there it is, sammy has gone and said people are just prompting the model wrong (I recall we’ve had that bit said here earlier)

but in true sammy grift: you just need to be asking the right questions to trump intelligence. “why do you want to suck, as a human?” sammy asks, not understanding a moment of humanity

oh, no no

nooooo no no no

there isn't an opt-out button

there is only:

1. "Continue",
2. "Learn More"

a couple weeks back, I was (bc reasons) looking around to see how to turn off goog's annoying gemini bullshit in an account, and you can!

except then even after doing that, accounts in that org still got prompts (in the form of in-app banners, and sparklebuttons in shit like gmail) to Try The Model

it looks like people aren't biting enough, because now you get it whether you like it or not, for the low low price of pushing up your base account fee! and I checked in one org - "Gemini App" is disabled org-wide, but the fucking prompt is immediately in the UI (and you get a modal popover opening gmail)

fuck these people so much

Where does this NPC meme even come from

probably fucking 4chan once again

it makes me feel fucking ancient to find that this dipshit didn't seem to get the remark, and it wasn't even that long ago

person who can barely brain themselves finds they have to engage with US postal system, hilarity ensues

(via friend who often sends me tweet-screenshots (one day I'll convince 'em to join here))

it happened

I popped out somewhere to have a drink, and got to have someone tell me about their “edutech” startup that “uses AI”

they very definitely overpromise (not gonna rinse their bullshit), and topped it off with “and then we use a LLM for suggesting improvements”

(I ejected from the conversation but I can still hear it; it’s progressed to “talking about property” in the terms of mediocre early-20s white kids talking leveraging daddy and uncle’s assets)

you appear to be lost, this isn’t “sama stan club”

and by library I hope you don’t mean a place of knowledge other humans rely on

my armchair linguist ass loves this post

“designed”, rather

Even “derived from” feels too strong a statement. “Was the result of”?

"hey copilot buddy please write me a http server for a guestbook application I can demo on my blog"

Lolyep, had the same thought the other day when that ascii-art bypass came up

Guess that’s what happens when you only hire them fresh out of uni before they can really learn anything in the world!
