Microsoft was ready to lose money on Xbox for 10 years to take a place in the console market. And it’s a very profitable market for them now.
Is it? They recently had mass layoffs in the Xbox division and had to jack up prices for gamepass. Compared to Sony and Nintendo, their console sales are pitiful. This is after pouring billions of dollars into the Xbox brand.
It’s too bad the servers aren’t still up. I loved Crysis Wars.
I agree that, on a surface level, the justification seems reasonable, but it falls flat in the face of reality. The existence of israel actually makes it less safe for Jews around the world because the horrific actions of israel are incorrectly conflated as being the will of all Jews. Additionally, it’s a terrible idea to concentrate as many Jews as possible into a single small country. That only makes them more vulnerable. With how many enemies the israelis are making through their actions, the second they don’t have the backing of the most powerful military in the world, they’re open to attack. They’re relying on always being defended no matter what they do and they use it as a license to carry out the most horrific acts, including genocide. It’s not sustainable and it should not be excused or tolerated.
“nazi germany” does not exist anymore and is a different country from “Germany” (notice the lack of nazi in the name). israel was founded by terrorists and has always been ruled by extremists who wanted to create lebensraum for their genocidal ethnostate utopia. Palestine and israel are not divided by religion. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived together in Palestine long before the bloody concept of israel was conceived.
israel should not exist just like how nazi germany does not exist anymore.
Maybe. It’s probably not high quality training data for the most part, though.
I’ve used it to explore some avenues without having to write a complete implementation. If the approach shows promise, then I go through the code and mostly rewrite it because the code it generates is terrible. I also use it if I don’t care about the project I’m on. They want to “do test-driven development” while having poorly-defined requirements that constantly change on a whim while also setting unreasonable unit test coverage thresholds? Cool, I’ll let the AI shit out a bunch of unit tests and waffle stomp it to satisfy your poorly thought out project requirements.
That’s the P in ChatGPT: Pre-trained. It has “learned” based on the set of data it has been trained on, but prompts will not have it learn anything. Your past prompts are kept to use as “memory” and to influence output for your future prompts, but it does not actually learn from them.
With enough duct tape and chewed up bubble gum, surely this will lead to artificial general intelligence and the singularity! Any day now.
I think it also highlights the absurdity that the stock market has become and how it directly contributes to a culture that allows for human suffering as long as record profits are believed to be around the corner.
I don’t even understand what record profits they’re expecting at this point. Their sales numbers are dropping, they’re facing stiffer competition, the carbon credits and ev tax credits which benefited tesla so much are going away, and more of their newer offerings like the cybertruck and the taxi service have been absolute disasters. Somehow the company still enjoys about a $1 trillion market cap.
Special characters is just one case to cover. If the user says they want “an elephant-sized drink” what does that mean to your system? At least that is relevant to size. Now imagine complete nonsense input like the joke you responded to (“-1 beers” or “a lizard”). SQL injection isn’t the only risk with handling inputs. The person who ordered 18,000 waters didn’t do a SQL injection attack.
This is more complicated than just having the available menu items, the available modifications, and the limits on quantities to compare against. This is already available through the app/online ordering.
I don’t know how you can think voice input is less versatile than text input, especially when a lot of voice input systems transform voice to text before processing. At least with text you get well-defined characters with a lot less variability.
This is handwaving, which, to be fair, describes a lot of AI “solutions”. An anomaly could be as basic as a customer not wanting onions on their burger because the vast majority don’t make that modification.
Now what do you do in that situation? Force orders to never have modifications? That customization is such an important feature to the point that burger king adopted it as a slogan with “have it your way”.
I don’t think I could keep my expenses at 65% of what I spend now because I already spend as little as I can since I’m trying to save up for an early retirement. I’d love to retire as early as possible.
Are we waiting on the US to approve or disapprove every political action in the world?
Too late. The US already has a ton of influence here and is currently content with supplying Ukraine with just enough to hold off Russia but nothing more. If the other western countries increase their support, the US will just scale back an equal amount.
Also “3D Movies” is a whole joke on its own.
But the ones who believe the AI hype think for themselves. Right.
