And it’s somehow a surprise to you that the worlds richest corporations collectively can keep up an investment bubble for four years?

They’ll not be able to do it indefinitely, and profitability of any LLM business is not on the horizon so far.

Aaaah, maybe not while the Romans still fed them to the lions.

When this kind of extortion model started, for a number of german news outlets it was actually proven that they wouldn’t stop tracking, just reduce it.

the other lanes often cannot see that there’s a pedestrian at all because the car is blocking the view. They just see a car stopped for no reason.

If other car stop at crosswalk, assume person walking cross. How hard can it be? One of the first things I learned in driving school is “if ball, then child!” and this is the same.

The US is one country. I guess Italy would rather pump that money into their own industry. Just like most other members.

Self checkout takes at least twice the time as going past the cashier. I have to do both our jobs but don’t magically have more hands. I only use it if I have 5 items tops or there is a very long line.

Those two cars would presumably go the speed limit and not block others behind them.

Even in the post, one driver freaks out and does this unhinged maneuver, all the others stay behind the bikes. So fuck off with “most cars”.

No, you have to tell them. And then not be on facebook for them to reach you there.

Besides hardware manufacturers (nvidia et al) not a single company is growing because of AI.

Of course they do it on purpose. Even the first incident was doing it on purpose.

A bottle opener that was gifted to me when I was 16.

Revenue growth that suggests a path to profitability would be a start.

It’s got nothing to do with safety, he doesn’t have the numbers to go public and is trying to mask that.

So there indeed was a perfectly good other choice.

Nah, it’s more the way they say it. The guy on the left tells some news, the other guy won’t believe him (“Nein!”), the first guy reaffirms (“Doch!”), and then the other is just at a loss for words and appalled (“Oooooh!”).

The delivery is very memorable. We usually cite it sarcastically when the news is something people already knew or assumed or that was obvious but is presented as uncertain or totally new (e.g. clues that certain corrupt politicans are indeed corrupt).

So the headline might read “Has Trump been lying when he claimed xyz?” and we’ll go “Nein!” “Doch!” “Ohhhh!”

The first one originates from this.

The second is from a French movie, but I have no idea if people find it funny in other languages than German.

Pretty sure it’s this one.

Edit: no, damn, how could I forget:

The workforce consists of more than software devs. In the big picture, pretty much nobody uses LLMs for anything that even remotely justifies it’s cost.

My boss uses it to write “first drafts” of documents that I then have to rewrite 90% of because it outputs hot air and repetitive phrases instead of useful content.

That’s not a ballroom, that’s a space station!
