i'm not really interested in making this take or debating it. It's such a last gasp of trying to push these products and I'd rather ignore it all, but I can't really help myself sometimes

I have many possible talks and with the right motivations, I can merge them all into one voltron-talk

I have been trying to draw self-smoking cigarettes for a thing I'm working on but I have found there are many ways to visualise it. I wonder if there is an art piece in collected visions of self-smoking cigarettes

A friend works in recycling logistics and was asking CTO of another popular recycling app company how they do their vision ML for IDing high-quality recycled clothing, and it's literally just a wrapper over ChatGPT that works only slightly better than random chance
The key weakness in AI agents is that they're a lie. They don't work. They just don't fuckin' work. You can't set a hallucination engine to work doing tasks. It's pants on head stupid. The hype pretends this isn't the case and hypothesises a fabulous future where they work *at all*. This is a lie.

Generative AI is the apotheosis of this process. It's praised for doing better than a human on certain tasks, but those tasks were *made for computer logic* in the first place.
The new world will try to convince you that this computer logic is more valuable than your human thought. Defy it.
