tfw when you recognize it's Quality Rationalist Content

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

“our tools” says the poster, speaking of the non-consensually built plagiarism machine powering abuses

which “our” is that? does the boot require a lickee?

Where does this NPC meme even come from

probably fucking 4chan once again

both your comments made my eye twitch

like what’d happen if bob fucked up the symbols in a pentacle

./^ L E G S ^\.

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

you are way, way too short for this ride

“designed”, rather

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

definitely one of the longest ways to say "they're thieving little shits trying to sell things back to us after slapping a lick of paint on it" I've seen in a long while, unfortunately there's no achievement badge for that tho
