I find myself telling co-workers that if they couldn't be bothered writeing the email/document, why should i have to be bothered reading the document/email.

this is just spam, people sending unsolcited data at you and expecting you to swoollow and process that data.

its just rude and unreasonable, not to mention an unconscious (hopefully) act of sabotage.

this is going to be a very interesting study for modularized, distributed power grid in a war affected environment.

Its one of the reasons I think Its better than Nuclear power. Power stations make fantastic high value targets in war, and a quick easy way to cripple an enemy and permanently hamper their ability to operate into the future.

A society with solar (and maybe batteries) make for a target thats hard to cripple, and easy to repair and recover.

I feel like in war and natural disasters this as a seriously undervalued aspect

how are we detecting AI gen text?

Humans? We're not particularly effective at this as a whole...

AI service ? We'd probably have to pay for that AI to detect that AI and well.. Its also not particularly effective

Effectiveness is important, because we dont want real human produced data to be accidentally removed from view, just as much if not more so than having AI gen data being left on the site.

iwould advise that if you love it, stay and coast.

this AI bubble will pop. when it does you'll be hot stuff all over again.

100% agree, its also disturbing that they want to make seem like a human.

I suspect most people would prefer it to behave like the computer in star trek. just be there, and be responsive in direct polite ways. dont try to be a friend, dont try to pretend its people. its not. its fucking code.

yeah... its a thing.

Its kinda annoying when you open a dev/cyb sec blog in the office and furry characters are scattered all over it.

I'm starting the think we should never have left the text only internet.

its also a trait of authoritarianism to not value what others think.

They will lie, over state and misdirect and not care that lots of people find those statement as incredulously ridiculous. Because its all dog whistles all the time. they're speaking to some people who hear it exactly as it was intended.

I've posted this anecdote before, but i feel its worth posting again because I've seen this spread further.

amusing side note: Was in a meeting reviewing a potential new product, it was going well until they showed us that they had added AI to it (of course they have). It was pretty obviously just shoehorned in, and one part of that obviousness was that they had a column that showed how many tokens it took to make each query.

I asked who is paying for the tokens, they said its included in the license. I said, so is there a budget or is it all you can eat. they said good question they didnt know and would get back to me. I said the reason i asked was just one query there had a 250k token burn on it. and it was a fairly simple query about one device.

then, one of the execs on their side was heard saying out loud "Why are we even showing this to the customers?"

it have us quite a chuckle. But lesson learned... the cost of adding AI to anything isnt really being accounted for let alone the true cost of actually running the AI.

all things AI are going to get more expensive. even if you dont want the AI aspect.
