It's gonna be super fun to see the "market" react to AI companies introducing "surge pricing" for compute: Oh, you need to get this project done till Friday and all your staff is just vibecoding? Token price is now 5 times the normal amount.

I just saw the William Shatner “Will Shat” commercial from Raisan Bran and lost it.
I guess I missed it during the Super Bowl.

Musk's main achievements: taking credit for inventing car tech that is now being surpassed; adding annoying design elements and juvenile easter eggs to said cars; gaming the stock market with lies and nonsense; filling Earth's orbit with an impenetrable field of debris that may end space exploration

So, evidently Bill Gates thinks he should get a bye because he didn't actually rape girls at Jeffrey's house but merely asked the convicted pedophile to get him some antibiotics that he could sneak into Melinda's food so he wouldn't have to confess that he gave her the clap that he got from some […]

CEO Slop. https://c.im/@cdarwin/115839718353757844
Chuck Darwin (@cdarwin@c.im)
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella made it clear that he’d prefer we all quit the term "AI Slop". “We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication,” Nadella wrote in a rambling post flagged by Windows Central, arguing that humanity needs to learn to accept AI as the “new equilibrium” of human nature. Going on, Nadella said that we now know enough about “riding the exponentials of model capabilities” as well as managing AI’s “‘jagged’ edges” to allow us to "get value of AI in the real world.” “Ultimately, the most meaningful measure of progress is the outcomes for each of us,” the CEO concludes, in an impressive deluge of corporate-speak that may or may not itself by AI-generated. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-satya-nadella-ai-slop

I don't normally post local things on Masto, but for folks here in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Translink is free all night tonight. Be safe, take transit. If you forgot and drove into town, leave the car behind, take transit home if you've been enjoying recreational substances.

Hey, friends. It's evening time in North America. Whatever you do tonight, please don't drink and drive. And stay off the road if you can. You're important and the Fediverse needs you safe.

I’m now bridging with Bluesky, so if you use it and see me at @bvp.me, that’s legit.
I’m not trying to use Bluesky as much as I’m just trying to see how well (or not) federation works. I’m following a handful of Bluesky accounts here on my Mastodon instance and would like to see how easy (or […]
