If only there were a way to combine the two, then we could keep an even larger bubble going.

The predictable result of a “kingdom” ruled by an overgrown baby, who got put into power because it benefits other countries who need the oil to keep flowing. All the consulting and contracting dollars made along the way are a huge plus for those other countries duping the baby king. They’ve been duped by consultants for decades on idiotic projects like crop circles which suck up huge amounts of water to produce food at a higher price than they could get it imported using the very limited water which will not be replenished. They were sold on the idea of food independence, but it’s idiotic to tap into those reserves when you can import the food for cheaper. Keep the reserve in case food imports jump up in price! Now they’ve used up much of those reserves and won’t have it available for such an emergency, but the king of the time trusted the American consultants and enjoyed fluff pieces printed in American newspapers talking about how he’s such a visionary (sound familiar?) for pursuing this.

When the oil money runs out, they’ll be back to fighting over dunes of sand. It’s a damn shame because that money could’ve done so much good, but instead it went into feeding the egos of a bunch of “princes”.

If the argument for the ban is that depiction normalizes it, then there should be a ban on violence in all media, right?

Dr. Oz is a heart surgeon, but that doesn’t prevent him from selling bullshit.

Biden is israel’s bitch.

Its not a bubble but most people here dont think for themselves.

But the ones who believe the AI hype think for themselves. Right.

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.

All part of the roadmap.

Any day now…

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.
