There is yet to actually be a use case for chatbots that isn't profit-motivated. The entire effort to find a problem for them to solve has meant ecological harms at a scale that ma…

Oh come on, Proton, you're supposed to be better than this. Chatbots are proven privacy-violation engines. If you're going to act like Google, there's zero reason to pay for your s…

Oh look, carcinisation for Apple products. ipodisation: the tendency for non-iPod Apple products to evolve iPod-like features over time.

Chatbots can't teach critical thought or ethics. They need to be able to understand language and bias first, and that's an as yet unsolved problem. Until a chatbot is provably corr…

This smacks of the infinite growth fallacy.

That really is the solution: stop misusing phone numbers as secure channels.

Unfortunately they did it by switching to natural gas instead of the massive sustainable buildout they needed. Good job on reducing thorium and uranium emissions, at least.

You can't "enhance" from zero. LLMs by design are not capable of reason. We can observe LLM-like behaviour in humans: all those reactionaries who just parrot whatever catchphrases …

I am so here for bringing konbini life to the U.S.

Higher frames rates are good, when you actually get more frames. But motion smoothing is a fraud. It interpolates additional frames. In order to make things look consistent, it has…

The latest in a long line of utterly stupid decisions by Roku demonstrating their lack of competency. Why anyone willingly choses Roku anymore is beyond me.

The irony of using a chatbot to gain insight into the current problems with the job market
