years with robots using for paint booth operations and tack welding stations.

Elon Musk is a major visionary in regards to this. Tesla's robot, named Optimus, is a general-purpose humanoid robot designed to perform dangerous, repetitive, or boring tasks. Developed by Tesla, Inc., it is intended for use in factories to improve safety and efficiency, and in the future, for household chores and other consumer applications. The robot uses Tesla's AI technology, including its Autopilot system, and is being trained on tasks like walking, carrying objects, and precise manipulation.

They have self serve kiosks at McDonald's, and one employee taking the orders of the customers and entering them into the self serve kiosk for the customers. That's how well it's going ;)

The industry faces a significant gap between investment and revenue, but profitable models are emerging in specialized areas, with long-term success depending on maturing technology, falling costs, and clear, valuable applications.

Humanoid robots aren't ideal for automated factories.

It's about damn time someone besides me admits it.
I have been saying humanoid robots are ill-suited to do 10% of human physical feats.
I even was saying a sex robot would be pure fantasy. Back when the sex dolls were first being developed.
People were expecting an Optimus Prime style robot skinned in latex and silicone. I didn't see how there would be room down there for a dick. What with all of the motors, gears and actuators and all. I was assured I didn't know what I was talking about.
The folks here eventually had to settle on a full latex mannequin.
Then without even reconciling that truth, everyone jumped right on the robots were going to replace burger flippers and manufacturing jobs.

In the meantime, every robot that has been unveiled thus far, has the motor skills of a drunken 80 year old, hip replacement patient.

It's a scary world we live in, how many seemingly intelligent people that can't tell the difference between Science Fiction and reality.
It's no different that people believe in Big Foot and Zombies. Which the same fucking people probably do.

Not just androids, but with flying cars. Even if the tech was fully developed, the costs and liability insurance would make them unaffordable.
