Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Sam Altman says AI won't shorten the workweek because humans secretly enjoy being busyEnglish
4·15 days agoThe “secret” is people want and will actively seek out passions, and having a job that you’re passionate about is a night and day difference.
All you need to get people passionate is provide livable wage, have a supportive work culture, and give them a sense of purpose for their work.
Instead we’ve got shit pay, managers that will abuse your trust to get free work then dump you on a bad quarter, and all sense of choice and responsibility stripped in favor of getting you to follow a corporate script and be a good little corporate automaton that absorbs the customer’s complaints while being powerless to fix their issue.
I’d argue the Monkey’s Paw is a bad example because I don’t think the Monkey’s Paw is actively malicious like a djinn.
I think Monkey’s Paw just works off of path of least resistance. What’s the fastest way to randomly get rich? Workplace accident causing life insurance payout. What’s the least effort way to revive the dead? Just make the corpse start moving again. What’s the easiest way to give a shambling corpse peace? Undo the last wish.
I feel like a Djinn wouldn’t let you undo the reviving wish. They’d probably just put them in a coma so your son is now in a half dead comatose state forever.

Technology@lemmy.world•After a 40-year wait, technology finally enables three-sided zipper designEnglish
5·3 months agoY’see the 3 sided zipper can only exist in cosmic levels of pressure and heat, being constrained by advanced AI controlled magnets to prevent the zipper from getting caught on something.

Technology@lemmy.world•First AI Model From Zuckerberg's Wildly Expensive Superintelligence Lab Flops Compared to Virtually All RivalsEnglish
7·4 months agoActually Deepseek’s having a resurgence because of their Engram module which is truly novel.
It’s not so much that Deepseek is a flash in the pan but more like they do some cool new thing and everyone copies their work while they recede back into their research.
Some time ago: “I just hope the most evil people are so dumb that they get found out”

Games@lemmy.world•The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. English
6·6 months agoThen I’d have to also tell you to never play a game or buy a product ending in 99 cents. Getting into the mind of the consumer is business 101 and is literally the difference between a game/product having any success or not.
And this has been proven, JCPenney tried to get rid of 99 cent pricing and led to losing 30% profits and bankruptcy. The people who want fair and square pricing won’t be there to actually buy it.

Technology@lemmy.world•AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warnsEnglish
10·7 months agoFundamentally due to it’s design, LLMs are digital duct tape.
The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM’s solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.
But it’s ultimately still a compromise, you’ll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it’s sole purpose is to fulfill the “human readable” part of that deal. So it’s applications are revolutionary in the same way as “how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?” kind of way.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it.
50·8 months agoI feel like if this was a specific character going “wait that’s not normal lol” the joke would land better. But as it is the only frame of reference we have is one representing women and one representing men.
And it just all falls flat because women can have mental illnesses too? And yes men are forced to repress it more often but women often have their physical or mental health dismissed or ignored so it’s not much better either way.
I’m trans so I’ll never face a period but I can’t imagine the agony of going through one in addition to a mental health crisis or other sickness. And it’s not like women get “period days off” of work or school so you’re just expected to push through it.
The spark is temporary, in my experience it comes and goes in waves. But a relationship requires work, even if your bored with/frustrated at/unfulfilled by your partner, some level of effort and perseverance is where true love begins.
There’s always a balance, don’t put effort into a sinking ship. But if you want a long term marriage your going to have to risk investing in someone who’s not currently satisfying you.
Also get checked for anything external that could make you lose interest, like depression that fosters apathy or ADHD that fosters boredom. If it’s bad enough to end 5 marriages it may be that your brain is chemically unsatisfied.

Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia falls 14% in premarket trading as China's DeepSeek triggers global tech sell-offEnglish
1·2 years agoThe official hosting of it has censorship applied after the answer is generated, but from what I heard the locally run version has no censorship even though they could have theoretically trained it to.
Arguably not natural since it relies on plastic or petroleum to make.
Pioneers used to ride those babies for miles.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•My issue with every chatbot I've tried
41·2 years agoI ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.
But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.
Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase priceEnglish
19·2 years agoIf he was that competent why would he resort to openly pumping and dumping meme coins in public just prior to this stunt.
He has some dangerous strings he can pull, but that doesn’t make him a good puppet master.

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase priceEnglish
552·2 years agoCorrect me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure he gave an outlandish bid for Twitter to manipulate it’s stock prices when he pulled put, but he was sued into following through.
I don’t think he ever wanted to buy it, or at least he wanted to crash it’s value to come back and buy it on the cheap.
Humans have advanced far but hardly changed.

I genuinely think Disney licensed to Sora because they saw how unprofitable it was and knew it would go under anyways.
Because Disney got OpenAI to pay for a license they now have no use for.
