I once randomly found Hossenfelder's YT channel, it had a video about climate change and someone linked it somewhere, I didn't know who she was. That video seemed fine, it correctly pointed out the urgency of the matter, and while I don't know enough climate science to say much about the veracity of all its content, nothing stuck out as particularly weird to me. So I looked at some other videos from the channel... and boooooy did I quickly discover some serious conspiracy-style nonsense stuff. Real "the cabal of physicists are suppressing the truth" vibes, including "I got this email which I will read to you but I can't tell you who it's from, but it's the ultimate proof" (both not quotes, just how I'd summarize the content...)

And the language's main data container is a kind of stack, but to push or pop values, you have to wrap them into "boats" which have to cross a "river", with extra rules for ordering and combination of values.

ahahahaha, thank you that's perfect
Yes, doing the thing which the entire business world is pouring billions into and trying their hardest to shove onto everyone to maximize imagined future profits, that's what counterculture is all about.
I'm just confused because I remember using Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows 98 in the 90s and it worked pretty accurately already back then for dictation and sometimes it feels as if all of that never happened.
Similar case from 2 years ago with Whisper when transcribing German.
I'm confused by this. Didn't we have pretty decent speech-to-text already, before LLMs? It wasn't perfect but at least didn't hallucinate random things into the text? Why the heck was that replaced with this stuff??
If anyone else is wondering: DSP here I think stands for "Delivery Service Partner", and driver for someone driving a vehicle. (I assumed the context "Digital Signal Processing" and driver as in "device driver" at first and was quite confused :P)
On-topic: I think regulation needs to come down hard on the delivery industry in general, be it parcels or food or whatever, working conditions there have been terrible for a long time.
rsyslog goes “AI first”
what
Thanks for the "from now on stay away from this forever" warning. Reading that blog post is almost surreal ("how AI is shaping the future of logging"), I have to remind myself it's a syslog daemon.
Yes, right, Reddit too! Forgot that one. When I visit there I use alternative Reddit front-ends now which luckily spare me from this.
btw I noticed that Etsy is not actually in SV, so the problem is bigger than that.

When an 8 year old thinks an AI is "far more knowledgeable than me about reasonable human behavior" that could lead a person to self-reflection. Could.
